His gaze and tone were earnest and tender. His eyes were clear as the night sky, withholding countless words that were impossible to express. He stared at Selina deeply, as if she was the only one in the world.

There was only Selina. She was the only one left in his world.

She had never received such an attentive gaze. The look in his eyes was so genuine with genuine feelings for her which could no longer be hidden.

This rendered Selina totally dumbstruck. Did Matthew really like her that much?

His words and sincere eyes made Selina's anger fade away in an instant.

She couldn't help but sit back down.

Her mind was searching through all the memories she and Matthew shared.

She did not seem to have had any intense interactions with Matthew before.

However, judging from Matthew's appearance earlier, it looked like he had a deep sense of affection towards her.

If Matthew had been poor, Selina would have thought that Matthew was treating her this way on purpose in pursuit of the Whitlock family's assets. However, Matthew wasn't. His status was nearly on par with the Whitlock family, and there was nothing of use that Selina could bring to the table. What was the reason, then? Did this man really like her?

"Matthew, do you actually like me that much?" Selina blurted out. "How is it that I never knew?"

A surge of helplessness flashed through Matthew's eyes.

His expression said it all, and only then did Selina recognize it for what it was.

"There are still many things that you don't know, Selina," Matthew said in exasperation. "Your mind is too clouded."

Selina was speechless.

Having asked that question, Selina had felt a little guilty, so she was trying to cover it up by sipping at her coffee.

However, as soon as Matthew finished talking, she spat out the coffee in her mouth.
