My Heart only Beats for You

Selina stared at the pendant for a few seconds before she came to her senses.

Shocked, she asked, "Mom, did you ask to meet Dylan today?"

Cecilia nodded.

"Why did you do that?!" Selina exclaimed in dismay.

Cecilia sighed, "I was afraid that you were just playing around with Matthew, so I met Dylan to confirm it."

Selina bit her lip and continued, "Playing around? I've told you so many times that I am serious with Matthew. You'll only mislead Dylan by asking him to meet you!"

After all she went through to make things clear with Dylan, now her mother had to go and complicate things. She was afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding between her and Dylan.

Besides, she really did not want to hurt Dylan further. Compared to the trouble she might face, she was more reluctant to cause Dylan even more pain.

Cecilia understood immediately her daughter's concerns.

Cecilia patted Selina's shoulder calmly. "Don't get too worked up. Dylan didn't think too much about it. He confirmed with me that your breakup was final and he wished you and Matthew well. On the contrary, he even asked me to approve your marriage."

Selina was surprised.

Her eyes welled up with emotion.

"Is that so?" Selina murmured.

"Yes, its true." Cecilia added, "Dylan successfully convinced me that your relationship with Matthew is genuine. If it wasn't for his words, I really wouldn't have believed that you moved on from him." Selina took a deep breath.

"Mom, I'm a little upset. Can you please give me some privacy?"

Cecilia stood up. "Sure. Take some time to calm yourself down. I'll call Matthew to invite him over for dinner tonight."

Selina nodded wordlessly.

After Cecilia left the room, Selina stared absent-mindedly at the pendant in her hand.

Although Selina loved Matthew with all her heart, Dylan was still her first love and they had many sweet memories together.

It is impossible to be completely unaffected by Dylan's gesture.

When Matthew arrived at the Whitlock family home that night, Selina appeared to be preoccupied.
