She stood before him quietly.
She wore no expression, but even the slant of her lips was enough to send chills down his spine.
For sreason, Matthew suddenly felt a trace of fear.
He didn't know why he felt that way.
"Matthew," Selina suddenly said. "Didn't you offer to cut sfruit forto eat? Why don't you go and do that now?" Her tone was light and sweet.
The faint coldness he sensed from her disappeared as she spoke.
"Sure," Matthew answered immediately. "What do you want to eat?" "What is there at home?" "We have Java apples, cherries, lychees..." Matthew listed them one by one.
Surprise appeared in Selina's eyes. S~earch the (Find)website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
He knew what fruits there were in the fridge so clearly, even without asking the servants? Matthew was so busy at work. How could he know what fruits were available at home? It was such a small detail. Selina couldn't help but frown. "How do you remember these details so clearly?" Warmth seemed to emanate from him as he looked at her. "No one in the Perry family likes to eat fruits, so there was originally none at home. After you came, I asked the butler to prepare your favorite fruits. That's why I remember this clearly." He spoke naturally. He didn't emphasize what he had done for her.
A mocking look flashed across Selina's eyes as she bit her lip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the surface, Matthew seemed to be such a considerate person. If people didn't know better, they would have been fooled by him.
Just like her in the past. Back then, she had really thought that Matthew was one of a kind.
"What would you like to eat, or maybe you would like a bit of each?" "I don't want any of these." She shifted her gaze to him. "I want to eat mangoes." "Okay." Matthew thought it was a little strange. "You want to eat mangoes when they are not in season?" Matthew had asked the butler to prepare her favorite fruits. From what he knew about her, she didn't like mangoes.
The corner of Selina's lips twitched. "Because it's yellow." It was true. The fruits that Matthew had mentioned were the fruits she liked.
Still, because it was something that he had prepared for her, she didn't want to eat them.
Matthew stayed silent.
On any other day, if she had said something like that, he would've made a joke out of it. However, at this moment, he had no desire to do anything of the sort. "Okay, I'll buy it for you." "Okay." "Do you want to cwith me?" "No," Selina declined immediately.
Matthew's tone was gentle. "It's good to exercise a little after dinner. Otherwise, you'll gain weight. Taking a walk will be good for you." She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "I hope I put on weight. It's best if I gain 200 pounds, so that you won't have any impure thoughts of me. Am I right?" A lot of emotions flashed through his eyes.
"You won't gain 200 pounds," he said in a low voice. "And I will always have impure thoughts about you." Selina was not in the mood to flirt with him.
"Didn't you say you were going to buy smangoes for me? Why are you still here?" She glanced at him sideways. "I'm on my way." After Matthew left, Selina sat on the sofa alone.
Erine cout of the kitchen not long after.
Seeing Selina alone on the sofa, Erine walked over. "Miss Whitlock, where is Master Perry?" "He went out," Selina answered lazily.
Erine didn't notice that she was in a bad mood.
There was a smile on her lips. "Miss Whitlock, Master Perry is very fond of you. He used to cback at midnight everyday because he was so busy with work. But now that you're here, he comes back around dinnertime. He really does care about you!" All of a sudden, Erine patted her head.
Just as she was mentioning dinner, she remembered that she had not asked Matthew whether he had eaten! Erine looked at Selina nervously. "Miss Whitlock, I forgot to ask Master Perry if he has eaten. He definitely hasn't eaten since he cback at this time!" Selina was expressionless. "He's probably eaten. Erine, don't worry so much. If he hasn't eaten, he will ask you to make dinner as soon as he comes back." Matthew had been hfor quite stime, after all, and he'd just left to buy the fruits without a murmur or protest. He must have had dinner, or he would have said something. Erine let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'm just afraid that he'll go hungry." "He'll be alright even if he is hungry. He won't starve to death anyway," Selina said in a low voice.
Erine didn't hear what she said clearly. "Miss Whitlock, did you say something?" "It's nothing." Selina smiled and said, "Erine, you can go back to work now." She was in a bad mood and wanted to be left alone.
Erine nodded. "I'll go and finish up my work." After she left, Selina took out her phone. Perhaps a gwould take her mind off of things.
Just at that moment, a piece of news appeared in her notifications.
"The caring CEO of the Perry Group covers medical expenses for terminally ill teenagers." Selina frowned.
"What is this?" She clicked on the link to the article. What she saw left her in shock.
It was about Matthew and a seriously ill boy. The boy had fallen seriously ill and relied completex medicine and frequent dialysis. His medical expenses were very high. It was more than what the family could afford. Matthew had covered all of the boy's medical expenses.

However, that was not the point. The point was that this young man happened to be the only son of the owner of the spicy noodle shop that ye Matthew had visited the day before. Selina scoffed as a thought cinto her mind. She had wanted to make a fool out of him and ridicule him.
Instead, she had only made him look better.
Of course, he was a man of many hidden talents.
She unconsciously tapped her fingers on the sofa as thoughts ran through her mind. If she wanted to make him suffer, this wasn't the way to do it. She was no match for him. Selina left the Perry family's villa. There were many other ways in which she could make Matthew suffer besides taking pictures of him at a store and then giving them to the media. One good example would be leaving hwithout telling him where she was going.
Selina turned off her phone and left the residence.
She got into the first taxi she saw.
"Let's drive around the city," Selina told the driver after a moment's thought.
The driver looked surprised but he didn't question her.
The taxi driver had the raon. Suddenly, the news about Matthew cup.
Selina's attention was caught immediately.
