My Heart only Beats for You

Selina was dumbfounded.

With Natalie being so near to her delivery date, she normally would not choose to leave the villa, yet she went out that noon. "Mom, do you think something will happen to her?" Selina asked.

Cecilia shook her head. "Natalie said she would come back soon, and I've sent someone to follow her. She'll be fine."

"Alright," Selina replied.

After a while, Cecilia headed upstairs to rest, and Selina was waiting in the living room.

It didn't take long for Natalie to come back.

Selina immediately asked where she had gone.

Natalie had no intention to hide anything from her as she stated, "I invited Matthew out for lunch."

Selina's breath caught in her throat.

"Why... Why did you invite him out for lunch?" Selina's breathing was a little uneven.

Natalie then explained, "Didn't Matthew have a dating rumor with an actress back then? It turned out that the actress' agency deliberately made it up just to boost her career. She felt sorry towards Matthew, and she's friends with Yvonne too. She wanted to meet up with Matthew to apologize to him in person."

Selina froze as if she had been struck by lightning.

Natalie continued, "Matthew didn't want to meet her at first. I think he must have forgotten about it already, and he didn't mind at all. But since it was a request on my part, he didn't refuse. That's why we had lunch together just now."

Selina's eyelashes trembled as she slowly came to a realization.

After a while, she forced out, "What happened after that?"

"We had lunch, and I came back right after. That's all. Matthew didn't seem to be in a good mood when we left, though, I don't know what's wrong with him..." Natalie paused before continuing, "Or perhaps I'm overthinking. Anyway, it's all sorted out."

Selina was at a loss for words.

Before Natalie could finish what she wanted to say, Selina had already run away.

Selina ran back to her bedroom.

She took out her phone and dialed Matthew's number.

Once again, she had misunderstood everything.

Matthew only had lunch with Jenna because Natalie had arranged it. There was nothing between them. Selina had been imagining things.

Selina felt guilty.
