"Natalie, your wish will come true," Selina couldn't help but say. "You and Tobias have experienced so many hardships. Everything that you wish for will come true in future."
Natalie's eyes flashed. "I hope so. Selina, all your wishes will come true too."
Selina gnawed at her lip. "My only wish now is that I can forget Dylan as soon as possible and let God give me a good man to start anew."
Natalie's breathing hitched slightly.
She had a strong feeling that Selina really meant it this time.
That was because she had never said that she wanted to start a new relationship when she had broken up with Dylan in the past.
Natalie knew that Selina loved Dylan very much. She may have been hurt hundreds of times over by Dylan, yet she still wanted to be with him.
Even so, it didn't mean that Selina would never break free from that dream.
Perhaps all this pain had been building up, and this was her breaking up. She had finally decided to leave Dylan for good.
"Selina, have you really made up your mind?" Natalie asked softly.
There was a flash of determination in Selina's eyes. "Natalie, you don't believe me, do you? That's right, nobody would believe me since I've cried wolf so many times. However, this time I'm actually serious. I have to break up with him."
Natalie's gaze wavered subtly.
After a moment, she held Selina's hand in her own and said, "Selina, I hope you can succeed this time. Good luck."
She didn't like to cause a rift between others, but Selina and Dylan really weren't suitable for each other at all. It was a good thing that Selina was able to wake up.
"You don't have to hope, it'll happen for sure," Selina stated firmly.
"Have you already found someone suitable?" Natalie questioned.
If Selina wanted a new relationship and there was no suitable target in sight, she could ask Cecilia and see if she knew anyone. That was what Natalie was thinking.
Inexplicably, Matthew's face flashed across Selina's brain. She thought of the way he had looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.
Her face instantly flushed red. God, how could she
think of Matthew?
"I..." The moment Selina's words left her mouth, they were stuck in her throat.
D*mn. Speak of the devil, and he would come.
In the distance, Selina saw Matthew walking over towards them. He was surrounded by a few people.
Selina was stunned.
Matthew had just sent her back that morning. How was she bumping into him again?
How could she bump into Matthew while shopping so coincidentally.
Natalie's eyes flashed with confusion when she saw Selina dumbstruck. "Selina, what's wrong?"
Selina forced a smile. "Nothing. Natalie, let's go."
She thought that since Matthew was surrounded by several people, he was probably busy. Thus, she didn't want to disturb Matthew and just pretended that she hadn't seen him.
However, Natalie traced Selina's gaze and saw Matthew.
Her eyes lit up instantly. "Isn't that Matthew?"
Selina was speechless.
Meanwhile, Matthew had also seen Selina and Natalie.
His gaze was deep.
Moments later, he whispered a few words to the managers beside him and walked towards Natalie and Selina.
"What a coincidence." Matthew's voice was clear in a way that put people at ease.
He greeted Natalie and Selina, but his eyes were trained on Selina's face.
Of course, Selina perceived Matthew's gaze, and she blinked rapidly.
Matthew's tall and long legs gave him an overwhelming advantage in terms of height. When he stopped in front of Selina, she felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness.
"What a coincidence indeed," Natalie said with a smile.
She hadn't expected to meet Matthew whilst accompanying Selina on a shopping trip.
"I've come here for business. Are you here to shop?" Matthew asked.
