Chapter 1010


    Selina decided to be brazen. She replied, "Well, we just happened to get together."


    Peter was happy with this answer, saying, "All is good as long as you''re together now. But when will the wedding ceremony be held? It''s ridiculous how a wedding ceremony can be dyed for this long!"


    Selina''s heart skipped a beat.


    Cecilia came to the rescue, "Matthew is currently very busy because there are lots ofpany matters to work on, as you would know. Also, this is a marriage between the Whitlock and the Perry family. Of course, we would need time to prepare."


    "Just get it done soon!" Peter said, obviously not satisfied with Cecilia''s answer.


    Natalie threw Hayden a look.


    She had informed Hayden the day before that yesterday that he was to keep Peterpany.


    Her reason for doing so was to divert Peter''s attention.


    Hayden was very smart and understood her hint immediately.


    Although he did not understand the reason Natalie wanted him to keep Peterpany, but he would do as he''d been told.


    Hayden grabbed Peter''s hand and said, "Greatgrandfather,e y with me! You haven''t yed with me for such a long time. Let''s go y with model nes."


    With this, Peter''s attention was diverted instantly.


    Peter said, "Sure, let''s go."


    Watching their backs, everyone let out a sigh of relief.


    Cecilia warned Selina, "You better keep the secret. It''s obvious that Dad''s health is deteriorating."


    Selina lowered her head and responded, "Okay."


    She had understood this fact well even without Cecilia''s reminder.


    The nightmare the night before had been enough as a reminder for her to know Peter should not find out about their divorce.


    After Peter went into Hayden''s room, Selina received a call from Caroline.


    Caroline invited her out as she needed to talk with Selina.


    Selina was initially surprised but she soon had it sorted out.


    Perhaps Caroline had finally believed in all the exnations she had given that day?


    She agreed immediately.


    As Peter was still there, she did not leave immediately.


    She set up an appointment with Caroline at one o''clock that afternoon, taking advantage of the fact that her grandfather tended to take very long naps in the afternoon.


    The Whitlocks had lunch together that day.


    Everyone was jovial during lunch and it was obvious that Peter was very happy. There were no questions about Matthew anymore.


    After lunch, Peter took his usual nap. Selina grabbed this opportunity to leave the house.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    She met Caroline at a coffee shop near the Perry Group building.


    "Are you no longer in a rtionship with Matthew?" Caroline asked the moment they met.


    "Yes," Selina said firmly. She continued, "We''re no longer together. I''ve told you what happened."


    Caroline pursed her lips.


    "Are you both really divorced?"


    "Yes," Selina answered firmly again.


    Caroline sank back into her thoughts.


    If she had only listened to Selina''s version of the story, she would never have believed it.


    But even Matthew had said so.


    Could it be true after all?


    "But I saw you and Matthew hugging each other after we met that time," Caroline exined her confusion.


    This was something she could not figure out.


    Selina was stunned for a moment.


    Hugging?


    Did she and Matthew hug after her meeting with Caroline?


    She had no memory of that.


    "Did you see wrongly?" Selina asked in confusion.


    Caroline then told Selina the exact time and location.


    With the details, Selina realized that it was just another misunderstanding.


    She exined, "It''s not what you thought. I fell and he caught me. It was definitely not a hug."


    Caroline remained silent, trying to figure out how true was this.


    After a long pause, she finally said, "Selina, this is unbelievable."


    Selina smiled wryly and said, "That how I felt too, but it''s all true."


    Caroline asked after thinking for a moment, "You''re not lying, are you?"


    "No. You have my word," Selina answered, looking right into Caroline''s eyes.


    After some hesitation, Caroline nodded and said, "I''ll believe you, but this is thest time."


    Selina breathed a sigh of relief.


    Nothing was better than having Caroline believing in her.


    She could finally clear things up with Caroline.


    Selina understood that it was impossible to have their rtionship be the same as before. However, as long as their misunderstanding had been cleared, Caroline could get back to the life she had, and that''s all she wanted for her friend.


    Selina spoke in a serious tone, "Caroline, thanks for trusting in me. I hope you can return to the United States as soon as possible."


    That was the only way Caroline could return to the life she had.


    "Why are you so eager to have me return to the US?" Caroline stared at Selina.


    Selina said with guilt, "Because there is no reason for you to stay."


    Caroline was stunned for a moment. She had mixed feelings.


    Selina was right, there was no reason for her to stay.


    Could she gain Matthew''s attention?


    It seemed impossible.


    He had no interest in her at all.


    No matter how outstanding she was, Matthew had never noticed her.


    Should she stay to seek vengeance from Selina?


    Well, it did not seem necessary anymore.


    Since everything had been a misunderstanding, why should she waste time staying here?


    Although there was no way to let go


    of the past and forget all that had happened, there was also no reason


    for her to stay and seek revenge on


    Selina.

    Caroline stood up, looked at Selina, and said, "Selina, you''re right. It''s time for me to return."


    After Caroline left, Selina set off to leave for home too.


    She received a phone call from Natalie at this moment.


    Natalie''s anxious voice appeared, "Selina, it''s bad, things have gone wrong!"


    Selina tried to calm her down by saying, "Natalie, please calm down. What is going on?"

    Natalie said, "Selina, you''ve got to think of a solution quick. Dad just woke up and said he wants to call Matthew. Can you think of a solution?"


    Selina was stunned.


    She thought, ''Why would Grandpa suddenly want to talk to Matthew?''


    The conversation was not hard, as Peter could just call Matthew directly.


    But what if Matthew revealed the news of their divorce, not knowing that Peter had not been told by the Whitlocks?


    "Should we get a man to act as Matthew and talk to Grandpa?" Selina suggested.


    Natalie objected straightaway.


    "Grandpa knows Matthew well. He would be able to tell immediately."
