My Heart only Beats for You

"That's right. It's as if Matthew is your biological son. You are even closer to him than your biological daughter." Cecilia was furious at her comment. "What nonsense are you talking about here, child?" "Okay, Selina. Let's go get srest." Matthew glanced at Selina and gestured for her to stop talking.

She swallowed her saliva.

She hadn't wanted to annoy Cecilia either, but she couldn't help it.

"Mom, we're going to rest now. You should get srest too," said Selina.

Cecilia shook her head at Selina and left without saying anything else.

Matthew opened the bedroom door and reminded Selina, "Be more respectful when you talk to your mother in the future." She sighed: "I will try my best." "By the way, are we really going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow?" Selina asked in a low voice after entering the bedroom.

"Did you think I was joking?" Matthew stared at Selina.

Selina's fluttered her eyelashes. "Yes." "Selina, I'm serious about it." "But that matter with Saoirse has yet to be resolved," Selina said.

"But I have to give your mother an explanation." "Do you plan to hide this from Saoirse?" "I don't intend to hide it from her. I'll talk to her about it." "Do you think she will agree to this?" "I'll try my best to convince her." Selina shook her head. "I don't think it will be this simple, Matthew. Besides, you told my mother that we will get your marriage certificate tomorrow, which I think is impossible." "Success depends on your backbone." "I hope so," Selina said in a low voice.

To be honest, she didn't have any hope at all.

The next day, Matthew went to the Perry Group.

He summoned Saoirse into the president's office.

Saoirse was wearing the uniform tailored for the Perry company's employees. The tightness of the uniform outlined her well-proportioned figure.

Saoirse brought a cup of coffee over.

"Mr. Perry, here's a cup of Americano for you to try." Saoirse handed the coffee to Matthew.

Matthew glanced at it, "Just put it on the desk first." Saoirse put it on the desk as instructed.

"Saoirse, I have something to tell you." "Mr. Perry, please speak." Saoirse looked at Matthew with a faint smile.

"Saoirse, I need to get my marriage certificate with Selina today." Matthew's tone was hoarse as he said that. Saoirse was taken aback by the sudden news.

"How can you do that!" She blurted out.

"Sorry, Saoirse. I've been holding off with Selina for a long tnow. Her mother urgedlast night. I can't let it drag on any longer. It'll put Selina in a difficult position." She shook her head and said, "William, why are you tellingthis? You could have just stayed quiet about this. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't be so sad right now." "Saoirse, I want to tell you. I can choose to hide it from you, but I can't do it." While he and Saoirse didn't have any feelings for each other, they were still husband and wife. "William, can't you wait until six months is up? Are you sure it has to be right now?" Saoirse said with sadness evident in her blue eyes.

"Saoirse, Selina's mother won't wait any longer. She gavean ultimatum the previous day. I can't make it difficult for Selina and ask her to handle her mother on my behalf." "Do you really care that much about her?" "I can't just not care at all." Saoirse did not respond.

All kinds of emotions flashed across her face.

After a while, she took a deep breath. "William, I don't agree to this." "Saoirse, you promisedthat we would end this relationship in half a year. Staying on will not change the inevitable fact that we will separate when the tis up. It is bound to happen no matter what, and you know it too. Please, don't make this hard for me." Saoirse said with cruel determination, "William, I am not going to agree with this." She paused for a moment to compose herself then continued saying, "Mr. Perry, if there is nothing else, I will go now." Then, Saoirse turned around and left the president's office.

She went to find her manager and requested to take the rest of the afternoon off.

Despite being an employee for only a short while, her request was approved on account of her beauty. After all, a woman's beauty was the greatest privilege in the world. Saoirse knew that Matthew would definitely cto her again.

She knew Matthew like the back of her hand.

He had the choice to conceal this matter from her, but he chose not to. He would definitely think of another way to get her approval.

She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, which was why she asked to leave for the rest of the afternoon.

In the president's office, Matthew supported his forehead with his hand.

His brows were furrowed.

After a long while, he finally stood up.

Since he had promised Cecilia last night, he had to get it done today.

He was determined to get Saoirse's permission and so he decided to speak to her again.

Matthew headed towards Saoirse's office to look for her, but to his disappointment, she had already left. He then found out that she had taken the day off. Matthew tried calling Saoirse on the phone but failed to get a hold of her.

Matthew immediately left the Perry Group and drove towards the villa where Saoirse was staying.

While it was not peak hour, there were still a lot of cars on the road. To add on, Matthew kept running into red lights. His anxiety level was increasing at this point.

In effort to reduce his anxiousness, he turned on the rawhile waiting for the red light.

He was overwhelmed with emotion and needed to calm down.

Matthew had never listened to the rabefore so he just listened to whatever was on. Soon, a woman's weeping was ringing in his ears. "My husband forcedto get married. After I gave birth to

second child and becfat, he was unhappy and displeased with the way my body turned out So he found a young female college student. Now he wants to file for divorce just so he can marry that woman. I am really heartbroken..." Then the woman's weeping went on.

Matthew's breath stopped for a moment.

He immediately turned off the radio.

Honking sounds cfrom the back. The lights had turned green but Matthew was not moving his car. Matthew stepped on the gas pedal and continued his journey.

All of a sudden, he felt dazed.

All this while he had been considerate of Selina and her mother's feelings, yet he had neglected Saoirse's feelings.

While he did not have any feelings for Saoirse, she was still his wife and she had saved him after all.

Besides, Saoirse had waited for him for so many years.

At the start, he had promised to give

Saoirse half year, but now he was going against his word and telling her that he wouldn't wait to marry Selina Matthew felt as if there was a knife in his chest. The intense pain was so unbearable, Matthew's body trembled.

He loosened his grip on the steering wheel.

His car was out of control in an instant.

At the smoment, another truck headed towards him.

"Bang" Peter Grill Matthew's car crashed into the oncoming big truck with a loud noise. Matthew's head snapped forward with the impact.

Instead of returning to her apartment, Saoirse had gone to Reid's place.

She had described to Caroline in detail what had happened earlier that day.
