My Heart only Beats for You

"But I'm not aging at a normal speed! You'll still look young when I don't."

"If we age at the same speed, will it dispel all your fears?" Matthew stared into Selina's eyes.

"Of course!" She blurted out, "Of course, I'll feel better if we both age. That's how it should be. But how can I face you now, Matthew?"

Then, she took a deep breath and added, "Matthew, if you know what's best for me, you would leave me. I don't want to show you this side of me. I have my pride. Please let me leave this world dignified."

The flicker of emotions in his eyes was difficult to understand. "Okay, I promise. You can have your pride. I will leave you tomorrow."

After hearing what he said, she was finally relieved.

At least he would not see her at her worst.

"Promise me that you will get over my death and live your own life," she added.

However, he did not agree.

"Selina, let's spend the rest of today together. We'll talk about these things later." He brushed past her

question.

She bit her lip and said nothing.

They spent the rest of the day like how they always did. He cooked for her, and they talked to each other.

She felt like she was in a trance.

It even gave her some sort of impression.

Could it be that nothing had happened? And this was just a dream she was in? Caroline had never poisoned her, and she would not be dying anytime soon? Otherwise, how could be so in peace when spending time with him?

But when she accidentally saw her gray hair in the mirror, she suddenly realized that everything was real.

The bitterness came back to her.

He already promised her he would leave the next day.

It was good that they would spend the last moment together like this.

In the evening, she experienced the most lively meal she had since coming to this seaside villa.
