At that time, her heart had been full of hatred towards Matthew, but now it was full of love.
She began to snicker whenever she thought of it.
Matthew immediately noticed it.
"What are you laughing at?" he asked.
She was a little dazed.
Matthew could almost immediately find out whenever she made any small gestures. For example, when she was distracted or when she snickered.
"Do you pay attention to me all the time? How did you find out?" Selina's voice was full of surprise.
"You only just realized?" Matthew looked at her with a faint smile on his face.
Selina was embarrassed.
"Matthew, do you really like me that much?"
"Yes." His voice was firm.
She was silent for a beat or two.
"Well." She stopped smiling. "I was thinking about the first time I came here with you. Do you remember?" "Yes, I do."
"Do you remember that too?"
Selina thought that he wouldn't remember it.
Matthew's tone was warm and gentle. "I remember every place we've visited, Selina."
She felt like her heartstrings were being tugged. A moment later, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
"I still remember how much I hated you back then, but it's completely different now."
"What state of mind are you in right now?" He asked.
"You know," Selina said, a little embarrassed, as she swallowed.
"I don't." Matthew pretended not to understand.
Selina gritted her teeth. "I like you now."
Matthew laughed all of a sudden.
The smile on his face was radiant.
"I've always been the same." After a while, he said, "I've liked you this entire time."
"Will it stay the same in the future?" She said.
"It won't change for the rest of my life."
There was a look of satisfaction on Selina's face.
Even shopping together in a supermarket felt sweet.
Selina thought of the times when she caught Natalie smiling out of the blue. She hadn't known why at that time, but she finally understood that it was normal for a woman who was in love.
Every now and then, she would feel a sweetness welling up in her heart, and she would smile out of the blue.
However.
She suddenly froze.
It was not the first time that she had fallen in love. Why hadn't she felt this way when she was with Dylan?
When she was in love with Dylan, she had always been in pain and couldn't extricate herself from it. It was completely different from the feeling of being with Matthew.
Her eyes fell on their entwined hands.
Whenever the two of them were together, Matthew would hold her hand all the time, but Dylan wouldn't.
When she thought of this, her eyes grew teary.
In such a sweet moment, tears welled up in her eyes, just when she was just snickering a moment ago.
She suddenly realized something.
It turned out that she had always been wrong. She had always thought that she and Dylan were in love. In fact, they had never been.
