My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 1084

"He's gone out," Peter informed.

He didn't tell Selina the reason why Matthew went out. Instead, he wanted Matthew to give her a surprise when he came back.

Selina was surprised.

Matthew had gone out?

What for?

Why would he go out even when Peter was still here?

"Grandpa, do you know what he went out for?" Selina asked.

Peter shook his head and said mysteriously, "You'll know when he comes back. I don't know either. It might be something important."

"Oh," Selina replied.

What was so important that Matthew had run out at dinnertime?

Selina didn't think much about it and asked Peter, "Grandpa, are you hungry now? Do you want me to cook for you?"

Peter looked surprised. "Did I really hear you correctly? A brat like you knows how to cook?"

Selina smiled, embarrassed.

Matthew had reminded her of her duty. Even an outsider like Matthew had taken the initiative to prepare dinner for Peter, but that thought had never even crossed her mind. She felt quite ashamed when she thought about it.

"I can cook some simple dishes. Besides, there are servants to help me. What would you like to eat, Grandpa?"

Peter waved his hand. "I don't want to eat anymore. I'm already full, but you can still make something for Matthew."

Selina was stunned for a moment.

After a while, she muttered, "Who would want to cook for him?"

She said this under her breath.

Peter gave Selina a cold look and scolded, "That's not right. As his wife, shouldn't cooking for your husband be something natural?"

Selina remained silent.

Peter continued, "As a woman, you need to be more sensible and gentle, and you need to learn to cook. Only then will Matthew love you. You should be aware of this, Selina."

Selina was extremely disapproving of Peter's words. "Who said that? Do I have to be sensible and gentle just because I'm a woman?"

Peter snorted. "Men like gentle and sensible girls anyway."

Selina was speechless.

Suddenly, someone appeared in her mind.

Joycelyn.

She was the perfect picture of a gentle and sensible woman.

Selina felt abrupt disappointment.

Peter's words were true, weren't they? A woman like Joycelyn was a total b*tch in her eyes, but she was any man's favorite. So that was why Matthew was in a relationship with Joycelyn, wasn't he? Hearing that, Selina's heart throbbed again.

"I'll go to the kitchen to cook something," Selina muttered after a while.

Selina walked into the kitchen.

Likely because Matthew had ordered them not to do so in advance, the servants hadn't prepared dinner. They had only washed and prepared all the ingredients.

Selina froze when she saw so many ingredients.

To be honest, she had never cooked before. She hadn't even cooked instant noodles by herself.

Selina felt that she had to ask for help, and she looked for Erine.

An expression of shock appeared on Erine's face. "Miss Whitlock, didn't Mr. Perry say that he would be preparing dinner tonight? Why is it you instead?"

The corner of Selina's mouth twitched. "I don't even know where he is right now."

She paused for a while and continued, "Erine, please teach me how to cook."

Erine thought for a moment and suddenly realized something. "I've got it. You want to cook for your husband, right? This is good. To win a man's heart, you have to win over his stomach first. Miss Whitlock, you are so smart."

Selina remained silent.

She wondered about whether old people like Erine and Peter had the exact same thoughts.

She didn't want to follow such a traditional mindset.

Although Selina thought this way, she still blurted out, "Erine, what is Matthew's favorite food?"

Erine listed them down immediately.

As Selina listened, her heart rippled.

It turned out that Matthew liked to eat food like that...

She remembered that Erine had told her before, but she had forgotten it.

Humans were prone to forget things, but how could Matthew always remember Selina's favorites?

"Miss Whitlock, let's cook some stir-fried vegetables first. I'll teach you how to prepare it," Erine offered and started to gesture around.

Selina had the genuine intent to cook as well, so she was eager to learn.

Selina had a knack for cooking, and got the hang of it in a short period of time.

Erine gave her instructions as she cooked.

There was something she had

wanted to say from the moment Selina first came, but she had never found the right time. Erine took the opportunity to talk about it right

then as she thought it was a perfect time.

"Miss Whitlock, have you reconciled with Mr. Perry?" Erine asked softly.

Selina's breathing stopped for a moment.

She shook her head.

Erine's eyes dimmed at once.

"The truth is, Mr. Perry already reminded us that your grandfather would be coming, and told us not to talk about the fact that you've been separated for a period of time.

know you're just acting in front of

the old man. I've seen this in

télevision shows before," Erine mumbled, disappointed.

Selina's heart turned bitter from the disappointment in Erine's words.

Erine continued, "However, I thought that you and Mr. Perry might not be acting, and that perhaps you've reconciled with him."

"Erine, don't say anything more." Selina couldn't help interrupting Erine.

The more she listened, the sadder she became.

Erine was quiet for a moment.

After a moment's silence, she still couldn't help but say, "Miss Whitlock, why did you separate with Mr. Perry?"

She had asked Matthew before, who had already given her the answer. However, Erine refused to believe it. How could she not fall in love with such an excellent man? Hence, Erine came to ask Selina.

Selina pressed her lips together and didn't say a word.

After waiting for a while, Erine said, "Miss Whitlock, Mr. Perry is a truly good man. Why don't you continue staying with him? He was upset every day after you left." There was a flash of astonishment in Selina's eyes.

She asked carefully, "Really?"

Was Matthew really upset every day due to her departure?

"Really," Erine stated with certainty. "When you were here, Mr. Perry would come home with a smile on his face every day. Ever since you left, he would leave early and return late each day. There was never a smile on his face."

Selina felt like something was knocking on her heart.

After thinking about it, she bitterly spat, "Hasn't he found someone new now? Why isn't he happy?"

He was already in a new relationship, so he should be very happy.

Erine was stunned.

"Someone new? Mr. Perry doesn't have anyone new," Erine replied with confidence. "Mr. Perry doesn't have any other woman besides you, Miss Whitlock." Selina's eyelashes trembled a little.

She thought that it was possible that Erine didn't know that Matthew was in a relationship with Joycelyn, as they just gotten together not long ago.

It was just that....

There was a flash of emotion in her eyes

Was Joycelyn really in a relationship with Matthew? Or was it part of her assumptions again?
