When the moisture in her eyes faded, she looked up.
She said, "Matthew, let's sleep separately in the future,"
Matthew was stunned.
Selina explained, "Maybe it's because of my pregnancy. I just want to sleep alone. Can you promise me that?"
She looked at Matthew motionlessly.
Matthew joked, "Can you handle my absence, little girl?"
"I can handle it."
"Okay." Matthew agreed. "Then I'll sleep in the other bedroom. Call me if you need anything."
Selina nodded.
Matthew held Selina's face and kissed it. "Remember to tell me if something is wrong. You can vent your anger on me."
After that, he left.
When Matthew's figure completely disappeared, Selina's nose twitched.
She almost cried.
In the end, she didn't.
She had already told Yesseca to be strong and not cry. How could she not practise what she preached!
The next day, Matthew didn't go to the company.
No matter what Selina said, Matthew refused to go. He insisted on accompanying her.
In the end, Selina became furious.
She smashed the glass vase on the tea table and it shattered into pieces. "I asked you to go to work, don't you understand? I don't want you to accompany me, I just want peace for myself. You said that you would do everything I say! Why can't you do it?"
Matthew didn't expect Selina to have such a huge reaction.
He didn't react for a while.
When Erine heard the sound of something smashing, she ran out and was frightened by what she saw.
She pleaded, "Miss Whitlock, don't be angry. You can't get angry now because you are pregnant. Otherwise, it will hurt your body,"
Selina's gaze was as sharp as a knife. She glared at Erine and said, "Get out of my way. You're just a servant. It's not your turn to speak!"
Erine's face suddenly turned pale.
She murmured, "I'll go. Miss Whitlock, don't be angry with me. I'll go,"
Erine staggered away.
Selina looked at Matthew, "You go away too,"
However, Matthew didn't leave.
He strode towards Selina and hugged her.
His hot breath instantly enveloped Selina.
Selina was stunned.
Her facade fell off and the pain was evident on her face.
Matthew pressed his chin against Selina's forehead. "Are you acting this way because you're pregnant? Selina, tell me when something is on your mind. What happened to you?"
Selina's heartbeat quickened.
Was Matthew already suspicious?
No, she couldn't make Matthew suspect anything.
Selina lifted her head. "I'm fine. I didn't sleep well last night so I'm a little dizzy. You'd better go to work. I can rest by myself."
Matthew stared deeply at Selina. It seemed that he was trying to determine if Selina was telling the truth.
After a long time, he looked away. "Okay, I'll go to
work."
After Matthew left, Selina fell on the sofa.
