Selina wasn't even aware there was such a big matter happening!
Matthew felt his throat tighten.
"Madam Lawson, I will take care of this," his voice was hoarse.
Cecilia stared into Matthew's eyes, "Listen to me, Matthew. I don't want you to take care of this now, it is useless. I want you to leave my daughter. I repeat, I want you to leave my daughter," she said firmly.
Matthew's heart clenched.
His voice turned raspy, "Madam Lawson, I can't agree with you on this."
"Matthew Perry! Are you going to push Selina into the fire? Don't you know that this will ruin Selina? Do you even know what you are doing?" Cecilia hissed at him.
Cecilia's words were like a slap to him.
He felt that it was even harder to breathe.
After a long silence, Matthew opened his mouth again.
"Madam Lawson, I know you are blaming me, I blame myself too, but I can't give up on Selina. I love her and she loves me too," he said.
"But you still have a wife," Cecelia retorted.
"Madam Lawson, I will divorce her, my marriage with Saoirse was a mistake. Please forgive me, but my promise still stands. I love Selina and I will protect her forever. Even though there are hardships now, we will definitely overcome this," Matthew's voice was firm.
The word "mistake" stunned Cecilia.
She suddenly recalled her actions in the past.
It was also a mistake.
Cecilia's attitude softened when she looked at Matthew again.
This time, she even pleaded with him, "Matthew, please understand a mother's worries."
Cecilia's words were like a stab into Matthew's heart.
He suddenly couldn't breathe or speak.
The night gradually darkened.
Matthew and Selina left the Whitlock family home.
Matthew was silent along the way.
Selina didn't know what Cecilia and Matthew had discussed. She wanted to ask Matthew but kept silent after she saw his expression.
The road home was silent.
When they were about to reach the Perry family home, Matthew suddenly stopped the car.
He pulled Selina into an embrace before she could question him.
He embraced her tightly; it was as if he wanted to mold her into him.
Selina was made breathless.
She pushed Matthew's shoulder and said, "I can't breathe."
Matthew loosened his hold on her.
However, he still kept her in his embrace.
His voice was rough, "Selina, I'm a b*stard."
Selina held in a breath.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" she faltered.
"It's not nonsense," Matthew's voice was hoarse.
He had let Selina and Saoirse down; he had even let Cecilia down.
Selina patted on Matthew's back, "Matthew, do you still remember that we agreed to overcome everything together?" she comforted him.
"I remember." Matthew released Selina.
He cupped Selina's face and stared into her eyes, "Selina, we will definitely be able to overcome anything together."
His words were firm, but it was also tinged with doubt.
Selina nodded vigorously.
Rainee saw the news during the day.
Her stomach was getting bigger.
She had already given up on Matthew.
However, at the same time, her hatred for Selina was still strong.
She blamed everything on Selina.
If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't be in this situation now.
If it wasn't for Selina, her future would still be bright.
Raines's eyes widened after she saw the news.
