My Heart only Beats for You

Caroline thanked Brennan and then implored him to help her complete another task quickly.

After getting the phone number, she immediately went to check the owner of that number.

It was Reid Perry.

His nlit up in her eyes.

She held her breath.

Reid had recently made the news in Agaphen City, so she could clearly recall who he was.

He had his own business in the city, but it was at the edge of bankruptcy. The shareholders had withdrawn their capital and suppliers was making a fuss at his office for him to repay the debts he owed them. Moreover, it was rumored that the reason behind Reid's company's bankruptcy was closely related to Matthew.

Reid had even personally told the media of how this was the cold-blooded Matthew's doing, not even giving him, his biological brother a chance.

However, due to Matthew's good reputation, not many people believed in Reid's statement.

Caroline tapped her finger against her knee in a rhythmic tempo.

Why would Reid want to spy on Selina? It was obvious that Reid had a bad relationship with Matthew, otherwise, he would not have accused his own brother in front of the media.

What was the connection between these two? She still couldn't figure it out after much thinking.

At the end of it, she made a bold decision.

She decided to see Reid personally.

She dialed his number.

The call got connected after a few rings.

Reid sounded suspicious.

"Who is this?" This was a stranger's number as it was not in his contact list.

She spoke in a soft tone, "The listening device that you planted on Selina's dog is currently with me." Reid was shocked.

His listening device! No wonder it hadn't showed any signals for so long! He raised his voice, "Who the hell are you?" Caroline softened her tone and said, "If you're against Selina, and your purpose for spying on her was to plot against her, then I'm your ally. If not, just ignore this call of mine." There was an urgency to his tone.

"We are allies. Now tellwho you are." She then revealed the nof a private club to him and said, "Let's meet here at ten tonight. Remember to calone." Selina had dinner at the Whitlock family villa that night.

Hayden did not eat much.

His stomach had been bloated with Coke that day.

Since their return, both Cecilia and Natalie had been rather anxious.

This was because they'd only realized that Hayden had gone along after Selina and the others left the house. After all, he was a child and might accidentally tell Peter the truth.

With this in mind, Cecilia pulled Selina aside after dinner, without anyone noticing. She asked nervously, "Selina, did anything happen while you guys were out today? Dad didn't notice anything strange between you and Matthew, did he?" Selina was momentarily dazed by her question but she soon understood what she was trying to say. She replied in an exasperated tone, "Mom, didn't I say before that Matthew and I are really dating now?" How could she make Cecilia believe her? Cecilia shot her a look of displeasure as she retorted, "Stop messing with me. It was only after you left that Natalie and I realized that it wasn't right to let Hayden go along. He is smart but not good with his words. If he finds out something and informs Dad about it, we will be in trouble." Selina didn't say anything in return.

She recalled Hayden seeing them kiss.

Could Matthew be right? Maybe it would be a good thing if Hayden were to tell Cecilia about their kiss. Henceforth, Selina decided to not be embarrassed about it and said to Cecilia, "Mom, why don't you ask Hayden if he found out anything?" When Cecilia and Selina were chatting, Natalie had gone to look for Matthew.

She asked the squestion as Cecilia did.

"Matthew, Mom and I were thinking that it was a mistake for us to allow Hayden to join you guys at the amusement park. If he discovered anything wrong between you and Selina, and mentioned it to Grandpa, I don't think we would be able to salvage the situation," said Natalie, worried.

Matthew looked over at Natalie, "Natalie, you need not worry about this. Selina and I are no longer acting." Natalie let out a small sigh.

She didn't speak, but the expression on her face said it all.

She didn't believe what Matthew said.

She didn't think that Selina was sincere towards Matthew.

Matthew looked helpless.

He knew that all explanations would be useless at that moment. Natalie had a strong impression of Selina and Dylan's relationship.

Such an impression would not be easily dispelled by a few words.

It was the sfor the situation of Selina and that friend of hers.

Selina had said that she was unable to make it clear, so he didn't comment much on it.

As he understood how many things in this world were and would stay unexplainable.

Not every misunderstanding could be cleared up.

He could only console Natalie, "Don't you fret. Peter thinks that Selina and I are getting along well. Everyone had a good ttoday." Hearing this, Natalie let out a sigh of relief.

Hayden cup to Selina to specially ask for credit.

He proudly said, "Grandmother had just askedif I saw anything wrong between you and Mr. Perry. I told her I didn't." Selina's big, doe eyes twinkled at his words.

She stayed silent.

She actually wanted him to talk about it now.

She then bent down to his height and whispered, "Actually Hayden, you can tell her everything you saw."

It would be better for him to tell Cecilia about their kiss. Although it was a bit embarrassing, but it was better than being doubted by Cecilia. Hayden, on the other hand, was not willing.

He patted his own chest and huffed,

"Aunt Selina, I am a man. A man should always keep his promises. You bought meЄoke, so I will never tell others about your embarrassing moment." Selina paused at his statement.

She then clarified, "I actually don't mind. I don't need you to keep your word." "No!" he opposed, while putting on airs of never adult, "A gentleman would t his words. I will never say it, even if I were to be beaten to death." Selina was speechless.

She stood up. Fine, if he didn't wish to disclose this matter, then so be it.

It was gradually turning dark.

In the blink of an eye, it had reached bedtime.

Both Selina and Matthew stayed in the villa that night.

While Peter was still there, they would stay in the villa to spend twith him.

As soon as they entered the bedroom, Matthew pressed Selina against the corner of the 1 wall, trapping her between him and the wall. His eyes glowed with an odd light," Is your period over ?" X
