Matthew immediately denied it. "You're too kind, Haseph. Joycelyn is like a sister to me, just like how she treatsas her elder brother." Disappointment flashed across Joycelyn's eyes.
Indeed, Matthew had always treated her as a sister, nothing more.
However, never once had she treated him as her brother.
Haseph let out a dry laugh and didn't say anything.
"Joycelyn is an amazing woman, she will find the right person eventually," Matthew added on.
Haseph changed the topic and asked, "Matthew, is your father doing fine?" Matthew's voice was warm and gentle as he said, "Yes, he is. In fact, he keeps talking about the both of you. It seems like you both will have to visit him sometime." "Definitely," Haseph replied.
After a long chat, Matthew then sent the Welmert family back home.
After dropping them off, Matthew was about to start his car engine and leave when Joycelyn cto him once again.
He rolled down the window and asked, "Joycelyn, is there anything else?" Joycelyn had a gentle smile on her face. "Matthew, I just want to thank you for what you did today." "It's no big deal. You don't have to be this formal with me," Matthew stated.
Joycelyn's eyes seemed to dim a little as she said, "My parents have been rushingto get married. If it wasn't because that guy was too horrible, I wouldn't have asked you for this favor. I know I should settle down already." "You'll find the right person," Matthew reassured.
Joycelyn responded half-jokingly, "Maybe you'll have to introduceto someone then." Matthew smiled. "I will keep an eye out for you if I have the time." "Well, I'll head back then. Goodbye, Matthew," Joycelyn said.
After Joycelyn left, Matthew was about to leave when his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone.
It was all about work. After hanging up, he inadvertently glanced at the phone's screen and noticed a text message that he hadn't read.
"Matthew, you b*stard." Matthew frowned slightly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was from Selina. What was this about again? She was still fine that morning. Why would she send something like this to him? Matthew dialed Selina's number.
There was no answer.
Subconsciously, he called Natalie, just to see whether she knew anything about this. However, he hung up the phone before Natalie could even answer. Natalie was pregnant, so he didn't want to disturb her.
Matthew paused for a while, and he decided to call his assistant to have him check on Selina's location.
Fortunately, after a short while, the assistant sent him Selina's location. She was in a coffee shop.
Matthew immediately drove there.
Along the way, he was wondering what in the world had he done to trigger Selina again, to the extent that she had sent such a text message to him. However, he still couldn't think of anything.
There were a lot of cups of coffee on Selina's table.
She had drunk six huge mugs on her own.
Lothar was a bad fortune teller after all.
He had told her that Matthew still had feelings for her, but it turned out to be a lie! If Matthew had feelings for her, then why was he Joycelyn's boyfriend?! Selina still couldn't get over this.
However, there was one thing Selina could thank Lothar for, which was this trick that he taught her.
Whenever she was angry or sad, she could just eat or drink her sorrows away. Like that, she would no longer have tto think about the troubles she was facing.
Taking this moment as an example, she drank so much coffee that her stomach was bloated, and her body was aching so hard that she didn't even have tto bother about those troubles in her heart.
Selina wanted to take a walk to relieve her aches, but as soon as she stood up, she froze in place.
She saw Matthew.
Matthew was walking towards her.
The air between them was frozen.
Matthew's gaze fell on Selina's stomach.
He didn't want to look at it, but it was bulging too much to not notice.
Matthew's gaze then swept across on the empty coffee mugs on her table.
He frowned as he asked, "Why did you drink so much? Look at your stomach." "Aren't you the same?!" Selina blurted out.
Matthew was puzzled.
He didn't understand what she meant.
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone as she said, "Your stomach is full of lies!" Matthew was even more confused.
However, Selina had always been Matthew had already y gotten is confusing people with her swontent used to this side of hers. belongs to FindSearch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
His tone was a little stern as he replied, "Selina, you can't drink like this anymore." If she continued to be like this, she would only upset her stomach.
"It's none of your business!" Selina yelled in a rebellious manner.
"It is indeed my business," Matthew refuted in a clear voice.
"Who do you think you are to meddle in my business?" Selina was upset.
Matthew held his breath for a moment.
After a while, he murmured, "You're living in the Perry family house, and that's why I'm responsible for you." Selina sneered. "You'd actually be delighted to seein trouble someday, wouldn't you?" Matthew's frown deepened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn't want to argue with Selina,
because she would always cout with ways to twist his words. Hen wouldn't get anything from debating with her. Matthew changed the subject, "Selina, about your text message, why did you send that to me?" Selina snorted. "It means what it says, Matthew, can't you read?" Matthew was speechless.
His deep gaze fell on Selina as he uttered, "Tell me, how did I upset you again?" "Your presence upsets me! You're old and ugly, and it makesuncomfortable!" Selina whined. Matthew was already immune to those words.
He said calmly, "You're always saying the sthings, can you be a little more creative next time?" Selina was at a loss.
Annoyed and mad, she cursed, "Matthew, you liar!" "Why am I a liar?" Matthew asked.
"You just are! You're the biggest liar ever!" Selina yelled and then ran out.
She didn't want to see Matthew. His presence alone made her extremely uncomfortable.
Just as she ran out from the shop, she fell to the ground.
It seemed like she had indeed drank
too much coffee. Her belly was bulging so much that it was difficult for her to run, Shelforced herself to herto do so, and ended up crashing on the floor like this.
The fall was so sudden and Selina's body ached even more, but it wasn't as painful as what her heart was going through. She didn't get up.
She didn't want to get up, and she didn't have the strength to get up either.
A pair of hands with well-defined joints suddenly appeared in front of her. "Get up.' Selina looked away.
She didn't want to get up, especially not with his help.
Matthew sighed as he stared at Selina, who was still lying on the ground.
Looking at Selina's situation, he was totally speechless.
He didn't know what to do with her.
Then, Matthew directly lifted Selina up in his arms.
