Matthew's lips curled up slightly before walking over.
"Natalie." He first greeted Natalie, and then his gaze fell onto Selina's face. "Selina."
Natalie was the first to look at Matthew. "Matthew, it's you."
She was a little surprised to see him.
Natalie hadn't seen many of Tobias' friends, but she was particularly impressed by Matthew, and she liked him quite a lot.
"Why are you here?" Matthew asked.
His gaze vaguely fell on Selina.
"Why not? Is it your place?" Selina snapped at him aggressively.
She was already in a very bad mood that day. Not to mention, she had been spoiled since young in a family like hers. Thus, she never had any restraint when she spoke.
Matthew was not angry at all.
His tone carried a hint of amusement. "Yes, this is my place. I own this mall."
Selina was speechless.
She was a little angry. "Well, even if it is yours, the shopping mall also welcomes customers, right? Can't Natalie and I come here?"
Natalie was a little embarrassed when she heard that.
Matthew had only come to greet them, but Selina ended up replying to him so rudely.
Natalie was afraid that Matthew would be displeased. Fortunately, Matthew was not offended in the slightest.
He looked at Selina with a smile. "You're right, that's why the mall welcomes you. If you need me to, I'll ask my staff to hang a banner at the entrance of the mall that says 'Welcome, Miss Selina Whitlock'."
Selina was speechless again.
She then gritted her teeth. "I don't want to talk anymore. I can't win against you. You're older than me, so of course you're better with your words."
Matthew had nothing to say.
Natalie was the same.
Natalie was at a bit of a loss for words. Matthew wasn't even that old, he still looked handsome and gentle.
"I should be the one who can't win against you."
Matthew was somewhat speechless.
While Selina was not paying attention, Natalie whispered in Matthew's ear, "Matthew, Selina's not in a good mood today. Don't mind her."
Matthew's gaze wavered a little.
"Why don't we go and have a drink?" he suddenly suggested.
Hearing that, Selina instantly cheered up. "Sure, drinking is the best. Let's go."
At that moment, what she wanted most was to drink. Only by drinking could she not think about anything.
Honestly, Natalie wasn't really that keen. After all, it was already time to go home, but since Selina wanted to go, it was best if she followed.
After all, Selina must be very upset. Perhaps it would be good for her to get drunk for once.
"Then I'll go with you," Natalie said to Selina.
However, Selina refused immediately.
"We're going to drink," Selina said.
"I know, I'll drink with you guys too," Natalie replied.
She had a high alcohol tolerance anyway, so she didn't mind accompanying Selina for a drink.
She was experienced too. She knew that people wanted to drink when they were sad, and they would want someone to accompany them too.
"Natalie, you can't drink." Selina had a serious expression.
"Why not?"
"You have to prepare for pregnancy."
Natalie did not know what to say.
She felt a little awkward. "I... I don't have plans for that yet."
After she and Tobias had gotten married, neither of them had any plans to get children. They decided to leave it all to fate, and both wouldn't mind if they had a child or not. Either way, she was already satisfied with Hayden alone.
Selina shook her head. "Natalie, having a daughter and a son is the best possible outcome, so you have to prepare from now on. You can't drink a drop of alcohol from now on."
