My Heart only Beats for You

Selina was anxious.

She didn't want to answer, but Matthew's gaze was too pressuring, and Selina felt so stressed she was unable to even breathe.

She took a deep breath and said, "Matthew, you were a great person to me, but after smisunderstandings, you becsomeone I hated the most in the world. After clearing those misunderstandings up, I don't think you're that annoying. That's all." She had said a lot, but none of it was what Matthew wanted to hear.

"What about now?" Matthew stared into her eyes.

Selina gulped.

She felt like her chest was about to explode.

"I..." Even after what felt like days, Selina couldn't say another word.

In the end, it was Matthew who broke the silence.

He gazed at her with his clear eyes. "Selina, I thought that you hatedand even despised me, but..." At that point, Matthew paused, and his gaze seemed to cloud over. "But having seen how violent your reactions were today, Selina, I'm confused. When I think about all the things that have happened lately, I get even more confused. Selina, tell me, how should I get my answers?" Selina felt that her throat was dry.

She knew what Matthew meant. She knew what he was confused about.

However, what should she say? How should she answer Matthew? Selina then asked, "What do you think, then?" "I want you to tell me." His skin, pointed nose and thin lips were even more dazzling under the moonlight.

"No, you tell me," Selina insisted.

"You need to letknow," Matthew repeated.

"You tell me," Selina said.

Their conversation got repetitive, and Matthew fell silent for a while.

His gaze was fixed on Selina, and he didn't say or do anything. He was just staring at her.

After a moment, he suddenly bent down, and his lips fell on Selina's.

Overwhelming tension swept through Selina.

Feeling anxious, Selina instinctively took a step back. Then, her foot slipped, and she fell backwards onto the ground.

The fall was incredibly embarrassing.

Although she was lying on the ground, Selina was not injured whatsoever.

However, the place she had fallen was right where the tomatoes and cabbages were planted.

As a result, Selina was dyed in tomato juice and cabbage leaves were all over her body as well. She looked hilarious.

Matthew pulled her up, with her whole body soaked.

Neither of them were interested in continuing with their earlier conversation.

"Let's head back and have you take a shower." Matthew then led Selina back to the villa.

However, they only took a few steps before running into Peter.

Earlier that night, when Peter retired to his bedroom, he called Cecilia on the phone to ask about Natalie's delivery. Cecilia told him it would be soon.

Peter felt a little down.

He was always told that the delivery was near, but it still had yet to come.

Peter couldn't fall back to sleep after hearing this.

Hence, he decided to take a walk in the vegetable garden, to divert his attention to his favorite vegetables.

Yet, before he could arrive in the garden, he ran into Matthew and Selina.

Selina was drenched in tomato juice and cabbage leaves, looking like a huge mess.

Peter startled for a while, before coming to realization.

He said pointedly at Selina, "I know you youngsters like a change of environment, but you can't do it in the vegetable garden. Look at how you messed up the vegetables!" Selina and Matthew were left speechless. Before they could say anything, Peter had already rushed over to the garden to attend to the vegetables. "Go take a shower," Matthew uttered.

Selina nodded and followed Matthew into the villa.

When they got inside, Selina grabbed snew clothes and walked to the bathroom.

Selina finally felt relieved under the hot water.

She suddenly narrowed her eyes.

She got reminded of the scene from earlier.

Peter had misunderstood that she and Matthew were doing it in the vegetable garden.

Her cheeks turned red again.

How could Peter have that kind of misunderstanding! Thinking about it, she thought of what Matthew had asked her.

She was too nervous to cup with an answer.

Since she had finally calmed down, she thought back on this question, and her breathing grew rapid.

Why did Matthew care so much about what she thought of him? Could it be that...? A thought flashed in her mind.

She took a deep breath, and after a while, she cup with a decision.

She would tell Matthew how she really felt about him if he asked him again after the shower! She felt that she and Matthew had been running in circles all this while. If she continued to hide away from him, there would be no end to this, and they would be exhausted. One of them had to take the initiative! After the shower, Selina stepped out from the bathroom with great courage.

She knew Matthew was most likely waiting for her in the living room.

As expected, when she arrived, Matthew was sitting there.

However, Matthew was not alone.

Peter was also there.

He was sitting on the couch with a solemn expression.

Upon spotting Selina, Peter waved a hand at her and said, "Cover here." Selina had a bad feeling.

She walked over. Peter let out a ☐.ne

heavy cough before saying, "Selina, Matthew, I need to have a talk with both of you. I know youyoung people are rich and can't blyou two for splurging and wasting, but have to remind you two that nothing comes easy."

"I joined the army and experienced the war. Back then, people wouldn't even dare to waste a grain of rice, yet look at what you two did to the vegetables today out of your lust and greed. My heart ached to look at that." The content is on Iqpkar ywaste g novelenglish.net! Matthew and Selina exchanged helpless glances.

They did think of interrupting Peter, but they failed to.

Peter was just so immersed in his story sharing that he couldn't be bothered by anything else.

He continued talking and talking until it was already deep into the night.

In the end, Peter surrendered to his sleepiness.

He stood up and said, "That's it. I'm going to sleep. You two rest well too." Peter was not the only one feeling sleepy. Matthew and Selina were tired too.

For youthful people like them, it was no big deal to stay up late at night! However Peter's words were just too tiring to listen to. Both of them had no intention of bringing up their earlier conversation in the garden.

Matthew told Selina, "Rest early." Nodding, Selina replied, "You... You too." "About what I said before..." Matthew started.

Hearing that, Selina's heartbeat hastened.
