My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1142

Matthew had yet to fall asleep. Instead, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window once again.

Selina walked into the bedroom and then closed the door behind her.

He appeared to be so deep in thought that he didn't notice her entering the bedroom at all.

She silently crept towards him, step by step. The moment she was within reach, she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and then snuggled her face into his back.

His skin was burning hot, the temperature spreading to her own face as well.

She could not stop herself from smiling.

He just had a natural power to make people feel at ease.

She had just simply put her arms around his waist, and a sense of security was already enveloping her.

She thought that when she initiated such intimate actions towards Matthew, he would definitely react to it. However, this man did not move an inch.

Nevertheless, Selina didn't think much about it.

She gently called out, "What are you looking at?"

And in the next second, her arms, wrapped around his waist, were pulled off by him.

He finally came to his senses, looking down at her from above as he replied, "People's heart."

Selina's eyes were engulfed with confusion.

She didn't understand what he was trying to convey.

However, it didn't matter right now. They had much more important things to proceed with.

She flashed a smile at him, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Her sweet smile was extraordinarily beautiful. It had the same effect as pure moonlight that shone through the windows and it momentarily took his breath away.

He asked her back in a deep voice, "What day is it?"

Her smile grew even wider, "It's the day when my period ends."

After that, she stood up on her tiptoes and whispered into his ear, "Are you up for some fun?"

The moment these words left her mouth, she started to flush red from the top of her head to the ends of her toes.

She had initially prepared herself and intended to seduce him like those femme- fatales she had seen in movies. However, she still couldn't help but blush when she uttered those words.

Matthew's mind exploded at her invitation.

Seeing her being so daring, he recalled once again the conversation he had heard on the phone and those things that were hidden in her bag.

He looked at her, dumbfounded, "Selina, have you always been so bold like this?"

Her face turned an even darker shade of red.

She took a deep breath and looked back at him, her alluring eyes glinting. "What do you think?"

She didn't want herself to come off as too shy, as she wished to be more eager and spontaneous.

However, no matter how badly she wanted to act so in real life, the crimson stains on her cheeks still did not fade.

A wave of emotions passed through Matthew's eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, he spat out a sentence from his mouth, "Were you this bold to Dylan as well?"

Selina felt as if she had been struck in the head.

She stared at him in disbelief.

At this very moment, all the unruly desires that belonged to young women, as well as the raunchy fantasies, quickly dissipated.

All that remained was pure shock.

She had never imagined that he would say such a thing.

A twinge of shame crawled through her entire body.

She replied, enunciating each word clearly, "Matthew, what do you mean by that?"

Her frosty gaze pierced into his eyes, just like a sharp sword.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Matthew immediately regretted it.

He shouldn't have asked her that.

He shouldn't have said that before finding out the truth.

He had always been a calm and level- headed person, but he had felt like a complete mess since that afternoon.

"I'm sorry, Selina," he muttered to her, "I'll stay at my house tonight. I'll come see you tomorrow."

His mind was in such a jumble that he needed a night's peace to recover from this.

After saying that, he headed towards the entrance of the bedroom.

The word "weak" had never been used to describe her!

What could be on Matthew's mind? She had to find him and question him clearly about this.

Even if this man was truly disgusted with her past, he must still give her an explanation!

He couldn't be so fickle like this!

Selina picked up her phone.

But, as she was about to dial his number, all the courage that had filled her up just now seemed to have dissipated.

With her phone in her hand, she sat there, stupefied for quite a while.

After a moment, she put down the phone.

Wouldn't it be spineless for her to make a phone call?

Wouldn't it be perceived as her being too clingy?

It was clear as day the way he had treated her just now, acting as if she was invisible despite her being right in front of him. Why should she phone him at all?

But if she didn't, wouldn't it leave things messy?

Matthew had clearly told her that he wanted to be with her yet now he was acting this way. Did he find her such an easy target to bully?

Did he really think that she would let him treat her as hot or as coldly as he liked?

Her thick, long eyelashes couldn't stop trembling in anger.

Moments later, she exited the bedroom.

She went downstairs, looking for a glass of iced water to calm herself down.

After pouring herself a glass of water, she went to the refrigerator and quickly threw a few ice cubes into it.

Meanwhile, Natalie had also come downstairs.

She didn't want to trouble Tobias when she got hungry in the middle of the night. She felt sorry towards him, but Cecelia's previous reminder was still stuck in her head. After much deliberation, she decided to take advantage of the time when he had just fallen asleep to go grab some snacks and fruits, so that she wouldn't be hungry at night.

This led to her coming across Selina filling her glass with ice.

This scene gave her a fright.

She quickly took Selina's water away and questioned her, "What are you doing, Selina?"
