Matthew's breathing froze slightly.
Selina had pressed her leg against Matthew's thigh.
Her legs were slim, but carried some weight.
Matthew smiled, shaking his head internally.
"This brat's sleeping posture." he thought. "She occupies so much space."
Even so, he didn't move Selina's leg away.
Suddenly, Selina turned her body around. This time, her face got closer to Matthew's.
Matthew stared at Selina's face, with a strange emotion in his eyes.
Her face was a perfect oval, her eyes huge, covered quietly by thick, long eyelashes that looked like tiny fans.
Her nose was delicate and straight, her lips were pink.
Although she was no longer in her twenties, her face was still delicate and smooth, which made her look like an 18 or 19-year-old girl.
Matthew's eyes darkened. Hints at his indomitable will swirled in its depths, covered by aggressiveness and darkness.
After a moment, his lips approached her. He gave her a gentle kiss and moved away.
He was afraid that he would wake Selina up.
Selina's sleeping appearance looked very silly, just like how she looked when they met for the first time.
She had been stunning yet cute, possessing the innocence of a young girl.
But now, he had noticed that innocent expression lessening during her waking moments.
So he didn't want to miss such a precious time.
Matthew kept staring at Selina, as if he couldn't have enough of her for the rest of his life.
In the tranquil night, his heart beat quietly. The scene held a kind of emotion that was hard to describe.
The next morning, Selina woke up.
At first, she had thought that she wouldn't sleep well in the hospital ward. She had never expected to go into a deep sleep as soon as she got on the bed.
She slept deeply throughout the night, with no waking in between.
It seemed that the hospital ward was a good place to sleep.
As soon as Selina opened his eyes, she saw a pair of deep black eyes, staring at her.
Illuminated by the sunshine that shone through the window, Matthew seemed to be covered in dazzling auspicious light, looking warm, tender and attractive.
Selina was stunned.
She sat up promptly, "Why are you looking at me?"
Seriously! Seeing someone staring at her once she got up early in the morning made her pretty speechless.
"You looked good." Matthew said.
Selina noticed the dark circles in Matthew's eyes. She felt her breath freeze slightly for a moment
"Don't tell me that you stared at me for the whole night and didn't sleep at all?" Selina asked.
"Yes."
A "you're crazy" expression appeared on Selina's face, "Why did you stare at me for the whole night?"
"My wife is beautiful. I never get tired of looking at you no matter how many times I do so." "Psychopath." said Selina subconsciously.
To her, the fact that one person could stare at another for the whole night sounded crazy. What else could it be but that this guy was a lunatic!
Matthew replied, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "You know, sometimes I also feel like I'm losing my mind."
Selina lost all words.
She was speechless, "Don't you think that any woman's face before she brushes her teeth and washes her face is ugly?"
"No, my wife is beautiful no matter what."
Selina had been completely defeated.
She realized that there was no way she could argue with Matthew, so she just kept silent.
A little while later, the doctor came. He performed a checkup on Matthew and told him that his situation had improved, and that they could go back.
When Matthew's car passed by the Perry Group office, Selina suddenly said, "I'm getting down here."
Matthew looked at Selina, "Let me send you home."
Selina shook her head, "It's okay, I feel like walking around alone."
