Chapter 1042


    It turned out that the "Matthew" that the woman had referred to was actually the Matthew she knew.


    Matthew''s gaze swept over Jenna, and a dim glint shed in his eyes.


    He had wanted to leave directly. Jenna indeed suffered an unexpected incident, but this was due to her own greed.


    Whether it was Jenna''s or herpany''s doing, it had resulted in a scandal.


    Jenna caused this upon herself.


    However, he saw the handprint on her face, which was a result of the p...


    Matthew walked over and looked at Jenna''s face. "I will ask my subordinate to take you to the hospital for the injury on your face. Rainee is too willful. I apologize on her behalf."


    In a moment, Jenna felt less aggrieved.


    Tears welled up in her eyes.


    "Don''t worry, I''m fine." Jenna shook her head.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Matthew had originally nned to leave, but then said, "However, in the end, I still want to give you a piece of advice. Since you''re working in the notorious entertainment circle, you should be down-to-earth instead of resorting to ying petty tricks. You might receive the same treatment from others."


    Jenna was taken aback.


    She nodded. "I understand, Mr. Perry."


    Selina turned her head when she saw Jenna and Matthew talking.


    She could not see Matthew''s expression from this angle, but she could see Jenna''s.


    She noted Jenna''s expression, and she understood immediately.


    She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.


    Selina asked the chauffeur to drive back to the Whitlock family house.


    What was there left for her to look at when the show was about toe to an end?


    When Selina got home, she was in a bad mood, so she decided to sit on a couch with a tablet to watch a movie. She didn''t move until Cecelia pulled Natalie to the spot next to her have a chat.


    "Selina, what are you doing there? Let''s have a chat," said Cecelia.


    Selina replied in the affirmative, put down her tablet and sat down.


    Cecilia and Natalie talked about the child in Natalie''s belly.


    Although Selina was not in the mood, she added, "Natalie, you''re going to give birth soon, right?"


    She remembered that Natalie had told her that she would be giving birth in less than a month. However, she had yet to see anything of the sort happening.


    Natalie touched her belly and said, "Originally, it should have been this week, but there are no signs that I''ll be giving birth soon, so I don''t know what''s going on."


    Ceciliaforted Natalie. "This is normal. Some people give birth a month after their estimated delivery date."


    Natalie was surprised. "That''s pretty long."


    Cecilia nodded. "That''s right."


    There was a sh of worry in her eyes when she said, "Natalie, a doctor will being to check on you this afternoon."


    Natalie immediately replied, "I went to a pregnancy check-up a few days ago, and the child is doing fine."


    Cecilia shook her head. "It''s Peter who wants to see the baby. Peter might go back if you don''t give birth within these few days."


    Natalie was silent.


    "Mom, Grandpa is going back?" Selina suddenly asked.


    There was a slight change in her expression.


    "Yes," Cecilia said. "There''s something he needs to take care of in the United States, so he has to go back."


    Selina''s mood was moreplex. After a while, she forced a smile and said, "That''s great, that means I won''t have to continue this act with Matthew. He can go back too."


    Cecilia thought for a moment and said, "However, he mighte back again. I''ve heard him saying that he might want to personally see Natalie give birth to a child."


    Not long after, the doctor came to have a check-up for Natalie.


    It was the same as Cecilia had thought. The doctor said it might take a while for the child to be born.


    "It''s normal to have a child after the estimated delivery period has passed. As long as you''re keeping an eye on its heartbeat, everything should be fine," said the doctor.


    Natalie smiled helplessly.


    She thought that she could meet the baby in her belly this week, but she didn''t expect that she still had to wait.


    Peter decided to leave for the United States that night since it would take a while for Natalie to give birth.


    "When the timees, I''lle back. I must be here for the birth of my second great-grandson," Peter specially exined. Natalie smiled and said, "Grandpa, don''t worry. I''m sure you will get to see it."


    Peter smiled.


    After a while, his eyes fell on Selina''s face again, "I also want to see you and Matthew hold a wedding with my own eyes. When will your wedding be?"


    Selina was taken aback.


    Fortunately, Cecilia said, "Peter, you still have to wait, since it will take some time to prepare for a wedding. Besides, Natalie giving birth to a child is one of the happiest events of the year!"


    Peter thought about it and felt it to be true, so he didn''t pressure Selina anymore.


    Peter was preparing to leave in a private ne at 9 o''clock in the evening. Before that, he decided to have dinner with everyone.


    This time, instead of having dinner in the Whitlock family home, they went to a nearby restaurant.


    That restaurant was not luxurious, and the decoration of the restaurant was antique, but


    Peter liked it.


    When the group of people arrived at the restaurant, Natalie was stunned.


    Tobias held her hand tightly. "Natalie, do you still remember?"


    The corners of Natalie''s lips curled up. "Yes, I remember."


    Peter had once brought her to this restaurant to "negotiate" with her and ask her to leave Tobias.


    However, in the blink of an eye, she had be Peter''s granddaughter-inw.


    The gathering this time was joyous,pared to thest time which was nerve-wracking.


    "Natalie, Grandpa likes you a lot." Tobias gazed deeply at Natalie.


    The corners of Natalie''s lips curled up even further. "I know."


    She could tell that Peter really liked her a lot.


    However, a long time ago, this old man who now liked her very much had desperately wanted to throw her into the Pelham River and kill her.


    Natalie sighed in her heart.


    Time could indeed change everything.


    The entire restaurant had been booked because of the arrival of the Whitlock family.


    After the Whitlock family members had arrived, Matthew hadn''t reached yet.


    "Why isn''t Matthew here yet?" Peter asked.


    "He just got off work from thepany. He should arrive momentarily," Tobias exined.


    Peter nodded.


    Selina, in the meantime, had already sat down and was unconsciously ying with her utensils.


    "Look at you right now. You should go out and wee Matthew," said Peter.


    Selina was speechless.


    Sheined, "He''s not a child anymore. Don''t tell me he doesn''t know how toe here himself?"


    "You have to act like a proper wife if you want to be one. Look at Natalie, she''s nothing like you."


    Selina said nothing for a beat.


    She stood up and said, "Fine, I''ll go."


    If she didn''t go, Peter would nag her even further.


    Selina walked down the stairs. As


    soon as she went down, she saw that a Bentley had arrived. The door opened, and a pair of long legs came out of the car.


    A surprised glint shed in Matthew''s eyes when he saw Selina.
