"Silly girl." There was a slight sigh to Matthew's voice. "I have to endure it even if I can't."
That night, they slept on the same bed.
Selina turned her back to Matthew.
She had to admit that even she had sexual desires.
If she faced Matthew's handsome demeanor, she couldn't help but think of the things that they had yet to do.
Therefore, it would be better to not look at him.
When she turned away from Matthew, he began to stroke her back. This caused Selina's feelings to stir.
When she was about to persuade Matthew not to tease her like this, he whispered something next to her ear.
"Selina, I love you."
Matthew's whisper was nearly inaudible.
She felt that Matthew was not saying this to her. He was saying it to himself.
He was not trying to flirt with her. These words were spoken in a serious manner.
Selina's entire body trembled.
Many thoughts flashed in her mind.
She felt as though her heart was engulfed with warm currents.
Only then did she realize how much he treasured her.
Her lips twitched.
What she said did not only come from her mouth, but from the bottom of her heart.
"Matthew, I will love you properly. I will learn to be good to you as well."
After that, the corners of her lips curled up and she closed her eyes.
Finally, she felt at ease and managed to fall asleep.
When Matthew woke up the next day, it was the first time he didn't want to go to the company.
He didn't want to go to work or deal with business.
He wanted to stay with Selina.
He told Selina that he didn't plan to go to the company that day and wanted to accompany her, but she refused.
Although she also wanted Matthew to be with her, he still had to go to work.
Matthew was the president of the Perry Group. If
he was not there, how could the company run?
Matthew smiled bitterly. "Selina, I didn't understand why kings had difficulty attending court in the past. Now, I finally understand."
Selina's face blushed. "Don't talk nonsense. You have to go to work, or else I'll ignore you."
Only then did Matthew agree.
When they had breakfast, the sweetness in the room was suffocating.
When Selina felt that the milk was too hot, Matthew would blow on the milk to the right temperature and taste it before he passed it to Selina. He wanted to make sure that the temperature was right.
During the meal, Matthew would personally apply a thick slab of jam on every piece of toast for Selina.
After Selina finished, Matthew would wipe the corners of her mouth with his own hands. As he wiped it, his gaze was fixed on her.
Selina felt embarrassed.
At the end, as Matthew prepared to head to the company, Selina went with him to the door.
When they got to the door, Matthew didn't let her follow him anymore.
"I'm worried you'll be tired. Here is enough,"
Matthew stated.
"Okay." It was a simple but sweet word.
