Thinking back on Matthew's icy attitude, Selina's heart was still aching.
She pursed her lips and said, "Matthew, you b*stard. You keep making me mad and making me cry. I hate you so much, so much."
Matthew, who was still applying medicine on her foot, paused for a while. He then said, "If you hate me that much, you can just leave once I'm done treating you."
Selina froze.
She was a little angry. "How can I walk with my feet like this?"
"I'll get someone to send you back," Matthew said.
Selina was speechless.
She withdrew her feet from Matthew and stepped back into her shoe. "If you're that annoyed by my presence, you don't need to get someone to send me back, I can walk back myself."
However, before she could take a step, Selina fell forward.
She was in such a hurry to leave that she hadn't even properly put on her shoes, and she had fallen just like that.
Fortunately, before she crashed onto the ground, Matthew grabbed hold of her.
Selina fell right into Matthew's arms, as if they were embracing one another.
A wave of heat surrounded Selina.
She could feel the warmth from his body, and Selina was flustered.
It had been a long time since she had such close contact with Matthew.
Being this close, in an embrace like this, made her heart throb uncontrollably.
A blush crept onto her cheeks.
Meanwhile, Matthew was lost in thought for a moment.
Her soft body was pressed against his, and it felt as if an electric current was passing all the way through him.
However, in the blink of an eye, Matthew immediately let go of Selina.
He carried her back to the couch.
"If you want to leave, I'll let someone send you back. You can't leave like this," Matthew said with his dark gaze, hiding all his emotions away.
Hearing that Matthew was about to send her away, Selina got mad again.
She glared at him and asked, "Matthew, are you that desperate for me to leave?"
"Yes." Matthew was direct.
Selina was at a loss for words.
She felt both wronged and angry.
He had still been so kind to her the night before, asking all those questions that would make her imagine things, yet that day, he was acting this cold, and even wanting her to leave!
Was he toying with her?
Selina sniffed and said, "If you want me to go, why did you ask me those questions yesterday? Are you toying with me, Matthew?"
Matthew froze.
He got reminded of those questions from the night before.
A hint of bitterness flashed across Matthew's eyes.
If he had known that Selina was already with a man who resembled Dylan that much, Matthew would never have asked those questions.
He fixed his gaze on Selina, as if he was trying to read her, then said, "Selina, who's toying with who now?"
Why would she do things to make him misunderstand when she already had a new
boyfriend?
"You're the one toying with me, obviously!" Selina claimed.
Matthew suddenly laughed. His smile was icy and didn't quite reach his eyes.
He bent over, and their distance got closer.
Seeing that his face was approaching her, Selina felt her throat go dry.
She was still feeling angry, but with Matthew closing the distance between them, Selina felt nervous, and also a strange anticipation.
A kind of indescribable anticipation.
However, just as the tips of their nose were about to touch, Matthew stopped.
