She raised the corners of her eyes and looked at Matthew.
Matthew smiled and said, "Why would I have any secrets? Don't think so much. Go to bed early."
There was a flash of deep thought in Selina's eyes.
She seemed to have come to a realization. She asked, "Is there something shady in that pink room?"
Matthew did not know what to say.
With a wry smile, he answered, "What shady things could I have put inside? Don't think too much about it."
The more Matthew did not want Selina to think, the more she couldn't help but contemplate.
Her eyes swept around and finally stopped.
Selina murmured, "I get it, Matthew. Tell me, are there things like sex dolls, porn mags, or BDSM equipment in that room?"
Matthew did not respond.
He didn't expect such words to come out from Selina's mouth.
"Am I right or not?" Selina pressed.
Matthew looked at her. "You only think about these things, don't you? I didn't know that you were such a perverted woman, Selina."
Selina was speechless.
She blushed immediately. "I'm not. You're the pervert here. You're the one who hid those kinds of things in your house, so why can't I say something about it?"
Matthew had a peaceful expression on his face. "No. First of all, I have no interest in sex dolls. After all, it's not as good as the touch of a real person, so what's the use of it?"
After saying that, Matthew looked at Selina with a spark in his eyes.
Selina was at a loss for words.
She gave Matthew a wary look. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
He smiled. "Would a doll's face be as smooth as yours?"
"Of course not!" Selina replied immediately.
"Then what's the point of it?" Matthew asked Selina.
Selina was rendered speechless once more.
Matthew had always been good with his words. There was no way she could win against him.
However, even if there were no dolls in there, the two other things she had mentioned might be. Otherwise, why would Matthew refuse to talk about it?
"There might be things like handcuffs and dirty magazines inside!" Selina confidently stated.
"I don't read those kinds of magazines. I've told you the reason before. What's the point of getting myself riled up alone? As for the handcuffs..." Matthew paused for a moment. Then, his gaze grew even deeper. "There's nobody for me to play with, either."
Selina didn't know what else to say.
Under Matthew's gaze, Selina felt that she couldn't hide away from him at all.
Her blush was growing increasingly furious.
To cover up her guilt, she blurted, "You can go play with that 'lady friend' of yours then!"
Matthew was not amused.
He couldn't understand who the "lady friend" Selina mentioned was.
After a while, Matthew said, "Selina, you want to make friends, do you? I can help introduce you to people."
Selina remained silent.
She pursed her lips. "Forget it. I'm going to bed. I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore."
After walking a few steps, Matthew called her name all of a sudden.
Selina stopped, turned her head around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
There was some hesitation on Matthew's face.
"What's wrong?" Selina was confused.
"Today, you and Dylan..." A few words were blurted out from Matthew's thin lips.
Selina was stunned.
"Forget it, it's fine. Go to sleep." The inky look in Matthew's eyes dissipated.
Selina bit her lip.
She went upstairs without saying anything else.
The night was getting darker.
Selina placed her head on the soft pillow.
Both the pillow and quilt seemed to have traces of Matthew's scent.
