Selina took the diamond ring out from the cake.
She could see that it was a huge diamond, and it was obviously very expensive.
"Is this for me?"
"Of course it is."
Matthew took the diamond ring out and said, "Let me put it on for you."
Selina held out her hand.
Matthew put the ring on her finger and said, "It's beautiful."
"The diamond ring is indeed really beautiful," Selina said.
Even though she was born in a rich family, and she had seen much of the world, it was still rare for her to see such a big diamond.
"I meant that your hand is beautiful," Matthew corrected her.
Selina was speechless at once.
Her cheeks was flushed red.
"Little girl, let me take care of you in the future. I won't abandon you no matter what happens." Matthew said his words in a deep voice, which made it sound like an oath.
Selina hesitated for a moment.
"But how about Saoirse..."
Before she could finish her words, Matthew stopped her, "No matter who it is, no one could change me and the decision I've made."
There was a faint glimmer in Selina's eyes.
She then nodded.
"Thank you for everything you have prepared for me. This is the first time that I've enjoyed such a meaningful birthday celebration." Selina expressed her gratitude towards Matthew.
However, Matthew felt really guilty.
"It should have been a grander celebration, but I am still stuck in the hospital now. I will prepare you a grand and unforgettable birthday celebration next year."
Selina shook her head. "This birthday was really unforgettable. I'm really happy."
Matthew cut her a piece of cake. "Have some of the cake."
Selina tried some of the cake. It was very delicious.
She also fed some to Matthew. "You should try it as well."
Moments later, Selina then thought of something. "Your coffee is still in the car. I'll go get it for you."
She was too anxious just now, thus she forgot to bring the coffee when she got off the car.
Matthew held her hand and said, "It's okay. Instead of coffee, I'd rather you keep me company."
"Okay then, I'll stay with you."
"Not only now, but for a lifetime." Matthew's deep gaze fell on her face. "I've done too much wrong. I'm really afraid that you wouldn't be wiling to be with me."
"I'm willing to." There was no hesitation in her. "You can rest assured that I'll definitely be willing to."
Matthew hugged her. "Tell me, little girl, how could I be so lucky?"
"In fact, it's lucky for me to have met you."
Matthew smiled bitterly.
He murmured, "I wonder if it's a lucky thing or unfortunate thing for you to have met me."
His marriage with Saoirse had caused Selina to be a mistress, and it made her suffer so much undeservingly.
Selina reached out her hand and covered Matthew's mouth. "You are not allowed to say that. It's my fortune to have met you."
There was a hint of stubbornness in her tone.
Matthew could only compromise. "Okay then, how fortunate for both of us."
At the same time, a glimmer flashed across Matthew's eyes.
No matter how difficult it was, he would still want it to be a fortunate thing for Selina to have met him.
The boy, who looked like a white and fluffy ball, was brought back to the mansion.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw a pair of slender legs in slacks appearing before himself.
