The gun was pointed at Matthew.
He spoke to Selina, "Selina. You can't marry this man. If you're getting married, you can only marry me. No other man can be with you."
After a gunshot, Matthew fell directly to the ground.
"No!" Selina cried.
All of a sudden, she opened her eyes. She was sweating from the shock.
"What don't you want?" she heard a frivolous sounding voice.
Selina was stunned for a moment.
She found that Matthew was standing in front of the bed, looking at her with a faint smile.
Selina was speechless.
"I haven't done anything yet, so what don't you want?" Matthew's smile deepened.
Selina sat up directly.
"How did you get in?" she covered her chest with the duvet and asked.
This was her room, how did Matthew get in?
Matthew's gaze fell on Selina's hand. Her hand was holding the duvet tightly and covered her chest.
Matthew parted his lips and said, "Didn't you place my hand on your chest yesterday? Why are you covering it now?"
Selina was rendered speechless.
Her face turned red in an instant.
What was Matthew talking about!
Selina put down the duvet and said, "What are you talking about, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Matthew's gaze fell on the region below her neck. The corners of his lips curled into a smile and spoke, "Well, it's much better than when you were 16 years old."
Selina was still silent.
She looked nervously at Matthew. "Don't tell me that you've been staring at my breasts since I was 16?" Selina asked.
What a beast!
The smile on Matthew's lips deepened. "I'm just joking with you. Don't take it so seriously," he said.
Selina did not say anything.
Selina boasted that she was quite thick-skinned and had a sharp tongue but she found that she couldn't win when she was with Matthew.
"Humph! You haven't explained how you came into my room. If my mom finds out, she will think that you're a hooligan!"
A dim light flashed in Matthew's eyes. "Selina, Madam Lawson said that you were not awake yet when I arrived, so she asked me to come and wake you up."
Selina was speechless.
She instantly felt as if she had been punched in the face.
What kind of mother would behave like that!
Selina pointed to the door and said, "Get out. I'm going to change my clothes."
Matthew smiled and answered, "Then I'm not leaving."
Selina said nothing.
She pretended to be angry and said, "Stop joking. Get out. We haven't reached the point where I can change my clothes in front of you."
Matthew's eyes had turned a little deep and his tone was a little hoarse, "Then how long do I have to wait?"
Selina's breathing became labored.
"If you still don't get out, there will never be such a day," she replied.
There was a flash of laughter in Matthew's eyes.
"Alright, you change. I'll leave first," Matthew answered. After saying that, Matthew left.
When Matthew had walked out, the expression on Selina's face suddenly became gloomy and sad.
She had been hiding her emotions when she was speaking to Matthew. In fact, from the moment she woke up, she felt deeply sad as though someone was slicing her heart into pieces.
It took a long time for her to changed her clothes. After washing up, she looked at herself in the mirror for a long time.
She did not look radiant at all, and her eyebrows were furrowed.
