Matthew looked at Selina calmly. "That was why I didn't touch you last night, Selina. No one would continue to love someone if the feeling was not being returned. If you don't love me, I will choose not to love you too."
The dream left Selina a little disappointed.
When she woke up, she subconsciously looked down to the floor, but Matthew was nowhere to be seen.
Her heart felt inexplicably empty followed by slight anxiousness.
She got out of bed.
When she saw Natalie outside, the first thing she asked was, "Where is Matthew?"
"Matthew and Grandpa are out at the garden for a morning jog. They had been there for quite a long time."
Upon hearing Natalie's answer, she felt her heart filled again.
So, Matthew was still there.
She thought that he had left without saying goodbye.
Without realizing it, Selina walked to the garden.
The Whitlock family had an enormous garden which was full of delicate and beautiful flowers. She could smell the flowers the moment she walked into the garden.
As she looked at the enormous garden, Selina thought of the Perry family's garden.
It had been an enormous garden that was as good as the Whitlock family's garden, but she had turned it into a vegetable farm.
She didn't know whether Matthew had restored the vegetable farm to its original state.
After all, the appearance of a vegetable farm did not match the Perry family's villa.
As she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard an energetic voice calling out, "Selina."
It was Peter's voice.
Perhaps it was still early in the morning, so Peter was still energetic, and his deep and rich voice had returned.
Selina raised her head and saw two people walking towards her from a distance.
It was Peter, and Matthew.
All of a sudden, Selina was in a daze.
Matthew was in white sportswear.
This man was usually dressed in suits. This was the first time she had seen Matthew in
sportswear.
It was a bright and sunny morning, the sun seeped through the gaps between the leaves, and shone on the side of Matthew's delicate face. His looks were so delicate that it made him seem like someone out of a picture.
He also looked young.
She had never known that Matthew could show such a young side.
The way he dressed made him looked like an energetic, young college graduate.
"Selina, you're drooling over his looks." On the other side, Peter and Matthew had already walked to Selina's side.
Selina came back to her senses.
She looked flustered. "I'm not."
'D*mn it! Why was I drooling over Matthew's looks?' she thought to herself.
A smile flashed across Peter's eyes. "You're still so attracted by your husband's looks though you're already married. It seems Matthew is indeed charming."
Selina said nothing.
She was so embarrassed to the point that she wanted to find a hole and hide.
Matthew cast her a thoughtful gaze.
It made Selina even more embarrassed.
Selina started blabbering nonsense, "No, I was just thinking how bad Matthew looked in sportswear. Such young attire doesn't suit his age."
Peter was quiet.
Matthew replied emotionlessly, "Then I won't wear it in the future. It's indeed true that such young attire doesn't suit my age."
The moment he said this, she felt her guilt surging up.
She knew that she didn't mean that.
