My Heart only Beats for You

"Then who do you want to be with?" Selina blurted out this question.

"You."

That was what Matthew was thinking in his heart.

What came out of his mouth was, "It's late, Selina, let's go sleep."

Selina's eyes, which were initially glimmering with anticipation, dimmed.

"Sure," Selina responded with a low voice.

Selina returned to her bedroom with her mind messy.

She knew that she had gotten the wrong idea. There was nothing between Matthew and Joycelyn at all.

At that moment, she felt herself hated Jocelyn even more.

There was nothing between the two of them, yet Joycelyn had come all the way to the Perry family and made such a vague statement. She was clearly trying to make Selina misunderstand them. What a b*tch.

At least Selina wasn't wrong about that part.

Selina pursed her lips.

She got reminded of the harmonious atmosphere she and Matthew had back in the kitchen.

If she hadn't chosen to postpone the question, if she had asked Matthew about the relationship between him and Joycelyn, if Matthew had made it clear that there was nothing between them, would she have told him about her feelings? And...

Selina couldn't bear to think about all the "what-ifs".

She covered her face with a pillow as her cheeks flushed.

How would Matthew react?

Judging by how he ate all the terrible dishes she made, it seemed like he...

Selina had been assuming that she was nothing to Matthew, yet now that she thought deeper into this, it didn't seem to be the truth..

Selina got even more flustered.

She wanted to hide her feelings for Matthew, especially when she had deliberately made things difficult for him back then. She found it embarrassing to admit that she had suddenly developed feelings for him. Yet, nothing could really suppress one's emotions.
