What kind of twisted logic was that? She had never heard of it before!
Matthew smiled. "It's easy to lose control after drinking, so a proper man wouldn't drink casually."
After saying that, he gave Selina a deep stare, an ambiguous vibe in his gaze.
Selina wasn't buying it.
She retorted directly, "I think your logic is just not right. Come, drink with me!"
She straight up grabbed a bottle of wine and put it in front of Matthew.
Matthew's gaze fell on the bottle of wine. "Aren't you afraid that I might lose control after getting drunk?"
His voice suddenly turned a little hoarse, like that of a beast lurking in the darkness.
Selina broke out into a laugh.
"You want to take advantage of me? In your dreams. Come on, drink with me, Matthew."
Matthew smiled helplessly.
Selina's confidence really made him see that she was spoiled rotten.
Due to her superior upbringing, Selina was overconfident to the point that even when she was drinking in a man's house, she was not afraid at all.
"Okay, I'll drink with you," Matthew said.
His tone subconsciously carried a doting hint.
Selina couldn't remember how many bottles of wine she had gulped down. In the end, she became a little tipsy.
Everything in front of her also became somewhat blurry.
She stared at the man in front of her and suddenly felt as if there were countless images of him.
After a while, those images disappeared, and the man in front of her turned into Dylan.
She was stunned.
Dylan... Why was he there?
"Dylan?" Selina murmured subconsciously.
Meanwhile, Matthew's gaze froze.
Although he had been drinking with Selina, he still wasn't drunk.
Matthew knew that it was easy to lose control under the influence of alcohol, especially when consuming it with a woman he liked.
Therefore, Matthew did not let himself get drunk.
He was stunned when he heard her say "Dylan".
After a moment, he felt that he was overthinking. How could Dylan and Selina know each other?
"Selina, what did you say?" Matthew asked again, feeling restless.
Selina bit her lips and gazed at Matthew.
Since she was biting her lips, they looked even redder, carrying a fleeting temptation.
She stared at Matthew and looked at him carefully. Only then did she realize that although the man in front of her was somewhat similar to Dylan, he was not Dylan.
The lines of his face were not as hard and unruly as Dylan's. Instead, they looked a little more gentle.
"Nothing," Selina whispered. "I want to sleep."
After drinking a good amount, the exhaustion had crept up to her, and Selina felt like sleeping.
"I'll send you back," Matthew said.
Selina nodded. She was already about to close her eyes.
Seeing Selina's state, Matthew subconsciously looked out of the window again. At that moment, the sky was already dark, and his mansion was quite far from the Whitlock family villa. He guessed that Selina would probably fall asleep in the car on the way back, which would just create more problems for him.
"Selina, why don't you sleep here? I'll arrange a bedroom for you."
Right then, Selina felt very drowsy, so she just nodded. "I want to sleep. I'm so tired."
Matthew told his servants to tidy up the guest room and brought Selina there.
Selina was really drunk. She couldn't even walk straight. In the end, Matthew had to support Selina.
Having reached the side of the bed, Matthew put her down carefully.
