My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1220

Selina's drowsiness disappeared instantly.

She sat up and turned on the lights.

There was no sign of Matthew in the empty bedroom.

She got out of bed immediately.

Selina walked down the stairs and saw that the living room was dimly lit.

She breathed out a sigh of relief.

Matthew was in the living room.

Why was he not asleep? What was he doing in the living room so late at night?

Selina smiled to herself after she thought about it.

She thought she knew why Matthew was still awake.

Selina entered the living room and saw Matthew sitting on the sofa.

His back was facing her, as light enveloped his silhouette.

Selina tip-toed behind Matthew and covered his eyes with her hands.

"Guess who?" Selina tried to disguise her voice.

However, Matthew was not in the mood to entertain Selina.

He gently but firmly removed Selina's hands from his eyes.

"Selina. Why did you get up?" Matthew's voice was a little rough.

Selina pouted. "You're no fun. You didn't even guess who I am."

She sat down beside Matthew. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

He pursed his lips and did not reply her.

Selina raised her head to look at Matthew. "I think I know why you are sitting here instead of sleeping."

Matthew held his breath.

His voice grew hoarse. "Selina."

Selina said teasingly, "It's because you're nervous, right? You can't sleep because you were thinking about when we will become husband and wife tomorrow."

She looked at Matthew with a wide smile.

Matthew was mesmerized by Selina's dazzling smile.

lt was so dazzling that his heart ached.

"In fact, you don't have to be nervous." Selina comforted. "We are just moving into the next chapter of our life together."

She paused and said with embarrassment, "To be frank, I am also a little nervous but it's far from the point of being unable to fall asleep."

He didn't reply her.

Selina noticed Matthew was still silent after all that she had said.

She was confused.

"Why are you so silent? Are you okay?"

Matthew steeled his resolve. "Selina, can we delay our marriage registration? Let's put it off for a while."

Selina was stunned by his request.

"Why?" She blurted out after a moment.

Matthew did not respond.

He did not know how to answer Selina.

Selina's eyebrows knitted together. "Is is because you are too busy? Do you have to work tomorrow?"

Matthew seemed to have been in low spirits for the whole day. Maybe it was due to some problems at work.

He was so busy that he had to postpone the marriage registration.

Matthew felt like his throat was closing up. He just nodded, unable to say a word.

"Is that so?" Selina probed further.

Matthew wanted to give her an explanation, but he could not bring himself to lie to her,

Selina did not think twice about the half-baked excuse Matthew gave.

She did not have any reason to suspect Matthew would lie to her. Their relationship was too strong.

Selina pulled a face. She replied reluctantly, "Alright then, we'll delay the registration."

Although Selina agreed to it, it was obvious that she was disappointed.

Her hair was in a tangled mess, and her eyes were full of bloody tears. "Selina, karma will catch up with you. You will have retribution. There will be a day when someone steals Matthew away from you."

The next morning soon arrived.

Saoirse received a call from Reid.

Reid greeted her politely, "Miss Saoirse, I am sorry to disturb you so early in the morning, but I have something important to discuss. Do you have time?"

Reid was Matthew's brother, and he had been instrumental in reuniting her with Matthew. Even if Saoirse were busy, she would make time for him.

Not to mention that she truly had nothing to do.

Saoirse readily agreed.

She took Liselle and met Reid at a coffee shop.

The rich aroma of coffee filled the cafe. It was a good place to relax and have small talk over a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Perry, what is it that you had to discuss with me?" Saoirse asked.

Saoirse assumed that Reid must have an important reason for this meeting.

"Have some coffee first. We'll talk then." Reid suggested.

He looked at Liselle, who was standing beside Saoirse, and urged, "Sit down and have a drink together."

Liselle was flattered, but she still conducted herself appropriately. "It's okay, Mr Perry. I'll just stand beside Miss Saoirse. She is my mistress."

Reid nodded and did not insist.

He continued, "Miss Saoirse, there is something crucial that you must know, but I really can't bear to tell you. Please be mentally prepared."

Saoirse's heart rose to her throat.

On the other hand, Liselle could not help but ask anxiously, "Mr. Perry, what's the matter?"

Saoirse looked at Liselle sternly. "Don't interrupt."

Liselle bit her lip and remained silent.

Reid sighed and explained, "I have had some disagreements with my brother recently, which made him hate me. Miss Saoirse, do you know the reason why?"

Saoirse shook her head.

"It was because of you, Miss Saoirse."

Saoirse's eyes flashed in astonishment. "Mr. Perry, how did I make such trouble for you and William?"
