Matthew's gaze swept across the faint shadow beneath Selina's eyes, and said, "Let's talk about this tomorrow."
Selina didn't respond to that before running back to her bedroom.
She lay down on the bed, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
She had a lot of concerns, but Peter's words were simply too sleep-inducing, and Selina could only surrender to her sleepiness.
That night, Selina dreamt of something.
In her dream, when Matthew asked her that question, she was straightforward in confessing her feelings for him.
Matthew was delighted.
He admitted that he liked her as well.
They got together, and had a grand wedding that could even be on par with Natalie and Tobias'. After getting married, they became parents to two beautiful children.
She and Matthew lived happily together.
The next day, Selina woke up with a wide smile on her face.
She was surprised.
Was the dream she had the night before good enough for her to grin this much?
She got out of bed and freshened up.
She headed downstairs with an anxious heart.
It was because she got reminded that she would run into Matthew later, and he would most likely continue their conversation from the night before.
Selina inhaled deeply.
She decided that she would be honest with Matthew if he chose to ask her that question. She didn't want to run away from him anymore.
However, as she made her way downstairs, she didn't see Matthew at all. Not only that, Peter wasn't there either.
Selina was puzzled.
Prine then came to Selina and told her that Matthew was already at the company.
"Mr. Perry told me that you would be up late today, and he told me to keep your breakfast warm for you," Prine said with a smile.
Selina then turned on her phone to see that it was already almost 10 in the morning!
Selina didn't know what to say.
No wonder Matthew wasn't at home. It was already this late, of course he would be at his office already.
She didn't know she would wake up that late.
During breakfast, Selina then asked Erine about Peter.
Erine was not sure either.
"I think he said he was going back, but I don't know the details," Erine told her.
Selina then made a call back home.
After all, Peter was already getting old. They had to watch out for him more often.
Cecilia answered the phone, and Peter really was back in the Whitlock family house.
"He came to look for Natalie. He's anxious about the baby," Cecilia clarified.
"Well, it's only normal. Natalie should be delivering already by now, but there's nothing from her yet." Selina had to agree.
"We shouldn't rush things. Didn't the doctor tell her the baby is already due? It wouldn't take her that long," Cecilia said.
Reid was annoyed.
There was nothing from the dog he had deliberately planted next to Selina.
To be exact, he didn't get any information regarding Selina through the tapping device he had planted in the dog's ears.
He could only hear a woman's voice, with a heavy accent, which was definitely not Selina's.
Reid was afraid that Selina had found out about the tapping device.
However, thinking about it, that wouldn't make sense. If Selina knew about the tapping device, it wouldn't take her long to trace it back to Reid himself, yet nothing had happened to him.
After pondering for a long while, Reid dialed Lothar's number, asking him to find out what really happened.
Reid could tell that Lothar was getting increasingly reluctant to receive his tasks.
However, once Reid mentioned that he would make him a huge celebrity, Lothar would still end up obeying his instructions.
