My Heart only Beats for You

Not to mention, if she actually ran away, then Matthew would really think that there was something suspicious.

Thinking about this, Selina steeled herself and said, "Matthew! What a coincidence. We came to the bathroom together. Really, what a coincidence."

After saying that, Selina wanted to slap herself.

She was too nervous. What in the world was she saying, talking about how it was a coincidence that they came to the bathroom together? Did people even talk like that?

Knowing Matthew's personality, she would've thought that he would certainly tease her again. However this time, much to her surprise, he didn't.

Matthew did not tease her as per usual.

Instead, he looked at Selina and stared into her eyes intensely.

Selina was startled.

Matthew looked unusual that day, very much so. He seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

She licked her dry lips and explained curtly, "Matthew, let me explain to you what really happened last time at your house. That thing wasn't what I was supposed to give you. It was a lonely young lady who had gotten into the cab I was in and mistakenly switched our packages, taking mine and leaving hers in the car. I just had to be scatterbrained. I took the wrong thing, so..."

Selina stopped explaining when she saw that Matthew's expression had become even stranger.

Selina shifted her gaze and then it suddenly dawned upon her.

She asked dryly, "Matthew, don't tell me you want to call up that lonely girl for a date. Wait, let me see if I still have her number so I can pass it to you."

"Selina," Matthew suddenly interrupted her. His voice was low and hoarse. "You're getting married."

Selina was stupefied.

Moments later, she nodded and said, "Yeah. Are you coming, Matthew? I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. I won't be a spinster anymore." Selina smiled sweetly.

Her happy face was an eyesore to him.

"Do you love him very much?" he asked quietly.
