Matthew's lips flattened into a straight line.

After some time, the man finally answered.

His voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes were deep with meaning. "Saoirse, there is no 'if. There is no 'if' in this world."

Saoirse's tears finally fell down.

Matthew picked up a tissue to wipe the tears for Saoirse.

However, Saoirse pushed away Matthew's hand and said, "Who are you to help me wipe my tears?"

Matthew's hand stopped.

After a while, he withdrew his hand. "Saoirse, you will find a better man."

Her eyes were red.

Her heart was filled with sorrow.

Where else could she find a better man? There was only Matthew in her heart.

She looked at Matthew with bleary eyes and said, "In that case, let me think about it carefully. I will give you an answer at this time tomorrow."

On the other side, in the Perry family's bedroom.

Selina was awakened.

She should have slept like a log this night and could have slept until dawn.

But it just so happened that she had a nightmare.

She dreamt about being sunk into the river. That feeling where someone was choking her throat until she could not breathe was sweeping over her again. Selina sprang out of her dream abruptly.

She was gasping profusely for air.

When her chest finally felt comfortable, she lay down again.

After a moment, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She sat up again, and she realized that Matthew was not beside her.

She knitted her beautiful brows.
