Erine said hurriedly, "Mr. Matthew, look carefully. This is Miss Godfrey, not Miss Whitlock."
After that, Erine wiped her tears and said, "This is sinful. How did Mr. Matthew become like this after Miss Whitlock left?"
At this moment, Matthew didn't look like the wise man he used to be.
Natalie looked at Matthew, who was so nervous that he almost couldn't breathe.
After some time, Matthew gradually regained his senses as if he had just woken up from a drunken stupor.
He looked at Natalie and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Natalie?"
Natalie nodded and said, "Matthew, I am Natalie."
"Sorry, Natalie." Matthew said in a low voice. "I mistook you for someone else."
"It's fine." Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be best if Matthew could wake up.
"Natalie, why are you here?" Matthew asked.
After that, he looked at Erine and said, "Erine, make a cup of coffee for Miss Godfrey."
When Erine saw that Matthew finally woke up, she was relieved. She immediately said, "Okay, I'll go get coffee right away."
Natalie held a cup of coffee in her hand, and her cold palm warmed up.
She looked at Matthew carefully.
The man's expression made her feel sorry for him, but at the same time, her heart became somewhat unstable.
Was Selina being too cruel?
If she didn't tell Matthew anything, would it be more torturous for him?
Just as Natalie was distracted, Matthew opened his mouth and said, "Natalie, why are you here?"
Natalie came to her senses and said, "No reason, I just came to see you."
Matthew smiled sarcastically. "Natalie, what's there to see?"
Natalie's heart was a little sad. She said, "Matthew, please stop. If Selina sees your current state, she will definitely be upset."
Matthew became more sarcastic, "Why would she care? If she did, she wouldn't..."
Matthew's voice trailed off. He was too upset that he couldn't continue.
Natalie tightened her grip on the coffee cup and said, "Matthew, since you know that Selina doesn't care, you should cheer up. You're just hurting yourself now. Erine told me that you would get drunk everyday. You still have a family and a company to manage. You can't do this."
Matthew's expression was a little sad. "Natalie, I know I have to cheer up, but I have no idea how. I once dreamed of watching the sunrise and sunset with Selina everyday; to travel all around the world with her. After the child's birth, we would live happily together. But I didn't expect that everything would be just a dream. I stayed in the dream and couldn't get out of it at all."
Natalie put down the cup of coffee. "But you have to even if you can't, Matthew. You are a man. Men can't be immersed in romance everyday. If you are really a man, you have to come out of it."
Matthew fell silent.
After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Natalie, thank you. I understand. It's getting late, I'll ask the driver to send you back. Tobias will worry about you."
Natalie knew that Matthew was asking her to leave.
She stood up. "I have a driver waiting for me outside. Take good care of yourself, Matthew. You must pull yourself together."
Matthew also stood up.
He ignored her, but said, "I'll send you off."
When they almost reached the door, Natalie stopped and said, "Okay, Matthew, you can head back inside."
"Be careful."
Natalie walked forward.
After a few steps, Matthew stopped her.
Natalie turned around and said, "Matthew, is there anything else?"
Under the faint moonlight, Matthew's pupils were somewhat invisible. "Natalie, is Selina's body recovering well?"
