"Mom," Matthew spoke up. "It's just a small conflict between husband and wife. Rest assured that we will fix this ourselves."
Matthew's words comforted Cecilia until Selina spoke up. "Mom, you don't have to do anything because I am going to divorce Matthew. It's hopeless."
Cecilia's face turned pale.
Natalie was also anxious.
How could Selina be so stubborn! They had discussed it for so long, yet Selina still stood her ground!
Matthew's gaze fell directly on Selina's face. His tone was low and emotionless. "Selina, we can't be divorced. You forgot that I tore up our marriage certificate when we got married. We have no chance of divorce."
Selina smiled and said casually, "You and I aren't like normal people, do you think there's no way if we really wanted a divorce?"
"Selina, I won't agree to the divorce."
"That's why I've thought of a way to get your approval. I invited Bowie to our house this day as a way to create an opportunity for the both of you."
Matthew's gaze instantly grew frigid.
Selina was practically driving a knife through his heart by mentioning Bowie's visit the other day!
Crash!
Cecilia smashed the cup on the tea table. "Selina. What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to piss me off?"
Selina lifted her head and looked at Cecilia. "Mom, I don't want to make you angry. I want you to live to be a hundred years old. I want you to live to have grandchildren."
"Then what's this nonsense you're talking about now?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Although I am your daughter, I make my own decisions about my marriage. You can't force me to be with anyone. I no longer have feelings for Matthew. Do you want to kill me?"
"You're right, I do want to kill you now. How could I give birth to a child like you? What's wrong with Matthew? Why do you want to divorce him? Are you aware that you are still pregnant with his child?"
"Mom, so what? I just no longer have feelings. I think that Bowie and Matthew are quite compatible. Since you enjoy matchmaking, you can bring them together!"
Cecilia and Selina bickered with each other and left no chance for others to speak. After hearing what Selina said, Cecilia's anger reached its peak.
She lost control of herself, picked up the teacups on the table and threw it at Selina.
She regretted it as soon as she threw it, but it was too late.
Crash!
Selina was unharmed as Matthew shielded her.
The teacup smashed onto Matthew's arm and shattered in an instant. One sharp piece stabbed into Matthew's skin, causing blood to immediately flow out of it.
Cecilia's face immediately turned pale. " Matthew, are you okay?"
Matthew's gaze was gloomy beyond compare. "Mom, I'm fine."
Selina was stunned as she stared blankly at Matthew's bleeding arm.
Tobias responded quickly and asked the in-house doctor to wrap up Matthew's wound.
The dispute between Selina and Cecilia finally ended because of Matthew's injury.
