My Heart only Beats for You

Matthew guessed that Peter's visit was not just because of him and Selina. It was also to witness the birth of Natalie's child.

After all, as one got older, one would feel the need to ensure that one did not leave any regrets.

Natalie licked her dry lips.

She had never thought that Peter would stay for so long. She'd assumed that he would stay a week at most maximum. Still, given that Matthew had said so...

She believed Matthew.

This man had his reasons for saying so.

Natalie looked at Matthew hesitantly, and asked, "Then, can you...?" "I will try my best." Matthew said directly, "Peter is in a bad state, and I know what to do. You need not worry." Upon hearing Matthew's reply, Natalie was relieved.

"Thank you, Matthew," Natalie said gratefully.

"I'll repeat, don't worry about it. You're now pregnant, you should worry less, it will do the baby good too." Natalie nodded.

Although Matthew had just reminded her not to worry too much, she immediately thought of something, "Matthew, is it really impossible for you and Selina to get back together again?" Matthew's eyes were overshadowed by emotions.

His eyes were so cold that he seemed cold as a whole.

After a moment of silence, Matthew answered in a slightly upset tone, "Natalie, I have my pride too." Natalie reacted in realization.

She totally understood what Matthew meant.

Matthew was willing to put aside his ego for Selina. But still, he wanted to retain this last bit of dignity.

It was not possible for him to always be the one pleading for the relationship, for a feeling that was not returned. When Peter cout from the living room, Selina brought up the idea of returning to the Perry family's villa that night.

The embarrassing moment they'd been through the night before was still clear in Selina's mind. She didn't want anything awkward to happen again.

She could actually sleep in separate bedrooms with Matthew behind Peter's back, but during this visit, Peter had bought along with his servants. Also with Hayden around, someone might accidentally mention it. The safest plan was to leave the Whitlock family's house! She had thought that by going back to the Perry family's villa, she would be out of Peter's sight, and consequently find a hotel to stay the night in.

However, she was firmly rejected by Peter.

Peter said in a very unhappy tone, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I've call the way here, and you guys can't even spend twith me? Can't you just stay in the Whitlock family hfor a few days? Is it that bad here?" Selina remained silent.

With Peter saying so, what more could she say? Selina had no choice but to give in.

After everyone retired to their respective rooms, Selina spoke to Matthew.

She asked, "Do you need to help yourself with it again? If so, I would wait in the living room until you're done." Matthew was speechless.

His deep gaze fell on Selina's face, and he said in a helpless tone, "Selina, do you think I'm such a lustful person?" He had very good self-control, but what happened the night before was something he'd not been able to withstand. He hadn't even wanted Selina to know about it, but his mind had been completely controlled by his impulsiveness.

"Then, last night..." Selina couldn't help but say.

"That's because of your hands," Matthew's tone was gloomy.

If it wasn't for her falling on him, and later her hand...

"As long as you stay careful tonight, nothing will happen," Matthew warned Selina.

"Okay, I will," Selina said immediately.

After the lesson from the night before, how could Selina do anything foolish again? After entering the bedroom, Matthew slept on the ground, while Selina slept on the bed.

Selina took a look at Matthew from the corner of her eye and found that his eyes are already closed.

But she knew that Matthew was definitely not asleep.

She couldn't help but say, "Why are you closing your eyes right now? Don't you need to read before sleeping?" She remembered Matthew would read a while before going to sleep in the Perry family's villa.

"Nothing here is of my interest," Matthew said lightly.

So it was true that he was still awake, and just shut his eyes.

"What kind of books do you like?" "The ones I read back home, you should have seen them." Selina thought back before remembering the National Geographic magazine. She couldn't understand why Matthew liked such boring things.

"I thought you liked adult books. After all, you did try to help yourself out..." she bantered.

Matthew suddenly opened his eyes.

A dim light flashed.

Selina was shocked.

Still, she brazenly said, "I didn't say anything wrong, last night you really did..." Matthew said in a low voice, "Selina, that is human instinct. I'm also human, hence I do have the sinstinct and reactions as a human.

He could at least control himself.

The night before, he had managed to hold back, not touching her.

"Then you can find a woman," Selina suddenly said, "A lot of men do get women to satisfy their lust." Otherwise, why would prostitutes exist? Matthew's expression was indifferent. "There's also a line drawn when it comes to human instinct. Mine would be not having anything to do with a woman I have no feelings for."

Therefore, he had never touched any women before Selina. s'a h gh thin indNivel.Дet website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Selina was stunned for a moment.

"Selina, get to sleep." Matthew closed his eyes again.

Sometimes, the only way to restrain oneself was to talk less.

"Okay," Selina responded and lay back down in bed.

However, she couldn't sleep no matter how hard she triedSubconsciously, her glance would fall over Matthew several times. With his eyes shut, his eyelashes looked long and thick.

Selina pulled at her own eyelashes. It seemed that Matthew's were indeed thicker than hers.

There was always an impulse within Selina, to want to talk to Matthew.

But she would hold back her words before she blurted them out.

She remembered a saying, "Human nature is depraved." At first, Selina hadn't agreed with this, but now she felt that the saying was reasonable.

Otherwise, why did she have the impulse to talk to Matthew? Back in the Perry family's villa, Matthew used to cclose and talk to her all the time, but she hadn't appreciated it.

Selina bit her lower lip.

Maybe her mind was just tricking her that night. 'I should really get et ssleep.', she thought. She could avoid all of these thoughts if she slept.

She eventually fell asleep.

She had a dream.

In her dream, she had continued her conversation with Matthew, Matthew had said that he would not have anything to do with a woman he didn't love. Selina had asked, "As we've done it, does that mean you're in love with me?" Matthew then replied with a yes.

"But I don't love you," said Selina.
