Well, the action of Selina licking her fingers in this manner...
It made him think of other things...
Matthew said hoarsely, "Selina, don't lick your fingers like that."
Selina's breath hitched.
She didn't expect Matthew to notice. She felt embarrassed.
"It was so delicious, I couldn't control myself," she said and stuck out her tongue.
Matthew suddenly leaned over and said in a voice that could only be heard by Selina, "There's also something else that's very delicious too. Do you want to try it?"
There was a tinge of intimacy in his voice.
Selina was stunned for a while and then understood what he meant immediately.
Matthew had started flirting with her again.
Selina blushed again, but soon she came to her senses.
Why did she blush so easily?
Selina had always been thick-skinned. How could she become so thin-skinned when she was with Matthew?
Selina forced herself not to blush anymore.
She looked at Matthew and twitched her lips. "Alright, but be careful, I will bite it off. My teeth are really strong," she said.
"It's very sturdy too. It won't be bitten off," Matthew replied in a deeper tone.
Selina glared at Matthew.
"Alright, he's pretty good!" She thought.
"I won't have time to eat such nonsense," said Selina.
Matthew didn't continue wrangling with Selina as she expected. Instead, he stared at Selina and said, "You're right, Selina. You're a noble woman, and I'm going to treat you like a piece of treasure."
He sounded serious, indicating that he was not lying to Selina.
Selina's heart skipped a beat.
"Let's have another plate of fried chicken. I still want to eat more," she changed the topic.
Matthew's gaze made her feel strange.
After a while, the owner of the restaurant served another plate of fried chicken.
Selina continued to eat the fried chicken, but this time, she was not as relaxed as she was earlier.
When she was no longer focused on the fried chicken in front of her, she finally noticed that Matthew was staring at her.
A strange emotion appeared in Selina's heart.
She knew that Matthew liked her very much.
She was not a fool. She had figured this out.
However, she was puzzled as to why he liked her so much.
In fact, she felt a little sorry for Matthew.
She had made a deal with him, saying that she wanted to be with him and that she would forget about the past.
In the beginning, she did not have feelings for him.
However, Matthew treated her very well, which made her feel even more guilty.
Thus, she also wanted to try hard to fall in love with Matthew, to try her best to keep only Matthew in her heart. She did not want to think about Dylan, but this was impossible.
Selina took a deep breath.
She put down the fried chicken in her hand and looked at Matthew. "Matthew, you are a good man, you treat me well."
These were heartfelt words coming from her.
She felt that Matthew treated her better than the rest of her family.
Even she herself was puzzled by this notion.
Matthew's lips curved into a smile.
"If we continue progressing like this, you will see that I can be even better." Matthew said.
When he smiled, it was as though the world was brighter.
