My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1219

There were no words to describe the exquisiteness of her features and noble temperament. As Reid said, her beauty was simply out of this world.

Seeing the photo, Caroline suddenly believed that just maybe, this woman was really Matthew's wife.

Such a beautiful woman was indeed qualified to be standing by his side.

"If this woman is truly his wife, where was she before this? Furthermore, why did she only come to look for him now?" Caroline probed deeper.

Reid smiled and answered, "Don't worry about that part, it's a long story. The important thing is that this woman is Matthew's wife, but Matthew is in a relationship with Selina."

He paused and added spitefully. "What do you think would happen in this situation?"

Caroline's eyes lit up maliciously.

She grinned widely and said, "Selina will be in despair."

Caroline could not hold a candle to Selina, but this woman could.

Even putting aside her current position as Matthew's wife, Caroline believed that this woman's appearance alone would be more than a match for Selina.

"Yes." Reid's voice was sinister. "Let this woman drive a wedge into their relationship and turn their lives upside down. Then, we will carry out our plan."

His meticulous plan was in place. Matthew would be unable to escape his well laid plans this time.

Reid wanted Matthew to have a taste of his own medicine.

Since Matthew had dared to ruin his company, Reid would pay him back tenfold!

Time was ticking away,

The sky was getting dark.

Matthew stood up.

He was at a private lounge.

He had sat alone for a few hours.

There was an empty cup on the table.

The tension in his head was causing him to have a migraine.

He still hadn't thought of a solution to his problem.

He hadn't even figured out whether there was any right answer.

He just could not bear it.

Matthew glanced at the watch on his wrist. He should just go back at this point.

After walking out of the private room, Matthew drove back to the villa.

He drove precariously. There were several instances where he almost caused an accident on the way home.

Finally, he arrived at the Perry family villa.

Matthew had never felt such dread to go home or to meet Selina.

He did not know how to face her.

How could he tell Selina that eight years ago, he had married someone else and now had a wife?

Although nothing had happened between him and Saoirse, they were still legally married.

Moreover, it was Saoirse who had been taking care of him. She had sacrificed so much for him.

After some time, Matthew walked through in the front door.

Selina was helping Erine to serve the dishes in the dining hall.

Erine smiled while saying, "Miss Whitlock, the servants will assist me in serving dinner. You don't have to concern yourself with this."

"It's okay," Selina winked, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just help out."

Erine chuckled.

She thought to herself that Matthew had indeed found a great wife.

When all the dishes were served, Selina heard heavy footsteps coming towards the dining hall.

Selina's lips curled up into a smile.

Those footsteps were definitely Matthew's.

Selina ran over to him.

She threw herself into Matthew's arms. "You're home!"

Her feminine scent filled Matthew's senses.

His body froze.

Selina waved her hand in front of Matthew's face and asked, "Why do I feel there something is wrong with you today?"

Matthew had also seemed absent-minded when she'd called him during lunch.

"No, I'm fme." Matthew composed himself.

He forced a smile and replied, "Let's have dinner."

Several times, Matthew glanced at Selina and wanted to say something.

However each time he opened his mouth, no words came out.

He had never felt so conflicted before.

Finally, Selina said. "Matthew, I will only allow you to stay in this state for one night. We're getting our marriage certificate tomorrow. Please snap out of it before then, or..."

Selina squeezed Matthew's arm playfully. "I'll bite you!"

Selina's words dropped another bombshell on Matthew.

It'd completely slipped his mind that tomorrow was the day of their marriage registration.

His mind became frenzied as tension was building up in his head.

The night grew deep.

Selina had fallen asleep.

Matthew was deep in his own thoughts and did not touch her that night.

Noticing that Selina was fast asleep, Matthew quietly got out of the bed.

He called his assistant in the middle of the night.

"Cancel all the arrangements for tomorrow. Inform the staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau that they do

not have to turn up."

Generally, the Civil Affairs Bureau was closed during the weekend. However, because Matthew and Selina wanted to get their marriage certificate on Sunday, they had made an exception.

The assistant was completely stunned. "But Mr. Perry, everything has been arranged."

"Cancel all of them." As soon as Matthew finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

That night, Matthew sat on the sofa with his head in his hands. His handsome face was conflicted.

All of a sudden, Selina stirred.

She was now used to falling asleep in Matthew's arms after being intimate, so she was awakened when her body sensed Matthew wasn't lying next to her.

As she opened her eyes, the surroundings was too dark for her to see anything.

lt was cold on Matthew's side of the bed.

Selina touched the sheets beside her, but felt no one there.
