My Heart only Beats for You

The door was left ajar. Matthew pushed the door open.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Cecilia, whose face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and Selina, who was standing there stiffly.

Selina looked stubborn. She pursed her lips tightly together with tears welling up within her eyes.

"Madam Lawson," Matthew called out.

Cecilia looked at Matthew and nodded her head stiffly.

"Matthew, you're here," Cecilia said, sounding exhausted.

"Madam Lawson, please have a seat first. It would be tiring for you to stand for so long," Matthew said.

Then, he looked at Selina and said, "Selina, you should sit down too." Cecilia nodded and sat on the sofa.

They needed to sit down and talk peacefully.

However, Selina did not want to sit down at all.

She stood there wilfully.

Seeing this, Cecilia sighed.

She saw Matthew shaking his head, signaling her to not reprimand Selina when she was about to do so.

Cecilia sighed and did not say anything.

Then, Matthew talked to Selina softly, "Selina, please sit down." Selina said stubbornly, "No." "Are you going to be a statue?" Matthew stared at Selina and said.

"You're right, I want to be a statue." Matthew felt helpless.

He said in a softer voice, "Please sit down and talk to your mom. Don't be so willful." Selina was annoyed when she heard Matthew describing her as a willful person.

Perhaps it was because Cecilia had just reprimanded her for being a willful kid. She was sensitive to this word now.

Selina becmore and more stubborn. She said, "I won't sit!" "Are you sure?" "Yes..." Selina's voice was cut off.

Matthew hoisted her into his arms out of a sudden.

Selina wanted to scold Matthew. However, she did not do so because Cecilia was there.

Matthew carried Selina to the sofa and made her sit on the sofa. After that, he sat on the other side of the sofa.

He looked at Cecilia and said, "Madam Lawson, I know you are here because of what has happened between Selina and I. I'm the one who arranged this condominium for Selina. So, please don't blher for this." Cecilia's heart skipped a beat.

She thought, "Matthew takes all the blon himself immediately. How could Selina not cherish such a good man?" Cecilia was really heartbroken.

Although she didn't know what had caused them to seek a divorce, she could tell for sure that it was all Selina's fault. This was an undeniable fact.

Cecilia said, "Matthew, I won't blyou for anything. This must be Selina's fault." Selina felt wronged by her accusation.

Although it was indeed her fault, how could Cecillia accuse her without first hearing her side of the story? When Selina first married Matthew, Cecilia had always reminded Selina how incredibly grateful she ought to be as if her ancestors had just bestowed a great gift upon her! The more Selina thought about it, the angrier she became.

The more she thought about it, the more hurt she felt.

She thought, "Am I really that horrid?" She clenched her fists tightly and could no longer suppress her emotions.

"Mom, since you think that Matthew is such a good man, you might as well marry him yourself!" Selina shouted at Cecilia.

She regretted it as soon as she finished her sentence.

She had gone too far. Her words definitely hurt Cecilia's feelings.

As expected, Cecilia's face turned even paler.

She was consumed by anger. She said, "Selina! Are you trying to killwith anger?" Selina pursed her lips and did not say a word.

Matthew stood up and poured a cup of warm water for Cecilia. He said, "Madam Lawson, please drink swater first." Cecilia was breathing heavily. She took the glass of water from Matthew.

Selina was a spoilt kid indeed! "Selina, it's dangerous for an elder when they get agitated. It's best that you don't anger your mother too much," Matthew whispered to Selina. Selina pursed her lips even more tightly.

She knew that it would be dangerous for an elder to get agitated.

She didn't want to piss Cecilia off either.

She had always been respecting and loving to her mother.

However, in this moment, she couldn't control her temper at all.

Cecilia took a sip of water and calmed herself down. She looked at Selina and said, "Selina, tell me, what are you going to do now?" "I want a divorce," Selina said in a softer tone. It did not sound as harsh as before.

"What is so bad about Matthew that you want to divorce him?" Cecilia questioned.

"He's fine in every aspect. But, I'd still like to get a divorce." "Where else could you possibly find such an outstanding man after your divorce?" Cecilia questioned harshly.

The anger she had previously suppressed due to guilt had resurfaced.

She was going on again like this, always insulting Selina in favor of Matthew.

"I'll still get a divorce even if I'd remain single for the rest of my life!" Selina shouted with tears welling up within her eyes.

Matthew could only look down. He felt a sense of crushinghopelessness that he had never experienced before. His eyes reflected how his heart was breaking.

He concealed his feelings instantly with an indifferent facial expression.

He looked so indifferent that it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

"Matthew, what do you think?" Cecilia suddenly turned to look at Matthew and asked.

Matthew was silent for a moment. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Madam Lawson, I'll respect Selina's decision." Numerous thoughts flooded through Cecilia's mind. After a short while, she slammed her fist on the table and said, "No way. I'll definitely not agree to this." She couldn't stand aside and let Selina make trouble anymore.

Selina would definitely regret it for the rest of her life if she divorced Matthew. Cecilia felt that she had to stop this from happening.

"Mother, this is my marriage. You have no control over this!" Selina couldn't help but refute the statement.

Cecilia said firmly, "Selina, I've been

spoiling you since you were young, giving you everything you've evem wanted But not this time! I'll never agree with your decision to divorce Matthew!" "Mom, how could you do this?" "Selina!" Cecilia said seriously, "I can't keep on spoiling you anymore!" Sometimes doting on someone would cause them even more trouble down the road.

Selina's heart sank instantly. sah th" "ind_vel."et website on Googl to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. She understood Cecilia's words in a different way.

She thought, "My mother is not going to loveanymore if I divorce Matthew." "To my mother, I'm nothing compared to Matthew." "Perhaps Matthew is more important to her than me!" Selina smiled with irony.

All of a sudden, she stood up and looked at Cecilia, saying "Mom, I know you're not going to agree with | this divorce. Well, although I can't afford to provoke you, I can hide from you. I'll leave now!" After saying that, Selina rushed out of the condominium.

Cecilia didn't expect Selina to run out of the room She stood up and was about to chase after Selina. AH of a sudden, she felt dizzy.
