There was no shadow of Matthew at all but a mirror instead.
It was a large and tall mirror, the size of a person.
That night, when Tobias and Natalie were ready to go to bed, a servant suddenly knocked on the door.
Natalie opened the door.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
The servant lowered her voice. "Miss Godfrey, Miss Bowie is here. She insisted on seeing you." Natalie's heart jolted.
"You can leave now. I'll be right there." She looked at Tobias. "Tobias, Bowie is here. I'll go down first." "Alright." Tobias didn't think too much about it.
Natalie hurried downstairs.
"This can't be good," Natalie thought to herself. After all, why would Bowie chere so late into the night if she brought good news? Sure enough, Bowie started to cry and complain to Natalie the moment she saw her.
"Natalie, you have to help me. Selina said that she would bring Matthew totonight, but she fooled me. She gavea mirror. What do you think she meant by that? I don't want a mirror. I want Matthew!" Natalie was confused.
After stand more wailing from Bowie, Natalie finally understood what was going on.
She was angry and amused at the stime.
She was mad that Bowie spoke such despicable things to Selina.
She was amused because even after so many years, Selina was still the scheeky girl she knew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe controlled her amusement and said, "Bowie, don't you know what it means for Selina to give you a mirror?" "How would I know?" Bowie raised her voice. "She's just jealous of me. She's jealous offor being prettier, younger, and more beautiful than her." Natalie snorted. "She gave you a mirror, meaning that she wants you to take a good look at yourself!" Bowie was speechless.
"What do you mean?" Bowie said, "I'm already pretty enough. Why do I need to look in the mirror?" Natalie felt a deep sense of helplessness.
She waved her hand, "Bowie, head back first. You will see that it's futile even if you talk to Selina, so it's better if you give up this idea," Bowie was not willing to back down so easily.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "Natalie, why are you ignoring me? I cto you late at night as I want you to stand up for me. Selina made fun of me, but you won't help me. Are you still my sister or not?" "How did she make fun of you?" Natalie asked.
"She said that she would send Matthew to my htonight, but he didn't cat all. What she sent was a mirror!" Bowie said in a righteous tone.
Natalie was exasperated. "Did she say that she would send Matthew over? Bowie, are you sure Selina said that?" A guilty look flashed across Bowie's face.
Selina didn't say so. It was all her own assumption and understanding.
Bowie puffed out her chest. "She didn't say that, but that's what she meant!" Natalie's voice turned a little colder. "Well, Bowie, it's the middle of the night. I am not in the mood to listen to your nonsense. I want to sleep, and you'd better head back too." After saying that, Natalie ignored Bowie and turned away.
Bowie coldly stared at Natalie's leaving silhouette with hatred in her eyes! Natalie had left just like that! Selina teased her, but Natalie didn't help her and just left! Natalie obviously did not take her seriously! The next day soon arrived.
Selina went to a nearby restaurant at noon.
Brennan was already waiting for her there.
The moment he saw Selina, his face turned red.
"Se...Selina." Brennan lowered his head unconsciously.
Selina sat down and said, "Sit down, Brennan," Brennan handed the menu to Selina, "What, what would you like to eat?" Selina simply ordered sdishes.
While waiting, Brennan seemed like he wanted to say something, but it felt as if he was having a hard tvoicing it out.
Selina knew that Brennan was shy.
She took the initiative to talk to Brennan. Brennan, I think you have changed a lot. You are more confident than before. You should be the active type in the company, right?" Brennan's confidence was greatly boosted when he received Selina's affirmation. He then began to open up to Selina.
Selina did not order any spicy dishes for the meal.
Brennan noticed this and asked, "Don't you like spicy food?" A trace of surprise flashed through Selina's eyes.
She had only eaten once with Brennan, and Brennan remembered that she liked spicy food! She immediately thought of Brennan's little concern and thoughts for her in the past.
She let out a bitter laugh.
"I can't eat spicy things now. I am pregnant. For the sake of the baby, I'd better not have any," Selina explained. Brennan's hand that was reaching for a dish hung mid-air.
"You're...pregnant." His voice suddenly sounded a little empty, as if it cfrom outer space.
Selina nodded. "Yes, it's been more than a month." Brennan immediately fell into a daze.
After the meal, Selina said that she would head back to rest.
Brennan's gaze fell onto Selina's belly, and he was still a little shocked by the news. "Well, take good care of yourself." Brennan still hadn't cto his senses when he returned to the company.
Although he tried to control himself not to have any improper thoughts about Selina, Brennan's thoughts were still blurred after knowing about her pregnancy.
Not long after, Caroline called.
"How is it, Brennan? How was lunch with Selina?" Caroline deliberately pretended to be concerned.
Brennan didn't say anything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCaroline raised her voice, "Brennan! Are you listening to me?" Brennan shuddered.
He jolted awake, startled by Caroline's voice. "Pregnant, pregnant." Caroline's tone changed. "Pregnant? Tell me, who is pregnant!" "Selina. She's pregnant." Crash.
The phone in Caroline's hand fell to the ground.
Her face was a little pale.
How could Selina get pregnant?
She had clearly implanted that thing ow into Selina's body. How could Selima still be pregnant when she was En supposed to be in miserable pain? Could it be that the thing was useless? Caroline felt her heart swell.
Selina had toyed around with her in the past, but she was living happily ever after with Matthew. What's more infuriating was that she was pregnant now! én.sw Caroline could imagine how the future would be for Selina.
Selina would have a happy family of three with Matthew, enjoying their quality family time.
Caroline clenched her fists tightly.
No, she would not allow such a thing to happen! Since Selina made a fool of her, she had to pay the price! Caroline took a deep breath.
She picked up her phone.
"Caroline, are you alright?" Brennan's anxious voice could be heard on the other end of the line.
"I'm fine. I was just too happy to hear that Selina's pregnant," Caroline said.
Brennan heaved a sigh of relief.
"I still have things to do, so I'll hang up DOW." Caroline said, "Also you didn't tell Selina that I wanted you to meet her, right?"
