My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1247

Tobias looked around and saw that ahead of them was a wooden bench.

They were now outside the villa. In front of them was a large garden where benches were provided for the residents to rest.

Tobias said, "Selina, let's take a seat there."

Selina hesitated for a moment.

She then agreed, "Okay."

And with that, the both of them went to the garden.

The full moon shone down on them, creating a glowing atmosphere.

They both sat down on the bench.

Seconds later, Tobias turned to Selina and asked, "Selina, what happened?"

She nibbled at her lips silently.

Then Selina asked in return, "Tobias, how are you and Natalie doing?"

"Great," he replied.

She let out a smile full of irony, "We are siblings, and yet our fates are different? Tobias, you have gotten your happy ever after, but what about me?"

In a meaningful tone, Tobias replied, "Selina, happiness is not easily obtained. You must be aware of the slew of events that had happened between Natalie and me. Our joy did not come with ease."

"It didn't, but at least it came. Unlike me."

"Did you quarrel with Matthew again?"

A dash of boundless grief flashed across Selina's eyes, "It was not merely a quarrel."

"Then what on earth is going on?"

"Tobias, do you really want to know?" Selina looked directly at him.

"Of course I do. You are my sister. I wish for you to be happy."

Selina felt her throat tightened and her voice came out as cold and distant as the moon, "Tobias, Matthew is married. He has been, for many years. He has a wife."

Her revelation sent Tobias into a momentary shock.

He immediately exclaimed, "That's impossible!"

Him and Matthew did not have a friendship of one or two years. Matthew didn't even have a woman before he had gotten together with Selina. How could he be married?

"It's the truth."

Tobias's eyes glinted sharply like a pair of knives, "Selina, with a man as ideal as Matthew, there are a lot of women out there who desire to replace you. Have you been set up?"

Selina let out an irritated laugh when she heard this.

Tobias didn't believe her. She knew that it was too good to be true for her brother to believe her.

After all, if she had not heard this from Matthew himself, she would never believe it either.

Her tone got chillier as she added, "Tobias, Matthew personally confided in me about this. I wasn't tricked. He told me himself."

A huge ripple of emotions appeared in Tobias's eyes, "What's going on?"

Selina explained the whole issue in detail, "That wife of his is a very beautiful biracial woman. Matthew admitted that she was his wife. Therefore, when Mother previously commented on how I lacked self control, it just showed that she still views him as a good person. But she didn't know what kind of person he truly is!"

Tobias tried to control his emotions, "I'll go find Matthew."

Selina quickly objected, "Tobias, what good will that do? I have already experienced enough shame from this. Please don't embarrass me

anymore."

Tobias eyes steeled with determination, "Selina, you are my sister. If Matthew really lied to you, then you deserve a proper explanation from him, regardless of anything! You are my little sister. I will not allow you to be bullied like that!"

A sense of warmth filled Selina's heart.

At least Tobias was on her side at the moment. He had chosen to trust her.

"That is not necessary," she murmured.

Tobias stood up from his seat, "Go back home first. Have a good rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Selina glanced back at the villa, and said, "I don't want to go back."

"Where else will you go then?"

"I will go to a hotel. At least I won't need to hear Mother's nagging."

"I have something to do."

"What things?"

Tobias's eyes dimmed at her question, "Natalie, I'll tell you about it later."

Natalie had complete trust in Tobias, so she didn't continue to pursue the issue. If Tobias said he would let her know later, then so be it.

"Alright. Come back home early."

After leaving the Whitlock family, Tobias phoned Matthew.

In a serious tone, he said, "Matthew, where are you? I have something to discuss with you."

"I'll be waiting for you at my house," Matthew's voice sounded weary and low through the phone.

A while later, Tobias arrived at the Perry family villa.

When he arrived, Prine opened the door for him.

Prine had been with Matthew for years, so even though Tobias and her were not close, they still knew each other.

Usually Prine would only greet Tobias briefly whenever she saw him, but this time, she chatted away.

With a face full of worry, she said, "Mr. Whitlock, are you looking for Mr. Perry? That's good! Please take a look at him. Something has happened. He hasn't eaten nor drunk anything after returning home. He won't answer my questions. It is making me anxious!"

Matthew had returned in the afternoon and wasn't acting like his old self. Prine didn't dare to probe too much and could only worry silently.

Tobias cast a glance at Prine when he heard this and said, "I'll have a talk with him then."

Matthew was waiting for Tobias in the living room.

For some reason, the normally well-lit living room was dark that day. The darkness of the room reflected Matthew's dull face.

Tobias took a seat opposite of Matthew.

He then went straight to the point, "Matthew, you're married."

Matthew did not pause at all when he answered, "Yes."

Anger filled Tobias's eyes as he accused, "Matthew, how dare you lie to my sister!"
