"Yes, I would tolerate it." A hint of coldness flashed across Matthew's eyes. "If I didn't see those hickeys on your neck."
He raised Selina's chin and said coldly, "Tell me, why are there hickeys on your neck?"
Selina's expression changed.
They were the marks left by Dylan.
He stared at her coldly. "Tell me, Selina. What's going on?" demanded Matthew.
Selina suddenly had a thought.
She could sense his displeasure.
Matthew rarely got angry. In the past, no matter what she did, he had never gotten angry.
Except for this very moment.
Was it because he suspected that she was having an affair?
Was this his weakness?
Selina had this impulse to provoke him.
She knew how to provoke Matthew.
She could tell Matthew that she had kissed another man in a car when he was not around.
There was a pain in her eyes.
Although it was true that such a thing had happened, she had been forced by Dylan.
Even so, she didn't think that it was necessary to tell Matthew about it.
She looked gloomy.
"Where have you been, Selina?" Matthew asked again.
His gaze was fixed on her. He didn't look away, not even for a second.
Selina frowned.
She didn't like his tone.
"Are you questioning me?" Selina asked.
She couldn't resist mocking him. "You can't pretend to be a good person anymore, can you? Now you're finally showing your true colors."
Matthew's tone became lower as he looked at her sternly. "I've said that as long as you don't cross the bottom line, I would tolerate you. If you cross the line..."
Matthew trailed off, and his hand tightened. "Was it Dylan?"
"No!" Selina blurted.
She wasn't sure why she wanted to deny it. She didn't want to accept what had happened earlier.
It was a painful memory. She didn't want to admit it.
Her immediate denial made Matthew pause.
Could it be that he was wrong?
Matthew stared at Selina for a long time.
For a moment, the two of them were silent.
Matthew didn't say anything. Neither did Selina.
She bit her lip so hard that it turned pale.
After a long time, Matthew finally said, "Since you've married me, you have no choice but to break up with Dylan. It must end!" His tone was no longer as fierce as before, but he spoke with authority.
Matthew didn't like forcing people. Even more so, he disliked forcing people's feelings.
If there had been someone else on her mind and in her heart before they were married, he would respect her and not force her feelings. It wouldn't matter how much he liked Selina.
He didn't like forcing others.
But now things were different. Selina was his wife.
He would not allow his wife to be in a relationship with another man.
"Selina, you will never have a chance with Dylan again." Matthew looked at Selina coldly.
