Chapter 1257


    Selina couldn''t do anything but let Matthew deepen their kiss.


    Meanwhile, Erine had returned from plucking cabbages.


    When she saw Selina and Matthew kissing on the couch, she dropped the cabbages that she was holding. They fell onto the ground.


    It took some time for her toe back to her senses.


    She quietly picked up the cabbages and slipped away.


    A grin appeared on her face.


    She knew it! She knew that despite whatever conflict they had, Mr. Perry and Miss Whitlock would quickly make up. It was because they were destined for each other!


    The kiss ended atst.


    Selina almost couldn''t breathe.


    Her face had turned a little purple.


    She red at Matthew. "Matthew, you jerk!"


    She hadn''t forgotten that he hadn''t given her an exnation. He had kissed her instead.


    "Selina, Saoirse will go back to Germany."


    She was startled by this news.


    "What did you say?"


    "When I sent her off, she promised me that she would fly back to Germany."


    Her breathing quickened at his words.


    Did her return to Germany meant that this whole thing had finallye to an end?


    But how could this matter be concluded so easily?


    She couldn''t help but probe, "Are you sure? Did she really say that?"


    "I''m sure."


    A mix of emotions shed through her eyes.


    "So this matter is considered over?"


    He replied in a low voice, "I think so."


    Selina thought about it for a moment before saying, "Do you want to go back to Germany with her?"


    Matthew looked at her in confusion.


    She continued, "You married her. Since this matter is over, I think you two should get a divorce. You would need to go back to Germany with her toplete the divorce procedures."


    Matthew fell silent for a moment.


    "What do you mean?" Matthew''s silence rmed her.


    He hugged her once more.


    His lips brushed against her ear as he said in a low voice, "Selina, listen to me. Saoirse doesn''t want to get a divorce. Although there''s nothing between us, and she is aware that I''m with you, she still wants to keep our marriage as some sort of keepsake. Selina, I can''t refuse her because I already owe her too much. Can you understand where I''ming from?"


    Selina felt as if her heart was being pricked by a thousand tiny needles.


    Although it wasn''t that painful, each stab left her feeling envious.


    Matthew''s words made sense, but she still felt ufortable.


    She couldn''t stop herself. "Matthew, that would mean I have to share you with another woman."Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "My dearest, of course not!" He raised his voice and said, "My heart and all that I own belongs to you. Besides the marriage certificate we got in Germany, there is nothing between Saoirse and I. Nothing happened between us during our short six-month marriage."


    "Really? "Isn''t your heart moved by such a beautiful woman?"


    "I only find you beautiful. No other woman canpare to you."


    Although her heart felt lighter, she still couldn''t hold herself back from retorting, "You''re talking nonsense now. Anyone can easily see that Saoirse is prettier than I am."


    "No, you are more beautiful." His gaze was fixed on her, as if she was the only person in the whole world.


    She was convinced by the way he looked at her.


    She couldn''t help herself from asking another question. "Did nothing really happen between the both of you during that six months?"


    He answered her sincerely. "I assure you, I spent almost all of that time lying in bed in a daze. How could anything happen?"


    Selina''s eyshes trembled slightly.


    She finally relented. "Well, I choose to believe you then."


    He took her hand. "Besides, if Saoirse finds someone she loveszin the future and gradually moves on from this rtionship, I will divorce her Selina thought about it and nodded. "I hope that happens."


    Matthew looked into her eyes. "Have you forgiven me now?" Selina bit her lip.


    If she were honest, she really didn''t want to forgive him so soon.


    After all, this was a huge deal. He had gotten married behind her back! If she forgave him after only a few


    Owouldn''t it mean that she was


    dashover?


    a


    She should leave now so that he would keep asking for forgiveness. She would only forgive him if he kept apologising.


    After thinking it through, she decided against it.


    She and Matthew wanted to live a peaceful life,just like her brother and sister-inw. She didn''t want them to constantly torment each other.


    Plus, she also knew that the marriage was not what he had wanted. He had stuck in a dilemma. It had been painful and tiring for him.


    If she really liked Matthew, why should she cause more trouble for him?


    "Okay, I''ve forgiven you."


    His eyes glowed faintly. "Selina, thank you for understanding."


    J.ne


    She forced a smile. "Oh! I heard from my brother that you went to Germany back then to settle your father''s affairs. What exactly happened? How did you solve it?"


    His breath caught in his throat.


    Scenes of battles and blood shed through his mind.


    His head started to throb.


    He asked in a low voice, "Selina, can we talk about these things another time?"


    She was slightly taken aback.


    "Why can''t we talk about it now?"


    He pursed his lips.


    Just as Selina was about to continue asking, a ringtone suddenly sounded.


    It was her phone.


    She nced at her phone and saw that Lothar was calling.


    She picked up. "Lothar?"


    Instead of Lothar''s voice, it was Yesseca''s.


    Yesseca was sobbing. "Miss Selina, can you pleasee over? Something happened to my brother. He''s in the hospital now."


    Selina''s breath caught in her throat.


    "Wait for a bit. I''ll be right there."


    She hung up and turned to Matthew. "Take me to the hospital now!" "What''s the matter?"


    "Lothar''s in trouble."


    They rushed to the hospital.


    Unexpectedly, Yesseca wasn''t on the hospital bed when they arrived. Rather, she was waiting anxiously outside an operating room.


    She ran over to Selina the moment she saw her.


    But she was too weak and fell after taking a few steps.


    Selina rushed forward to support her. "What''s going on, Yesseca?"


    She wiped her tears. "Something happened to my brother, so I took his phone and called you. There''s no one else I can trust besides you, Miss


    Whitlock."


    "What happened to him?"


    "Someone rushed into the ward and beat him up. He was beaten up very badly. He fainted after the police came to take the man away."


    Selina was furious. "Who dared to hit your brother? I''ll definitely find him."


    "I don''t know. I''ve never seen that person before," was the reply.
