My Heart only Beats for You

There was a hint of coldness in the man's tone.

He prepared this specially for Selina, despite the fact that he was exhausted after settling all the work in his company. He thought Selina liked this, hence he made a trip to buy it for her, only for her to throw it away just like that.

He felt as if Selina was stepping on his heart.

Selina sniffed and said, "So is this what you call a gift?" She sounded extremely sarcastic.

He actually gave her the exact sthing that he gave Joycelyn? He was trying to disgust her, wasn't he? She already moved on from the fact that Peter ate the previous one, yet Matthew went all the way to buy another one for her! The more Selina thought about it, the more frustrated she was. She couldn't help but say, "Yes, I'm spoiling your kind gesture indeed!" Matthew's heart sank even more.

He felt so chilly, as if he had arrived in the North Pole.

After a short while, he suddenly smiled.

It was a cold smirk, showing that he had already seen through this.

His gaze fell on Selina's face, without a hint of warmth in his tone, he said, "Fine, Selina, I guess I was being delusional." He assumed that Selina was reacting like this because he crossed the line. Selina wanted to be friends, yet the gift he prepared for her must have seemed like he wanted to be more than that.

His voice dropped to a low whisper, "I know what you mean now." Matthew swore to himself that he would not cross the line anymore.

"You don't understand at all, you b*stard!" Selina said, as tears welled up in her eyes and sorrow filled.

She was the one to be blamed.

Matthew liked her, and she had made things difficult for him in the past.

Now that she started developing feelings for Matthew, he was doing all sorts of things to annoy her.

She couldn't bear this anymore.

Matthew's heart ached as he saw the tears in Selina's eyes.

He felt sorry for her, despite her hurting his feelings this often.

Selina was like his arch nemesis.

Matthew fixed his emotions as he said, "Alright, let's go back. We shouldn't let Peter notice anything off about us." Selina wiped away the tears in her eyes.

That was right, she couldn't stay this stubborn when they still had to meet with Peter.

Peter was too old to tolerate their nonsense.

"Let's go back, then," Selina replied.

Upon arriving back at the living room, Selina and Matthew already regained their usual composure. "Didn't the two of you go out for a walk?" Peter asked.

He noticed their absence and naturally he thought they needed stalone.

Selina walked over with a sweet smile and said, "Of course not. Why would we go out when we have to accompany you here?" Except for her red eyes, there was nothing unusual about Selina at that moment.

Peter chuckled, "You're really good with your words." Matthew and Selina then joined Peter to watch TV.

Peter was sandwiched in between them both, with Selina on his left and Matthew on his right.

Peter patted Selina on the hand and said, "You should sit with Matthew." Selina forced a smile and said, "But I like sitting next to you." Peter suddenly looked solemn and said, "That cannot happen. You're married now and you should sit next to your husband! That's the rule." Selina was left speechless.

However, she didn't say anything. She moved to sit next to Matthew.

After all, given Peter's current state, they should just listen to him.

Selina felt awkward sitting next to Matthew.

The cold and stern vibe from Matthew made Selina a little uncomfortable.

Matthew suddenly stood up after stime.

"I'll go cut sfruits for you all," Matthew said.

Selina breathed a sigh of relief after Matthew left. Suddenly, there was a beeping sound from the sofa.

Selina was startled.

She then noticed that the beeping sound was from a phone.

It was Matthew's.

The beeping sound indicated a new text message.

Selina glanced at the phone screen subconsciously, and she froze in place.

She had no idea how Matthew had set up his phone. She didn't even have to unlock the phone to see the text message being displayed on the screen.

"Mr. Perry, there are sproblems in the development of the cosmetic products targeted for sensitive women's skin that you requested from the R&D department. We have to work with international biology companies in this aspect, and the R&D cost needs to be doubled. I'm sending this to apply for the cost approval," The text message read.

Selina stopped breathing for a couple of seconds.

She subconsciously touched her face.

She had extremely sensitive skin whereby she would experience allergic effects even when she put on light makeup.

She could faintly recall that she mentioned this to Matthew before.

Selina's breathing becrapid.

She recalled that Matthew didn't react much when she brought this up to him.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Was she overthinking? Or could it be that Joycelyn had sensitive skin too? Meanwhile, Matthew was walking over.

He was holding a plate of cut fruits.

Selina could tell at one glance that none of those fruits were up to her liking.

However, Peter was greatly satisfied with the fruit platter.

Selina bit lightly on her lips.

Matthew would normally prepare her favorite fruits, but he didn't this time.

Selina couldn't hold back anymore.

She lowered her voice, so that only Matthew could hear, as she asked, "Why didn't you prepare the fruits I like?" Matthew also replied in a low voice, "I prepared this for Peter." Selina bit on her lips, "But there aren't any that I like." He would normally prepare something she liked! Matthew glanced at Selina emotionlessly as he said, "Selina, I don't want to cross the line."

He didn't want a repeat of the earlier incident, where she threw away the biscuits that he had purposely made a trip to buy for her. Selina was left speechless.

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

Cross the line? How ridiculous! She couldn't even tell if Matthew was the one crossing the line or she was.

After having the fruits, Peter was ready to head upstairs to sleep.

Matthew helped Peter up.

However, Selina immediately ran to the other side and said to Peter, "Lethelp you upstairs." She should be the one helping her grandfather, not Matthew!

Peter chuckled, "Look at how loyal you two are. My granddaughter and my grandson-in-law, why don't the both of you helpupstairs instead?" Selina was left speechless.

She had no choice but to go along with Matthew.

After helping Peter to his bedroom Matthew then turned around and headed to his own bedroom, without casting another glance at Selina, nor did he say anything to her Selina couldn't help but say, "Hold on!" bet

She wanted to ask him about Joycelyn after dinner earlier, but they were interrupted by the box of biscuits. She had the urge to bring up the topic again.
