Matthew did not say a word.

The longer Selina stared at him, the redder the rims of her eyes became.

A hint of mist gradually clouded her eyes, hiding her misery, grievances, and dread. It made her inky dark eyes appeared even murkier.

After some time had passed, Matthew finally broke the silence and said, "Selina, spare me some of your time. Let's have a good talk with each other."

"No!" She adamantly refused his offer, "I have nothing to say to you. Leave!"

Matthew's feet did not move at her command.

She chuckled darkly at this, "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!"

After saying that, she stood up and strode off.

Matthew quickly blocked her path, "Selina, please listen to my explanation."

She just roughly hit away his outreaching hands.

In a snap of a second, Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist and embraced her.

This left her in quite a bit of shock.

Matthew then put his chin against her forehead and said in a husky tone, "Listen to me."

"I don't need to!"

Selina fiercely resisted his hug. Her dainty face was veiled with a layer of frostiness, making her appear extremely frigid.

She cried out to Lothar who was standing by the sidelines, "Lothar, what on earth are you waiting for? Come and give me a hand!"

Her cries helped Lothar snapped back to reality.

He rushed forward, but was unsure of how to help.

Matthew casted a dark glance at him, his gaze filled with boundless intimidation.

His glare halted Lothar's breath.

All of a sudden, Selina sunk her teeth into Matthew's shoulder hard. The sharp pain caused Matthew to released his grasp on Selina. Selina's voice rang with fury and humiliation, "I don't want to listen to a single word you have to say. Just get out!"
