My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 882

Selina knew that Cecilia adored Matthew.

If she were to tell her that they've broken up, she would be furiously disappointed.

"What's the matter, dear?" Cecilia asked.

Selina took a deep breath.

Never mind! What did she have to feel guilty for? It was over between them, she would just have to accept it!

"Mom, I've already broken up with Matthew!"

Cecilia's body tensed up, frozen in place.

Natalie was equally shocked by this news.

She stood up. "Why would you go and do that, Selina?"

Lowering her head, Selina stared at her feet. "We just did. No reason."

"Selina!" Cecilia's voice was sharp and piercing. "How could you be so reckless?! Matthew is such a rare catch. I never would have dreamed that such a fine specimen of a man would fall in love with you. And yet he did! Now you've gone and thrown it all away. What were you thinking?!"

She had never used this tone with Selina before.

She was certain now that Selina was out of sorts. She had tolerated many of her mistakes in the past, but breaking up with Matthew was taking it to a whole new level of disappointment.

Matthew was an outstanding man, so much so that Cecilia was convinced that he surpassed Tobias.

She could not believe that Selina would be so foolish as to leave him.

Selina was already in a terrible mood this morning. Cecilia's outburst only made it worse and now she felt insulted.

"Mom, how could you say that? What do you mean you've never dreamed a man like him would ever love me? Am I such a horrible person?"

Cecilia composed herself. "Selina, that's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is you shouldn't have behaved so recklessly!"

Natalie spoke up to her. "Selina, no mother would ever think bad of their daughter. It's just that Matthew is a really good man. You shouldn't have rejected him."

Selina bit her lip, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.

"Yes, he is amazing." She stomped her feet heavily. "But I don't love him and I can't change that. I know what I've done and believe me, I will make it up to him. You can stop lecturing me about it!"

She then ran out the door.

Natalie began to chase after her when Cecilia pulled her back. "Natalie, don't. You're pregnant."

"But Selina..." Natalie looked anxiously at her.

Cecilia shook her head solemnly. "It's her decision. I know she couldn't leave him. They've been together for so many years. Getting Matthew involved with all this would just be in vain!"

After Selina dashed out, her mind was in a mess.

Cecilia's word kept echoing in her mind, repeating ceaselessly. It was drawing the air out of her.

She felt horrible for Matthew, she really did!

She already knew all of this! What is the point of everyone constantly reminding her about it over and over again? Why were they treating her like a little girl?

Eventually she found herself at a cafe and took a seat.

She let herself settle down before she decided to make a phone call to her friend, Caroline, who was currently away in the United States.

They were extremely close friends.

Caroline came from a noble family and was extremely intelligent. She had graduated from Harvard and had an amazingly fit figure. Her body was seductively curvy and was at peak attractiveness.

Selina believed that introducing Caroline to Matthew would be a good way to make up with him.

She was confident with how amazing Caroline was. She would be a perfect match for Matthew.

The call went through and she could hear Caroline's voice.

She had a very pleasant voice. It was so gentle and soft, the kind that most men would like.

Selina was surprised. "You already have a picture of him?"

Caroline smiled. "A man as famous and prestigious as him is bound to have pictures of himself floating about the internet. I'm going to hang up and after I find one I'll send it to you."

Shortly after the call ended, her phone beeped.

She had received a text from Caroline.

She opened the message and saw a picture.

It was a side profile of Matthew.

It looked like he was looking at something and had a slight smile.

The background of the picture showed bustling city streets and had high- rise buildings everywhere.

The sun was bright, but not as bright as the subtle grin on Matthew's face. His gorgeous smile hung on the corners of his mouth and had a casual sincerity to it.

His dusky eyes were slightly squinted, and looked like the moon reflecting off fresh spring water.

She found her heart beating faster.

It was the first time seeing Matthew in a picture. He was an incredibly good-looking man. He was already handsome and impeccable in person, but he gave off a completely different feeling in this picture.

She could not take her eyes off the picture.

It was another message from Caroline that snapped her back into reality.

"Hey, say something. Is it him? Is that Matthew Perry?"

Selina simply replied with a simple "Yes".

Suddenly her phone starting ringing. It was a call from Caroline.

She sounded excited. "Goodness Selina, how did you ever get acquainted with Matthew? How come I never knew about it?"
