As Selina looked at how the contemptuous comments they threw at her earlier had turned into flattery now, she found it extremely ironic.
She didn't even want to smile, "I'm tired. I'm sorry that I can't talk more now. I'll make a move first."
A real socialite didn't need to deal with useless social interactions.
It's because she had this background to fall back on.
When Selina walked out of the party, Matthew followed behind her.
Selina glanced at Matthew and asked, "Why don't you stay for the party?"
Matthew's tone was low, "My wife is leaving the party. Do you think that I still need to stay?"
Selina smiled.
When he was about to get in the car, a man suddenly ran over. It was Matheo.
He stood in front of Matthew and Selina.
"Matthew, I'm sorry." Matheo's tone, which had always been cynical, was a little apologetic.
Matthew's eyes darkened, "Matheo, this has nothing to do with you."
Matheo sighed.
Although it had nothing to do with him, after all, Rainee was his sister, wasn't she?
His gaze fell upon Selina's face again, "Miss Whitlock, I'm really sorry that you had to suffer that humiliation for no reason at the party. My apologies."
Even though Rainee was the one who was humiliated in the end, she was still the one who had instigated the entire episode.
Selina was always a person who dealt with the facts instead of the person, so she would never blame someone who was innocent just because they were related to another person.
"You don't have to apologize. It was your sister who was impolite, not you. You don't have to apologize on her behalf. You are both your own person."
Matheo felt a little awkward.
"Miss Whitlock, I hope that you don't take this matter to heart." After a moment, Matheo said.
Selina smiled and got into the car.
Matthew looked at Matheo and said, "Matheo, this has nothing to do with you. You don't have to think too much about it."
Matheo smiled bitterly at Matthew and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
The car went in the opposite direction of the Yeager family mansion.
When they drove to an intersection, there happened to be a traffic light.
Matthew stopped the car.
All of a sudden, Selina said, "You gave me the microphone just now. Does it mean that you agreed with what I did?"
She knew that Matthew was smart enough to know what she was going to do, but he hadn't even tried to persuade her and had just handed her the microphone.
Selina could only think that Matthew had tacitly approved of her actions.
Matthew was just about to say something but Selina interrupted again, "Matheo is your friend though."
She stared at Matthew, her lips curled into a faint smile.
She tried to spot an awkward expression on Matthew's face, for having valued his wife more than his friend.
Unfortunately, there wasn't any.
Matthew's handsome face was as honest as ever.
This man was always like this, like an honest gentleman.
"Rainee is an adult." Matthew spoke, "Since she is an adult, she should be responsible for what she did, not to mention that she was the one who started it."
Moreover, he had already said what he needed to say to Rainee the day before.
Selina smirked, "It seems that you are not that rigid after all."
Matthew did not answer that.
"Do you regret taking me to the party?" Selina followed up with another question.
"No, I don't."
At this point, Matthew suddenly held Selina's chin gently, "Selina, now everyone knows that you are my wife."
The man's tone was soft but deep.
Every time Matthew held Selina's chin like this, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
The feeling of being forced to look at him from such a close distance made her feel very uneasy.
She felt that he would be able to look right into her heart, and see whatever she was thinking.
"Did you want everyone to know that? Were you afraid that someone was going to snatch me away from you?" Selina sneered.
She pushed away Matthew's hand which was still holding her chin.
Matthew did not stop her from doing that, but he fixed his deep gaze on Selina's face, "Yes."
