Matthew smiled, "Hi Joycelyn, I see that you're chatting with Selina."
"Yes." Joycelyn's tone was a little stiff.
Matthew walked towards Selina and stared at her for a while. He suddenly smiled at her.
"What's it?" Selina felt a little strange, seeing Matthew smiling at her for no obvious reason.
Matthew gently wiped the corner of Selina's mouth and said, "Silly girl, you didn't even know that there's cream there."
Selina was quiet.
Did it mean that she was talking to Rainee and Joycelyn earlier with cream on the corners of her mouth?
Selina couldn't help but want to dig a hole and hide herself.
"It seems that I'll always have to be with you when I take you out next time, or you won't even eat properly." Matthew's tone was full of love.
Standing on the side, Joycelyn's expression grew a little bitter as she saw the exchange between Matthew and Selina.
Matthew was always so warm and gentle. However, she had not seen this side of him which was so full offender and loving care for someone. This side of Matthew really made her heart throb. She suddenly couldn't bear to look at it any longer. "Matthew, Miss Whitlock, I am going there for awhile. Both of you can continue." After greeting them, Joycelyn left in a hurry.
"What were you talking about with Joycelyn just now?" Matthew asked casually.
Selina looked secretive. "We talked about how batches are made!"
Matthew wasn't sure what to say.
"Are you interested in this?"
"Yes." Selina said, "It's not just that. I'm also interested in how to slap someone in their face."
Usually, at every Yeager family's party, someone would need to give a speech up on the stage. They would generally greet everyone, welcome them, and wish them a fun night.
It was the same that day.
Usually, Matheo would be the one who would give the speech, but this time, Rainee volunteered to do it.
Matheo was a little surprised, "Why do you suddenly want to give the speech?"
Rainee's gaze looked like she was plotting something, "A lot of them are your friends. I also want everyone to get to know me."
Matheo lifted his gaze slightly.
Well, it was not bad for Rainee to want to do that.
Anyway, it was not a formal party, so it didn't matter who gave the speech.
Matheo said, "Alright, you can go up and give the speech. Don't make any mistakes."
In the end, Matheo did not forget to remind Rainee.
Rainee smiled slightly, and looked sly.
She was thinking that she must embarrass Selina, the beggar woman, in front of everyone from Agaphen City at this party. She would expose her lowly background to everyone!
She would make sure that she wouldn't be able to survive in Agaphen City after this!
Rainee lifted the hem of her dress and walked up onto the stage.
She cleared her throat and started. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Yeager family's party. It's our honor to have you all together at the party held by Yeager family..."
Below the stage, Selina winked at Matthew, "This little girl went up on stage to give her speech.
Doesn't the Yeager family hold this party every year? So, who is the one who usually gives the speech?"
A surprised look could be seen in Matthew's eyes.
The Yeager family's party had been held annually since a long time ago. Due to his good relationship with Matheo, he came almost every year.
However, he remembered that it was Matheo who'd given the speech every time. Rainee had never done it before.
This time, it was strange that Rainee went up.
"Yes, but usually it would be Matheo." Matthew replied.
Selina smiled.
It seemed that everything was going according to her plan.
If she didn't teach Rainee a lesson, she would really think that she could just bully Selina as she liked.
Matthew saw Selina's smile and caught the hint of slyness in her eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
