My Heart only Beats for You

Cecilia focused her gaze on Natalie's face. Her eyes carried a warm light within them as she said, "If Selina and Matthew can be as happy as you and Tobias are, I can rest assured as her mother," Natalie smiled. "Mom, that's for sure. Didn't you see how lovey-dovey Matthew and Selina were? They definitely will have a wonderful married life, just like Tobias and I." "You're right," Cecilia agreed, all smiles.

Matthew and Selina had reached the Perry family's residence.

Prine had been waiting for their return.

When she saw them, she gave Selina a bowl of soup. Prine said, "Miss Whitlock, I have been brewing this soup for the entire afternoon. Drink up," Selina took it with a smile. "Thank you, Prine." She sipped a mouthful, only to find that it didn't taste good at all. It even tasted somewhat weird.

Selina grimaced, but she said nothing and continued drinking it. After all, Prine had painstakingly brewed it for her.

However, Prina voiced out the thoughts in her mind of her own accord. "Does it taste bad?" Selina gave a dry smile.

Erine explained, "This soup is meant for your baby. It's not meant to taste good. Please bear with it, Miss Whitlock," "Pffft." Selina nearly spat a mouthful of soup out.

She looked at Erine, utterly taken aback. "Erine, what are you talking about? I'm not pregnant yet." Erine, on the other hand, looked dead serious. "Miss Whitlock, didn't you tellbefore that you were craving sour foods? Your period hasn't cthis month either. Aren't these signs of pregnancy?" Matthew was still standing beside them, yet Erine was blabbering on without any reservations. Serine's face flushed a bright red. Erine then consulted Matthew. "Sir, don't you think what I'm saying makes sense?" Matthew's lips stretched into a grin. "It's possible." Hearing Matthew's reply, Erine grew more confident in her guess. "Miss Whitlock, I'm right. You must be pregnant." Selina was dumbfounded.

"Miss Whitlock, you haven't menstruated this month yet, have you?" asked Erine.

Selina's face was beet-red. Her period was indeed late, but that didn't mean anything for sure...

Swomen's periods could be late for up to half a month.

Selina helplessly replied, "Erine, you can't just deduce that I'm pregnant based on that. It requires a detailed medical examination," "Then hurry to the hospital and get checked up. It will definitely show that you're pregnant." Erine seemed to have absolute faith in her own words.

As Selina couldn't talk her way out of it, she glanced at Matthew, begging him to rescue her from the situation. Matthew cleared his throat, "Alright, Erine, you've been busy for the entire day. Go rest," "I'm fine, sir. I'm not tired," Erine insisted.

Matthew had no choice but to cut to the chase. "Erine, I need to spend stalone with Selina." Erine understood the meaning behind his words.

"Then, I'll go." However, after a few steps, Erine dashed back towards them again.

Selina figured that Erine was probably going to remind her to finish the soup. Before she could reassure Erine that she would do just that, Erine spoke first.

Selina was pretty sure that she wasn't pregnant, but she couldn't let Erine's efforts go to waste.

However, what Erine had to say wasn't what Serine expected at all.

She gave Matthew a serious look. "Sir, I think Miss Whitlock is definitely pregnant, so it's better if you guys hold off on intercourse for the tbeing. You guys should stay chaste tonight. It's best to wait till tomorrow after you bring her for a checkup." Splash.

Selina spit out the soup in her mouth, and it splashed all over Matthew's suit.

Erine was perplexed.

Did her words have that much of an effect? Selina was so embarrassed that she wished she could just disappear into a hole in the ground.

She hurriedly took out a tissue and began dabbing at Matthew's suit.

However, Matthew grabbed her hand and reassured her, "I'm fine," There was a faint smile on his lips, a loving and powerless one. "Look at you. You're an adult, yet you act just like a little girl." Selina looked up. "Aren't you always callinga little girl? What, you're sick of my childishness now?" Matthew brushed a finger over Selina's nose. "How could I be? I won't get sick of you no matter what. Every part of you is lovely to me." Erine sensibly slipped away when she noticed that Matthew and Selina had transitioned into their own little bubble.

Out of nowhere, Matthew picked Selina up.

The sudden move sent Selina into a slight panic.

"Wrap your arms around my neck," Matthew instructed in a low voice.

Selina immediately hooked her arms around his neck.

He carried her upstairs into the bedroom.

To say Selina was startled was an understatement.

He wanted to do it again even though they had done it relentlessly before lunch? "Matthew, did you take aphrodisiacs?" The question inadvertently slipped out of Selina's mouth.

It silenced Matthew for a moment.

"I'm a fully-functioning man with a high sex drive. I don't need those." Matthew looked Selina in the eye.

"Well, you and I are different. I won't be able to endure your tactics." Selina pouted.

Matthew kissed her tenderly. "Relax, I know. I won't do anything to you tonight." Selina breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Matthew said, "Erine is right as well. We have to prevent against any mishaps from happening." Selina didn't know what to say to that.

Matthew grew more serious. "Selina, let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up." "You really took Erine's words to heart," said Selina, feeling helpless.

Matthew's gaze settled on Selina's belly. "How long has it been since you've had your period?" It was really embarrassing to discuss that sort of thing with a man. Even if that man was the person closest to her.

Selina blushed as she said, "Quite stime," Something stirred within Matthew's eyes. "Then we have to go to the hospital." "It's normal for it to be this late.

There's nothing to examine. I'm sure I'm not pregnant." Selina was els convinced that she wasn't pregnant.

The corners of Matthew's lips curled into a playful smile. "Well, if you aren't pregnant, then something must be wrong with your hormones. Either way, you have to go to the doctor." Selina fell silent.

Then, she clenched her fists and pummeled on Matthew's chest. "You're the one with a problem!"

The two of them tumbled onto the bed and continued play wrestling. Just then, Selina's phone rang. She saw Tobias' non the screen. She told Matthew, "My brother is calling," Selina then answered the phone.

"Tobias." "Selina." Tobias's gruff voice cfrom over the line. "I've just gotten hfrom work. Natalie toldthat Matthew's back." Selina looked at Matthew and smiled. "Yes, do you want to talk to him?" "Forget it. We'll meet anyways. I was calling to tell you about the person you wantedto look for," Tobias said. Selina's body froze instantly.

With Matthew back, Selina was so happy that she had forgotten about Lothar.

There was a sense of urgency in her

voice as she asked, "How is it? Did you find him?" "No." Tobias then m added, "However, you should be mentally prepared. This might be troublesome. The person you're looking for might no longer be alive," X
