Chapter 1223


    Matthew''s grasp stiffened.


    Saoirse looked at Matthew with her beautiful eyes, and spoke with a voice full of emotion and firmness, "I don''t want anything. I only want you. I don''t need the things you give. All I care about is you."


    Liselle also chimed in, "Sir, Miss Saoirse just wants to be with you after waiting for you for so many years."


    Matthew''s lips pursed into a straight line.


    At the Perry family vi.


    Selina and Prine had just finished preparing lunch together.


    Taking into ount Matthew''s preference for food, they''d opted for dishes that were milder in taste.


    Selina was not really a fan of mild-tasting food as she would get bored if she ate them too frequently.


    She could not help but mutter, "I still prefer food with lots of spices over nd ones like these. I don''t know why Matthew likes light food so much. I wouldn''t be able to stand it if I had to eat them every day."


    Erine chuckled, "The food preference matches a person''s personality."


    It was the first time Selina heard such a statement. She looked at Erine with curiosity and asked, "How is that so?"


    How could food preference match a person''s personality?


    Erine exined, "For example, people with hot tempers usually prefer food seasoned heavily with spices. Such as salty, and spicy. Whereas, gentle individuals like Mr. Perry prefer light- vored dishes."


    Selina felt that Erine''s words seemed to make sense.


    However...


    She looked at Erine and asked, "Erine, how did you know about this?"


    Erine had never mentioned this to Selina in the past.


    Erine smiled sheepishly and admitted, "I saw it on TV some time ago. I thought it was meaningful, so I wrote it down."


    Seline carefully thought of what Erine said again.


    Matthew really had a gentle nature.


    Except when they were in bed together.


    Selina proceeded to have her lunch first before getting the lunch box ready.


    The lunch box had threeyers. The firstyer had beef stew in it, the secondyer was filled with stir-fried vegetables, and the thirdyer was mashed potatoes.


    After preparing the lunch box, Selina set off.


    However, when she arrived at the Perry Group, there was not a single soul in the president''s office.


    Selina was about to call Matthew, when she suddenly saw Matthew''s assistant at the door.


    She called out to the assistant, "Where is Mr. Perry?"


    The assistant was surprised to see Selina at the office.


    "Mr. Perry is not at the office," the assistant replied.


    "Did something happened?" Selina asked instinctively.


    The assistant shook his head, "No, Mr. Perry has been busy these few days, and he handed all his work to the executives. He said that he would note to the office for some time."


    Selina''s facial expression changed.


    Seeing the sudden change in Selina''s expression, the assistant felt that something was wrong.


    Could it be that Selina had not been informed about it?


    Did he say something wrong?


    "Miss Whitlock, do you want to have a seat?" the assistant stammered.


    "No need," Selina went towards the elevator and pressed the button.


    Her mind was in a mess.


    She initially thought Matthew was too busy at work to go collect the marriage certificate, but now he wasn''t even at the office.


    Moreover, he had handed over all his work for the past few days to his executives.


    Where exactly was he?


    As the elevator reached the first floor, Selina dialed Matthew''s number.


    The phone rang for a long time before it was connected.


    "Where are you?" Selina asked immediately.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    There was a moment of silence.


    "You''re not at the office, right?" Selina asked, no longer able to control her emotions.


    Matthew''s breath was obviously unstable, "Yes."


    "Then, where are you? What are you doing?" Selina almost shouted into her phone.


    Matthew did not speak.


    Selina was furious.


    Matthew''s mysterious acts were starting to get on Selina''s nerves. She had no idea what he was up to!


    "Matthew, count to three. If you


    don''t tell me, I''ll hang up. I won''t talk


    to you anymore," Selina felt irritated


    and helpless, so she could only threaten him.


    "Selina, give me some time," Matthew''s voice was hoarse.


    "One, two, three," Selina deliberately counted, but he still did not say anything. Selina threw a tantrum and hung up the phone.


    She stormed out of the elevator angrily.


    What was Matthew hiding from her?


    Selina almost threw her phone away. She wanted to throw the lunch.


    box in her hand too. How


    last


    she came to her senses at minute and held on to it tightly.


    Selina took a deep breath to calm herself down.


    She shouldn''t act on impulse. She needed to control her emotions well.


    Did she not say she wanted to be a good wife? Why was she acting like a child?


    Selina came to the conclusion that something must have happened to Matthew.


    But...


    She snorted coldly. Him hiding anything from her was already wrong. Moreover, even after she had asked on the phone, he still refused to tell her.


    Selina switched off her phone.


    She did not intend to do anything. She just thought that if Matthew want to make her anxious, she would also make him anxious.


    Not long after, Selina suddenly remembered something.


    Even though her phone was switched off, Matthew could still find her.


    It must be because Selina had a mobile phone with her.


    Selina decided to take a step further to teach Matthew a lesson!


    Selina returned to the Perry Group and went to Matthew''s office. She put her mobile phone on the office table and left.


    Outside, she walked aimlessly. She had no idea where to go.


    Initially, Selina had wanted to find Natalie, but thinking that she would expose herself to Matthew if she did so, therefore she did not proceed with


    her n.


    After thinking for a while, Selina thought of Lothar.


    Since she did not have a phone, she


    simply borrowed a passer-by''s phone to catt Lothar. It was a good thing that she had an excellent memory, and she remembered his phone number correctly. It also helped that she was pretty and fair-skinned, hence the passer-by was more than willing to help her out.


    When Selina called Lothar, Lothar was feeding Yesseca.


    Each time he fed Yesseca, he was very careful.


    The patient beside them praised Lothar, "This is the best brother I''ve ever seen. Yesseca, you''re so lucky."


    It was rare for a family member to care for their loved ones even at their sickbed. Nevertheless, Lothar managed to do that for Yesseca.


    Yesseca beamed happily.


    She held onto Lothar''s arm, "That''s right. He treats me the best. He''s the best brother in the world."


    Lothar patted Yesseca''s head and coaxed dotingly, "Yesseca is the best sister in the world."


    Suddenly, his cell phone rang.


    An unknown number.


    Yesseca looked at Lothar and asked, "Is someone asking you to be their talent?"


    Recently, Lothar had been in the hospital with her and had not gone out.
