She was not belittling her daughter, but she really thought that Selina had struck gold when she landed Matthew as a boyfriend. How would she reject him? She was absolutely elated.
Her elation and excitement had just been temporarily overshadowed by the shock of these events.
Cecilia replied without hesitation, "Matthew, I can really rest assured if I hand Selina over to you. If your relationship is true, I'll absolutely agree and give my blessing."
Matthew smiled and said clearly, "Madam Lawson, thank you."
Selina, who was sitting beside Matthew, curled the corners of her lips.
This wasn't normal.
Most mothers would say things like how the man should take care of their daughter, otherwise the mother would disagree with their relationship.
However, her mother seemed more than eager to hand her over to Matthew, as though she was happy to let Selina marry him just like that.
Selina was speechless.
Matthew looked at Tobias and Natalie. He slightly smiled and said in a soft but formal tone, "Tobias, Natalie, as Selina's brother and sister-in-law, I hope to get your approval and blessing for our relationship."
Tobias directly stood up. He strode over to Matthew and gave him a hug.
It was an interesting scene to watch two handsome men embrace each other.
Tobias said calmly, "I know you best, Matthew. I don't have to worry about handing Selina over you."
After that, he looked at Selina. "Selina, Matthew is definitely a good man whom you deserve and ought to cherish," he said
Selina did not say anything.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
This seemed to be a complete mess.
Shouldn't Tobias say something else to Matthew?
She felt that he should say something like, "Matthew, my sister is an amazing woman that you deserve, and you must cherish her."
Why was it the other way around?
Selina was speechless, really speechless.
Both her mother and brother behaved in the same way. She felt helpless and speechless.
Meanwhile, Natalie said, "Matthew, of course I will wish you both well. I was always thinking about when Selina could find her own happiness. I didn't expect that she would find it so fast. I'm really happy that she met you. I'm very happy for you, congratulations."
"Alright!" Selina could not take it anymore.
Everyone behaved as though she had struck gold. They were so happy that they put Matthew on a pedestal like a god, and Selina was just an ordinary mortal. The entire Whitlock family was about to sing his praises.
Selina complained, "I just have a boyfriend. I'm not married yet. You don't have to be so excited."
Selina did not express her true feelings, she just found a different way to voice out her complaints.
This sentence opened a whole new avenue for conversation.
Firstly, Natalie said, "Matthew, you have to accelerate your progress. Look how Selina is rushing you."
A hint of a smile flashed across Tobias's eyes. He patted Matthew's shoulder and said, "Matthew, Grandpa is very anxious about Selina, and he hopes that she can get married earlier. If you can marry her, it will fulfill one of Grandpa's wishes."
Cecilia also smiled and said, "It's not just about Grandpa, but also for me. Selina is not that much younger than Natalie, but Natalie is already going to have her second child."
Cecilia did not finish her sentence, but it was already self-evident.
Selina felt shocked and angry.
She stood up at once and said, "I'm full. I want to take a walk in the garden. Take your time."
