My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1102

Selina was dumbfounded.

With Natalie being so near to her delivery date, she normally would not choose to leave the villa, yet she went out that noon.

"Mom, do you think something will happen to her?" Selina asked.

Cecilia shook her head. "Natalie said she would come back soon, and I've sent someone to follow her. She'll be fine."

"Alright," Selina replied.

After a while, Cecilia headed upstairs to rest, and Selina was waiting in the living room.

It didn't take long for Natalie to come back.

Selina immediately asked where she had gone.

Natalie had no intention to hide anything from her as she stated, "I invited Matthew out for lunch."

Selina's breath caught in her throat.

"Why... Why did you invite him out for lunch?" Selina's breathing was a little uneven.

Natalie then explained, "Didn't Matthew have a dating rumor with an actress back then? It turned out that the actress' agency deliberately made it up just to boost her career. She felt sorry towards Matthew, and she's friends with Yvonne too. She wanted to meet up with Matthew to apologize to him in person."

Selina froze as if she had been struck by lightning.

Natalie continued, "Matthew didn't want to meet her at first. I think he must have forgotten about it already, and he didn't mind at all. But since it was a request on my part, he didn't refuse. That's why we had lunch together just now."

Selina's eyelashes trembled as she slowly came to a realization.

After a while, she forced out, "What happened after that?"

"We had lunch, and I came back right after. That's all. Matthew didn't seem to be in a good mood when we left, though, I don't know what's wrong with him..." Natalie paused before continuing, "Or perhaps I'm overthinking. Anyway, it's all sorted out."

Selina was at a loss for words.

Before Natalie could finish what she wanted to say, Selina had already run away.

Selina ran back to her bedroom.

She took out her phone and dialed Matthew's number.

Once again, she had misunderstood everything.

Matthew only had lunch with Jenna because Natalie had arranged it. There was nothing between them. Selina had been imagining things.

Selina felt guilty.

She had to explain to Matthew.

However, his phone was turned off.

It occurred to Selina that she had broken his phone last night.

She ran downstairs in a flurry.

"Selina, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?" Natalie questioned in confusion.

She had just seen Selina running upstairs like a rabbit on its escape, and now she was running back down.

Selina sounded urgent as she said, "Natalie, I have to go out and take care of something."

She then sprinted out.

She got the driver to send her to the largest phone store in town and picked the most expensive mobile phone.

It was black in color and glossy on the surface.

She then asked the driver to send her to the Perry Group.

The traffic was smooth on her way there.

She arrived at the president's office and was about to push the door open when someone called out to her, saying, "Miss Whitlock?"

Selina turned around and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes.

She remembered this person. He seemed to be Matthew's assistant, Stryker.

"I'm looking for Matthew," Selina said directly.

Stryker looked troubled.

Matthew was in a meeting.

If it was someone else, he would've asked them to wait until the meeting was over.

Neither her height nor her vibe could be on par with Matthew, but she still chose to block his path.

Matthew's eyebrows furrowed. "What are you doing here?"

There was a hint of coldness in his voice, which was completely different from his usual gentle voice that made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

Selina's heart ached a little.

However, she was the one who caused this.

Selina showed the new phone in her hand and said, "This is for you."

Matthew pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He didn't even spare her a glance.

Selina continued, "I broke your phone, so this is a gift."

"There's no need," Matthew spat out.

"I broke your phone, I have to make it up to you,"

Selina insisted.

Matthew's voice was icy as he said, "I told you there's no need, so don't bother. Selina, I still have work to attend to, please just leave."

Selina was startled.

Matthew was acting strange, too strange for her to believe that this was reality.

Her eyes were covered with a layer of moisture.

Choked up, she said, "Matthew, how can you be like this? I specially went out to buy you this phone and came all the way here, waiting for you to end your meeting so that I can give you the phone in person. Even so, you're treating me like this. You don't want the phone, and you don't want me here either. Why are you being like this?"

Matthew's heart ached, as if something had sliced through it.

Selina's eyes were covered by mist, and she was sobbing. Seeing this scene was like a flurry of knives stabbing into his heart.

The pain spread slowly.

"Selina," Matthew called out in a hoarse voice. His tone no longer sounded frosty, but instead pained as he said, "Stop making me misunderstand. Just leave."

He didn't want to have any more misunderstandings, especially not about Selina.
