She was the one who'd set Kylin and Yesseca up.
Selina bit her lip.
If she hadn't been so insistent on it, things may not have turned out to be this ugly.
Even if what she did was from the kindness in her heart.
In the end, however, she'd made the wrong choice.
"I just can't let it go." After a long time, Selina whispered.
Matthew circled his arm around Selina's waist. "Don't worry. Since Yesseca chose to chose to go to Nashaland to be with Tremaine, she has to learn what it means to grow up and face the struggles ahead of her, do you understand?"
She nodded, her eyes a little lost.
Matthew smiled and said, "Let's just get some rest. We've already had to send our baby to your mom, promising her that you'd get a break. We can't let them down."
Since Selina got pregnant again, Cecilia was afraid that their newborn child would disturb Selina.
After all, Cecilia had experienced and went through the same thing Selina was going through. She knew how noisy a newborn baby could be.
Although the Perry family home had servants, Cecilia was still worried. She insisted on bringing the baby over to the Whitlock family house to personally take care of him for a while. She said that she would wait until their second child was born.
At first, Selina and Matthew had been opposed to it, but in the end they could only do as Cecilia asked. Plus, Natalie also mentioned that they haven't been around a child for very long and Cecilia also wanted to take care of a baby, so Selina had no choice but to go with their wishes.
Hearing what Matthew said, Selina smiled bitterly. "I'd better appreciate their kindness then. I'll go to sleep now."
After lying down, Selina suddenly added, "But if I don't get Yesseca's call after five days, I will go to Nashaland and find her."
She had to admit what Matthew said was logical but she was still worried.
Matthew agreed.
He guessed that Yesseca would probably call within five days.
The next day soon arrived.
Matthew went to the company early in the morning.
Selina was still asleep.
During her second pregnancy, Selina had been sleeping more and usually woke up late in the day. Selina had been going to bed late in the night the past few days as she was plagued with Yesseca and Kylin's matter, which in turn had her waking up late that morning.
At about ten in the morning, Erine knocked on the door.
Selina rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Yes, Erine?"
"Miss Whitlock, someone is looking for you," Erine said.
"Who is it?"
"A young girl."
Selina found it weird.
Which young girl was looking for her?
She said, "Bring her into the living room and let her have a seat. I'll be right downstairs."
After Erine left, Selina changed her clothes swiftly and went to the living room after washing up.
When she saw the guest in the living room, she was shocked.
She had never expected that the young girl was Essie.
Seeing Essie, Selina was shocked at first but then she frowned.
She hadn't forgotten that Essie had planned to take her heart. Did Essie come here with ulterior motives?
Selina figured she was overthinking it.
Lothar was completely gone. Essie couldn't do anything no matter how hard she tried.
On top of that, now that Essie was at her home, she probably didn't dare do anything rash.
"Essie, long time no see," Selina greeted sweetly.
Essie had a blank expression on her face.
Selina cut to the chase, "To be frank, Essie, you're not really welcome here. After all, you schemed not just against me but Yesseca as well. If it wasn't for the fact that you did it for the sake of Lothar and saved me that time, I wouldn't have let you off the hook. But in the end, you are Lothar's friend, and you saved me, so I will let go of the hostility harbored between us."
Selina's voice sounded a little tired, "The past is in the past. Essie, I can let it go, you should too."
Essie still did not speak.
Selina called for Erine.
