Matthew pointed at the blueprint with his slim, delicate finger. "The amusement park will be built on the open space next to the mansion and I'm going to start a rose garden here. What do you think?"
"You want to start a garden?" Selina asked. "It's all my fault. I turned your flower garden into a vegetable garden. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to start another one."
Matthew laughed.
He poked Selina's forehead. "Silly girl, there will only be roses in this garden. This rose garden is specially made for you."
"For me?" Selina was shocked.
"Yes." Matthew's eyes were clear and had Selina's reflection in it. "Selina, I have been negligent during this period. I almost forgot that my little girl is a little princess. She needs romance all the time, right?"
Selina's throat became hoarse.
After a while, she shook her head bitterly. "There is no need. There is really no such need." "It's necessary." Matthew's voice was firm. "In the future, I will have many things for you besides the rose garden, so that you will always be surprised."
Tears moistened Selina's eyes.
"Matthew, you've done enough," she said in a low voice.
"It's not enough. Otherwise, why would you break up with me? Selina, it is my negligence, but rest assured that I will not be negligent anymore. I will put in all my effort for the rest of my life." Speaking of this, Matthew paused and the look in his eyes deepened. "So little girl, promise me that you are not allowed to overthink in the future, okay? You are not allowed to mention anything about breaking up."
Selina nodded with difficulty.
Then, she turned her head away.
A pearl-sized tear rolled down her cheeks, but Selina quickly wiped it away.
She turned back and said, "Well, go and hand over the company. You said that you would accompany me in the future, so settle the company's affairs first,"
Matthew put the blueprint aside and said, "Okay, I'll hand it over first,"
Selina nodded.
Matthew held Selina's hand once more. "Walk me
to the car?"
The car was parked outside the villa, and it would only take a few minutes to get there.
Selina's cold palm turned warm in Matthew's hand.
She agreed.
Matthew held her hand all the way until they reached the front of the car.
"Go quickly," Selina said.
Matthew didn't get into the car immediately.
He wrapped his arms around Selina's waist and then leaned over to kiss her forehead. He spoke in a low voice, "Selina, don't ever mention what you said last night ever again. Your words really hurt my heart. Do you understand?"
Selina's breath was caught in her throat.
She didn't answer Matthew.
Matthew looked at her seriously. "If I'm doing something wrong, tell me. I will change. However, you are not allowed to say that you don't want to be with me in the future. Not even once more."
Selina bit her lips tightly.
She took a deep breath. "Okay, I won't. Go to the company."
Matthew's lips curved into a smile. Instead of
leaving immediately, he placed his hand on Selina's belly. "Do you fantasize about our future?"
Selina's heart tightened.
Matthew continued, "I once fantasized that you will give birth to a girl who looks like you. She will be as smart and lovely as you. We will live happily and I will spoil our daughter, but my love for her will never surpass my love for you. Little girl, you will always be the one I love the most, forever and ever to come,"
Selina clenched her fists tightly.
She felt as if her heart was bleeding, and her whole body was so weak that she just wanted to collapse onto her knees
