He wasn't touched by Natalie's words. She hadn't made him realize anything at all.
He looked at Natalie sorrowfully. "Natalie, there's no turning back for me. From the moment you lied to me, I was doomed to choose this path. I will not let you go, never!" As he finished his words, Remington left the room and slammed the door roughly.
Natalie's fingertips started to tremble.
She finally understood why Remington was acting so paranoid.
She finally understood why Remington had imprisoned her here.
It was not only because of Remington's feelings for her, but more the thought that Natalie had deceived him. Not to mention, this incident reminded him of his past.
Remington hadn't gone crazy overnight. It was due to a continuous set of events.
Natalie gave a heavy, uncontrollable cough as she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Tobias did not expect Remington to hide Natalie in such a place.
It was a desolate village far away from Agaphen City.
Tobias would never have thought of that place. No wonder he couldn't find Natalie despite sending numerous people to look for her.
After Yuna told him where Natalie was being hidden, Tobias set off immediately.
He straight up mobilized a private plane as he didn't want to lose even a single second.
As the weather was bad that day, the pilot flew the plane very carefully. However, Tobias felt like twas running out, so he decided to fly the plane himself.
Selina and Matthew were both on the plane too.
Selina was surprised that Tobias could fly a plane.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I didn't know that my brother knew how to fly a plane," she murmured to herself. She didn't expect that Matthew, sitting next to her, would respond, "Your brother can do anything." Selina beamed with pride. "You bet, my brother is the best." Matthew smiled.
His eyes were fixed on Selina's radiant face.
They were about an hour away from the village.
Selina looked out of the window with a trace of perplexity in her eyes.
It was such a desolate place... Why would Remington imprison Natalie in such a remote area? The truth was, if there hadn't been any solid evidence, she would never believe that Remington would commit such a crazy and paranoid crime.
In Selina's heart, Remington had always been like a fox, a cunning fox.
Why would such an intelligent man do something like this? Selina's emotions were so complex that she felt the urge to vent to Matthew, despite not knowing him well.
Not to mention, Matthew was a warm person who would definitely lend her a listening ear.
"Matthew," Selina muttered. "Tell me, why do you think my brother is acting like this? Why did he join hands with Yuna to kidnap Natalie?" Matthew was at a loss for words.
The corner of his mouth twitched. Although it was not the first tthat Selina was talking to him, he still wasn't used to it.
He personally believed that she made him sound like an old man, even though he wasn't old at all in terms of age or appearance.
However, Selina could call him whatever she pleased.
"People can do crazy things when they're too deeply in love, and they wouldn't think logically like normal people do. Maybe that's why Remington did such a thing, he's lost his reason," Matthew said in a deep voice.
Selina was stunned.
People could do crazy things when they were too deeply in love...
"Just like me?" She suddenly murmured. Search the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
She had always been like this. She was usually a rather smart girl, but when she was with Dylan, her ability to think rationally would be thrown out the window. No matter how others persuaded her, it would be useless.
Matthew could not hear her clearly. "What did you say?" Selina snapped out of it.
She smiled. "It's nothing. Matthew, is it the sfor you? Would you becirrational if you fell in love?" Matthew's gaze slightly darkened.
No, he wouldn't.
Although he had special feelings for the girl in front of him and had thought of her constantly since getting a glimpse of her nine years ago, he had never done anything unreasonable for love.
Even until now, he hadn't confessed to Selina about his feelings.
He had always been calm, even when he was dealing with a relationship.
"I... don't think I would. At least, I haven't so far," Matthew replied.
Selina raised her eyebrows. "I knew you wouldn't." A hint of interest flashed across Matthew's dark eyes. "Hm, how would you know?" Selina grinned. "For a mature man like you, you must have experienced all kinds of relationships. You're probably a veteran in the dating scene. You can have any woman wrapped around your finger. How could you lose your mind for the sake of love?" Matthew couldn't help laughing as he heard this.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh, you seem to knowpretty well?" "Isn't that the case?" Selina countered.
"Of course not." Selina stuck out her tongue, not believing him.
"Don't tellthat you've never been in a relationship before, and you're still a virgin?" No topic was taboo to Selina.
Matthew's pupils darkened.
"Hm?" He neither denied nor confirmed it.
Selina was somewhat dissatisfied with his response.
"A handsand rich man like you must have led countless girls into the bedroom. Stop acting innocent already," Selina couldn't help but say.
She was a member of the upper class. Naturally, she knew the tricks that men in noble families would play on girls. To be honest, besides Tobias, the rich men she knew were all playboys.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthew was speechless.
He gave a heavy cough. "Selina, you really have a wild imagination." "It's not that my imagination is wild, it's the truth." Just as Selina finished her words, the plane took a sudden turn.
It turned out that a bird was flying past in front of them and was about to hit the plane. The plane had dipped slightly as Tobias maneuvered it to avoid hitting the bird. Selina was caught off guard. The momentum sent her staggering forward.
As Selina was falling over, Matthew subconsciously reached out his hand to catch her.
There was silence.
Selina's eyes widened.
Matthew felt something unusual in his palm.
The two of them looked at each other.
"Ah!" A moment later, Selina let out a cry.
She stood up in a hurry and glared at Matthew angrily. "You... You pervert!"
When Matthew had reached out his hand to catch her earlier, his hand had landed on the part under her neck... Matthew had nothing to say.
He hadn't wanted to take advantage of Selina. It was completely unintentional.
"I..." Matthew was just about to explain when Selina interrupted him.
"You're so sleazy!" Selina added furiously.
Matthew said helplessly, "That wasn't on purpose." Selina gave no response.
He immediately continued, "You escaped too fast, I didn't even get a chance." Selina remained quiet.
Her face turned red instantly.
