Selina felt like she had totally misjudged Dylan.
She had always assumed Dylan was a solitary, prideful person, unwilling to accept others' help. She had always admired this side of Dylan.
Only now did she realize that she had been so wrong about it.
What Dylan wanted was not just some insignificant help. His greed and the tricks he had in his pockets were on another level.
Dylan was in a daze.
After a while, there was a flash of guilt in his eyes.
During this period of time, he really had neglected Selina as he was occupied with work. He had barely spent any time with Selina.
Dylan said with a sense of guilt, "Selina, I'm sorry..."
Selina was suddenly enraged.
Sorry? She remembered that Matthew had also apologized to her in the morning. They both indeed came from the same family, they were both so despicable.
Dylan had been telling her that he loved her, but for money and fame he had been willing to let
Matthew have sex with her.
As for Matthew, she was even more disgusted by him.
He had given her his blessing and agreed to an amicable break up, but then he had taken advantage of her.
"Smack!"
Selina raised her hand and slapped Dylan.
It was a hard slap. Dylan's face immediately swelled with the mark of Selina's palm.
A surprised looked flashed across Dylan's eyes. After a short while, he furrowed his brows.
Even if he really neglected Selina lately, Selina could rant and she could even blame him. However, she slapped him...
"Selina, what on earth are you doing!" Dylan was infuriated. "Can't you be gentler to me? Are you so used to hitting me now that you think you can hit me whenever you feel like it?"
Selina sneered. "Are you finally showing your true colors now? Are you not going to pretend to be nice to me anymore?"
Dylan's frown deepened.
How could he be gentle to Selina when she decidedly slapped him without a reason?
"Selina, I'm busy. I still have work. I'm leaving now!" Dylan turned around and left Selina alone.
Selina stared at Dylan's back as he walked away, the feeling of desolation slowly growing in her.
After Dylan was out of her sight, she suddenly burst into tears.
It turned out that the love that she had been longing for and holding on to for so many years, the first love she had been so sure about was all in vain.
Selina went back to the Whitlock family's villa.
Cecilia flew to the United States, as she had something to tend to over there for a while.
Since Tobias was in the office, Natalie was the only one at home.
However, Natalie wasn't feeling bored at home. Even though she had not given birth yet, they had already hired a few caretakers to stay home with her and to take care of her.
When Selina came home, Natalie was knitting a sweater for her soon to be born child.
She had picked a neutral color, so that the sweater would be suitable for her child regardless if it turned out to be a boy, or a girl.
As she saw Selina, she stopped weaving and put the sweater down.
Selina had not been home for three days. Natalie had tried calling her, but couldn't get through to her.
She remembered that Selina's face was full of joy when she left to meet Dylan. She immediately realized what actually happened.
Since she had not come home for three days, it was likely that Selina and Dylan had already done it.
After all, Natalie was not exactly an uptight person. She had already done it with Tobias the first time they met.
Moreover, knowing that Selina was determined to be with Dylan, Natalia thought she should just stop calling Selina.
After all, Selina was an adult. She should bear the responsibility for her own doing.
