At first, Natalie was going to send Tobias off all the way to the car. However, since her stomach was bulging too much, Tobias only let her see him off at the living room door.
Selina accidentally witnessed Tobias and Natalie sharing a deep kiss right before he left.
The corner of Selina's mouth twitched and she said to herself, "Showing off again."
However, Hayden, who was quick-witted, heard these words.
He immediately said crisply, "Aunt, you definitely wouldn't like to see people showing off their love."
Selina was surprised.
She casually asked, "Oh? Why is that?"
She really regretted asking this question. Perhaps if she had not, nothing much would have happened.
Meanwhile, Hayden rolled his dark eyes. "It's because you don't have a boyfriend, Aunt!"
His voice was especially loud as he said this.
Selina was at a loss for words.
She felt a little uncomfortable being teased by a child like this.
She snorted. "Who says I don't?!"
That was only because Selina was not looking for one. Otherwise, with her beauty and family background, she could simply wave her hand and the amount of men wanting to be her boyfriend would fill up the entire house.
"You don't have a boyfriend, Aunt. You're a spinster. Even at your age, you're a spinster," Hayden said without holding back.
Selina was infuriated beyond belief.
Back when she was in the United States, Peter had called her the same thing and made her very depressed.
At the end of the day, Peter was still older than her, so Selina just let it slide. However, even that little brat Hayden had begun mocking her.
Selina immediately looked at Cecilia, who was taking her time as she ate breakfast. "Mom, did you hear what Hayden just said? You should teach your grandson a good lesson."
Cecilia's beautiful eyes were full of agreement towards Hayden's words. "There's nothing wrong with what he said."
Selina was so enraged that she was about to jump up.
Could it be that everyone was purposely trying to make her upset and embarrass her?
Her eyes widened into saucers. "Mom, what do you mean?"
"It's true that you don't have a boyfriend. Is there anything wrong with what Hayden said?" Cecilia responded.
Meanwhile, Hayden covered his mouth to stifle his laughter.
Selina was speechless.
She took a deep breath and said, "Well, even if I don't have a boyfriend, I'm still in my twenties. I'm in no rush to look for one. I don't deserve to be called a spinster."
Cecilia turned her gaze to Natalie, who was still reluctant to part with Tobias at the entrance of the living room. "Natalie's your age, and she's about to give birth to her second child."
Selina had nothing to say.
She simply had nowhere to vent her anger.
This happened every time!
Every time, she used the fact that Natalie was about to have a second child to put pressure on her.
Seeing that Selina was so furious, Cecilia sighed helplessly and said in a softer voice, "Selina, don't blame me for scolding you. At your age, you should already be starting a family."
Cecilia thought that even if Selina did not go for Matthew, she should look for another man. She could not keep being single like this.
Although Cecilia was born into a noble family, her way of thinking was still more traditional. She believed that Selina should get married and have children in order for her to live a fulfilling life.
However, after she and Matthew got a divorce, she did not even have the intention of trying to meet any new men.
Although Cecilia was trying to kindly persuade her at that moment, Selina was so enraged that she did not have the heart to listen to her.
She stood up immediately. "All you talk about is starting a family. It's not that easy. Do you want me to just pick a random man from the streets?"
Cecilia had wanted to say that Selina already had a family before, with Matthew. However, it had turned into nothing at Selina's hands.
