"Then let her make her own choices. Selina, you're not Yesseca. You can't control her life. I told you that Lothar asked you to take care of Yesseca, but not to press your own ideas to Yesseca. Of course, if you know any suitable men, you can introduce him to Yesseca. However, you still have to let her fall in love freely."
Selina couldn't help but say, "I can't win against you. You're right."
"Really?" Selina raised the corners of her eyes and looked at Matthew. "Why do I feel that you are talking nonsense?"
"A man that spouts nonsense, yet you still married him?" Matthew looked at Selina with a faint smile.
Selina touched Matthew's face lightly. "Because you are handsome."
Matthew found the situation outrageous.
Selina's other hand caressed Matthew's body. "And you have a good figure."
Matthew grabbed Selina's hand, and a bright glimmer flashed in his eyes. "Are you taking advantage of your pregnancy to tease me and not taking responsibility for it afterwards?"
"That's right." The corners of Selina's lips curled up.
Matthew felt helpless.
He gently caressed Selina's hands. "You're still so naughty."
"Is that good?"
"It's good."
"Why? I'm like a child who won't grow up."
"Then I'll always treat you as a child and spoil you."
"When I am very old, will you also spoil me like a child?"
"Of course, in the eyes of others, you are very old. But in my eyes, you are still a child."
Selina smiled sweetly.
Her smile was sincere and full of love.
The moon that night was round and bright.
But all of that was second to the fact that Selina knew that she had the man she loved most next to her. They both huddled with each other and talked.
Sometimes the greatest things in the world were simply the simplest.
The paternity test results came out.
Qiana and Montez were mother and son.
Qiana had proposed to meet Montez.
She said, "I won't take the child away. I just want to bring the child to meet my so-called father and make him furious. He failed to live up to my mother's wishes."
Noel was not interested in listening to Qiana's family matters.
He also knew that Tremaine would never allow it.
How could the flesh and blood of the Quartley family be a tool for others to retaliate, even if this woman was Montez's mother?
Noel handed Qiana a check and said, "Miss Lanes, you don't have to think about it. That is impossible. However, this check is your compensation fee."
Qiana hesitated.
After a moment, she smiled and said, "You don't have to give me the check. I forgot that I did such a thing in the heat of the moment. You came to me that time and that made me recall this matter. Since you don't want to, we'll just let things end."
With that, Qiana turned and left.
Thirty minutes later, Qiana returned to the Lanes Family.
Wesley immediately went forward and said,
"Qiana, did you see Tremaine? Go and plead to him for me. That damned old man of mine messed with Tremaine outside. Help me make things better."
Qiana smiled. "Dad, I didn't get to see Tremaine."
Wesley's expression changed instantly, and his voice was not as kind as before. "What did you say? You said you were the mother of Tremaine's child and you would be Tremaine's wife! Why didn't you get to see him? Are you kidding me?"
Qiana's expression did not change. "Father, how could I have the guts to lie to you? I'm telling the truth. It's just that Tremaine isn't easy to fool. How could someone like you, a mayor, not understand this?"
Wesley suppressed his anger.
He took a thoughtful look at Qiana and said, "It's best you don't lie to me, or else I won't just acknowledge you as my daughter for nothing."
