Selina did not even need to concern herself with childcare since Matthew handled it on his own.

Whenever she spoke with family and friends, they all showered her with remarks on how fortunate her life had become.

Selina couldn't stop smiling at this.

So much so that she chuckled aloud in real life too.

Matthew suddenly heard a sound in the middle of the night.

He opened his eyes to discover that Selina was the source of it.

The corners of her lips were raised, just like a small mouse that had been successful in its secret attempt to crawl onto the top of the stove. She had a very pleased and satisfied smile on her face. Matthew couldn't stop himself from laughing at this scene.

Under the moonlight that cast in through the window, his eyes couldn't help but be drawn to her.

The more he stared at her, the prettier she looked.

All of a sudden, overwhelming happiness welled up in his heart.

Many years ago, he had painted her countless times.

Not even in his wildest dreams had he thought that the woman who'd stepped into his paintings and into his heart, would one day belong to him.

It all felt so surreal.

He had once been wallowing in despair.

He didn't think that they would even have half of a chance of being together.

However, a flower had abruptly bloomed in the midst of dirt, and things were starting to take a turn.

Matthew gently caressed Selina's face.

Her skin was smooth to the touch.

Although she was no longer an eighteen-year-old young lady, and it would be logical for one's youthful beauty to fade away, there were no traces of aging to be seen on her. She looked no different from when she was eighteen.

Her skin was still as fair and as alluring as ever, brimming with collagen.

Her eyes were still as pure as an eighteen-year-old young woman's own, not even the least bit tainted by the outside world.

His grin deepened upon this thought.

A sense of relief flooded his heart.

He was lucky to have come to his senses in the nick of time last night.
