A hint of hatred appeared in Lothar's eyes at the thought of Reid.
Boom! Perhaps it was because he was too absentminded that he accidentally bumped into a girl who was walking towards him.
Lothar was just about to apologize when he suddenly froze.
Wasn't this Yesseca?! Lothar's heart was filled with joy.
"Little..." Lothar was just about to speak when he stopped mid-sentence.
"Uncle, are you alright?" Yesseca looked at Lothar with concern.
"Uncle?" He looked at Yesseca in astonishment.
Yesseca didn't find anything strange.
She looked very guilty. "Uncle, do you wantto take you to the hospital for a check-up?" Lothar couldn't explain the feelings that were welling up in his heart.
He waved his hand and turned to leave.
His impulse to reconcile with Yesseca was gone.
How could he meet Yesseca in his current state! Even his plan to meet Selina had been put on hold.
He didn't know how to face Selina.
Lothar took the bus back to Essie's home.
Essie had told him that she would try to restore his appearance, and it wouldn't take too long.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLothar had decided to put things off until he was completely healed.
Yesseca calling him an "Uncle" reminded him that he couldn't face her or Selina in his current state.
Natalie tried to persuade Selina for the whole afternoon, but she stubbornly stood her ground.
At first, she would refute Natalie, but in the end, she pretended to not hear what Natalie was saying. Natalie lost hope eventually and didn't know what to do. Tpassed by in the blink of an eye, and it was already six o'clock in the evening.
They were about to go to the Whitlock family's home.
Selina on the other hand...
Natalie was terrified that Selina would tell Cecilia what she had said to her when they arrived at the Whitlock family's home.
After sconsideration, she called Tobias.
She explained everything to Tobias and asked him to talk to Selina.
However, Tobias remained silent for a long tbefore finally saying, "Just let Selina be," Natalie was speechless.
She said in shock, "Tobias, how could you say that? How can Selina break up with Matthew now that she's pregnant? Mom will die of anger," Tobias wore a bitter look on his face on the other end of the line.
It was better for Cecilia to die of anger than for her to find out the truth about Selina.
He had gone over all the possibilities in the past few days, but to no avail.
Tobias knew that Selina wouldn't live for long.
He wanted to fulfill Selina's wishes for her remaining tbefore death so that she could leave without regrets. "Natalie, everyone has their own opinion. You can't force it." Natalie's mind was in a mess.
What was going on? It was enough that Selina was acting weird, but now, even Tobias had changed.
Not only was Tobias calm and collected when she told him about this, he even sided with Selina! Natalie felt like she was going crazy.
After a while, Natalie took a deep breath and said, "Tobias, Matthew and Selina will be coming to the Whitlock family's htonight. You should ctoo. Since you're not willing to persuade them, Selina will definitely have a showdown with Mom tonight. God knows what will happen then!" Forty minutes later, Tobias's car stopped in front of the Perry family's villa.
Matthew, Selina and Natalie walked out.
Initially, Natalie wanted to get in Tobias's car, but Tobias looked at Selina. "Natalie, go with Matthew. Selina will ride with me," Natalie instantly understood.
On the surface, Tobias agreed with Selina. However, in fact, he still wanted to persuade her.
She immediately said to Selina, "Selina, you can ride with Tobias. I'll go with Matthew," Selina entered Tobias's car.
The two cars shot out like arrows leaving the bow.
"Natalie, did you ask Tobias to chere?" Matthew suddenly asked.
Natalie nodded. "Yes, I called him just now." A dim light flashed across Matthew's eyes. "Natalie, you've done so much, but I need to fix this on my own." Natalie understood, but she also wanted to help Matthew and Selina.
"Matthew, were there any signs that Selina wanted to break up with you? Did anything happen before this? Is it only because of Saoirse?" Natalie asked casually.
Matthew frowned when he heard this.
Signs? Not that he could think of.
However, too many things had happened recently. First, it was the issue with Saoirse, then Lothar. After that, Caroline passed away...
Matthew's frown deepened.
Were these problems affecting Selina's mental health? The atmosphere inside the car was tense.
"Tobias, just say what you want to say." Selina broke the silence first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTobias glanced at Selina. It felt as if his heart was being squashed by a pair of invisible hands. "Selina, do you really want to do this?" Selina smiled bitterly. "I've made this clear to you long ago, haven't I?" "Are you aware of how much pressure and misunderstanding you have to endure?" "That's better than having so many people watch helplessly as I die." After a pause, Selina's voice softened. "Tobias, are you in pain?" Tobias held his breath.
The expression on his face said it all.
Ever since he found out that Selina was going to die, he had been suffering day and night.
"So," Selina stared at Tobias quietly, "you don't want Mom, Natalie and Matthew to bear such pain, do you?" There was a buzzing sound in Tobias's head.
He looked depressed.
Selina was filled with guilt as she said, "Sorry, Tobias. I shouldn't have told you about this. You are also in pain now," "Selina," Tobias suddenly reached
out and gripped Selina's arm. "You have more on your plate than I have at the moment. Selina, how did I get to have a silly little sister like you?" en.swhovels Selina stared at Tobias's hand, which was still gripping her tightly.
A lump formed in her throat. "Tobias, don't say anything tonight, okay? Don't explain on my behalf, okay? Just let everyone misunderstand, okay? Don't you wantto go peacefully?" Tobias felt like his heart was being torn apart.
After a long time, he finally nodded.
They finally arrived at the Whitlock family.
Four of them got out of the car, and each had their own thoughts.
Matthew wanted to hold Selina's hand after getting out of the car, but Selina withdrew it.
Matthew glanced at Selina with gloomy eyes.
When they arrived, Cecilia didn't say much as she invited them to start the meal.
After dinner, Cecilia spoke in front of Matthew.
At this point, there was nothing to hide. This matter had to be out in the open.
"Matthew, Selina, what happened to the both of you recently? Although I can't participate in your marriage, I'm n still an elder. Seeing your conflict, I still have to mediate ne it.
Cecilia was still being tactful with her words.
