"I will get someone to take down the article right away." After saying that, Matthew directly hung up the phone. Straight after, he ordered his personal assistant to take down all the articles concerning the rumor.
After his assistant had left, Matthew tiredly rubbed his eyebrows.
How could he have made such a careless mistake? He should have thought about Mr. Whitlock the moment he saw those articles, but it didn't even cross his mind. His thoughts were constantly fixated on Selina.
It wasn't like him to make such a careless mistake. Was it his desires that had caused him to momentarily lose his mind? The scandalous articles regarding Matthew and Jenna were taken down in the fastest way possible.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
After the news had been taken down, she felt that the matter was basically resolved.
It wasn't important whether the scandal between Matthew and that celebrity was true or not.
Even if it was true, there was no problem with it as long as that celebrity was not a loose person. In fact, after giving it sthought, Natalie even felt a little relieved.
After all, if Matthew could finally start a new relationship with someone, then the Whitlock family's guilt could be lessened.
However, Natalie suddenly noticed something strange.
Selina's mood had not improved even after the news articles had been taken down. There was a lost look mixed in with the anger on her face.
In fact, she was showing great agitation, switching between gnawing on her fingernails, turning scarily pale, and blazing with anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Natalie gave it sthought, Natalie attributed this reaction to Peter as well.
Selina was probably angry at Matthew for allowing the scandal to spread.
With this reason in mind, Natalie tried to comfort her by saying, "Selina, don't think too much about it. The article is nowhere to be seen anymore, and Mr. Whitlock is taking his nap now. By the the wakes up, the article will be completely gone, and he won't know about it." Selina was agitated, "What if he finds out? What should we do if he finds out?" Natalie said helplessly, "He won't, so don't worry." Selina's eyes were getting red, "That b*stard Matthew must have done it on purpose. He must have done it on purpose. He doesn't want Grandpa to be well. He must want the Whitlock family to suffer!" Natalie patted Selina's hand. "I understand that you care a lot about Mr. Whitlock, but you're reacting too strongly right now. Everyone knows what kind of person Matthew is. He would never do such a thing, so you shouldn't overthink it." "I'm not overthinking it!" Selina spoke as if she hadn't understood a word of what Natalie had said, "Natalie, if he didn't do it on purpose then it would mean that he has lost his mind because of his desires. He must have been infatuated by that beautiful girl the moment he saw her and forgotten about everything else!" Natalie sighed.
What Selina had said was definitely wrong. However, even if it was right, there shouldn't have been anything wrong with it.
There was nothing wrong with a good man getting together with a good woman.
Since Matthew and Selina had already gotten a divorce, Matthew had the right to look for his own happiness. Whether it was the Whitlock family or even Selina herself, they did not have the right to stop Matthew from doing so.
Natalie said earnestly, "Selina, it's already amazing that Matthew was willing to help us. Do we also need to ask Matthew not to be with any other women when Mr. Whitlock is around? Don't you think that this is unrealistic?" Selina was stunned for a moment.
Her heart sunk as she heard what Natalie said.
Natalie continued, "Besides, you should be happy for Matthew. If Matthew could start over with someone new, you wouldn't have to feel so guilty. So, why are you being so angry now?" Many different emotions flashed through her eyes.
Her gaze was a complex mix of grief, complaint, unspeakable embarrassment, helplessness and pleading. That's right. Natalie was right. There was nothing wrong with what he had been doing at all.
She should be happy for him now that Matthew had found a new lover.
Yet, why was her heart acting up like this? She was feeling slightly sour, sad, aggrieved, and angry.
Selina stood up and rubbed her eyes. "Natalie, you're right. Perhaps I'm just too worried about Grandpa. I should be happy that he found a new partner." As she said that, she lowered her voice, "What's more, his new lover is so beautiful and young." Natalie grew even more confused.
There seemed to be something wrong with Selina.
Natalie stood up as well. She stared into Selina's eyes as she asked, "Selina, are you really alright?" Search the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Selina was afraid that Natalie would see through her emotions.
She forced a smile at Natalie and said, "Of Of course, I'm fine. You know my temper. I was just no. straight because I'd thought that he'd done it on purpose." Natalie thought that Selina's explanations made sense.
She patted Selina's hand and said, "Don't overthink this. Matthew is definitely not that kind of person. He probably didn't mean to do something like this." Selina nodded casually and forced a smile onto her face.
That night, when Matthew arrived at the Whitlock family's house, he realized that the atmosphere was weird.
To be exact, there was something wrong with Selina and Natalie.
Natalie was looking quizzically at him.
As for Selina, she was avoiding him. Occasionally, when their eyes met, Selina would swiftly avoid his gaze. Matthew thought that it might be because of that scandal.
However, due to Peter's presence, he couldn't find the opportunity to explain everything clearly.
While they were having dinner, Matthew placed a spoonful of food on Selina's plate.
Selina's reaction was very big. She immediately pushed the food that he had given her onto the table.
Matthew was quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was a flash of emotion in his eyes.
Peter saw what happened.
He said unhappily, "Selina, what are you doing? Matthew was just putting sfood on your plate. How could you push it onto the dining table?" Selina bit her lip hard. Since Peter was there with them, she couldn't say anything, so she just replied awkwardly, "Didn't I tell you that I dislike this dish?" "Even if you don't like it, you didn't have to waste it like that!" Peter kept a stern look on his face.
Selina didn't say a word.
"What do you like to eat? Letget it for you." Someone said gently.
Selina sneered in her heart.
He was trying to get into everyone's good books again by diffusing the situation.
She knew that she should restrain herself in front of Peter, but she still couldn't help but say don't have any favorite dishes. Besides none of the dishes tonight look good so I don't like any of them!"
Peter's expression darkened even more. Just as he was about to om reprimand Selina, Matthew said calmly, "Since the dishes today don't suit your taste, I'll cook something else for you." He paused and said, "When you were at home, you seemed to enjoy the meatballs Erine made. How about I make it for you?" Selina looked at Matthew in astonishment.
When she was in Perry family home, she had indeed enjoyed the food that he was describing. However, how had Matthew known this? She knew that she had never told it to him before.
Was Erine the one who had told him? Matthew entered the kitchen while Selina was still stunned.
Peter looked at Selina thoughtfully. "It's obvious that Matthew has a good temper. He even tolerates your willfulness."
