Chapter 1368


    Saoirse''s eyes filled with tears. "Liselle, William really loves that woman. He would rather ruin himself than ept my help. Does he really see something in her? Liselle, I don''t understand. What do Ick that he sees in her?"


    A trace of hatred shed across Liselle''s eyes.


    She patted Saoirse''s back. "Miss, you''re so much better than that woman. Don''t you know what people are talking about? You''re so much more beautiful than she is. It''s just that she has too many tricks up her sleeve. Miss, you can''t beat her this way."


    Saoirse''s tears flowed continuously. "Liselle, sometimes I really want to give up and leave."


    "Miss, you can''t think this way. If you leave, you''re letting her win. You can''t think this way. How can you give in to an outsider?"Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    She murmured painfully, "Is she the outsider or am I the outsider? Sometimes I feel like I''m the third party in this."


    "Miss, she''s the outsider," Lily said affirmatively.


    Saoirse stayed silent.


    She sniffled and finally stopped crying.


    Liselle hurriedly brought over the coffee from the coffee table.


    "Miss, take a sip of coffee and calm down."


    Saoirse took the coffee from Liselle and drank it.


    She didn''t look as pale anymore.


    She lowered her gaze. She didn''t know whether she was talking to Liselle or to herself. "Although back then William was apprehensive about getting married to me, he said it himself that he wanted to marry me. That''s why I didn''t leave. He must have had some feelings for me when he said he wanted to marry me. Liselle, don''t you think so?"


    Guilt shed across Liselle''s eyes.


    She remembered what she had done.


    Only she knew the truth. Only she knew why Matthew had promised to marry Saoirse at that time.


    Matthew returned to the bedroom.


    "Who were you talking to just now?" Selina asked curiously.


    Matthew looked at Selina. He didn''t hide the truth from her. "Saoirse."


    Selina''s breathing caught in her throat.


    Her voice quavered. "What did she say?"


    "She didn''t say much."


    "Didn''t she say she would help you?" Selina looked into Matthew''s eyes.


    Matthew sat down beside Selina and said, "I rejected it."


    Selina fell silent.


    She spoke up after awhile. "Matthew, I just thought of something."


    "What?"


    "Why would the media have proof of your marriage with Saoirse? Where did they get the marriage certificate? Was it from Saoirse?"


    Matthew raised his eyebrows. "I did have my suspicions, but Saoirse denied it."


    "Who could it be then?"


    "I''ll look into it. Don''t worry."


    He had too much on his te at the moment and he couldn''t fully investigate this matter. Still, once the matters at hand had been resolved, he would investigate it thoroughly.


    "Matthew, there''s someone I suspect."


    "Go ahead."


    "Liselle." Selina''s eyes glowed. "I think it''s probably her."


    Cecilia finally returned the next day.


    Cecilia had gone out for a few days not because she was visiting some friends, but because Peter wasing.


    Cecilia knew that Peter mustn''te back. Otherwise, the consequences of Peter knowing what had happened would be unimaginable.


    One of Peter''s oldrades happened to be in Lincon City.


    Cecilia had gone to visit this oldrade and tried to find a way to get him to invite Peter to visit Lincon City. That way, it would be possible for Peter to stay there for a long time.


    However, it couldn''t be arranged so easily. Cecilia had been gone for a few days before she coulde back.


    Once Peter had settled down, Cecilia immediately rushed back.


    After all, she was worried about the situation here.


    Natalie and Selina hadn''t expected that Cecilia had been gone for a few days because of this.


    Natalie couldn''t help but say, "Mom, why didn''t you tell us that Grandpa was back at that time?"


    Cecilia sighed. "I didn''t want you to worry before the issue was settled, but everything is all right now. Don''t worry, Dad will stay with hisrade for a month."


    Selina asked worriedly, "Why does Grandpa want toe back again? Does he know something?"


    "I don''t know." Cecilia said with


    certainty, "Don''t you think Grandpa would immediatelye back if he knew something? I''m sure he wants toe back because he''s been wondering why you and Matthew haven''t had the wedding yet."


    Selina bit her lip.


    She said guiltily, "Mom, it''s my fault for making you worry."


    Usually, Cecilia would have given her a lecture by now. But not this time.


    She knew that her daughter had enough on her te.


    "Selina, could you cut some fruits for me? I''m hungry after rushing home," Cecilia said.


    Selina went to the kitchen to cut some fruits.


    Cecilia said to Natalie softly, "How are you doing? Did Selina manage to find anything?"


    Natalie looked puzzled. "Mom, Selina knows everything."


    Cecilia''s expression changed.


    Natalie continued, "Mom, don''t worry. Selina will be all right."


    She whispered a few words in Cecilia''s ear.


    Cecilia was shocked.


    She had never expected so many things to happen in just a few days when she was not around!


    "Why would Matthew tell the public about this? Isn''t he afraid?" Cecilia stopped when Selina came out of the kitchen with some fruits.


    "Mom, eat some fruits," Selina said.


    Cecilia ate a piece of fruit.


    "Selina, Natalie, you both have some as well," Cecilia said.


    Selina and Natalie each took a piece of fruit.


    Although they were all eating fruits, they were each thinking about different things.


    That evening, Cecilia came up with an excuse for Selina to spend some time ying with Hayden.


    "When you weren''t around, Hayden kept shouting, wanting to y with his aunt. Now that you are here, you should spend more time with him. I just heard from Natalie that yden is back from kindergarten


    Selina agreed immediately.


    She knew that Cecilia was finding an excuse for her to leave. She wanted to have a good talk with Natalie.


    Before Selina went to find Hayden, she pulled


    Natalie aside and said, "Natalie, please tell my mom not to overthink. Matthew and I will work out what''s going on between us. I don''t want her to


    worry."


    "I understand." Natalie said, "I know what to say. You just y with Hayden and don''t think too much about it."


    "Thank you, Natalie."


    "You don''t have to thank me. This is only what I should do."


    Selina went to the yroom to y with Hayden.


    Hayden rushed up to Selina the moment he saw her. "Aunt, are you feeling better now?"


    Selina sat down. "How did you know about the small matter of me being unhappy?"
