Yesseca's answer was the same as ever.
"Selina, I don't like to just spend my time at home doing nothing. I like to work and mingle with people. Staying at the hospital for a long time bored me to death. Now that I get a chance at life, why won't I go to work?"
Listening to Yesseca's words, Selina could only sigh lightly.
Every time she advised Yesseca not to go through so much trouble, Yesseca would say the same thing and Selina had no choice but to let things go her way.
Yesseca was leaving at around ten.
Selina ordered the driver to wait by the door. She walked Yesseca out to the door but stumbled upon Matthew unexpectedly.
Matthew looked travel-worn.
The moment Selina's eyes landed on Matthew, her heart fluttered and she felt giddy.
She strode in quick steps towards Matthew and immediately threw herself into his arms.
Yesseca found the situation a little awkward.
Didn't they say that a pair of new lovers would stick close to each other like glue but would get distant with each other once they were married? Yesseca felt that that wasn't the case for both Selina and Matthew.
They had been together for so long and Selina was pregnant, but it was evident they still loved each other so much.
Yesseca couldn't help but smile.
She was glad that Selina was happy.
That was good.
Her brother had always hoped that Selina would live happily when he was alive. Now that Selina was living a good life, her brother would be able to rest in peace.
"Do you miss me?" Matthew's deep voice sounded above Selina's head.
Selina lifted her small head and said, "No, I didn't."
"No?" Matthew looked at Selina with a faint smile. "If you didn't, then why did you pounce on me the moment you saw me?"
Selina found herself caught.
Matthew poked her forehead and said, "You're always lying and never telling me what you truly feel."
Selina blinked her eyes. "Weren't you supposed to be away for a week? Why are you back in less than two days?" "Because I miss you too much, just like how you miss me. That's why I came back early."
Selina was shy. "Nobody missed you."
"Who's the nobody?"
"I don't know."
"I know, it's the person in front of me."
"Who is she?"
Matthew pinched her waist. "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Selina burst into laughter.
When she laughed, she saw from the corner of her eyes that Yesseca was still around.
Selina felt awkward.
She was very embarrassed.
Why was she so engrossed in chatting with Matthew? She had completely forgotten that Yesseca was still there.
Selina faked a cough. "Yesseca is here."
Only then did Matthew notice Yesseca.
He said in a gentle voice, "Yesseca, you're here."
"Yes, Matthew." Yesseca smiled sweetly.
Since Matthew had returned, Selina asked
Matthew to send Yesseca back. She would also follow along for the drive.
Initially, Yesseca did not agree, but because Selina insisted, she could only go Selina's way.
After sending Yesseca off, Matthew drove back to their house.
When they arrived at a park, Matthew stopped and said, "The moon is pretty tonight. Let's go for a walk."
"Okay," Selina agreed.
She happened to be bored at home.
