The door was left ajar. Matthew pushed the door open.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Cecilia, whose face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and Selina, who was standing there stiffly.

Selina looked stubborn. She pursed her lips tightly together with tears welling up within her eyes.

"Madam Lawson," Matthew called out.

Cecilia looked at Matthew and nodded her head stiffly.

"Matthew, you're here," Cecilia said, sounding exhausted.

"Madam Lawson, please have a seat first. It would be tiring for you to stand for so long," Matthew said.

Then, he looked at Selina and said, "Selina, you should sit down too."

Cecilia nodded and sat on the sofa.

They needed to sit down and talk peacefully.

However, Selina did not want to sit down at all.

She stood there wilfully.

Seeing this, Cecilia sighed.

She saw Matthew shaking his head, signaling her to not reprimand Selina when she was about to do so.

Cecilia sighed and did not say anything.

Then, Matthew talked to Selina softly, "Selina, please sit down."

Selina said stubbornly, "No."

"Are you going to be a statue?" Matthew stared at Selina and said.

"You're right, I want to be a statue."

Matthew felt helpless.

He said in a softer voice, "Please sit down and talk to your mom. Don't be so willful."
