My Heart only Beats for You

The meeting was about one-third of the way through.

Matthew suddenly stood up. "The meeting is over. The rest of the meeting will be held tomorrow."

There was silence.

The crowd burst into an uproar.

From the start, everyone could see that Matthew was not very focused on the meeting. They did not expect that the meeting would suddenly end at this moment. Everyone was guessing whether something big had happened to him.

Meanwhile, Matthew rushed to the company's parking lot after leaving the conference room. He stepped on the gas pedal and started the car smoothly.

Matthew drove at the speed of light.

There was a constant, faint hint of anxiety in his heart.

He was worried that by the time he got back, Selina would already have left. He was worried that he would not be able to see her even though her coming over was such a rare occasion.

At first, he had clearly already decided not to go back and see Selina.

After all, he knew that Selina was only coming over to look at the vegetable garden that had been set up for her. Maybe when he had sent her the food earlier that morning, it had made her feel nostalgic and crave Erine's cooking.

Anyway, no matter what the reason was, it could not be because of Matthew himself.

However, he still went back. He could not help it.

Erine had prepared a whole buffet of food.

Selina had an unspeakable feeling when she went into the dining room.

It was familiar and warm.

Then, she wore a helpless smile at the corner of her mouth.

Back when she was in the Perry family house, she had never felt that there was any warmth in this dining room. At that time, her heart was full of hatred, so how could she have had time to think about other things?

Now, she could see that the design of the dining room was truly ingenious. The orange light matched the warm-toned furniture, which made her feel cosy.

Combined with the full table of food prepared by Erine, it felt like home to her.

"Is Matthew not coming back?" Selina pretended to ask casually.

Erine hesitated for a moment.

She had specifically asked Matthew as well, but he said that he had a meeting, and that he would not be able to return.

"Mr. Perry... He won't be able to come back." Erine stammered. "He's too busy with work. There are many meetings to be held today. Otherwise, if he knew that you were coming, Miss Whitlock, he would definitely come back."
