Chapter 836
"ls Bali beautiful? Is it fun?" asked Selina.
"It sure is beautiful and fun. Selina, you have toe if you have the time."
A wave of emotions shed through Selina''s eyes, and she sighed. "I do want to go, and I wanted Dn to bring me. Can you guess what he said?"
"What?"
"He said he was so poor that he couldn''t even bring me to Hesovo Ind, not to mention Bali."
Natalie was speechless.
Selina said in self-mockery, "I''m a rich woman, but he''s so prideful to the point that he refuses to use a woman''s money. He said that he will work hard
to let me live the life of a nobledy that I deserve. Natalie, do you think that''s realistic?"
"I don''t think it''s unrealistic. A lot of things can change with time. They say you should never bully a poor man for you''ll never know when luck may
favor him. Selina, don''t you think so too?" replied Natalie.
After listening to Natalie''s words, Selina became more hopeful.
She nodded strongly. "You''re right. Maybe these naive thoughts of mine mighte true. As human beings, we must always have goals.”
At that point, she stopped and said, "I seem to have taken up too much of your time. Tobias might get upset. Let''s end our conversation here Natalie.
Do enjoy your honeymoon with my brother.”
"It''s fine, he won''t be upset. We can continue talking." Natalie said as sheughed.
In spite of Natalie''s reassurance, Selina decided to hang up anyway. "No, no. I mustn''t impose. I don''t want to be boring. Let''s talk next time."
She hung up after that.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
Hearing the beeping tone through the phone, ripples shed past Natalie''s eyes.
Shortly after, she went to the hotel lobby.
"Done with your call?" Tobias asked as he stared at Natalie with a smile.
He was sitting on the sofa, emanating a noble aura.
Natalie sat down next to Tobias, who took advantage of the situation and circled his arms around her waist.
"Just now, Selina mentioned Dn again," Natalie said.
The expression on Tobias’ face suddenly turned rigid
Natalie noticed it.
She looked directly at Tobias. "I tried to dissuade Selina, but she said something that made me pause. She asked if I would have still liked you if you
were in the same situation as Dn."
Tobias'' gaze suddenly deepened.
Natalie said with certainty, "I think I would. I would still have fallen for you. So. let''s all wish for Selina''s happiness. Nothing on this earth can stop love.
What we can do is give them our blessing. Don''t you think so?”
The look in Tobias’ grew more profound.
A momentter, she was suddenly fully wrapped up in Tobias'' embrace. "Natalie, you are right. Nothing in this world can stop love. Therefore, all we
can do is hope for the best for her."
Natalie instantly felt like she was shrouded in aforting warmth, and it made her feel at ease
She was much happier and luckierpared to Selina.
She wished that some of her luck would rub off onto Selina so that she too could be increasingly blessed and happy.
Meanwhile, Selina received a task
Cecilia had asked her to go drop by Matthew''s house
Every year, the Whitlock family would prepare a gift for each of their friends or rtives. Matthew could also be considered as someone close to the
Whitlock family, so he was no exception.
Most of the gifts could be delivered by servants, but Matthew was different. Firstly, despite his youthful age, his status was important enough to
warrant special treatment. Secondly, he had a close rtionship with Tobias.
Tobias was usually the one to send the gift. However, Tobias was currently unavable.
Members of the upper ss had always been particr when it came to matters regarding seniority. As an elder, Cecilia couldn''t personally send it to
Matthew. Since Tobias wasn''t around, Selina was the only one who could do it.
When Selina heard that she had to deliver the gift to Matthew, the corner of her mouth twitched.
Back then she hadn''t had much of an impression of Matthew. She simply thought of him as a goodlooking man.
Even though he was of noble descent, he did not carry a superior, unreachable, and prideful air.
However, after having interacted with him several times...
Selina realized that this man was extremely flirty.
She didn''t want to be the one to deliver Matthew his gift, for she did not like men who were incredibly flirty like him
In her opinion, he was the byname of a yboy.
Selina hesitated as she said to Cecilia, "Mom, why don''t you let someone else send it to him?"
Cecilia shook fer head with a smile.
"Since Tobias-and Natalie aren''t
here, who.glse could deliver it? I''m >
older thad him, and it''s not ov
appropfiate for me to send it tohim
personally. However, Matthew has
arfonorable status, so we-can''t just
I&Pa servant send it." Coptent
belongs to
"Why not?" The corner of Selina''s mouth quirked up.
She failed to see how Matthew was of noble status.
Selina said, "Just send a servant. Send the oldest and ugliest servant we have!"
If a young girl like her went there, Selina was sure that Matthew would flirt with her to no end. She reckoned Matthew wouldn''t be able to do it if the
person was old and ugly.
A look of confusion passed through
Cecilia''s eyes: "Why do we have to
send an old” -and ugly one?" "Don''t ~~
you thinkthat he''s incredibly flirty?
What ifhe makes a youngdycall
headover heels?" Selina saidout
loud. ~

Cecilia was at a loss for words.
She looked at Selina strangely and wondered what nonsense she had just uttered.
Cecilia had been in contact with Matthew for quite some time. His character was definitely something that even Cecilia would sing praise for.
Cecilia had never considered him to be the flirty type.
Matthew was one of those rare men who had every right to flirt with and seduce women, but abstained from it
In fact, she could see that Matthew was a truly dedicated man.
Cecilia flicked Selina’s forehead. "It''s bad enough that you''re refusing to do it, now here you are ndering Matthew too. Hurry along and deliver it to
him. Don''t you say any more nonsense.”
Selina stuck out her tongue.
What nder? Everything she had said was the truth.
Matthew had hidden himself too well. Only Selina''s sharp eyes saw through his disguise, whilst everyone else had been mesmerized and charmed by
him
Whatever, she would just go and deliver it. It wasn''t like she had anything to lose.
Besides, apart from the fact that Matthew liked to flirt with youngdies, it seemed that there was nothing else particrly bad about him.
Selina went to get the gift.
The gift was a work of calligraphy written by Peter himself.
Selina was speechless.
Who would give their own calligraphy to someone else as a gift? This was in narcissism.
She really couldn''t believe that Peter was such a narcissist at his age.
Cecelia chuckled in reply and said,
"The people-ho receive gifts from
the Whitlock family are all rich. They
don''t ack-any hing. Rather, sincerlty
is whats hardest toe by. So,
this ￥$''your grandfather''s way of
show ng his sincerity to them.”
Peter''s calligraphy was ced in an exceedingly ornate box, which was framed with golden rims.
Selinained that it was too troublesome to hold and instead stuffed it into her bag
She had nned to ask the driver to send her to Matthew''s house. However, that day, all the cars of the Whitlock family had been sent for
maintenance.
"Why don''t you wait for the driver to get the car back before you go?” Cecilia suggested.
Selina immediately opposed the suggestion.
It would most probably be dark by the time the driver drove the car back.
The dark would be a convenient setting for his flirting
