Matthew was still caught up in his thoughts and did not reply.

"Matthew, are you there? Can you hear me?" Selina asked in confusion.

Matthew regained his senses.

"Yes, I heard you," he answered in a low voice.

"Well, have you missed me?" Selina asked teasingly.

Matthew hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, he had not thought about Selina at all.

The photo had been hovering at the back of his mind, enveloping him in uneasiness.

Selina felt a little sulky that Matthew seemed to be preoccupied.

"Did you not miss me at all?" Selina asked again.

Matthew composed himself and put on a cheerful tone.

"I miss you every moment of the day," Matthew answered.

Selina was pleased at his words.

"Me too. Okay then, I won't bother you now. See you later."

"All right."

After hanging up the phone, Matthew stared blankly into space for some time.

Finally, he picked up his phone.

He called Reid.

"Reid, you win. Let's meet up."

On the other end of the phone, Reid smiled brazenly.

He had expected that Matthew would call him.

"Okay, we'll meet in an hour."

At his villa, Reid was getting ready to go out.

Caroline stopped Reid in his tracks and asked, "Where are you going?"

She had noticed that Reid seemed to be hiding something from her.

Reid glanced at Caroline. "I don't need to report everything I do to you."

He spoke in a condescending tone.

Caroline replied in frustration. "I thought we were partners in this plan. We were supposed to deal with Selina together. I took the fall for everything, that's why I am stuck here with you. Now this is how you treat me?"

Reid felt disconcerted at her words..

Caroline was still useful to keep around.

He replied in a softer tone, "I'm going out to meet Matthew."

"Why?" Caroline's eyes brightened.

It disappeared as quickly as it came.

Despite that, Reid noticed the change in her eyes.

At that moment, Caroline's eyes sparkled, unlike her usual dull appearance.

From a certain angle, Caroline even looked attractive, Reid thought to himself.

On the spur of the moment, he lifted her chin gently.

Caroline was stunned at his actions.

This was the first time Reid has done such an intimate thing to her during her long stay at his villa.

His proximity to her was too close for her liking.

Caroline slapped Reid's hand away.

She glared at Reid. "What are you doing?"

Reid chuckled at her embarrassment. "Weren't you against the marriage between Matthew and

Selina? I am going to stop them from getting married."

Reid's words took Caroline by surprise.

Her expression changed.

She stared straight at Reid. "Are you serious?"

Reid flashed one of his rare smiles. "Yes, just wait for my good news."

After leaving the villa, Reid made a phone call to Saoirse.

They had exchanged contacts since the last time they met.

"Miss Saoirse, I have verified matters with Matthew. He wants to meet you." Reid informed her.

"Is that true?" Saoirse's voice was filled with delight.

"Of course."

After hanging up the phone, Saoirse told Liselle the good news.

"That's great! Such wonderful news!" Liselle cheered loudly.

She smiled apologetically and added, "Miss Saoirse, I'm so excited for you."

"It's okay." Saoirse smiled. "Pick out some outfits for me and help me decide which is the best."

"Miss Saoirse, you are naturally beautiful. You could wear a sack and still look ravishing."

Saoirse thought for a moment.

"I remember wearing a blue dress when I first met William. Check if there is any blue dresses in the wardrobe."

Ten minutes later, Saoirse walked out of the changing room.

She wore a blue gown embroidered with sequins which complimented her fair, delicate skin. With her exquisite features and crystal clear skin, she looked like

Aphrodite herself.

Liselle could not help but exclaim, "Miss Saoirse, you're the most stunning person I have ever seen."

Saoirse's cheeks blushed pink. "Let's hope William feels the same way."

"He will definitely think so," Liselle replied affirmatively.

"Let's go, then."

Matthew and Reid was waiting for Saoirse at a restaurant in Agaphen City. It was privately booked for the day, so there was no one else except for their table and a few waiters.

Reid was in a good mood.

He gestured to a waiter and ordered steak for himself.

"I haven't eaten anything since the morning. Do you mind if I order something to eat?" Reid asked.

Matthew pursed his lips together and did not speak.

Soon, Reid's food was served.

Reid took a bite and commented on the taste, "It tastes good, Matthew. You should order one too."

Matthew glared at Reid. "I'm not hungry. Could we get to the point? You should know why I agreed to this meeting."

Reid took another bite and answered, "Why are you in such a hurry? Be patient, we can get to the point after the lady arrives." Reid continued enjoying his food.

Matthew sat at the table with his arms folded. The resplendent crystal chandelier above shone down in a rich array of twinkling lights.

All of a sudden, he heard the sound of elegant footsteps.

Reid put down his knife and fork.

He clapped his hands together. "Finally, she's here."

Matthew followed his gaze.

Two women were

walking towards them.

One of them drew everyone's attention as she walked slightly ahead of the other lady.

Her beauty was simply out of this world.

No words could do her justice.

She looked like an angel descended from above, stunning and breathtaking.

Reid glanced at Matthew.

There was no doubt that Matthew had good taste in women.

He was going to marry Selina, the only daughter of the Whitlock family, a famous socialite of Agaphen City.

As for this Saoirse lady, not only did she have an influential background, she was also drop dead gorgeous.

The corners of Reid's lips curled up.

How would Matthew choose between the two women?

The consequences of his decision would be dire considering both of their backgrounds. What would happen then?

He could not wait to see what would happen next.

"Miss Saoirse, it really is him!" Liselle shouted excitedly.

Saoirse's eyes lit up with happiness the moment she saw Matthew

She finally walked up to Matthew.

Her gaze was transfixed on Matthew's face, "William, I've finally found you."

When Matthew heard that name, something stirred up within him.

Fragments from his memory flashed before his eyes when he saw Saoirse, but he could not make head nor tail of it. The sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger.
