My Heart only Beats for You

After a while, Matthew said in a deep voice, "Ok Mrs. Whitlock, Rest assured that I will treat Selina well and pamper her all my life." A relieved smile appeared on Cecilia's face.

She sighed and said, "Do you know, Matthew, that Selina was really spoiled by us all? For generations, the Whitlock family only had baby boys, it was so difficult to have a baby girl like Selina, so she was pampered exactly like a princess. No, maybe even the princess wouldn't be as pampered as her. But, it's the Whitlock family which spoiled Selina to what she is now."

Cecilia paused for a while and then continued, "She is really spoiled. She doesn't care about others at all. Matthew, I'm her mother and she's a piece of me. So no matter how spoiled she is, I will still tolerate it, but..."

Her gaze was fixed on Matthew's face and said, "But you're different. I'm not sure if you could be so tolerant towards Selina. So, please forgive me, as a mother, for asking for a promise from you."

Matthew's gaze grew deeper, like a borderless ocean.

He said firmly, "Mrs. Whitlock, I promise you, I will

tolerate Selina more than you do."

Cecilia heaved a sigh of relief.

She could tell that Matthew liked Selina, but she really didn't know how deep his love was for her. After all, the time that Matthew and Selina had been together was not long.

She also knew that Matthew would pamper Selina.

But she was fully aware of Selina's stubbornness.

She was really afraid that Matthew's favor would erode over time and that eventually Selina would have to pay the price.

Therefore, she could only selfishly ask for Matthew's promise.

She knew that this might not be right. Even so, she had no choice but to do so.

All mothers had their own selfish motives in which they all wished for the best for their children, and so did Cecilia.

Selina's past experiences in her relationship had been rocky. She had been in a complicated relationship with a man from her teenage years up to adulthood.

Now that she was finally married to another man, Cecilia only hoped that Selina would live comfortably for the rest for her life without any untoward happenings.

When Matthew and Cecilia walked out of the kitchen, Selina gave them a strange look.

She didn't believe that her mother would call Matthew to wash the dishes.
