"You, I thought you wouldn't come to visit me," smiled Ludwik affectionately.
He strode over to Dylan's side and examined him from head to toe. "You're growing more and more like a fine man everyday. You're almost more handsome than your uncle."
After saying that, Ludwik cast his gaze on Selina. "This is?"
"Grandpa, this is my girlfriend." Dylan introduced to him.
Ludwik laughed. "You brat, when did you get a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me?"
He paused and said, "Your girlfriend doesn't look bad, she's rather beautiful."
Selina felt extremely awkward.
Although the Perry family and the Whitlock family knew each other, Selina had an undisciplined nature, and she didn't pay much attention to the interactions between noble families. Therefore, she had never seen Mr. Perry before. Presumably, Mr. Perry might also not know who Selina was.
She was a super enthusiastic person. If it was her usual self, she would definitely talk to him excitedly the moment she saw that he was a friendly old man too. However, when she thought that the man in front of her was Matthew's father, she felt uncomfortable and did not dare to look him in the eyes.
"Dylan, your girlfriend is pretty shy," Ludwik stated in a clear voice, chuckling.
Although he was an elder, he did not put a distance between them. It was as if he was chatting with someone of the same age as him.
At Ludwig mentioning it, Dylan felt Selina's behavior today was indeed strange.
Shy...
He had known her for so many years, but he had never felt that Selina could get shy.
Meanwhile, Ludwik shouted again, "Matthew, you brat, come out. Look, your nephew is back with a girlfriend. When are you going to bring a girlfriend back for me when you're already at that age?"
Ludwik's words had just left his mouth, and Selina felt that the sky was about to collapse.
It turned out to be true. It turned out that Matthew was really Dylan's uncle!
Steady and powerful footsteps sounded, then accompanied by someone laughing, "Grandpa, isn't it a bit inappropriate to ridicule your son in front of your grandson?"
Accompanied by his voice, Matthew walked over.
"Uncle," Dylan greeted.
Matthew nodded.
"Look, even Dylan brought his girlfriend back. As for you, when will you bring your girlfriend back to me?" Ludwik looked at Matthew expectantly.
Matthew smiled and swept his gaze across the girl beside Dylan, immediately taken aback.
A moment ago, the girl had been keeping her head down. Matthew thought that the girl was just shy because this was her first meeting with them.
Now when he looked carefully, he found that it was Selina.
"Matthew, Dylan's girlfriend is pretty, right? However, she's a little shy," chuckled Ludwik.
Matthew pursed his lips and did not speak. His eyes were pulsing with raging emotions.
On the other side, Dylan reminded her in a low voice, "Selina, this is my uncle."
Selina lowered her head even lower.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to knock herself out.
In the end, Matthew opened his mouth, his tone indifferent. He said, "Grandpa, Dylan, I have some work to deal with first. Have a nice chat with each other."
As the man left, Selina breathed a sigh of relief.
In the meantime, Dylan and Ludwik were sitting on the sofa talking, and Selina had been sitting by their side.
Ludwik originally thought that Selina was shy. He would also shift their conversations to Selina from time to time. However, her mind seemed to be preoccupied.
In the end, even Dylan felt that it was too strange.
He tugged Selina's hands, "Selina, my grandpa is asking you something."
It was only then that Selina raised her head in a panic.
She said in a complicated tone, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I feel a little uncomfortable today. You guys have a nice chat with each other, and I will walk around to clear my head."
"Go and take a walk in the garden. The air in the garden is fresh." Ludwik immediately said.
He then ordered the servants to bring Selina to the garden.
Selina originally wanted to leave directly, but after she heard Ludwik's words, she had no choice but to follow the servant to the garden.
When they arrived at the garden, Selina walked alone, her mind in a mess.
As she was walking, she suddenly stopped, a tall figure appearing in front of her.
Selina and Matthew almost bumped into each other, and both of them halted.
Selina was about to wail in anguish.
How could she be so unlucky? What on earth was with this coincidental meeting?"
First, Matthew inexplicably turned into Dylan's uncle. Then, she came out of the garden to walk around and even bumped into Matthew, the man she wanted to avoid the most.
Selina felt she was about to cry.
It would be awkward if she spoke.
It would also be inappropriate if she didn't.
