My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 1252

It was the woman who had barged into the villa previously.

Saoirse's neck stiffened at this sight.

It took a lot of effort for her to look at Matthew as if it was nothing.

She asked, "William, what is the meaning of this?"

Matthew's gaze then fell on to Saoirse's beautiful face. It was a look full of certainty, guilt, and all other kinds of emotions mixed together, "Saoirse, I first met her many years ago, even before I had even known you. It was at a ball and she was dancing in a brilliant red gown. She was beautiful and dazzling. I fell in love with her at first sight."

"Unfortunately, she rejected me when I professed my love for her. Later on, I went to Germany to attend to my father's affairs. And in that half a year, I went through many unimaginable obstacles, going through gunfire, even almost losing my life. Later down the road, I met you. Saoirse, you saved me. However, for a long time after you rescued me, my consciousness was always blurred. I often lost consciousness and didn't even know where I was. I know saying this will bring you pain, but Saoirse, even though I married you, it was never due to my own wishes." "After that, I finally woke up from a daze. However, during my flight back to my home country, I had to jump out of the plane due to the plane's technical difficulties. In that twist of events, I suffered from amnesia and lost memories of you completely. After some time, I met Selina again and I started pursuing her once more. Then she finally accepted my feelings for her. Saoirse, I was so delighted by this that I was planning to marry her before you arrived..." Somehow, Matthew couldn't continue.

It was evident to him that Saoirse's face had turned pale at his words.

A deep sense of pain flickered in his eyes as he added, "Saoirse, I love her. I love the woman in these paintings. I have loved her for many years now, and that won't change for the rest of this lifetime. Nevertheless, I am indebted to you as well..."

Matthew stopped for a moment and suddenly took out a gun.

This frightened Saoirse.

She looked at Matthew in shock.

Matthew put the gun into her hands. He then looked at her without hesitation, "Saoirse, I owe you my life. If it wasn't for you back then, I would have died in Germany. I'm sorry. I really can't return your feelings. If you really want some form of payback from me, then I'll return my life to you."

Saoirse's hand was shaking terribly as she held the gun.

In a trembling voice, she questioned him, "William, is this what you really want?"

Matthew's lips were pressed tightly together.

He did not answer her.

Yet his silence was an answer to her.

Erine rushed over to the Whitlock family's villa.

She told the servants of the Whitlock family that she was looking for Selina.

With that, the maids went to notify Selina.

Selina was lying on the bed at that moment, staring blankly at the ceiling.

There was a huge crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling.

Selina stared at it soullessly.

Suddenly, a servant entered and notified her that an old woman was looking for her.

Selina couldn't figure out who it was hence she followed the servant downstairs.

Once she entered the living room, she saw a helpless Erine alone.

"Erine, why are you here?" Selina asked in astonishment, "How did you even replace this place?"

Erine quickly walked over to Selina and said, "Miss Whitlock, that's not important right now. Please come back with me now. Something serious has happened back home!"

Matthew had already taken that woman up to the second floor. If something were to have happened, then everything would be over.

Selina's face fell the moment she heard the news.

"I won't go. If you are here to make me go, then save your breath."

Erine was shaking with anxiety, "Miss Whitlock, did you quarrel with Mr. Perry again? You haven't returned for days."

Selina remained silent.

"Regardless of whether or not you've both quarreled, it would be best if you come home with me. Miss Whitlock, I came here to look for you in person. Something very bad is really going to happen. Please follow me back."

Selina stared at Erine, and said in a firm tone, "Erine, I have already said that I won't go to the Perry family villa, and that's final. Please stop this." "Miss Whitlock, are you sure about this?"

Selina did not show the slightest doubt, "I will not H go.

Erine stamped her feet in a fit of anxiety.

With how things were transpiring at this point, she could not keep this secret any longer.

"Miss Selina, I am not lying when I say that woman has not only entered the home but also the second floor! I am really worried that something big is going to happen!"

Erine did not dare to say that it was Matthew who took Saoirse to the second floor.

Selina began to tremble all over.

Saoirse had went into the bedroom.

Selina clenched her fists tightly at this thought.

With much difficulty, Selina hissed, "Let them do as they please."

Erine never expect that Selina would refuse to go back with her despite the groundbreaking news she had just reported.

She was so troubled that her voice went into a higher pitch, "Miss Whitlock, I'm begging you. Please come back with me. This is not a simple matter. Even if you and Mr. Perry had quarreled, you still can't just neglect everything!"

Erine's cries were so loud that even Cecilia, who was playing with the baby in the nursery, had heard and came down.

Cecilia's gaze fell straight on Erine, and found her a little familiar.

Cecilia thus asked, "And who is this?"

When Selina noticed Cecilia's arrival, her heart froze slightly.

She quickly replied, "Mom, this is the servant from the Perry family, Erine. She has come to have a talk with me."

She didn't disclose the entire fiasco

with Matthew to Cecilia. That was part of the decision that both her and Tobias had collectively made after their discussion as they feared that Cecilia would not be able to withstand the blow.

Only then did Cecilia recall who Erine was.

She had gone to the Perry family's villa for dinner and met Erine at that time.

A gentle smile appeared on Cecilia's

lips as she greeted her, "Erine, it's so

nice to see you again. Since you are here for achat, then please take a seat. Don't just stand there. I'll get someone to bring over a tray of

some

fruits. You two can talk overt

snacks."

However, Erine was in no mood for tea and chatting. She was so disturbed by the way things were currently turning out that she was about to go mad.

Erine hastily asked, "Are you Miss Whitlock's mother? Please persuade her to go back to the Perry family villa with me."

Cecilia was stunned by her request.

A small voice in Selina's heart warned her that things were not going well.

Meanwhile, Cecilia had casted an unamused look at Selina, "I knew that you were throwing a tantrum. Matthew is so devoted to you, yet you always trust your insecurities instead. And now even the servants from the Perry family's household are begging you to go back!"

Selina couldn't stop herself and said, "Mom, it's not what you think."

"No!" Cecilia's voice turned stern, "I've told you this a long time ago. Don't create any trouble! But you just don't listen! What do I have to say to make you listen?"

Selina bit her lip as she found Cecilia's scolding frustrating.

Cecilia then directed her attention back to Erine, "I'll instruct Selina to go back to the Perry family's villa right now. Besides, she will be married to Matthew, so she should naturally move in with him."

At this moment, Erine was not in the right mind to think about anything else. Once she heard that Cecilia wanted Selina to return to the Perry family's household, she quickly nodded in agreement. Cecelia thus ordered, "Selina, go along with her now."

Selina bit down on her lip harder when she heard Cecilia's words.

"Mom, sometimes I really think I was adopted!" With that, Selina strode out the door with Prine chasing after her.
