Matthew's question made it impossible for Selina to answer.
She stopped and didn't say a word.
Matthew tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear and said in a charming voice, "Little girl, you have to trust that you still like me. It's just that too many things have happened recently, which made you confused. Now promise me that you won't overthink, okay? We can live a good life and not worry about anything. I will spoil you and love you for a lifetime, so that you will be like a little princess all your life. Isn't this good? Why bother torturing yourself?"
Selina pinched her palm.
She lifted her head and looked at Matthew. Under the moonlight, her pale face was suffused with a faint light. "Matthew, what if I've changed my mind?"
"You won't change your mind."
"I'm telling you, I've changed my mind! I'm a woman who likes the new and dislikes the old. I've just gotten sick of you!"
Matthew sighed.
He held Selina in his arms, and his low and gentle voice rang over Selina's head. "If you have really changed your mind, then I will wait. I will wait for as long as I have to. I met you when you were sixteen. I've waited for so long, do you think I care about waiting for a while longer?"
Matthew's words were like a dagger that drove through Selina's heart.
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears were about to burst out.
"Selina, for the sake of our child, don't cause any more trouble, okay? I haven't been enough recently, but if you like, I can skip work and put down everything to accompany you all the time. Promise me, okay?"
"The child!"
These two words suddenly brought Selina to her senses.
She abruptly withdrew her tears that were about to burst out.
She suddenly pushed Matthew away. "Matthew, even if I've changed my mind and no longer like you, you still want me?"
"Silly, I want you anyway."
Selina's eyelashes trembled.
It seemed that she had embarrassed Prine and
Ludwik. Even Bowie's appearance couldn't disappoint Matthew. She could only...
Selina looked at Matthew's handsome face and finally made up her mind.
She raised the corner of her lips. "Well, go to the company tomorrow and hand everything over to your subordinates. From the day after tomorrow, you will accompany me every day until I give birth to the child."
Matthew was overjoyed when he thought that Selina had finally changed her mind. He hugged Selina again and said, "Selina, I know you still love me, but I haven't cared enough about you recently. It's all my fault. I'll change,"
That evening, Selina finally agreed to sleep with Matthew.
Throughout the night, Matthew held Selina in his arms tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his arms.
This night, Selina had a good sleep.
Because she knew that this might be their last night together.
The next day soon arrived.
Selina woke up in Matthew's embrace.
When she opened her eyes, Matthew kissed her gently on the cheek. "Is the little girl awake?"
Selina nodded her head.
"I'll make breakfast for you. What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
"Anything again." Matthew smiled helplessly. "Get up in half an hour. I will make breakfast for you first."
Selina didn't get up in half an hour as Matthew instructed. As soon as Matthew left, she got up.
She folded the sheets neatly on the bed.
When it was properly folded, she walked around the spacious bedroom again, as if she wanted to imprint all the decorations in her heart.
Half an hour later, Selina went downstairs.
Matthew had already prepared breakfast.
