"Didn't you say that I can drink as much as I want?" Matthew sighed. Search the FindNøvelWebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

He had only said it in passing. Who would have known that she would madly down so much soy milk? "There's not a single good man," Selina abruptly spat.

This was something classic that all women would say when hurt or greatly disappointed by a man.

Matthew was speechless.

"Selina, who told you that? It's unfair to lump all men into a single category," Matthew said with a sigh.

Selina's gaze froze for a moment. After a while, she put on a bitter smile and said, "You're right. I was too extreme. There are good men too, like my brother." Her brother, Tobias, was indeed a really good man. He was so kind to Natalie and he doted on her down to her very bones.

Selina envied Natalie very much.

However, why didn't she have such good luck? "Selina, Tobias is not the only one, there are other good men," Matthew said. "It's just that you have yet to notice them." He was a good man too. It was a pity that Selina didn't notice.

The corner of Selina's lips twitched. "That's right, I haven't seen any. Tell me, why is my life so hard? There are so many good men out there, and yet even after staring my eyes out I have yet to catch sight of one." Why had she met a man like Dylan? "Selina, how is your life hard?" Matthew spoke while his eyes shone brightly. "You're the prized daughter of the Whitlock family, their pride and joy. You're the number one beauty in all of the upper class. You're someone that other people find dazzling. Why would you think that you have a hard life?" Selina's breathing froze for a moment.

Matthew was giving her sserious praise. If he hadn't said anything, she would not have realized how excellent she was.

Even Selina herself was somewhat embarrassed by what Matthew said. "It's not that exaggerated." "Selina, I'm not exaggerating," Matthew said firmly. "You are a real princess." Selina was stunned.

If she was a real princess, then why didn't she feel like one? A real princess should be cherished like the most precious of jewels in the prince's hands, but that was not the case.

She was like a monkey, being toyed around with. One moment, he'd said he wanted to marry her, and the next that he didn't. He had her completely in the palm of his hand.

"You're right, I'm a real princess," Selina said in self-deprecation. "I'm the princess of the monkeys." Matthew was at a loss for words.

"Don't joke around," Matthew said quietly.

The corner of Selina's mouth twitched.

She was not joking. She was indeed the princess of the monkeys.

At that point, a hint of determination suddenly flashed across her eyes.

She turned on her phone and countless missed calls and text messages appeared on her screen.

It was too painful to see and made her heart ache.

She dialed a number.

Natalie picked up the phone quickly. Her worried voice cfrom the other end of the line. "Selina, where have you been? Everyone is worried sick.

None of us could get through your phone. We were about to send out a search party." Selina sniffed and said in a guilty tone, "Natalie, please tell everyone that I'm fine. I'm okay. I just might not be coming back tonight." "Why not?" Natalie asked anxiously. "Tomorrow, you still need to..." Selina interrupted Natalie. "There will be no wedding tomorrow." On the other end of the line, Natalie was shocked.

Why would there be no wedding? Hadn't it been clearly agreed upon already? Selina had been so excited. How could they cancel it at the last minute? "Natalie, don't ask about the reason. Either way, it's been called off. Please tell my mom not to worry about me. I'm fine. I'll be fine... I've finally thought it through this time. I am completely done with that man." "Selina, you..." Just as Natalie was about to say something, she saw Cecilia looking at her.

Natalie passed her phone to Cecilia.

"Selina, it's me, your mother," Cecilia said gently.

Her tone was very gentle. There was no blame, doubt, or questioning.

Hearing this, Selina was on the verge of tears.

"Mom," she replied.

"Selina, no matter what happens, the family always has your back. I'm here for you," Cecilia said.

Selina's eyes turned redder. "Mom, I don't want to get married. I don't want to be with that man anymore." "Selina, regardless of whether you get married or not, I will always support you. You're a grown woman, you can make your own decisions." Selina was choked up. "Thank you, Mom." "Silly child, what's there to thank between family members? Will you be coming back tonight?" Cecilia asked. Selina's breathing paused for a moment.

She said bitterly, "I won't be coming back tonight. Mom, you can rest assured that I will arrange a safe place to stay for myself. My mind is in a mess right now and I don't want to cback yet." Although Cecilia was being so gentle, Selina still really didn't know how to face them if she were to go back now.

"Okay. Take care of yourself," Cecilia replied.

"Okay, Mom. That's all, then." Selina hung up the phone.

A tear escaped from her eye.

Sitting opposite to Selina, Matthew's eyes were full of astonishment.

If he had thought that what she had said previously was just selaborate joke, after this phone call, he was certain that something had gone wrong.

"Matthew, can I lean on your shoulder for a while?" Selina said with a sob.

Matthew returned to his senses.

He stood up and sat down beside Selina. "Sure." Selina leaned her head on Matthew's shoulder and cried so hard that her body was shook.

All of her tears fell on Matthew's shirt.

Matthew's heart began to throb for no reason as well.

Selina's tears felt like sharp swords landing on his heart.

He didn't know what had happened, but he felt her pain.

"Matthew, I'm heartbroken," said Selina as she choked on her sobs.

"How can you be heartbroken when you're about to get married?" Matthew asked, voice thick with emotion.

"I just am. I feel so sad, so sad. It's hard to explain how sad I am," Selina mumbled.

Her tears continued to fall on Matthew's shirt as she spoke.

Matthew had wanted to ask about what exactly had happened, but m Selina kept droning on about how sad she felt that it left no room for interruption. So, Matthew just remained silent.

Talking was pointless right then. It was better to let Selina cry for a while and vent out her anger. Perhaps she would cease to be sad after she was done. However, before Selina finished crying her share, the waitress came.

She felt bad as she said, "Sir, ma'am, our shop is closing for the night.' ||

When Matthew and Selina had entered, they had already been ready to close shop, but seeing as they were here only for ssoy milk, En they thought that they wouldn't spend too much tdrinking it.

Little did they expect that Selina would choose to break down there. Nobody knew how long it would take Selina to finish crying.

Selina said with reddened eyes, "Can't you just letcry a little more? Just close the shop a little later!11 The waitress looked even more uncomfortable.

"Actually, ma'am... we were going to close shop a long tago."
