Natalie tried to keep a cheerful tone. "Didn't you say that you wanted to find a new boyfriend? Mom's made a shortlist of potential candidates for you to choose from. Go have a look." Selina did not know what to say.
She had said that to Natalie in the morning, but it had been a half-truth said out of anger. She hadn't expected that Natalie and Cecilia would actually begin searching so soon. However, the words had cout from her mouth, so Selina had to bite the bullet.
Looking at the photos on the tablet, Selina couldn't care less.
Cecilia could not help but ask, "Selina, isn't there anyone suitable?" "Nope," Selina replied dismissively.
Cecilia was a little anxious. "How could that be? All of these people are excellent. They have a good family background and good looks. Selina, why don't you take another look?" Selina bit her lip.
She really was not interested in the men in the photos.
If she had to pick, she'd rather go for Matthew...
The moment this idea emerged from Selina's mind, she was stunned.
Why had she thought of Matthew again? Selina put down the tablet. "Mom, none of them are any good. Why don't I look for one myself?" Cecilia did not believe what Selina was saying. "How are you supposed to find one when you have no men around you at all?" Cecilia knew that Selina didn't have any male friends whatsoever.
Selina gritted her teeth., "Don't doubt me. I'll find one for you to see. Don't be surprised when the tcomes." In the evening, Selina invited Matthew out.
She intended to have a good chat with Matthew.
The place they were going to meet was a coffee shop. Selina thought a lot on the way there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was thinking that if she had to find a boyfriend anyway, why not go for Matthew? When she arrived at the coffee shop and saw Matthew through the transparent window, she was a little surprised.
She had left for the cafe as soon as she got off the phone, and it was closer to the Whitlock family's villa as well. She had thought that she would arrive first and that she would definitely have to wait for Matthew for a while.
However, to her surprise, Matthew was the one who arrived first.
As Matthew sat there, he attracted a lot of attention. Not only was he extremely goodlooking, but his aura was otherworldly as well. His posture was so unnaturally straight that anyone would notice him from afar.
Suddenly, his gaze flicked to Selina.
When she saw a waiter accidentally slip as he passed by Matthew with a cup of coffee, anxiety leapt into her heart. Unexpectedly, though, Matthew got up immediately and caught the waiter just before he fell. The waiter quickly thanked Matthew, who gave a faint smile in return.
A tinge of warmth was felt in Selina's heart.
She knew that most of the upper class were very arrogant and looked down on commoners, even more so when it cto retail workers.
Many people clearly saw that the waiter was going to fall, but nobody had bothered to stand up and help. However, Matthew did.
The most important thing was that the waiter was holding a tray with a cup of hot coffee on it.
If Matthew went to help the waiter, it was very likely that the boiling hot coffee would spill all over him. Nonetheless, he had not hesitated to lend a helping hand.
Selina's eyelashes twitched.
She thought to herself that Matthew was a truly amazing person.
She suddenly felt a little regret. She really shouldn't have called Matthew out.
She gritted her teeth and thought to herself that since she was here, she should at least go in. Either way, she would make it clear to him. If he were to agree, that would be the best, and if not, that would be fine as well.
When Matthew saw Selina coming in, he stood up. "You're here." His tone was clear and pleasant.
Selina smiled.
Matthew pulled out a chair for Selina.
Selina sat down.
Then, Matthew proceeded to order two cups of cappuccinos from the waiter.
"Do you like to drink cappuccinos too?" Selina asked.
Matthew grinned. "Since you like them, I'll drink them with you." His tone was so easygoing that it gave an uncontrollably intimate feeling.
A few moments later, the waiter served up the cappuccinos.
Selina picked up the cup and felt the heat from it.
She looked at Matthew. "Matthew, I've made up my mind. I'll be your girlfriend." A smile flashed in Matthew's eyes.
"However," Selina started, before pausing. "I still need to clarify something with you." "Go ahead." Matthew looked at her with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelina continued, "Have you ever thought that if I were to be your girlfriend, you might be used by me?" Matthew's gaze froze.
"Uh, what do you mean?" he asked casually.
A gloomy light flashed in Selina's eyes. "Matthew, you need to know that I'm looking for a rebound solely for the purpose of helping met forget about my ex who I almost married. Of course, I also wish to develop feelings for my new man, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it. If I can't, you would purely have been used by me. Matthew, do you understand?" Selina hoped that this would persuade Matthew to back off.
After all, she felt that she was being selfish here too, especially to Matthew who was so kind.
Matthew kept silent for a moment.
His eyes stared into Selina's. "To be honest, you mentioning your ex in front ofmakesslightly uncomfortable. After all, you know how strong a man's possessiveness is." There were sthings that Matthew had held back. Selina's words showed that she still had deep feelings for her ex.
There was a slight pause in Selina's breathing. Suddenly, she felt a little unhappy.
She felt that Matthew was looking down on her past.
Selina had always been outspoken and straightforward. In her dissatisfaction, she set the coffee cup in her hand down on the table heavily.
She stood up all of a sudden with extrdispleasure in her eyes. "Since you feel uncomfortable, there's no need to take this discussion any further. If you don't like my past, just say it. There's no need to bring up all that!" Although she and Dylan had almost gotten married, she was still a virgin. Although she had had a relationship with Dylan for so many years, she had stuck with her principles and nothing had ever happened before.
Matthew, on the other hand, with his good looks and propensity for flirtation, must have been with m ме countless young women before.

Selina was about to leave angrily when Matthew suddenly said, "How could I ever look down on you, Selina? I'm just stating my regrets." Selina stopped in her tracks.
His eyes were like a deep spring dyed in moonlight, in which only Selina was reflected. He said 1x gently buth sincerely, "Whatt am not comfortable with is that I was not there to share your past with you. However since the past is already gone and I can't be a part of it, I hope I can be a part of your future, Selina." Selina felt like her breath had totally escaped her.
