Selina was speechless.
Her heart trembled a little.
How could Matthew say that with such certainty?
Right then, Tobias and Natalie arrived.
Even though it was such a short distance away, they were still holding hands when they came over. It was a clear sign that they were affectionate.
"What's the matter, Matthew?" Tobias looked at Matthew.
"I have something to tell everyone."
Everyone looked at Matthew except for Selina. No one knew what he was going to say.
Meanwhile, Matthew started speaking.
"Everyone, Selina and I are planning to get married. We hope to receive everyone's blessings."
His deep voice was magnetic and pleasing. Its penetrating power was so strong that it directly pierced into everyone's heart.
Matthew and Selina were about to get married again.
Everyone stared, slack-jawed.
Cecilia was the first to react.
Her attitude was very intense. "No, I don't approve. You two can't get married!"
Tobias frowned slightly.
Even though Natalie was silent, she also looked worried. From the look on her face, it was clear that she was also opposed to it.
"Madam Lawson," Matthew began. Cecilia immediately interrupted him, saying, "Matthew, you can't be hurt by Selina anymore. You can't marry her. I can't bear to see you getting hurt by her again!"
Selina was at a loss for words.
She didn't expect that Cecilia would say something like that. She couldn't help but shout, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
What did she mean that she would harm Matthew? She was no demon, nor was she an evil spirit!
"I'm not talking nonsense. Don't you remember what you did?" Cecilia glared at Selina with rage. "You made Matthew, a good man, a diamond in the rough, into a second-hand man. Are you going to start messing around again? Selina, you're an adult. Don't fool around!"
"I'm not fooling around!"
"Not to mention, Matthew must have been tricked by you again. Otherwise, he wouldn't say that he was going to marry you again!"
"Mom, you...!" Selina was about to faint from fury.
Just as she was about to lose control of her emotions, a pair of hands suddenly held hers.
His big palm was hot and warm. The heat was flowing slowly along her cold palm. Soon, her icy hand heated up.
Matthew gave Selina a deep gaze.
His eyes were deep blue, filled with a comforting power.
It was as if even if the sky were to fall, there was nothing to worry about as long as he was there.
His palm and the look in his eyes calmed down Selina's heart.
She knew that with Matthew, everything could be solved.
Selina slowly calmed down. She was no longer as agitated as she was before.
While Selina had calmed down, Cecilia became increasingly furious the more she thought about it.
She murmured, "Selina, you're starting to hurt people again. You're doing great harm to people."
The first marriage between Matthew and Selina had ended disastrously because of her.
Now that the two of them had divorced, Matthew could live his own life with peace of mind. However, Selina went to bother him again.
Cecilia would never allow her own daughter to keep messing around like this.
