The door was left ajar. Matthew pushed the door open.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Cecilia, whose face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and Selina, who was standing there stiffly.
Selina looked stubborn. She pursed her lips tightly together with tears welling up within her eyes.
"Madam Lawson," Matthew called out.
Cecilia looked at Matthew and nodded her head stiffly.
"Matthew, you're here," Cecilia said, sounding exhausted.
"Madam Lawson, please have a seat first. It would be tiring for you to stand for so long," Matthew said.
Then, he looked at Selina and said, "Selina, you should sit down too." Cecilia nodded and sat on the sofa.
They needed to sit down and talk peacefully.
However, Selina did not want to sit down at all.
She stood there wilfully.
Seeing this, Cecilia sighed.
She saw Matthew shaking his head, signaling her to not reprimand Selina when she was about to do so.
Cecilia sighed and did not say anything.

"You're right, I want to be a statue." Matthew felt helpless.
He said in a softer voice, "Please sit down and talk to your mom. Don't be so willful." Selina was annoyed when she heard Matthew describing her as a willful person.

Matthew hoisted her into his arms out of a sudden.
Selina wanted to scold Matthew. However, she did not do so because Cecilia was there.
Matthew carried Selina to the sofa and made her sit on the sofa. After that, he sat on the other side of the sofa.

The more Selina thought about it, the angrier she became.
The more she thought about it, the more hurt she felt.
She thought, "Am I really that horrid?" She clenched her fists tightly and could no longer suppress her emotions.
"Mom, since you think that Matthew is such a good man, you might as well marry him yourself!" Selina shouted at Cecilia.
She regretted it as soon as she finished her sentence.

As expected, Cecilia's face turned even paler.
She was consumed by anger. She said, "Selina! Are you trying to killwith anger?" Selina pursed her lips and did not say a word.

Selina was a spoilt kid indeed! "Selina, it's dangerous for an elder when they get agitated. It's best that you don't anger your mother too much," Matthew whispered to Selina. Selina pursed her lips even more tightly.
She knew that it would be dangerous for an elder to get agitated.
She didn't want to piss Cecilia off either.
She had always been respecting and loving to her mother.
However, in this moment, she couldn't control her temper at all.
Cecilia took a sip of water and calmed herself down. She looked at Selina and said, "Selina, tell me, what are you going to do now?" "I want a divorce," Selina said in a softer tone. It did not sound as harsh as before.
"What is so bad about Matthew that you want to divorce him?" Cecilia questioned.
"He's fine in every aspect. But, I'd still like to get a divorce." "Where else could you possibly find such an outstanding man after your divorce?" Cecilia questioned harshly.
The anger she had previously suppressed due to guilt had resurfaced.

"Matthew, what do you think?" Cecilia suddenly turned to look at Matthew and asked.
Matthew was silent for a moment. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Madam Lawson, I'll respect Selina's decision." Numerous thoughts flooded through Cecilia's mind. After a short while, she slammed her fist on the table and said, "No way. I'll definitely not agree to this." She couldn't stand aside and let Selina make trouble anymore.
