My Heart only Beats for You

Matthew guessed that Peter's visit was not just because of him and Selina. It was also to witness the birth of Natalie's child.

After all, as one got older, one would feel the need to ensure that one did not leave any regrets.

Natalie licked her dry lips.

She had never thought that Peter would stay for so long. She'd assumed that he would stay a week at most maximum. Still, given that Matthew had said so...

She believed Matthew.

This man had his reasons for saying so.

Natalie looked at Matthew hesitantly, and asked, "Then, can you...?"

"I will try my best." Matthew said directly, "Peter is in a bad state, and I know what to do. You need not worry."

Upon hearing Matthew's reply, Natalie was relieved.

"Thank you, Matthew," Natalie said gratefully.

"I'll repeat, don't worry about it. You're now pregnant, you should worry less, it will do the baby good too."

Natalie nodded.

Although Matthew had just reminded her not to worry too much, she immediately thought of something, "Matthew, is it really impossible for you and Selina to get back together again?" Matthew's eyes were overshadowed by emotions.

His eyes were so cold that he seemed cold as a whole.

After a moment of silence, Matthew answered in a slightly upset tone, "Natalie, I have my pride too."

Natalie reacted in realization.

She totally understood what Matthew meant.

Matthew was willing to put aside his ego for Selina. But still, he wanted to retain this last bit of dignity.

It was not possible for him to always be the one pleading for the relationship, for a feeling that was not returned.

When Peter came out from the living room, Selina brought up the idea of returning to the Perry family's villa that night.

The embarrassing moment they'd been through the night before was still clear in Selina's mind. She didn't want anything awkward to happen again.

She could actually sleep in separate bedrooms with Matthew behind Peter's back, but during this visit, Peter had bought along with his servants. Also with Hayden around, someone might accidentally mention it. The safest plan was to leave the Whitlock family's house!
