"What do you want then?" Selina asked.
"I wish to save our marriage," Matthew said in a deep tone.
"Haven't you told me that you'd agree to a divorce?" Selina said. This was what Matthew had said before the misunderstanding had been cleared up.
Matthew frowned slightly and said, "Selina, that was only because I'd felt so insecure. I didn't know what you had been thinking at the time, so I'd been very anxious."
It was normal for anyone to lose control of their emotions from time to time. Matthew was no exception.
He had been extremely depressed at that time, and overwhelmed by negative feelings.
"But, I've never really thought seriously about divorce. I have made up my mind to spend the rest of my life with you," Matthew said. Then, he looked at Selina and said, "Would you please give me a chance?"
Selina's heart skipped a beat when she saw Matthew staring at her with such deep affection.
Selina felt lost whenever Matthew looked at her like that.
"What if I say no?" Selina replied firmly.
"Well, in that case, I will try my best to win you over," Matthew said while staring at Selina.
"Do you really like me that much?" Selina asked.
"Yes," Matthew said frankly.
Selina bit her lower lip. Her mind was in a mess now.
Why had Matthew fallen for her? What was so good about her?
Selina felt that she had made herself very clear. However, Matthew was determined to save their marriage.
Seeing Matthew's determination, Selina couldn't help but have second thoughts about her decision.
She took a deep breath and said, "Truth be told, I hated you very much when I'd thought that the matter was all your doing. Now, I don't hate you that much anymore. Although I do still have some negative feelings towards you, I can ignore those feelings. After all, you were drugged as well. You couldn't control the situation."
"Selina..." Matthew called out her name guiltily.
Selina tried hard to sound casual, "So, let's put an end to this and pretend that nothing happened."
After giving it a second thought, Selina felt that she couldn't blame Matthew for this.
She should blame Reid instead, who was the person who planned for all these things to happen.
However, Reid was not doing well either.
She knew how painful it was to see one's hard work becoming wasted.
"Do we have to put an end to our marriage as well?" Matthew asked in a soft voice all of a sudden.
Hearing this, Selina held her breath for a moment.
Her emotions had been deeply affected by Matthew's words.
Looking at Matthew's expression, Selina couldn't bear to treat him so heartlessly.
She had no choice but to say indirectly, "Matthew, you are an excellent man. I believe that you could find a better woman. There are countless women who wish to be together with you. I'm not the only woman in the world."
"Although there are a lot of women with good qualities, I've only fallen for you," Matthew stared straight into Selina's eyes and said.
Here we go again.
Selina sighed.
"Why does he always look at me affectionately? Doesn't he know that he looks extremely attractive in this way?" she thought to herself.
It could be said that Matthew's gaze was like a whirlpool. Whoever looked into his gaze would definitely be deeply attracted.
Selina tried to resist the temptation and looked away. She said, "Give me some time to think about it."
She wanted to refuse again. However, she couldn't say so under Matthew's gaze.
"Selina, truth be told, I don't want to give you any time to think about it," Matthew said in a deep voice. He continued, "That's because I'm afraid that you'll run away from me after giving it a second thought. Perhaps I should be more domineering in our relationship. But, I'd like to show you some respect, so I'll give you more time."
Hearing this, Selina was slightly shocked.
She said with a smile, "Matthew, do you know what I admire the most about you? The answer is that you're exceptionally good in showing people respect."
Selina had never seen any influential or prestigious man showing people respect.
"Okay."
Hearing Matthew's reply, Selina was shocked.
She knew that Matthew would agree with her. However, she expected Matthew to ask her a few questions first. Unexpectedly, he agreed.
She couldn't help saying, "Matthew, do you treat everyone so well that you never refuse them?"
Matthew looked at Selina with deep affection and said, "I only treat you like this."
Hearing this, Selina's heart skipped a beat.
She could feel how much he liked her.
Selina drove Matthew's car to the Perry Group building.
She couldn't help but smile wryly as she drove.
She didn't expect herself to end up heading towards Perry Group after driving aimlessly for such a long time. If she had known that she would go to Perry Group headquarters earlier, she would have asked Matthew to drive her there.
Before this, she had been thinking about where to go and what to do. In the end, she felt that she should talk to Caroline.
Selina hadn't been able to see many things clearly before this because she had been indulging in her hatred. After discovering the truth, Selina felt she should have a talk with Caroline.
Selina felt she would be able to clear up the misunderstanding with Caroline because she had been able to do so with Matthew.
Selina ran into Matthew when she reached the Perry Group headquarters.
Matthew just got out of a Rolls-Royce.
Selina was not surprised when she saw him.
After all, it was very likely that Matthew would come to the company after they'd parted.
Selina guessed that Matthew must have contacted the driver to send him to the company after she had left.
Matthew was shocked when he saw Selina.
