It turned out that Stryker's girlfriend had seen him helping a female colleague that was moving to a new house. They were only friends, but his girlfriend accused him of cheating.
His girlfriend not only threw a tantrum and yelled that she wanted to break up with him, but also beat him up. "Mr. Perry, my girlfriend is really unreasonable nowadays. She can't even stand to seebeing slightly closer with another woman, despite the fact that there's nothing between us. She almost lost her mind over it." Matthew was helpless upon hearing this.
"She probably just gets jealous easily. You don't have to think too much," Matthew replied.
Stryker sighed. "You're right, she gets jealous easily, way too easily." After Stryker left, Matthew started going through the documents on his desk. He was just flipping through the first document when he suddenly froze halfway.
Stryker's girlfriend had gotten jealous easily...
However, what was the reason? Matthew's breathing quickened.
Selina's reaction that morning... Could it be that it was just because of Joycelyn? Later that evening, Matthew returned to the villa slightly earlier than usual.
Peter was in the garden looking after the vegetables, which were growing well, whereas Selina was sitting on one side with a lifeless expression.
Karma. This was indeed her karma! Selina seriously just wanted to cry.
This garden was a result of her trying to make things difficult for Matthew, yet it ended up making things difficult for her instead.
Peter was completely captivated by this vegetable garden. He would spend every single day in it, and would even drag Selina along.
Peter had been in the garden when Selina woke up from her nap. He wouldn't stop showing off the well grown vegetables to Selina. She was already drowsy from hearing his praise. Worst of all, she couldn't leave the place. She could only stay there and listen to Peter.
Thus, upon spotting Matthew, Selina was delighted.
Her eyes suddenly lit up as she said, "Grandpa, Matthew is back!" It wasn't until then that Peter's attention was finally diverted from the vegetables.
"Matthew, you're back." Peter glanced over at Matthew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn summer, daytwas much longer than the nights. It was still sunset when Matthew returned home.
Matthew was walking in the sunset, which made him look even more attractive.
"Matthew, take a look at how well the vegetables are growing, especially this radish. It looks tasty already." Peter started going on about the vegetables again. Selina sighed helplessly.
She thought that Matthew's arrival could stop Peter, yet he was still the same.
"Grandpa, if you don't mind, I can prepare our dinner tonight with these vegetables." Matthew smiled. "I'll make your dinner myself." Peter's eyes lit up.
"Really?" "Of course," Matthew affirmed.
Peter then pointed at a radish in the vegetable garden and said, "I want this one, then." Matthew bent down and began to harvest the radish.
Selina's gaze fell on Matthew. The way he bent down was elegant and beautiful. The warm sunshine covered his body and delicate hair. It felt like the most beautiful drawing that Selina had ever seen. Selina could feel her heart speed up.
After a while, Matthew straightened up and looked at Selina. With a smile, he said, "Selina, would you like to helpin the kitchen?" Selina was dazzled by Matthew's smile.
After a pause, she cback to her senses.
"Of course I would," Selina replied.
The two of them then went to the kitchen.
Matthew was chopping the vegetables whereas Selina was washing the vegetables.
The kitchen was quiet. Only the chopping and washing of vegetables could be heard. Selina went into a momentary daze.
They looked like an ordinary couple, busy preparing a meal in their kitchen.
Selina halted for a second and let the water flow across her hand.
"Selina?" She heard Matthew calling her.
Only then did Selina regain her senses.
She continued with the washing and said, "I'll be done soon." "No hurry, Selina. By the way, my assistant was beaten up today." Selina startled.
She asked in disbelief, "How could someone have beaten your assistant up?" With how powerful and influential Matthew was, who would dare to hit Stryker? Matthew smiled. "He was beaten up by his girlfriend." Selina was even more surprised.
She asked, "Why did his girlfriend hit him?" Matthew briefed her on what had happened.
"Are all women like this? Are they just unable to bear seeing their man with another woman?" Matthew asked as he stared at Selina.
"Of course." Selina handed the washed vegetables to Matthew. "That's totally normal." "Just like how mad you were last night?" Matthew asked.
Selina was startled.
After a moment, she quickly looked away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Selina, look at me." "I don't want to." Matthew turned Selina's body around and forced her to face him.
Selina lowered her head.
Matthew's fingers were grazing Selina's hand as his deep gaze fell on her face. It was as if he was trying to read her mind.
Selina panicked.
"Let go of me, I still have vegetables to wash," Selina said.
"You already washed all of them," Matthew pointed out.
"I have something else to do," Selina insisted.
"There's nothing else you need to do." Selina was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
Perhaps Matthew was just making up an excuse by asking her to help him in the kitchen. Perhaps he was already aware of her feelings.
Her face suddenly turned completely red.
"Selina, why were you so mad last night?" Matthew stared into her eyes as he asked.
Selina struggled one last time. "It's just because I hate Joycelyn!" m Sal*h the FindNovert website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Matthew's gaze becdeeper, with countless emotions surging in it. It seemed that he was trying to analyze whether her words were true or false.
After a while, Matthew suddenly leaned closer.
His lips fell on her earlobe.
Selina froze.
Matthew's lips moved slowly.
tos Selina felt electricity surging through her body. Her knees turned weakn When she was about to slide to the ground, Matthew quickly grabbed hold of her. He fixed his gaze on her as he said, "Selina, you're falling, you're falling for me." Selina was flustered. "I don't know what you mean." Matthew did not continue.
He remained silent for a moment.
He muttered, "You don't know, and I don't know either." Selina seemed to be falling for him, but he wasn't certain.
He had done so much for her previously, and all Selina had wanted was to stay away from him. How was it possible that she was falling for him now? Not to mention, there was Dylan too. Everyone around Matthew told him that Dylan and Selina were inseparable.
If their relationship was so tight-knit, then how could it be that Selina was falling for him? Nonetheless... If she hadn't developed feelings for him, then why would she react that way when she misunderstood that Matthew was dating Joycelyn? Why was Selina reacting like this when he kissed her earlobe? Matthew was really confused.
