"Sure," Selina agreed.

They didn't sit inside. Instead, they chose the open area outside.

Matthew told the waiter, "One cappuccino, less sugar please."

Selina was surprised.

She looked at Matthew with an expression of shock. "You still remember I like my cappuccino with less sugar."

"I remember everything you like." Matthew fixed his gaze on her and then asked, "Selina, do you remember what I like to drink?"

Selina froze.

After a moment, she nodded awkwardly.

Not only did she not remember what Matthew liked to drink, she never knew in the first place.

Matthew took in Selina's expression and immediately knew what was going on.

His messy state of mind immediately became clear.

Matthew ordered the same cup of coffee as Selina's before glancing at her again.

Seeming to be aware of Matthew's gaze, Selina lowered her head.

Her thick eyelashes concealed the emotions in her eyes, and only the slight blush on her cheeks was visible.

Matthew, who had been momentarily silent, couldn't help but blurt, "Selina, do you really like me, or are you just looking for a new lover?"

Selina went stiff.

She suddenly raised her head. "Matthew, you still don't trust me. Is that what you think of me?"

A hint of bitterness flashed in Matthew's gaze.

Selina bit her lip. Her pink lips turned pale as she said, "Even after telling you everything, you still think that I'm only doing this to forget my past, don't you?"

"Selina," Matthew called, but he was soon interrupted by her.

"If that's what you think, then I'm telling you, it's not true, not at all! " Selina exclaimed.

"It's true that I told you I was seeking for a new relationship to forget my past at first. But back then, I also told you that I would never like you. However, Matthew, I like you now!" Selina said in a single breath. There was sorrow in her gaze as she muttered, "If you still don't believe me, then forget it. Just pretend I never said anything."

She didn't understand. He used to do everything just to make her reciprocate his feelings.

However, now that she was in love with him and had confessed her feelings, he no longer trusted her.

She couldn't understand. She really couldn'.

Selina put away her cup. "You can enjoy your coffee. I'll leave first."

However, just as she was about to go, Matthew suddenly held her in his arms.

Her breathing stuttered.

She could feel the heat from his body flowing through her blood and heading towards her heart.

She knew that she had to push Matthew away.

He didn't believe her anyway. She had to leave.

However, being in his arms, she felt like she could no longer take control of her body. It was as if her energy was drained away completely.

"Let go of me." Selina's voice was a whisper.

Matthew did not release her. On the contrary, he grabbed her hand.

His palm touched hers.

Selina's heart was beating rapidly, and a strange feeling of affection rippled through her.

Matthew's voice was slightly hoarse as he stated, "Selina, I believe you."

Selina trembled.

Matthew continued, "It's just that I'm confused, really confused right now. Can you give me some time to calm down? Please?"

He lowered his tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew stared at Selina.

She felt that his eyes were like diamonds in the night, sparkling and dazzling.

Under that kind of gaze, she could not replace a single word to reject him.

She nodded as she spat out, "Okay."

Then, Matthew and Selina drank their coffee in silence.

All of a sudden, Selina came back to her senses.

Had she just confessed to Matthew?

Had she just told Matthew all the secrets that she had been keeping within herself?

This wasn't her plan at all!

Her fair cheeks suddenly turned red.

What on earth happened to her that day?

Why was she still this furious after confessing to Matthew? Why did a confession look like a quarrel?

She used to flush red and have her

heart speed up at the thought of how she had fallen for Matthew, but she didn't feel that at all while confessing.

She was totally occupied by anger.

Selina felt helpless.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Matthew.

Matthew seemed to be submerged in thought, with surging emotions hidden in his deep, dark eyes.

She blinked.

She was wondering what Matthew thought of her after her confession.

If he liked her, he would be delighted to hear her confession.

However, Matthew didn't seem delighted at all.

If he didn't like her, he would reject

Selina bit her lip.

Perhaps, like what Matthew told her, he was just confused.

Selina couldn't help but keep stealing glances at

Matthew.

She was trying to read his expression.

However, not only did she fail to do so, Matthew noticed her as well.

"Are you spying on me?" he asked in a low voice from beside Selina's ear.

His voice was pleasant and

magnetic. It had a profound taste to

it, like

for ages.

Selina panicked.

She quickly lowered her head and denied it. "No."

She took a sip of coffee.

A mysterious glint of light appeared in Matthew's eyes.

The way Selina tried to cover her embarrassment was adorable in his eyes.

Matthew could not help but get up.

He walked over to Selina.

"Why are you so clumsy when you drink?" he murmured.

Selina was dumbfounded.

Matthew had already reached out a finger and grazed the corner of her lips.

His warm fingertip was like a soldering iron, shockingly hot to the touch.

Selina was even more dumbstruck at what Matthew did next.

He sucked on the fingertip he grazed her lips with and said, "Your coffee does taste better."

Selina didn't know what to say.

She was utterly befuddled.

Matthew had always been a mature and refined man in her eyes. She couldn't believe what he just did.
