Selina was speechless.
She couldn't come up with anything to refute Peter.
Nobody else but him would have a rich enough imagination to think that way!
She didn't even know how to explain it to him.
After all, she only slept with Matthew once. How could she get pregnant with that alone? However, she could never let Peter know about this.
She could only make a vague statement, saying, "Grandpa, getting pregnant is up to fate, isn't it?"
"That's what you say every time!" Peter was not glad to hear this.
Selina pursed her lips in silence.
Meanwhile, Peter continued, "Anyway, did you sleep in the room I chose for you two back then? The aura in it increases fertility."
Selina's heart skipped a beat.
The room was occupied, but with Matthew alone. Selina had been sleeping in another room all this while.
Selina steeled herself and stated, "Yes, we did."
Peter pondered for a while and said to Selina, "I'll see it with my own eyes later."
Selina was dumbfounded.
She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Grandpa, are you saying you want to see me spending the night with Matthew in that room?"
Peter rolled his eyes. "I'm just saying I want to take a look at the room you two sleep in."
Selina heaved a sigh of relief.
Later, Prine started serving the dishes Matthew had made to the dining table.
When she passed by the living room, Prine told Peter with a smile, "Mr. Whitlock, I have to say that Miss Whitlock is blessed to be Mr. Perry's wife. He's not only handsome and rich, but also he's a good cook too."
Of course, Prine was aware of the current situation between Selina and Matthew. She was just putting up an act for Peter's sake.
However, Prine was still hopeful.
Thus, she took every opportunity she could to praise Matthew.
Peter was delighted to hear what Prine said.
A smile appeared on his wrinkled face as he replied, "That's true. My granddaughter is really blessed. Back when she was in the United States, I thought no one would ever want to marry her, but she turned out to marry a wonderful man."
Selina's expression darkened in an instant.
Why would Peter put her down like this in front of someone else?
On top of that, he laughed his heart out after making such remarks.
Matthew also walked out from the kitchen at that moment.
He looked at Peter and asked in a clear voice, "Grandpa, you look happy. What are you laughing at?"
Selina tensed up immediately.
She was afraid that he would make similar remarks about her again, so she immediately ran up to Peter and covered his mouth with her hand.
She smiled dryly at Matthew. "Nope, Grandpa isn't laughing at all. You must've seen it wrong."
Peter pushed her hand away.
He told Matthew, "Selina was talking about how blessed and happy she is to marry you, and I was laughing because I was happy to hear it."
Selina did not say anything.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to just dig up a hole and bury herself in it.
D*mn it. She would rather Peter bring up how he thought no one would marry her instead!
Matthew was gazing pointedly at Selina, and he gave a faint grin. "Selina, is that so?"
Selina blushed.
She wanted to deny and ask who would be happy to marry him when he was that old.
However, she swallowed all her words.
