Selina had fully exhausted his patience, and he no longer liked her even a bit.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart dimmed. She did not want to stay here any longer, nor did she want to see Matthew.
Selina stood up with a scrape.
Matthew was still holding the hairdryer in midair. He looked at Selina in surprise. "Your hair isn't dry yet."
Selina touched her dark hair. Indeed, it was not dry. It was still a little damp.
Selina pursed her lips. "Don't bother. My hair will get damaged if it's too dry."
"Okay." Matthew did not say anything more and put down the hairdryer in his hand.
"Let's leave. I want to go home," said Selina.
As she said this, she still had some whimsical expectations in her heart.
She was looking forward to Matthew telling her to have dinner with him before she went back, or something along those lines.
However, Matthew did not say anything like she had been hoping for.
All he said was a single word.
"Okay."
Selina's mood dropped all the way to the bottom of the abyss.
On the way back, Matthew and Selina were both silent.
When they arrived at the door of the Whitlock family villa, Selina directly opened the door and got out of the car.
She walked into the villa huffing with anger.
It was not until she was halfway there that her footsteps slowed down.
She wanted to look back to see if Matthew's car was still there.
After thinking about it for a long time, she did not end up having the courage.
She walked into the living room.
Natalie was there, about to make a phone call. When she saw that Selina had come back, she put down the phone in her hand and said, "You're finally back, Selina! You scared me to death! Matthew called me looking for you just now! I..."
Natalie said all of this in one breath, then paused to collect her thoughts before continuing, "I was so anxious that I was about to call Tobias. Fortunately, Matthew later told me that you were fine, but where did you go?"
Selina said, "It's not a big deal. I was dragged into the woods and nearly assaulted by someone."
She had always been like this. As long as there had not been any big consequences, she would not really care much about it.
Existing alone would mean having to deal with all types of situations. If she were to be hung up on all of them, then she would be exhausted. That was why Selina could speak so casually and indifferently.
On the other hand, Natalie nearly passed out from fear.
Her face turned pale and her body teetered.
Selina hurriedly went to support her, realizing that what she had said just now might have been a bit too much.
She hurriedly explained, "Natalie, don't worry, nothing happened. That b*stard didn't end up taking advantage of me. Matthew saved me. You can rest assured."
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked Selina up and down. "Is there really nothing wrong?" "No, there isn't," Selina stated with certainty.
Natalie grabbed her by the hand and sat on the sofa. "Selina, what happened? Why did you get dragged into the woods? Didn't you just go for a walk in the park?"
At the mention of the park, Selina stood up.
She suddenly remembered.
Rocky!
Selina was anxious to leave. "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten, Natalie. Rocky ran away. What if something happens to him? I have to hurry and look for him."
Natalie quickly grabbed hold of her.
Something had nearly happened to Selina earlier. How could Natalie let her go anywhere?
Natalie said, "If you want to look for Rocky, send someone to do it. Even if you try, there's no guarantee you'll find him. Since you're back, have a good rest."
Being persuaded by Natalie, all Selina could do was concede.
