My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1085

The truth was, she had a slight hunch that it might not be what she was thinking, but she was still hesitant. Either way, it was a really contradictory feeling.

At this moment, Erine abruptly exclaimed, "Oh, Mr. Perry is back."

Selina was startled.

The spatula in her hand dropped.

Matthew bent down and picked it up. With a smile in his eyes, he chastised, "Be careful."

"Why did you come back so suddenly?" Selina looked at Matthew.

"I planned to come back from the start, so it's not sudden," Matthew replied. He paused and asked, "Why are you in the kitchen?"

This was the first time that he had seen Selina in the kitchen, and it seemed that she was cooking.

As soon as Matthew finished speaking, Erine immediately followed up, "Mr. Perry, Miss Whitlock said that she wanted to cook for you!"

A look of astonishment flashed in Matthew's eyes.

Selina felt so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in a hole.

She had wanted to find an excuse for herself at that moment, but Erine had already continued, saying, "Miss Whitlock is really considerate. She just asked me about your favorite food and wants me to teach her how to cook. Miss Whitlock really treats you well."

"Mr. Perry, Miss Whitlock is such a good girl!" Erine even gave a thumbs- up to Matthew on purpose.

Selina felt shy. "Erine, stop it."

This was the first time that other people's praise of her made her feel ashamed.

She was embarrassed, indescribably so.

She walked towards Erine, pushed her away and insisted, "Erine, you can go out first. I'll cook alone in the kitchen. You can do other things."

Selina decided to push her away so she wouldn't keep talking.

Erine still wanted to say something, but Matthew interrupted her. "Erine, I'll stay here. You can go out first."

As soon as Erine heard that Matthew would stay, she directly walked out with a smile.

Once she left, Matthew and Selina were alone.

Although there was only one person missing, the atmosphere seemed to have died down in an instant.

Selina felt really awkward.

"You're cooking for me?" Matthew teased while he stared at Selina with a faint smile on his lips.

Selina's face became even redder. "Dream on. It's only because you went out suddenly and nobody was around to cook for me, so I decided to cook by myself. Did you think that I would really cook for you?"

Matthew sighed softly. "I actually went out for you."

Selina didn't hear him clearly.

She widened her eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

"Nothing," Matthew replied. After that, he paused. "The food is burning."

Hearing this, Selina was shocked.

She looked into the pot immediately. Fortunately, the water that had just been added was still there. The food inside was not burnt at all.

She couldn't help but glare at Matthew. "Don't talk nonsense. It is not overcooked yet."

Matthew simply admitted it. "Yeah, I lied to you."

Selina snorted and hit Matthew. "That's what you get for lying."

Matthew didn't say anything.

As she said that, her voice was soft to the extreme, carrying a playful hint to it.

Selina was stunned for a while.

What she had said and the way she had hit Matthew was so intimate, wasn't it? It seemed like the kind of thing only lovers would do.

It was as if they were a bickering couple.

Selina's face became redder.

She couldn't help but glance at Matthew secretly, only to find that he was staring at her with a grin on his face.

His clear, dark eyes, which looked as if they had countless stars in them, were really focused, with only Selina reflected in them.

Selina's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a surge of bravery.

Selina spat the food out in the trash can.

"You’re lying. It's obviously too sweet. So sweet that it's inedible."

It felt as if she had just swallowed a whole pound of sugar. It tasted dizzyingly sweet.

"How can it be so sweet?" Selina asked in confusion.

Matthew couldn't help laughing and replied, "I guess you mistook sugar and salt. Not to mention, you must have put in too much."

Selina was speechless.

After thinking about it for a while, she found it relatively plausible.

When she began to add the seasoning, she was talking to Erine about Matthew. Both of them were absent-minded, so they didn't notice.

"I'll throw it away, it's not fit to eat," Selina mentioned as she was about to pour it into the trash can.

"Wait a minute, I'll eat it." Matthew stopped Selina.

Selina looked at Matthew in surprise and asked, "How can you eat it? It's really bad, isn't it?"

Matthew's lips curved into a faint smile and he answered, "Anything you cook is delicious. How can I not eat something that you specially made for me?"

Selina's face flushed red.

She mumbled, "I didn't make it for you. I made it for myself."

"Do you like it, then?" Matthew questioned Selina.

Selina shook her head and replied, "Nope."

Who would like such sweet food?

With a smile in his eyes, Matthew responded, "Exactly, so I'll be the one to eat it."

After he finished talking, he really began to eat.

Without much care, he ate it directly from the plate.

In the blink of an eye, he polished it off.

It was strange that this man, who was just standing there casually and eating it so quickly, still looked unbelievably elegant, as if he had come out from a TV show about royalty.
