My Heart only Beats for You

While Matthew was still in a daze, Selina grabbed the opportunity and pushed him away.

"I'm heading outside. You... You can do what you need to," Selina spluttered as she fled the kitchen. When she went to the living room, her cheeks were still flushed, and her heartbeat was still as rapid. Peter was watching TV in the living room. Right then, his gaze fell on Selina.

Peter laughed after taking in her expression.

He stroked his white beard and sighed, "You two are so lovey-dovey."

It wasn't until she heard his voice did Selina notice Peter was in the living room.

She tried her best to regain her composure.

Peter continued, "You can't even stop messing around while making dinner."

Selina was taken aback.

Her cheeks turned even redder as she said, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you on about?"

Peter pointed at his own cheeks. "Nonsense? Just take a look at your cheeks! Would you look like this if you hadn't messed around?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Selina did not respond.

Selina then protested, "I'm only like this because the kitchen is too hot."

Peter said pointedly, "You know what really happened in there."

"Grandpa!" Selina sat on one side. "I refuse to talk to you anymore."

She sounded embarrassed.

Peter smiled and didn't say anything else.

After a while, Matthew walked out.

He served a few dishes to the dining table.

Since the main ingredients used were the vegetables from the garden, it was a vegetarian meal.

Peter was so impressed with Matthew's cooking that he couldn't stop his praises.

He even deliberately gave Selina a glance before saying, "Selina, why are you not praising Matthew for these amazing dishes?!" Selina didn't know what to say.

She had been trying to avoid looking at Matthew ever since he walked out from the kitchen. Her mind was still a mess.

Now that Peter had called her out, Selina could only force herself to say, "Yeah, it tastes amazing." "Really?" Matthew asked in a clear tone. "Yes," Selina replied, her throat a little dry.

"You brat, you should look at Matthew when you're talking!" Peter began to nag once more.

Selina was speechless.
