Lothar never failed to cheer Selina up. Their little meet up had instantly put Selina in a good mood.
Matthew sent Saoirse and Liselle back to their villa.
Before leaving, Saoirse stared at Matthew with her deep eyes, "Come in and have a seat. I'm very lonely in this huge villa. Please accompany me."
Liselle also chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Perry. Come in and have a seat with Miss Saoirse."
"Sorry, Saoirse. I'll take my leave first," Matthew's voice was deep and hoarse.
Saoirse's face was very disappointed.
She forced a smile and said, "Okay William, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you no matter what."
After Matthew left, Liselle immediately asked Saoirse, "Miss Saoirse, why didn't you tell Mr. William about what Mr. Perry told us?"
She shook her head and warned, "There's no need."
Liselle was anxious, "We want to know what's going on. He should give us an explanation."
"Liselle, William is a good man."
Liselle objected, "How could a good man let you down? How can he still have a mistress?"
A hint of sadness flashed across Saoirse's eyes, "Although he has mistresses, but it doesn't make him less of a good man. He told me that he had amnesia. He had forgotten that he has me and thus found another lover."
"But didn't he remember it now? Then, he should break up with that woman and be with you, Miss Saoirse."
"How can things be so simple?" Saoirse murmured.
She gave Liselle a warning look again, "If I don't say anything, you should not say anything to William either."
Liselle gulped and looked indignant.
Matthew's car sped across the highway.
Not long after, he stopped on the side of an empty road.
Matthew took out his phone.
He should have called Selina earlier, but he had been with Saoirse all day. He was filled with guilt hence did not call her.
He tried to make a call then, but the phone was turned off.
Matthew frowned.
He knew that Selina must be angry.
He used to dote on Selina, but now, he was acting cold towards her. It was no surprise that she was mad at him.
Matthew immediately called his assistant.
The assistant's heart jumped when he heard Matthew's instruction.
It seemed that he had said something wrong before.
The assistant told Matthew everything, "Mr. Perry, Miss Whitlock came to the office at noon to look for you. I, I told her that you would not be at the office for a few days. Did I say something wrong?" Matthew rubbed his temple. He was tired.
He could not blame his assistant for this. After all, the assistant was only telling the truth.
"It's okay. Can you check where she is now?" Matthew ordered.
Twenty minutes later, the assistant called back.
"Mr. Perry, we've found Miss Whitlock's phone in your office, but she's already gone. Unfortunately, she's not carrying her phone with her now, so it's impossible to locate her."
Matthew pursed his thin lips tightly.
"I see," Then, he hung up the phone.
He dialed Natalie's number and learned that Selina had not gone to the Whitlock family home.
A bad feeling overwhelmed his heart.
Matthew immediately drove back to the Perry family villa.
Upon reaching the Perry family home, Matthew could not find Selina's presence anywhere.
Matthew ran into Prine when he hurried downstairs.
"Mr. Perry, you're back?" Prine asked in surprise.
"Yes," Matthew was about to leave when he suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Prine, when did Selina leave?"
Prine was even more surprised, "Didn't Miss Whitlock meet you? She mentioned that she would bring you lunch at noon. Did you guys not meet?"
Matthew's heart froze.
It turned out that at noon, Selina had went to deliver lunch to him.
