My Heart only Beats for You

"Give them hell," Matthew spat out.

Matheo was in utter shock.

Moments later, he cto his senses and nodded. "Understood." Matthew brought Selina into his car.

By then, Selina was pretty much sobered up.

She then realized how stupid and dangerous her actions were. She was a girl alone in a pub, drunk. If it hadn't been for Matthew, she couldn't have imagined what might have happened.

"Thank you, Matthew," Selina said softly.

Matthew's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in an exasperated tone, "You're already about to get married, but here you are drinking yourself senseless, alone in a bar. Are all of you young people like this?" The corner of Selina's lips twitched. "What do you mean 'all of you young people'? Are you that old?" Matthew's previous words had made him sound like an old geezer.

"Don't you think I'm old?" Matthew asked with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

Selina kept silent.

The truth was, she didn't think that Matthew was very old. He looked quite young. It was just that he was 9 years older than her.

"I'll send you home," Matthew said. He turned his eyes to the front, hit the gas, and drove forward.

Selina chewed on her fingernails along the way.

She didn't want to go home, not at all.

She didn't know how to explain to her family that there would be no wedding the next day.

Though running away would not solve the problem, the only thing she wanted to do right then was avoid it all. Her mind was in too much of a mess that she felt certain it would explode. When they arrived at the gate of Whitlock family villa, Matthew stopped the car. His eyes fell on Selina's face. "Tto get off."

Selina's lashes trembled slightly.

"I don't want to go home," she said.

"You don't want to go hthe day before your wedding?" "Whatever, I just don't want to go home," Selina uttered.

"Then I'll call Tobias," Matthew said as he reached for his phone.

Selina was so frazzled that she had instinctively grabbed hold of Matthew's hand. "No, Matthew, don't call my brother." When Selina's soft hand touched Matthew's, he was dazed.

Selina looked at Matthew imploringly and said, "Matthew, please don't call him. Just letbe alone." In the end, Matthew put down his cell phone.

Selina sat in the car for a long twithout saying anything.

For a while, silence was all that filled the atmosphere in the car.

After what felt like years, Matthew said, "Is there something on your mind?" Selina kept silent.

A moment later, she bit her lip. "Matthew, why don't you start the car and takefor a drive?" Matthew's eyes flickered.

After a moment's thought, he finally stepped on the accelerator.

The car sped along quickly. Selina lowered the car window.

A strong gust of wind blew against Selina, causing her hair to lift up.

"Ah!" Selina screamed out of the window, as if she could vent her anger in this way.

Selina felt like the scream did not give her the high she was after, so she thought she'd sing a song out loud instead, but then, she realized that she didn't know many songs because she rarely ever listened to music.

She took a long tto think, and recalled the song that Hayden would often hum.

Selina, who couldn't care less at that moment, sang at the top of her lungs. "Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the moon so high, like a diamond in the sky..." Matthew was speechless.

His hands, which were gripping the steering wheel, paused. Countless cars passed by along the way and they looked at her as if she was crazy. Selina continued to sing with no regard for propriety. Finally, she sang till her voice was hoarse and she could sing no more. Only then did she stop. Her eyes were filled with bitterness and darkness so thick that it seemed like it might never fade.

"Matthew, I want drinks," Selina mumbled.

Why had that tipsy feeling lost its edge so quickly? She had been intoxicated earlier, so why was she no longer drunk? "You still haven't learnt your lesson?!" Matthew was stern.

If not for him, the consequences would have been too horrible to contemplate.

The corner of Selina's lips twitched. "Aren't you withnow? I'm not afraid. I just want to drink something. My stomach is burning up." The car cto a sudden halt.

Matthew got out of the car first. "Let's go. I'll take you for a drink." Selina thought that Matthew was going to take her to a bar, but she was stunned when she got out of the car.

The sign in front of her said "SuprSoya House".

What in the world was this? Matthew sat opposite Selina at a clean table.

There were two cups of soy milk in front of Selina. One of them was sweet, the other was sugar-free. Selina was speechless as she looked at the drinks.

"Didn't you want to drink something? You can drink as much as you want, as long as you can stomach it." Matthew looked at Selina icily. Selina was at a loss for words.

She had never realized Matthew was so funny.

Selina took a sip of the soy milk.

Since there wasn't any alcohol, she would have to make do with the soy milk.

The soy milk was very sweet and tasted much better than she had imagined. Selina couldn't help but to take another gulp.

"When are you going back? I'll send you hlater." Matthew glanced at the watch on his wrist.

It was already very late.

Selina pretended that she hadn't heard what Matthew said and continued to sip at her soy milk.

"You still have to get married tomorrow," Matthew said quietly.

There was a flash of emotion in his eyes.

Upon hearing the word "wedding", she immediately got agitated again.

She put her cup down on the table heavily. "I'm telling you, don't you mention the word "Wedding" in front of me. I won't get married for the rest of my life. I won't get married even if it could save the world." Matthew did not know what to say.

Surprise flashed across his eyes.

Why was Selina so agitated? "What's wrong, Selina?" Matthew questioned in a low voice.

Selina acted nonchalant. "You're askingwhat's wrong? What could possibly be wrong? It's just been called off, so what?" Matthew's breathing halted.

Called off? "Selina, stop messing around," Matthew said, his voice getting lower.

"I'm not messing around. I'm telling the truth!" Selina glared at Matthew.

"But why?" "How many times are you going to askwhy?" "I only asked you once," Matthew replied, feeling a little exasperated.

He found that Selina could be rather unreasonable at times, totally unreasonable, even.

However, there was nothing he could bring himself to do about it.

"There's no reason," Selina answered. She took another large gulp of soy milk and then downed the rest in one go.

"Waiter, getanother ten glasses of sweet soy milk!" Selina shouted loudly.

Matthew said nothing.

His eyes landed on the other cup of soy milk and said, "There's another cup here."

Selina moved that cup away. "Right now, I'm not in the mood for something tasteless. I only want something sweet. The bitterness in my heart needs something sweet to chase it away." Although she tried to put on a brave face for the world, only she knew deep down in her heart just how upset she felt. Soon, the waiter arrived with ten cups of sweet soy milk.

Selina downed another glass in one go.

When she reached for another glass, she was stopped by Matthew who said, "Slow down, you're drinking too much."
