Chapter 1021


    Matthew''s voice was polite but distant. "It''s not necessary, but thank you anyway."


    After saying that, Matthew left directly.


    Jenna felt drained.


    Alisha walked over with an excited look on her face. "Have you guys agreed on a date for dinner?" Jenna''s tone was filled with slight disappointment, "Mr. Perry said that he didn''t have the time."


    Alisha was stunned for a moment.


    A flicker of confusion shed through her eyes.


    As a manager, she had seen many incidents between a man and a woman.


    With Jenna''s beauty, it shouldn''t have been a problem for her to invite a man for a meal. She had not expected Jenna to be rejected.


    It was the same that night.


    Everyone had dinner, had a nice chat together and finally headed to their own respective rooms.


    Selina did not mention wanting to return to the Perry family home after her previous experience.


    After getting into the room, Matthew saw some


    National Geographic magazines on his pillow.


    A look of confusion shed through his eyes.


    Selina said as casually as she could, "Don''t you like these? I just happened to see them in a bookstore earlier, so I bought a few."


    "You bought it specially for me?" Matthew stared into Selina''s eyes.


    Selina felt inexplicably nervous with Matthew staring at her in that way.


    She had wanted to say, "Of course not, it was just a random purchase." However, she was too nervous to say anything.


    A dim light shed through Matthew''s eyes.


    After a while, the man said coldly, "I don''t need it."Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Selina was stunned for a moment.


    Since she specially bought those magazines for Matthew, she thought that he should at least be happy, but she didn''t expect him to act so indifferently about it.


    She couldn''t help but blurt out, "Why? Don''t you like reading these books?"


    Matthew looked down at Selina, and there were all sorts ofplicated emotions surging in his eyes, he said, "Selina, don''t you know that by doing this, you would cause me to misunderstand?"


    The fact that she was with Dn circted constantly in his head. He didn''t think that it was appropriate for her to do all those things. Otherwise, his heart, which he had tried so hard to close to her, would start to waver again.


    Selina''s eyshes trembled for a moment. "What kind of misunderstanding?" "Don''t you know?" Matthew''s tone was hoarse, and it echoed in Selina''s head. Selina stopped breathing for a moment.


    After a moment, an indescribable feeling of being wronged surged over her.


    She had bought him some books, only to receive a chilly and confusing response.


    Why was he so afraid that others would misunderstand?


    Did he so desperately want to end the rtionship between them?


    The anger in her suddenly surged up.


    Selina grabbed a few books and was about to tear them into pieces, "Since you don''t like them, I''ll tear them all!"


    However...


    The paper was of such a good quality that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t damage it in any way


    An awkward expression appeared on her fair face.


    "If it can''t be torn apart, I''ll throw it out." Selina was about to rush to the door but was pulled back by Matthew.


    "Let go of me." Selina struggled.


    Matthew pushed her against the wall, wrapping her in his arms.


    Matthew''s voice was low, "I appreciate your good intentions. Just be good."


    When Selina was enthralled by anger, she couldn''t care less about anything else, let alone think straight.


    Her eyes turned red. "I''m not going to be good. I''m going to throw these books away!"


    She had bought those books for him, only to meet such a reception. How could she take that?


    "I won''t buy any books for you ever again."


    Selina was about to crawl out from under Matthew''s arm, but she was firmly constrained by Matthew.


    Selina hit Matthew''s upper body, "Let me go."


    Matthew pursed his lips without letting her go.


    "B*stard, I hate you!" Selina shouted.


    By then, faint sounds could be heard from outside.


    Matthew''s brows immediately furrowed. "Selina, cut it out." "B*stard, let me go." Selina didn''t hear the sounds from outside at all.


    Matthew suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the lips.


    Selina was shocked.


    Her hand that was originally hitting Matthew dropped, and her other


    hand that was holding on ting


    the


    books fell too, causing the books to fall onto the ground.


    She felt like her blood was about to freeze.


    It was not the first time they had kissed.


    However, she had never felt like that before.


    It was as if her entire world hade to a sudden halt.


    Of course, this might not be considered a kiss at all.


    This was because Matthew was just trying to block Selina''s lips without making any other moves. However, this was enough to shock Selina.


    After a long time, Matthew finally let go of Selina.


    He sounded apologetic, "I heard sounds from outside. I was afraid it was Peter, so..."


    Selina looked at Matthew and then lowered her


    head.


    "Oh," Selina said in a low voice.


    A surprised look shed across Matthew''s eyes.


    He had thought that Selina would be agitated and disgusted by his impulsive actions, but she had not been.


    After a while, Matthew came to his senses. He thought to himself that maybe Selina had realized the urgency of the situation.


    He picked up the magazines on the floor and said, "I appreciate these."


    Selina didn''t say anything. She got to bed andy down, then covered her face with the quilt.


    After being kissed by Matthew, she found that she was in an absent-minded state.


    After a long time, she finally stretched out a finger and put it on her lips.


    His lips were still wet, and it seemed to be traces left by Matthew.


    She felt electrified again.


    Selina''s eyshes slightly trembled.


    get


    What on earth was going on with her? She had been so angry, but anger Kad disappeared the moment Matthew kissed her, and she was suddenly feeling all weird.


    What on earth was going on?


    It was a long, sleepless night for Selina.


    At midnight, she quietly stepped out of the bed and left the room.


    She needed to talk to someone.


    But there was no one to be seen at this hour.


    Finally, Selina found Rocky.


    When she had brought Rocky back to the Whitlock family''s house, she had prepared a huge doghouse for Rocky.


    It was fortunate that Rocky wasn''t asleep yet.


    When Rocky saw Selina, it ran to her side and licked her affectionately.


    Selina held onto Rocky.


    She stroked Rocky''s fur and said, "Rocky, why aren''t you asleep yet? Did you have trouble sleeping like me?"


    Rocky barked a few times.


    There was a reaction within Selina''s


    eyes. "Rocky, let me tell you something. I suddenly realize that I''m bing weird. Something is wrong with me. I don''t even know what''s going on. It''s like I''ve been controlled by something. Why don''t you tell me what''s wrong with me?"


    In this period, she had never once thought of Dn. On the contrary, she had thought of Matthew endlessly.


    What''s more, she had been emotionally affected by this man.


    Selina sighed and said, "Is it because human nature is indeed depraved? Yeah, it''s probably just because I''m not used to how he''s treating me.


    Right?"
