My Heart only Beats for You

Matthew had once again gone back to his gentle self, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. However, her mind was still in a state of confusion. Selina gulped down the rest of the cappuccino in her hand in one go.

She looked at the empty cup. "There's nothing left." "I'll ask someone to get you another." Just as Matthew was about to call the waiter, he was stopped by Selina, who said, "Why don't we go out for a walk?" She felt like her brain was a little short of oxygen right then. She thought that it might get better if she got sfresh air.

"Sure," Matthew agreed.

They only realized that the driver was still waiting outside when they left.

She had asked the driver to send her here when she came. She was worried that the driver might not be able to find her after losing sight of her.

Selina said to Matthew, "I need to tell the driver that I might go back a little later, and that he might need to wait." "I'll talk to him," Matthew said. Before she could react, Matthew had walked over with large strides.

Selina saw Matthew mumble a few words to the driver through the window, who then drove away directly.

He drove off...

Selina was momentarily stunned.

What was going on...? She was going to ask the driver to send her hlater on. How could the driver just leave like this? Selina looked at Matthew.

"I'm your boyfriend. Are you sure you still need a driver? I'll pick you up and send you back from now on," Matthew said tenderly.

Selina was speechless.

Her eyelashes trembled.

She still hadn't accepted the fact that Matthew had becher boyfriend.

"Old man..." Selina struggled to speak.

"Callby my name." Matthew's gaze fell on Selina's face.

Selina gently licked her lips and called Matthew by his name...

Calling Matthew by his nin their current circumstance felt so foreign and unfamiliar.

Even the thought of it was enough to give her goosebumps.

Selina mumbled weakly, "Can't I just call you old man for now?" She was really not used to the change of address, not to mention that she had not yet adapted to the fact that Matthew had becher boyfriend. "Alright." Matthew did not force Selina. The grin on his face was still as warm as the spring breeze.

"Where do you want to go for a walk?" Matthew asked Selina.

Selina didn't know either.

"Let's just walk around here," she replied.

"There's a park nearby," he mentioned.

"Let's go there for a walk, then," she answered.

The two of them walked side by side towards the park. Suddenly, warmth enveloped Selina's hand and her entire body tensed up.

Matthew... Matthew was holding her hand...

Selina didn't even dare to breathe.

This was the first tshe had held hands with a man other than Dylan.

Selina subconsciously wanted to break free from Matthew's grip. However, Matthew clenched even tighter.

"Selina, it's normal for a couple to hold hands," Matthew said with a clear tone.

His tone was so natural that it did not make others feel pressured, but it did make Selina's tense up even more.

Selina struggled to get away from Matthew's grip, but failed.

First of all, she was physically unable to get herself loose.

Secondly, she had to remind herself that she was already Matthew's girlfriend.

Since they were a couple, like Matthew had said, it was normal to hold hands.

What's more, if she avoided it deliberately, it would only prove that she still couldn't forget Dylan in her heart, which was not what she wanted.

Selina's objections eventually faded away and she allowed Matthew to hold her hand. They walked hand in hand like a real couple.

Although Selina had stopped thinking about it, her heart was still very anxious. This made her palm all sweaty and sticky.

Selina knew that Matthew must've noticed that her palms were sweaty. However, he did not say anything. He still held onto Selina's hand naturally. Selina's heart thumped in her chest all along the way.

She even felt that all the pedestrians on the road were looking at them.

The truth was, she knew that they were not.

Although Matthew was attractive, the park was so dark that only a person's outline could be seen. No one would deliberately stare at them.

She knew that she was overthinking, caused by her anxiety.

Matthew suddenly stopped mid- walk and so Selina's footsteps halted too. Then, she opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

Her mind had been so high up in the clouds that she hadn't noticed what was happening in front of her. When Matthew stopped, she looked up and found that the couple in front of them was locked in a passionate kiss.

Selina was at a loss for words.

There was nothing weird about seeing a couple kissing, especially when darkness had settled over the park, when it would be common for couples to cout and get intimate.

However, right then, Matthew and her were holding hands while running into such a scene...

There was an inexplicable sense of guilt in Selina's heart.

She tugged at Matthew's hand, wanting him to continue walking.

Nevertheless, Matthew's gaze fell on Selina's face. He asked meaningfully, "Do you want to try it too?" What he meant was evident.

After saying that, Matthew bent over her. His handsface was getting closer and closer.

A flicker of fear flashed in Selina's eyes. At the last moment, she stretched out a finger.

She put her finger between her lips and Matthew's.

The warmth from his lips made Selina's heart skip a beat.

Looking at Selina while being so close to her, Matthew's pair of dark eyes seemed to be like a bottomless abyss.

"Hm?" Matthew's elegant tone carried fatal seductiveness.

Selina licked her dry lips. "Is... Isn't all this happening too fast?" Sach Th Findlet website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Matthew's gaze beceven deeper.

Selina lowered her voice. "Can you givestime?" There was a pleading look in her eyes.

Matthew's breath stopped. After a while, he stood up straight. "Alright." His wish to respect Selina still had the upper hand in the end.

The truth was, he had regretted it before. He had regretted it when he found out that Selina was going to get married. He felt that he had been too hesitant.

He had wanted to wait for Selina to grow up, and had been too caught up in worry that he had nearly missed his chance with Selina.

If he had turned a blind eye to Selina's refusal when she was 16 years old, perhaps everything would have been different.

Now that Selina had given him a chance, he did not want to drag it out any longer. He wanted to be more assentive! Unfortunately, he couldn't bear to see the pleading look on Selina's face. The look in Matthew's eyes was profound.

However, since Selina had already promised to be his girlfriend that night, he couldn't be too impatient.

He wanted to slowly get rid of the man in Selina's heart, outrooting him completely and filling that spot himself.

The two of them continued to walk. They didn't have a specific destination in mind, so they just walked forward subconsciously and ended up walking further and further away.

Selina had wanted to suggest going home, but still swallowed her words at the last minute.

She thought that since she was Matthew's girlfriend, she had to act a little more like one. She couldn't just hang out with him for such a short while before already saying that she wanted to go home. Besides, Selina didn't have anywhere else to be. They could walk until the sun rose. After that...

There was the sound of a gasp, and then a collision.
