As if Selina was worried Matthew wouldn't unlock the door, she then added, "I'll get your phone for you."
Matthew did not know what to say.
His doubt grew even stronger.
He pressed a button and the doors were unlocked.
Selina got out of the car.
Matthew's phone was on the ground from a distance away.
Selina walked over and found that the phone was broken.
It seemed like the force of her throw was so powerful that the screen already cracked.
There was a flash of guilt in Selina's eyes.
She was indeed too impulsive.
She shouldn't have thrown away Matthew's cell phone like this, but...
How would she have known that what she heard with her own ears was all fake?
She bent down and picked up the phone.
As soon as she turned around, she was shrouded by a shadow.
Matthew was already standing behind her.
Selina's breathing stuttered.
After a while, she handed the phone to Matthew.
Matthew looked a little helpless at the cracked screen.
"I'll buy you a new one." Selina forced a smile. "I'll make it up to you for breaking your phone. Let's get you a new one now."
Matthew's deep gaze fell on Selina's face as he looked closely at it.
A moment later, he said, "Selina, why were you so mad thinking that I was together with Joycelyn? And why do you look so relieved and happy now that you've learned it's all a misunderstanding?"
Thump.
Her heart beat so rapidly that her chest was about to explode.
Her lips trembled for a while before she said, "What do you think?"
A look of doubt flashed across Matthew's eyes.
If those things hadn't happened, Matthew would really have misunderstood it all.
However, with how profound the relationship between Selina and Dylan was, and how eager she was to leave him, Matthew didn't dare to have a second opinion.
"I don't know," Matthew blurted after a long time.
Selina's courage suddenly retreated.
If Matthew were to ask her if she liked him, she would definitely have said yes.
However, Matthew did not ask that question.
She lost all her courage.
Selina forced out a sentence, "I just don't like Joycelyn. I owe you, and I want you to find a better person."
There was a hint of disappointment in Matthew's eyes.
He knew that he was overthinking.
There were countless possibilities in the world, but there was one thing that he could be sure of.
Selina would never fall for him.
Matthew forced a casual tone and said, "You don't have to act so mad over this."
Selina bit her lip. "Well, I've always been like this, haven't I? I've always been a little weird."
Matthew did not know what to say.
"Well, let's buy you a new phone, it's on me." Selina changed the subject.
"You don't have to pay for it," Matthew said.
"No, I broke your phone, so I'll pay for it," Selina insisted.
"If you really want to pay, you can pay with something else." His gaze was casual, and there was a silhouette hidden within his long eyelashes, which made his facial features even more distinct.
Selina's heart began to race again.
Her mouth was dry.
She blushed a little and asked, "What is it then?"
Matthew's gaze deepened a little, "Keep me in a good mood."
