Rocky barked a few times at Selina.
Selina suddenly smiled helplessly, "Why am I telling you all these? You can't even speak."
After saying that, she put Rocky back into his doghouse and was ready to go back to bed.
As soon as she turned around, she saw someone right in front of her.
Selina was utterly shocked.
When she saw it was Matthew, her heartbeat gradually decreased back to normal. However, she soon became nervous and flustered. "Did you hear what I said to Rocky?"
She would be very embarrassed if he had heard what she had just said.
"What did you say?" Matthew looked at Selina, "I've just arrived, so I didn't hear what you were saying to me."
Selina breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that he hadn't heard anything.
Her heart was finally at ease.
She glanced at Matthew. "Why aren't you sleeping when it's already this late? What are you doing here?" "What about you?"
She was silent for a moment.
Tugging at the corner of her mouth, she said, "I can't sleep, so I came to walk my dog. What about you? Are you trying to pleasure yourself in the middle of the night?"
Matthew was rendered speechless.
He looked embarrassed.
It was true that he hadn't been able to control himself that night, but he didn't expect Selina to bring it up again as a joke now.
Matthew coughed.
His eyes were dark and deep.
"It was your fault." There was a hint of helplessness hidden in his tone.
"How was it my fault?" Selina retorted, "Can't you control yourself? Does that mean you're going to openly pleasure yourself on the street whenever you see a girl with less clothing?"
Matthew was speechless
He felt a throbbing pain arising within his head.
Matthew fixed his gaze on Selina and said with a certain tone, "I don't have feelings for other women. What you said would never happen."
Even if any girl stood in front of him naked, he could turn a blind eye.
The root of desire was love.
If there was no love, where would his desire come from?
Selina blurted out, "Then who do you have feelings for?"
Selina regretted it the moment the words left her mouth.
This was just like asking something that she knew the answer for.
Matthew looked at Selina. His eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky. It seemed like the starry sky was hidden behind this pair of black eyes.
He didn't answer Selina's question.
"Go to bed," said Matthew.
All of a sudden, she felt disappointed.
She was so disappointed to the point that she'd lost the urge to banter with Matthew.
Selina replied in a low voice, "Ok."
As Selina was walking up the stairs, she suddenly asked, "How did you know that I was awake and came down? Weren't you already asleep?"
Matthew pursed his lips and did not answer.
Seeing his reluctance, Selina didn't ask further.
Since he didn't want to answer, there was nothing for her to say.
The two of them slept in their respective spots.
Selina slept on the bed while Matthew slept on the floor.
Neither of them knew what the other was thinking about.
The long night passed just like that.
When she woke up the next morning, Matthew was still asleep.
This was something that was very unusual.
It was because no matter where they'd been, he had always been awake before her.
He must have slept very late last night.
