Selina was dumbfounded.
They were in public.
What he did had been shameless.
She couldn't help but glare at Matthew. "What are you doing!" "Eating ice cream." "You didn't even eat it when it was so near your mouth." Matthew's lips curved into a smile. "It's not tasty like that, I like it from the corner of your lips.' Selina said nothing.
She was speechless. "Is there ice cream on my lips?" "Don't you know that you're unable to eat an ice cream properly?" Matthew said.
Selina was embarrassed.
She believed in what Matthew said.
Every tshe ate, things would get messy.
"Then, do you wantto thank you for wiping my mouth?" She said.
He laughed. "Sure." Selina was taken aback.
She finished the rest of the ice cream quickly. In order to prevent Matthew from doing the sthing again, she took out a piece of tissue and quickly wiped her lips clean. "Where are we going now? Shall we go home?" asked Selina.
"Where do you want to go?" Matthew asked.
Selina thought for a while and said, "Why don't we have dinner outside and have a walk after that?" She thought that it would be good to have a change of scenery.
"Okay." Matthew agreed, "What would you like to eat?" "Hotpot," said Selina.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe'd just eaten sice cream and wanted to eat something hot.
Fifteen minutes later, Matthew and Selina entered the largest hotpot restaurant in the city.
The restaurant was already crowded when they arrived.
Selina and Matthew entered a private room.
When they were ordering, Matthew let her do it, so Selina ordered almost everything that was recommended by the chef.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
Then, they started to savor the food.
Selina had always liked spicy food, and Matthew got the nonspicy dishes.
She tried to make him eat her food, "Matthew, tripe only tastes good when it's cooked spicy." Matthew smiled and said, "Forget it, I am still used to eating mildly seasoned food." She did not go any further.
Something cinto her mind when she was eating. It was of the tthat she'd made Matthew eat spicy food and he'd been hospitalized.
She could not help but ask, "Do you still remember when you ate the grapefruit made by Erine? Why did you still eat it when you know that you can't take spicy food?" A look of helplessness flashed across Matthew's eyes. "Selina, how could I not eat it if you wantedto eat it?" "Are you that obedient?" "Yes. I'm a hen-pecked husband." Matthew's eyes were filled with love.
"Now I want you to eat it. Are you doing it?" "You won't leteat it," He said meaningfully.
"Why?" Selina's curiousity was piqued.
"You didn't care aboutlast time, but now you do. This is the reason." Matthew said.
Selina's heart skipped a beat.
After a while, she said, "You're right. I won't let you eat it anymore." Because she'd started to care for him.
"What's hanging on your neck?" Matthew's gaze suddenly fell on her neck.
"Oh, it was from Brine." Selina repeated what the woman had said, "I didn't want to accept it as it was an heirloom, but Brine insisted on it." Matthew smiled and said, "Just take it." Nodding, Selina said, "I also know that it's out of her good will." "However," Matthew said while placing food on her plate. "When can you make Brine happy?" He looked at her with a faint smile.
Selina was speechless.
She kicked Matthew lightly under the table, and said in a shy tone, "How would I know?" "Well, it seems that I'm not working hard enough." She felt like she was going to faint.
"Goodness! How is he not working hard enough? It was already more than enough." She thought.
"Then you'd better stop trying, or I'll be crushed by you." Selina begged for mercy.
"Really?" asked Matthew.
"Yes." "But Selina, I think you still have a lot of potentials that I haven't dug out yet." "You, Matthew!" Matthew placed another piece of food on her plate. "Eat more. We'll continue tonight." She was dumbfounded once again.
The tpassed by as she and Matthew made fun of each other and bickered with each other during dinner. Unconsciously, they had eaten for nearly two hours.
It made sense as they were chatting while eating.
The food from the restaurant was delicious. Selina made the decision to order another plate of her favorite dish. At the stime, she also asked the waitress to refill water for her. As a result, an accident happened when the waiter was pouring the hot water.
The waiter was a very young man, and seemed to be under 18 years old. He was thin and weak, and it was very difficult for him to carry a large pot.
When he was pouring the water, he accidentally spilled it.
"Clang" With a bang, the pot fell to the ground instantly, and the water splashed over Matthew's legs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthew's suit leg was soaked immediately.
It was obvious that Matthew had been burned badly, as he frowned.
"What's wrong with you?" Selina couldn't help shouting.
The waiter was completely scared out of his wits.
Selina rushed before Matthew.
"Are you alright?" she asked anxiously.
"I'm fine," Matthew said.
She didn't believe it. She rolled up Matthew's suit leg and found that his leg was red and swollen.
It had been burned badly.
Looking at it, Selina's heart ached and she flared up immediately.
"What's going on with you? How could you make such a mess just by simply pouring water? Call the manager over! Why did they hire someone like you?" Selina wasn't that harsh usually, but when she saw that Matthew's leg, her heart ached.
The waiter's face turned pale.
He stuttered out of panic, "I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I, I'll pay for Don't the medical bills. Don't tell en mesto the manager, okay? He will fire me. I'll pay for it. I'll pay for it." "Can you afford it?" Selina said angrily.
Matthew had been scalded. The waiter couldn't afford it, even if he sold himself.
The waiter knelt down in front of her and said, "It's all my fault. My mother
is ill and needs a lot of money. Please don't tell the manager, If I lose my ager if ! job, I won't be able to afford my mother's medical expenses." Selina was stunned by the waiter's unexpected kneeling.
She'd only lost her temper for the sake of Matthew, but she didn't m expect the boy to kneel in front of her.
