With Matthew's power, he didn't need to queue up like ordinary people when he bought things.
Matthew smiled as he said, "As long as you live in this world, you have to follow the rules, right? Whether you are born noble or ordinary, you are just a mortal. There is no difference."
Selina was quiet.
Her eyes looked surprised.
It was true. The more time she spent with him, the more she was attracted to him.
He was like a drug or poison that got people addicted to gradually.
However, fortunately, she knew the nature of this man.
He had schemed to take away her first time. She would never be captivated by him no matter what happened.
Just as he finished paying and was about to leave, he bumped into someone.
It was Joycelyn, and she was wearing a green dress.
There was a hint of shock in her eyes when she met Matthew's gaze. However, when she saw
Selina beside him, her eyes turned a little dark.
Regardless, she soon adjusted her emotions.
"Matthew, Miss Whitlock, what a coincidence to meet both of you here. Are you here to buy something as well?"
"Yes." Matthew smiled, "You too?"
Joycelyn nodded and said, "My parents like fruits, so I came here to buy some for them."
As she mentioned that, she paused and said in a lighter tone, "My parents are always talking about you, saying how much they've missed you."
Matthew's smiled deeper, "I see. When I have time, I'll go visit them. I'll bring my wife as well."
Selina didn't know what to say.
Why did she have to be involved in this?
Hearing what Matthew said, Joycelyn forced a smile.
She managed to hold her smile and said, "I'll head off now. My parents are still waiting for me to come home. See you next time."
After that, Joycelyn hurried away.
Selina looked at Joycelyn's back, it was slender and slim.
No doubt, Joycelyn was a very pretty woman.
However, Joycelyn obviously only said that her parents missed Matthew so that Selina would be aware of it...
Did she want to tell her that her family had a good relationship with Matthew?
Selina smirked and thought that Joycelyn was actually still quite smart.
This woman was conniving.
It was so much so that even a smart man like Matthew had not noticed Joycelyn's foxy plots.
Selina could tell at once because of her instinct as a woman.
However, this woman could also be quite stupid at the same time.
For example, why did she deliberately say those things in front of her?
Didn't Selina tell her last time that she didn't care about Matthew at all? Did she not believe her?
"Are you very familiar with that batch's parents?" Selina asked casually.
Matthew didn't hear it clearly, and there was a flash of confusion in his eyes.
Selina coughed and asked, "Are you familiar with Joycelyn's parents?"
"Yes." Matthew said, "Her father is a famous physician. When my father had a stomach disease, it always acted up repeatedly and he was tortured badly by the pain. Later, we met Joycelyn's father by coincidence and he cured him completely. That was how both our families became acquainted."
"I see." Selina replied.
No wonder, she had been puzzled how Joycelyn had gotten to know Matthew who was an aristocrat when she was just a chief doctor.
They finally arrived at the mansion, and for some reason Selina was nervous.
The servant who opened the door immediately greeted them. "Miss Selina, you're home."
Selina nodded.
