Chapter 837
She had better go as early as possible.
"I''l just get a cab," said Selina before she left the house.
Cecilia shook her head with a smile as she looked on at Selina leaving
Selina seemed to not like Matthew much, and it made Cecelia slightly surprised
Matthew was a man who excelled in every aspect. He was the epitome of a perfect man. No one could bring themselves to dislike him.
Selina, however, did not really like him, which was unexpected to Cecilia.
Selina got into the cab.
She told the cab driver the address, and he instantly made way to the Perry family house.
Cn the way, Selina felt that it was stuffy in the car, so she opened the car window.
As they drove past a shop, a tasty aroma filled Selina''s nostril.
Selina’s eyes instantly lit up.
Selina thought to herself that whatever food that was must taste delicious. As a foodie, she couldn''t let this pass her by without trying it out.
"Sir, stop the car!" shouted Selina
The driver immediately stopped the car.
"I''m going down to go buy something. Wait for me here." After saying that, Selina ced down the bag in her hand and went straight into the store.
It turned out that the delicious scent hade from a small roadside stall that was selling a highly trending chiffon cake.
Despite being from the upper ss, Selina put on no airs and had no qualms about eating food from a roadside stall like this.
She immediately asked the owner to get her a kilogram''s worth of chiffon cake.
Shortly after Selina had stepped out of the cab, another woman got into that cab.
She was young and charming, and was wearing a miniskirt.
Upon getting into the cab, the woman ced her bag down on the seat and said, "Las Vega Hotel, please.”
The driver, who had been entirely engrossed in his phone, only noticed the other woman''s presence when she spoke to him.
He turned around and said, "I''m sorry, I already have a customer.”
The woman snorted. She picked up the bag she had ced in the backseat and left.
After she left, Selina came back, her hands holding onto the warm chiffon cake.
Selina ate the chiffon cake along the way and soon arrived outside the Perry family house.
Upon arrival, she was stopped by a security guard.
"Who are you looking for?" the security guard enquired as he looked at Selina with caution.
Selina hadn''t expected the security at the Perry family residence to be so strict. It was on par with the Whitlock family''s.
No wonder Cecilia had said that Matthew was of noble status.
"I''m looking for Matthew. You can just tell him I''m Selina Whitlock. Hurry up and inform him, don''t waste my time," said Selina.
The security guard gave Selina a once over and then went to report.
The security guard was slightly confused. Selina certainly looked the part of a noble, but seeing her with that stic bag of chiffon cake somehow
instantly demoted her status.
Meanwhile, the security guard made a phone call to inform the butler, who then informed Matthew.
Matthew was in the study.
"Mr. Perry, ady named Selina Whitlock wants to see you," the butler said respectfully.
Matthew''s hand, which was flipping through the pages of a book, paused for a moment. A hint of interest shed through his eyes.
"Oh, she''s here?" The corner of Matthew''s lips curled up yfully.
When the butler saw the expression on Matthew''s face, he knew that this person was definitely someone Matthew wanted to see.
"I''l invite her in, Mr. Perry." the butler said
"No need." Matthew''s long legs had already stood up. "I''ll personally invite her in."
How could he not personally wee Selina’s arrival?
Matthew could already see Selina from afar.
She was holding a bag of chiffon cake as she ate it, which made her lock endearingly adorable.
The smile on Matthew''s lips became even more cheeky.
Selina was indeed a strange girl.
She was born into an upper ss family and was a nobledy from birth. However, her actions and speech werepletely different from the other
nobledies.
She was a free spirit. She was not just any ordinary nobledy, but a living person who had her own unique qualities.
Matthew walked over.
Selina also saw Matthew.
She quickly stuffed thest slice of chiffon cake into her mouth.
She was afraid that Matthew would grab her food again!
That was why she had to eat the chiffon cake in advance, otherwise, it would end up in his mouth.
"Selina." Matthew stared at Selina with a smile.
She didn''t know if it was her own misconception, but she had always felt that the way Matthew locked at her was somewhat indecent.
Although it seemed inappropriate ta
use that ? describe Matthew, who
on the outside looked like an
honarable man, that was what she
truly felt, with God as her witness.
"Ahem." Selina cleared her throat. "Mr. Matthew."
A hint of surprise danced in Matthew''s eyes.
"Aren''t you going to call me old man?” he said, dragging out his words.
Selina would usually call him an old man, so Matthew was genuinely surprised when she addressed him like that.
Selina gave a hum in acknowledgement. "I''m here today on behalf of the Whitlock family, so I''ll call you that for the sake of formality.”
Matthew was speechless.
He covered his mouth with the back of his hand and coughed. "Does eating a chiffon cake in front of someone''s gate count as being formal?"
What''s more, she hadn''t stopped eating when she saw himing, but had instead urgently stuffed thest piece of cake into her mouth.
Selina was at a loss for words.
She couldn''t help but re at Matthew in anger.
How annoying he was! Why did he have to expose her like that?
"Either way, calling you Mr. Matthew
already.counts as being formal," said
Selina “The Whitlock family has’a
gift f for you, so I came just todeliver
it. 10" you." Content belongs 10
Matthew''s eyes widened, and his voice was suddenlyden with emotion. "The Whitlock family is really generous.”
Selina thought to herself, "What utter nonsense. How is giving a piece of calligraphy generous?"
"They''ve even given you to me. How generous they are!" Matthew added as if he had seen through Selina.
Selina did not know what to say.
She widened her eyes. "What are you talking about?!"
What nonsense was he on about? What did he mean they had given her to him?
"I said, they''re so generous that they''ve even given you to me." Matthew stared into Selina’s eyes.
Selina could not form a single sentence.
"Who''s given me to you? What nonsense are you talking about?!"Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
"The fact that you''re standing in front of me means that they''ve given you to me.”
"What a wild imagination you have!"
"It doesn''t matter if I have a wild imagination or not, the fact is that you''re standing in front of me." Matthew peeked at Selina.
Selina was rendered speechless
She was so angry that she reflexively reached out her hand to push Matthew.
Just as her hand was about tond on Matthew''s chest, it was grabbed by him.
The warmth of his palm instantly enveloped Selina''s.
"I''l stop joking around." Selina could hear Matthew''s low voice beside her ear.
Selina stopped breathing for a moment.
She shook off Matthew''s hand with all her strength, and her cheeks became inexplicably red
She had always boasted about being thick-skinned, so she had not expected herself to flush red at being grasped by Matthew''s hand.
"I''l be leaving now since I''ve already delivered the gift," Selina said in a muffled voice, as if she was trying her best to hide her emotions.
"Come in and have a seat.” Matthew''s tone was clear.
"No thanks."
"Your brother would alwayse
into my house. Since you''vee’in
the name of the Whitlock family,”
naturally I should entertain you as a
guest, right?” Matthew smiled and
looked at Selina.
