But her anger only lasted for a moment. After Matthew spoke, her anger actually faded away bit by bit. Even she did not notice this happening.
The sincerity and guilt in his eyes made her emotions change.
Selina felt muddled.
After a while, she said, "Well, since you can't control yourself this time, we'll put this behind us and I'll give you a chance to send me back now."
"Alright," Matthew agreed without hesitation.
"Don't hold my hands again," She added.
"Alright," Matthew agreed without hesitation again.
He sent Selina back.
When they arrived at the Whitlock family's villa, Selina added before getting out of the car, "Don't contact me for these two days, and don't call or text me too."
She did this to test Matthew. She wanted to see how much Matthew could give in for her.
However, she did not expect that there was only a flash of indecisiveness in Matthew's eyes. After a while, he said calmly, "Alright."
He glanced at Selina. "Have a good rest these two days. Don't think too much. I'll come to see you on the third day.
Selina didn't know what to say anymore.
She knew that a man like Matthew was in a high position, and was not someone who would give in easily to women. He had dignity and pride.
Although he looked affable, these virtues were nevertheless present within him.
However, the way he gave in to Selina surprised her.
Although it was a big deal to her that he kissed her earlier, to Matthew, it might not have been a big deal at all.
Nevertheless, even so, Matthew did not say anything about her extreme reaction. Instead, he apologized to her.
Matthew accepted everything he said. Why was he giving into her so easily?
Another way of putting it was that he was "pampering" her.
Selina's emotions felt complicated.
She nodded and went home.
When she got back, Cecilia asked where Selina had gone, but she did not want to say.
She thought, no one would have thought that she went with Matthew.
If she did, this might surprise them.
Selina decided not to say anything.
She didn't want to see everyone's shocked expressions. What's more, although she had promised Matthew tonight, nothing was certain yet.
"I went out with friends," Selina replied casually.
Cecilia hesitated for a moment and said, "Selina, is there anyone you like from the photos I showed you today?"
"Of course not. Mom, didn't I say I will find someone myself?" Selina replied. She was speechless.
Cecilia sighed and said, "Selina, don't blame me for saying too much. The one I picked for you is the most outstanding one. If you find someone by yourself, you may not find such a good one. You'd better have a look at the one I picked for you."
Selina was quiet.
She twitched the corner of her mouth. What was that supposed to mean, why would she be unable to find someone good by herself?
Matthew's appearance and family background were better than those men in the photos. The only weakness in her choice after a comparison was that the man Cecilia chose for her was about the same age as her.
However, Matthew was obviously a few years older than these men.
Nevertheless, his qualities were enough to make up for all this, not to mention that Matthew, who was older, had the charm of a mature man, and not an innocent boy.
Hang on...
Selina realized something.
