There were hidden emotions behind his smile.
However, since Matthew didn't say anything, she had to pretend that she didn't know anything either.
When they arrived at the Whitlock family, Natalie and Cecilia felt guilty when they saw that Selina was accompanied by Matthew.
Cecilia said dryly, "Matthew, why are you here? How come you didn't go to the company?"
"There's nothing to do there, so I came with Selina." Matthew's voice was gentle.
"Oh, I see." Cecilia smiled awkwardly.
Fortunately, Natalie spoke up. "Mom, I'll make some coffee for Matthew. By the way, didn't you say that you wanted Selina to try on the clothes you bought for her? Why don't you let her try it now?"
Cecilia patted her head and said, "Yes, I did buy clothes."
She looked at Selina. "Matthew can drink coffee downstairs while Selina and I go up to try it on."
Selina knew that Cecilia was just using the clothes as an excuse, but she didn't expose her on the spot. She just obliged. "Okay." "Then, Matthew, you can sit down first," Cecilia said to Matthew.
Matthew smiled. "It's okay. Mom, you can get back to whatever you were doing."
Cecilia took Selina to the dressing room upstairs. The moment they arrived, she closed the door. The smile on her face disappeared instantly. "Selina, what are you doing? Why are you meeting that man again?"
Selina pursed her lips and said nothing.
Cecilia's heart was filled with shock and suspicion.
Last night, when she saw the news, Natalie comforted her and said that it was just a coincidence. Selina had been living peacefully with Matthew and there was no place for anyone else in her heart.
Cecilia believed Natalie's words.
She was questioning Selina. Even if Selina gave an excuse, Cecilia would believe her instantly.
However, Cecilia's suspicion grew when Selina pursed her lips and remained silent.
She raised her voice and said, "Explain to me why you met the man last night, especially at a couple's cafe. Selina, what were you trying to do?"
Selina lowered her gaze to cover up the emotions in her eyes.
Her voice was faint, "Mom, what do you think it means? What do you think of the meeting between Dylan and I?"
Cecilia felt her head explode.
She looked at Selina as if she were a madman. "Selina, you're crazy!"
Cecilia pointed at Selina's belly and said, "Selina, you're already married to Matthew. You're still pregnant with Matthew's child. How can you say that to me!"
Selina looked down and her gaze fell on her flat abdomen.
Her gaze was somewhat blank.
Perhaps she was going to get rid of the lifeless child in her belly soon.
Despair engulfed Selina.
In that moment of despair, a smile appeared on Selina's face.
Cecilia was shocked when she saw Selina's smile.
She placed her hand on Selina's forehead. "Selina, are you running a high fever? Are you talking nonsense? Don't scare me!"
Selina removed Cecilia's hand.
She looked at Cecilia and said, "Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. I just feel that Matthew and I aren't meant to be together. He should find a more suitable woman for him. I'm not that compatible with him,"
Cecilia shuddered.
