She had better go as early as possible.
"I'll just get a cab," said Selina before she left the house.
Cecilia shook her head with a smile as she looked on at Selina leaving.
Selina seemed to not like Matthew much, and it made Cecelia slightly surprised.
Matthew was a man who excelled in every aspect. He was the epitof a perfect man. No one could bring themselves to dislike him.
Selina, however, did not really like him, which was unexpected to Cecilia.
Selina got into the cab.
She told the cab driver the address, and he instantly made way to the Perry family house.
On the way, Selina felt that it was stuffy in the car, so she opened the car window.
As they drove past a shop, a tasty aroma filled Selina's nostril.
Selina's eyes instantly lit up.
Selina thought to herself that whatever food that was must taste delicious. As a foodie, she couldn't let this pass her by without trying it out. "Sir, stop the car!" shouted Selina.
The driver immediately stopped the car.
"I'm going down to go buy something. Wait forhere." After saying that, Selina placed down the bag in her hand and went straight into the store.
It turned out that the delicious scent had cfrom a small roadside stall that was selling a highly trending chiffon cake.
Despite being from the upper class, Selina put on no airs and had no qualms about eating food from a roadside stall like this.
She immediately asked the owner to get her a kilogram's worth of chiffon cake. Search the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShortly after Selina had stepped out of the cab, another woman got into that cab.
She was young and charming, and was wearing a miniskirt.
Upon getting into the cab, the woman placed her bag down on the seat and said, "Las Vega Hotel, please." The driver, who had been entirely engrossed in his phone, only noticed the other woman's presence when she spoke to him.
He turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I already have a customer." The woman snorted. She picked up the bag she had placed in the backseat and left.
After she left, Selina cback, her hands holding onto the warm chiffon cake.
Selina ate the chiffon cake along the way and soon arrived outside the Perry family house. Upon arrival, she was stopped by a security guard.
"Who are you looking for?" the security guard enquired as he looked at Selina with caution.
Selina hadn't expected the security at the Perry family residence to be so strict. It was on par with the Whitlock family's.
No wonder Cecilia had said that Matthew was of noble status.
"I'm looking for Matthew. You can just tell him I'm Selina Whitlock. Hurry up and inform him, don't waste my time," said Selina.
The security guard gave Selina a once over and then went to report.
The security guard was slightly confused. Selina certainly looked the part of a noble, but seeing her with that plastic bag of chiffon cake somehow instantly demoted her status. Meanwhile, the security guard made a phone call to inform the butler, who then informed Matthew.
Matthew was in the study.
"Mr. Perry, a lady named Selina Whitlock wants to see you," the butler said respectfully.
Matthew's hand, which was flipping through the pages of a book, paused for a moment. A hint of interest flashed through his eyes.
"Oh, she's here?" The corner of Matthew's lips curled up playfully.
When the butler saw the expression on Matthew's face, he knew that this person was definitely someone Matthew wanted to see.
"I'll invite her in, Mr. Perry." the butler said.
"No need." Matthew's long legs had already stood up. "I'll personally invite her in." How could he not personally welcSelina's arrival? Matthew could already see Selina from afar.
She was holding a bag of chiffon cake as she ate it, which made her look endearingly adorable.
The smile on Matthew's lips beceven more cheeky.
Selina was indeed a strange girl.
She was born into an upper class family and was a noble lady from birth. However, her actions and speech were completely different from the other noble ladies.
She was a free spirit. She was not just any ordinary noble lady, but a living person who had her own unique qualities.
Matthew walked over.
Selina also saw Matthew.
She quickly stuffed the last slice of chiffon cake into her mouth.
She was afraid that Matthew would grab her food again! That was why she had to eat the chiffon cake in advance, otherwise, it would end up in his mouth.
"Selina." Matthew stared at Selina with a smile.
She didn't know if it was her own misconception, but she had always felt that the way Matthew looked at her was somewhat indecent.
Although it seemed inappropriate to use that to describe Matthew, who on the outside looked like an honorable man, that was what she truly felt, with God as her witness.
"Ahem." Selina cleared her throat. "Mr. Matthew." A hint of surprise danced in Matthew's eyes.
"Aren't you going to callold man?" he said, dragging out his words.
Selina would usually call him an old man, so Matthew was genuinely surprised when she addressed him like that.
Selina gave a hum in acknowledgement. "I'm here today on behalf of the Whitlock family, so I'll call you that for the sake of formality." Matthew was speechless.
He covered his mouth with the back of his hand and coughed. "Does eating a chiffon cake in front of someone's gate count as being formal?" What's more, she hadn't stopped eating when she saw him coming, but had instead urgently stuffed the last piece of cake into her mouth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelina was at a loss for words.
She couldn't help but glare at Matthew in anger.
How annoying he was! Why did he have to expose her like that?
"Either way, calling you Mr. Matthew Selina. "The already counts as being formal," said Whitlock family has a gift for you, so I cjust to deliver it to The you." Matthew's eyes widened, and his voice was suddenly laden with emotion. "The Whitlock family is really generous." Selina thought to herself, "What utter nonsense. How is giving a piece of calligraphy generous?" "They've even given you to me. How generous they are!" Matthew added as if he had seen through Selina. Selina did not know what to say.
She widened her eyes. "What are you talking about?!" What nonsense was he on about? What did he mean they had given her to him? "I said, they're so generous that they've even given you to me." Matthew stared into Selina's eyes.
Selina could not form a single sentence.
"Who's givento you? What nonsense are you talking about?!" "The fact that you're standing in front ofmeans that they've given you to me." "What a wild imagination you have!" "It doesn't matter if I have a wild imagination or not, the fact is that you're standing in front of me." Matthew peeked at Selina.
Selina was rendered speechless.
She was so angry that she reflexively reached out her hand to push Matthew.
Just as her hand was about to land on Matthew's chest, it was grabbed by him.
The warmth of his palm instantly enveloped Selina's.
"I'll stop joking around." Selina could hear Matthew's low voice beside her ear.
Selina stopped breathing for a moment.
She shook off Matthew's hand with all her strength, and her cheeks becinexplicably red.
She had always boasted about being thick-skinned, so she had not expected herself to flush red at being grasped by Matthew's hand.
"I'll be leaving now since I've already delivered the gift," Selina saidkinla muffled voice as if she was trying her best to hide her emotions. "Cin and have a seat." Matthew's tone was clear.
"No thanks."
"Your brother would always cm into my house. Since you've cin of the nof the Whitlock family, naturally should entertain you as a guest, right?" Matthew smiled and looked at Selina. X
