Chapter 1448
She said to Natalie, "Natalie, forget it. It''s better if I don''t go down. I''m afraid that I will lose my temper and say something I might regret. Send them off and observe them, and..."
Cecilia hesitated for a moment. "What was Matthew''s reaction to the photograph of Selina and the man?"
"He didn''t seem to mind. He''s still treating Selina as well as usual." Natalie said.
Cecilia calmed down slightly.
She nodded. "Go send them off then."
After Natalie left, Francia came over and said, "Madam Lawson, what happened between your daughter and Matthew?"
Cecilia didn''t mention her daughter''s intention to divorce. She forced a smile and said, "Madam Godfrey, I''m not in a good mood. Why don''t we talk next time?"
Francia wasn''t stupid.
She immediately said, "Then I won''t bother you anymore, Madam Lawson. We''ll talk next time,"
Francia couldn''t find Bowie when she went downstairs.
She called Bowie.
After a while, Bowie and Francia met at the gate of the vi.
Francia wasn''t satisfied with this trip.
Sheined to Bowie, "Madam Lawson is in a bad mood this day. I told her about the gorgeous new-listed jewellery, but she didn''t offer to buy any for me. I didn''t get any benefit today,"
Bowie had no interest in listening to Francia''sints at all. Her face was full of excitement.
Bowie even smiled at the thought of it.
Francia was dissatisfied with Bowie''s smile.
She pped Bowie''s hand. "What are you smiling at! I''m doing this to prepare for your dowry, but you''re still able to crack a smile."
Bowie was still smiling. "Mom, Matthew will be mine soon."
Francia was stunned.
She recalled Natalie and Cecilia''s conversation from before. She couldn''t help saying, "I think that Natalie said that Selina had a conflict with Matthew,"
Bowie snorted, "It''s not a conflict. Selina finally realized that she can''tpare with me so she has given me her ce,"
Francia was skeptical about Bowie''s words.
She said, "Why don''t you ask your sister Natalie what happened between them?"
Bowie felt disgusted when she heard Francia''s words.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, I won''t go to her. What kind of sister is Natalie? Does she deserve to be my sister? She doesn''t help me at all. Even an outsider is better than her,"
Tobias came back at around midnight.
Natalie was waiting for him.
When Tobias returned, he was surprised to see Natalie still sitting on the couch in the living room. "Natalie, why haven''t you slept yet?"
"I''m waiting for you." Natalie stood up as she spoke.
Tobias''s heart ached.
"Why are you waiting for me? You should rest early." Tobias wrapped his arms around Natalie.
Natalie looked at Tobias with a pale face. "Have you been very busy recently? Youe back sote these days."
Tobias''s face stiffened.
Recently, he had put all his work aside. The reason why he had been leaving early and returningte was that he was looking for a way to save Selina''s life.
However, all his efforts were in vain.
He had to endure the pain of watching his sister get closer to death. However, he still had to hide it from everyone as if nothing had happened.
He was doing this because Selina threatened to kill herself and told him that she wouldn''t be at ease after death if he told everyone the truth.
Tobias knew that if he couldn''t find a
way, Matthew and the others
wouldn''t be able to do anything
either. They could only watch helplessly as Selina drifted closer to death.
If he kept it a secret, at least Selina would die in peace.
Perhaps he would spare the living of the pain from Selina''s death.
What''s worse than death was witnessing a loved one die slowly without being able to do anything.
Just like how he was now.
If everyone knew the truth about
Selina, not only would Matthew, Cecilia, Peter and Natalie be too sad
to live on, but Selina would
also die with a grudge in her heart
He had to hide the truth for Selina.
"Yes, I''ve been very busytely," Tobias said.
Natalie sighed, "I know you should rest early because of how tiring work is, but there is one thing I have to tell you, which may take up some of your time,"
Tobias vaguely guessed that what Natalie had to say was about Matthew and Selina.
He looked tired. "Natalie, I''m really tired. Let''s talk about it next time."
Natalie was a little surprised.
No matter how tired Tobias was, he had always treated her with great patience. This was the first time she had heard that Tobias didn''t want to hear about it.
She thought that it might be because Tobias was exhausted.
"Okay then." Natalie said reluctantly, "Let''s rest first,"
The next day soon arrived.
Matthew didn''t go to thepany.
In such a state, it was impossible for him to go to thepany.
He could vaguely sense the change in Selina''s heart.
First, she went to see Missha, then Dn. In addition, she had been extremely impatient with him

recently, which made Matthew think of only one possibility... Content

Matthew pushed that possibility aside.
He thought that Selina was hurt by the issue with Saoirse, but she had been suppressing it before. It broke out now even though it was over.
It was his fault. He had to try his best to apany Selina so that he could win her heart back.
When Selina went downstairs in the morning, she smelled a fragrance.
Erine happened to pass by.
She stopped in front of Selina with a smile on her face. "Miss Whitlock, you''re up."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
In the past few days, Selina had ignored her greetings, but Erine kept the smile on her face whenever she saw Selina.
Looking at the smile on Erine''s face, Selina was shocked.
A thought suddenly crossed her mind.
Was it right for her to treat Erine in such a cold and rude manner?
Was it right for her to hide her secrets like this?
However, this thought disappeared quickly when an image appeared in her mind.
She was crying as she was surrounded by a crowd.
She looked like an eighty-year-old woman in her vision. She was old enough to be Matthew''s mother or even his grandmother.
Selina was determined to walk past Erine and pretended to not hear her greeting.
Erine added, "Miss Whitlock, Mr. Matthew is preparing breakfast for you in the kitchen,"
Selina was a little stunned.
When she didn''t see Matthew after she got up, she thought that he had gone to work. She didn''t expect that he was making breakfast for her.
Hadn''t he given up?
