Chapter 879


    Should it be this way?


    Dn said many things to her, starting from when they were still students. He talked about meeting her for the first and what she liked to eat. "Selina, do you remember what you wrote in your first love letter to me?"


    "You said, I was the best looking guy in school and that you were the most beautiful girl. You said that we were made for each other and it was your destiny to be my girlfriend."


    "You hated coffee that had too much sugar. You loved adding other tastes to it too, and it had to be mango-vored."


    "You really didn''t like ck clothes. You always said you looked like a widow in them."


    "Foods with herbs in them were the worst. Anytime there were herbs in your meal, you were disgusted."


    Selina stayed silent.


    She was slowly tearing up.


    She didn''t expect him to remember all those things, and so clearly too.


    After all these years, he really did remember


    everything about her.


    "Ok, ok, that''s enough Dn. Stop talking now!" she was getting a little choked up.


    She was afraid she would lose control of herself if he kept talking.


    In the very next moment, Dn had pulled her into his strong embrace. She could feel his warm breath on her skin.


    But she still felt cold inside.


    Dn softened his tone. "Selina, do you remember what you said? You said one of your favorite parts of weddings was seeing doves being set free. You loved it when there were airnes flying about in the open sky leaving behind colorful trails. I remember everything you said. I don''t want to do any wrong by you. You shouldn''t have to settle for my shorings. Selina, don''t you see? I''ve always loved you."


    Selina finally cracked, she couldn''t hold it in anymore and her tears began to flow.


    She remembered. She remembered every detail of the time she''d told him these things.


    It was only a year ago and she only ever mentioned it to him once.


    Back then, he didn''t say anything at all, he was just indifferent to it.


    She recalled how disappointed she was at him for being so dismissive. She even believed he had ignored her and didn''t hear anything she had said. But now it was clear how wrong she was about him.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    He was listening to her, and he remembered every word.


    She felt all the walls she put up around her heart crumble in a split second, exposing her, leaving her totally vulnerable.


    Selina still hadn''t returned yet. The more Cecilia thought about it, the more convinced she was that something bad had happened.


    She saw how panicked Selina was as she rushed out the door, saying "Something''s happened to him."


    Fearing the worst, she assumed that Selina was talking about Matthew.


    She immediately called him after Selina had left in the car.


    After a short ring tone, the call was picked up.


    Matthew answered with his deep voice, "Madam Lawson?"


    "Matthew, is everything alright?" Cecilia asked anxiously.


    Matthew was unsure on what she meant.


    "No, I''m fine. In fact I was just about to start a business meeting."


    Cecilia gave off a big sigh of relief.


    "Selina had just run out in a hurry. She mentioned that something had happened to someone, I assumed she meant you..."


    She suddenly stopped herself.


    A strong wave of unease trembled in her heart.


    If it wasn''t Matthew she was talking about, could she mean...?


    "Well then, that''s all Matthew. I''m relieved to hear you are alright. Please go ahead with your meeting. I''ll hang up now." Cecilia quickly dropped the call.


    On the other side of the phone call, Matthew''s face hardened and his brows furrowed.


    He decided to call off the meeting and proceeded to walk out of the conference room.


    The room erupted with a buzz of gossip.


    "What''s been going on with Mr. Perrytely? He hasn''t been staying back like he usually does hasn''t he?"


    "Yeah, its really strange. Mr. Perry''s never behaved like this, ever. He would always be here all day working."


    After walking a fair distance away from the room, Matthew called Selina.


    She was still in Dn''s room when her phone buzzed. She was shocked when she saw Matthew''s name appear on the screen.


    She was still in Dn''s warm embrace.


    She pulled herself away from his arms. Her facing turning white.


    "Selina, won''t you forgive me?" Dn looked at her expectantly.


    She took a deep breath.


    "Can you give me some time? I''ll have an answer for you by tomorrow."


    Dn wasn''t sure how to feel about this.


    But then he nodded, "Okay, I''ll wait for tomorrow."


    Selina bit on her lip. "Then I''ll be going now. Get some rest."


    This time, he didn''t chase after her.


    Once she was out of the ward, Selina fished out her cell phone and stared at the shing screen. She stared at it, unsure of what to do.


    She had put her phone on vibrate, so Dn didn''t notice the call.


    She wanted to pick up the call, but was overwhelmed with a flurry of emotions, fear being chief of them.


    Her hand grasped tightly on her phone, she could feel each one of her fingers trembling.


    Two minutester, the phone was still vibrating, the call still waiting to be picked up.


    Finally, she answered.


    She heard Matthew''s gentle voice, "Selina, where are you?"


    It was gentle and so disarming.


    This was Matthew.


    He was always such a calming andid back person to be with.


    If it were anyone else, when it had taken this long to answer, they would already be pressing her with questions like "What took you so


    long?"  so

    But Matthew didn''t.


    Selina''s heart felt warm inside.


    "I''m nowhere.'' she replied meekly.


    Keeping his tender tone, Matthew asks "Do you have some free time? How about I take you somewhere to unwind?"


    She bit her lip again. "I thought you''ve gone to thepany? Don''t you have work to do?" "You''re much more important to me."


    She bit her lip harder.


    Selina was silent for a moment and


    responded, "Sorry, Matthew, I don''t feel like it right now. How does


    tomorrow sound? We can have breakfast together. Sorry I can''t talk. I have to hang up now." Content

    She noticed his breathing on the other end grew heavier.


    After a brief pause, Matthew replied with a simple "Okay."


    His voice was still so clear and warm, it could melt the snow in winter.


    After hanging up, all she could do was just stand, phone still in hand. She stood in silence for a very long time, lost in her thoughts.


    She eventually made her way back to the Whitlock vi.


    Cecilia handed her a steaming cup of coffee. "I just brewed it. Come and sit down with me."


    "Okay" Selina responded.


    Hot coffee in hand, she pulled out a chair and sat at the table. Noticing Selina''s expression, Cecilia grew increasingly uneasy.


    But she made sure to speak calmly to her. "So who was that person that you said had something happened


    to them? Who did you rush off to


    BUMS


    see?"


    Upon hearing this, Selina''s face dropped and turned white.


    With a pleading look she said, "Mom, please don''t ask."


    Cecilia''s brows furrowed so intensely they practically joined together.


    She was almost certain Selina had gone to see that person.


    Fixing her gaze on her, she stated, "Selina, you must know that you''re with Matthew now. You can''t go causing trouble like before."


    Selina bit her lip harshly.


    Of course she knew that.


    Why else would she be in such a mess if she didn''t?
