My Heart only Beats for You

Cecilia shot a glare at Selina. "Oh, so you're self-aware? Sometimes I can't tell whether you are my biological daughter or Natalie is."

Selina put on a show of mock sadness. "Mom, you know that saying, 'out with the old, in with the new'? That's you! You forgot all about your blood-and-flesh daughter as soon as Natalie married into the family." Everyone was silent.

Then, cheerful laughter burst out all around. At that moment, Francia and Bowie were heading to the Whitlock residence too.

They had seen the news online.

Bowie was overjoyed.

She consulted Francia and suggested meeting Matthew.

When Francia saw that Matthew was not involved in any of it, she thought it over again. Finally, she decided that that man was worthy of her daughter. Hence, that night, she had brought Bowie to the Whitlock family's mansion.

She would have a good talk with Natalie.

She needed to be strict, as aunts should. They had to bring up James too, to pressure Natalie.

When they arrived at the door of the villa, Bowie was suddenly struck with concern. "Mom, do you think Natalie will listen to you?"

After all, Natalie had rejected them many times. The last time, she had even flown into a rage.

Glaring, Francia said, "It's all because I didn't act enough like her aunt! If she doesn't agree this time, I will bring James up. Would her deceased uncle forgive her for treating me this way?" Bowie figured that James was Francia's trump card.

Hence, Bowie nodded, "Mom, that's a good idea. Natalie doesn't care about us at all. Even so, if we bring up James, she might reconsider."

Francia spat on the ground.

Bowie's words burrowed into her mind. Natalie only cared about James. She did not take her aunt, Francia, seriously at all.

"She's heartless." Francia couldn't resist saying, "I'm her aunt, no matter what. How could she treat me that disrespectfully?"

"That's right!" Bowie grumbled, "All she did was buy a villa for us and give us some money. We were so happy at first but now we know that those are nothing for the Whitlock family." Francia huffed indignantly, "Right, we didn't know about that at first. I think she should at least give us a company for us to be directors or something."

The two of them strutted into the Whitlock family's mansion while they conversed.

When they arrived in the living room, they were met with a gale of laughter.
