After a long while, Natalie finally forced out a sentence, "Selina! You and Matthew have gone through so much together, now that everything's fine, why do you want to break up with him? If this was the case, you didn't have to go through all that in the beginning! Everything you suffered was for nothing!"
Selina said softly, "Natalie, Matthew and I got through so much together because I had feelings for him. That's why nothing could break us apart. Now that I no longer have feelings for him, we won't last even if nothing goes wrong."
"Selina, are you serious?"
"Natalie, I am very serious."
Natalie took a deep breath.
Her mind was in a mess at the moment. She didn't know what to say.
After a long time, she finally spoke, "Selina, let's not talk about this anymore. Matthew is still downstairs. Let's go downstairs first."
Nothing would come of this conversation with Selina, so she decided to see the way they conversed. She wanted to see how things were going between them.
As soon as she got downstairs, Selina noticed Bowie.
Bowie stood in the distance and stared at Matthew.
Selina's eyes moved slightly, and lightning flashed through her mind.
She knew that Bowie wasn't worthy of standing by Matthew, and Matthew would never fall for her.
But...
Selina's eyes deepened.
"Natalie, Selina, you two have come down." Matthew also turned to look at Selina and Natalie. He stood up.
Natalie smiled awkwardly at Matthew, and then she looked at Selina again.
It was hard to tell what was on Selina's mind.
Matthew looked at her with a faint smile. "Little girl, what's on your mind?"
After that, he caressed Selina's cheek.
Selina came back to her senses.
She glanced at Matthew. "Nothing."
After that, she sensed a jealous gaze on her.
Natalie and Matthew also noticed it.
Matthew looked helpless.
Since just now, he had sensed Bowie standing in the distance and looking at him motionlessly. He didn't know what to say.
But Bowie was Natalie's sister after all. Matthew could only pretend to not see her.
Natalie also noticed Bowie's gaze.
She was speechless.
Selina suddenly said, "You guys chat first, I'm going to the bathroom."
She heard footsteps when she walked to the bathroom.
She immediately turned around.
Indeed it was Bowie who was behind her.
Selina sneered in her heart.
She knew that Bowie would follow.
Since Bowie was confident, she decided to use her.
She wanted to use this mean woman to make Matthew and the Whitlock family completely disappointed in her. When she left, everyone would be disheartened and no one would look for her or mention her name again.
This was much better than accepting the pain of her death.
"Bowie." Selina called out.
Bowie raised the corner of her eyes and said, "I'm telling you, Matthew is mine. You have to be tactful."
"Since he is yours, why didn't you talk to him? Why did you come over?"
Bowie was stunned, and embarrassment washed over her face.
