My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 1366

She didn't recognize Matthew as she was always in the manor plus she had locked herself in her room these past few days. However, Francia knew all about him.

Francia immediately lowered her voice and reprimanded her, "Don't be silly. That man is Matthew Perry, the one that is viral on the Internet. He's already married yet he had an affair with Natalie's sister-in-law." Francia clicked her tongue in disapproval. "The Whitlock family really have no shame, allowing him to have dinner here," she remarked.

Bowie didn't listen to a word Francia said.

Her entire mind was filled with the image of Matthew.

He was so handsome. Even the way he ate was elegant. It was like the prince charming from her comics had come to life.

Bowie's heart stirred.

Francia noticed the love- stuck look in Bowie's eyes.

She poked Bowie's forehead, hard. "Bowie, did you even hear anything I just said?"

Bowie was still in a daze. "Mum, he is so handsome, I've never seen anyone like him," she gushed.

Francia was exasperated. "Didn't I just tell you, he is Natalie's sister-in-law's man, snap out of it."

Bowie narrowed her eyes.

Natalie's sister-in-law's man?

She immediately puffed out her chest. "She's not woman enough compared to me," Bowie boasted.

Francia agreed with her on this. "Of course, my daughter is the most beautiful woman, no one can compare to you. You deserve to be treasured and pampered."

Bowie's confidence increased.

Natalie's sister-in-law? She could easily outshine her!

Selina and Matthew returned to her bedroom.

"Matthew, why don't we break up?" she forced out the words from her mouth.

There was only one thought in her mind when she said this.

If she broke up with Matthew, then Saoirse would be willing to issue a statement for him. Matthew wouldn't need to suffer any more criticism, both his career and company would also be saved.

She refused to be the cause of Matthew's

demise.

He had originally been the center of praise and admiration, but now because of her, he had become the scum of the society.

Matthew froze for a moment.

He stared into Selina's eyes and asked, "What did you say, Selina?"

Selina felt her throat tighten.

"Matthew, let's break up," she choked out.

Matthew immediately grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. "Selina, I don't want to hear this a second time," he warned.

Selina met his gaze. "Matthew, don't lie to me, I know how bad the situation is. If we break up, Saoirse would be willing to help you, you can go back to how it was before, and you won't need to lose your company or career,"

Matthew suddenly laughed.

Selina felt a chill down her spine.

Matthew's eyes were filled with rage. "I'm so disappointed to hear this, Selina. I've done so much for you, yet you still want to leave me. You've really disappointed me."

"I just don't want you to suffer even more," Selina said weakly.

Mattew's gaze pierced through Selina.

He then held Selina's head and pressed his lips on hers.

His kiss was rough and forceful as if punishing her for saying words that had cut him deeply.

Selina was out of breath by his kiss.

She tried to push him away but to no avail, his lips remained firmly on hers.

After some time, he finally released her.

His voice was sharp, "Selina, what do you think I'm suffering from? The attacks and the criticism? The loss of my career and reputation? All these are nothing compared to you! If I lose you, that will be a fate worse than death!"

"I held that press conference because I didn't want to lose you, I couldn't bear to see you hurt. But now you're telling me you want to break up. I won't allow this, do you hear me!" Matthew all but shouted.

Selina was silent.

"But I really can't bear to see you like this," she said sadly after a while.

Matthew's eyes darkened as he spoke, "Like what? Selina, all those things, my reputation and my glorious achievements mean nothing to me, I don't care if I lose them. Only you are the center of my world."

He pulled Selina into an embrace, his

chin resting on her head. "Selina, you really don't understand me. If you

understand me?" Matthew's voice was hoarse.

Selina felt a stab in her heart.

She had been in turmoil before, struggling to replace a way out for Matthew.

Breaking up with her was Matthew's way out.

That was what she had originally thought.

However, Matthew's reaction only proved how horribly wrong she was.

Breaking up with her was never an option.

It would even kill him.

Selina's eyes watered.

She felt guilty after she realized what she did.

She never should have said that.

Matthew had already sacrificed so much for her, she really shouldn't have asked to break up.

How pained must he have been to hear this from her.

Selina buried her head in Matthew's chest.

She sobbed, "I was wrong, Matthew, I will never ask to break up again. Please don't be angry."

Matthew patted Selina's waist. "It's fine. How can I ever be angry with you? Never in this lifetime." Selina nodded vigorously.

"Selina, I know the situation is grim, but I believe we can overcome this. We have already gone through so much together, this time it's no different. When we overcome this, we will one day look back, laugh and reminisce about this time together," Matthew comforted her.

"Are you sure?"Selina asked.

"Of course, have some trust in me, m'lady," Matthew assured her.

Selina was filled with courage.

She looked at him. "I think you should change your shirt," she told him.

Matthew raised his eyebrows questioningly.

She smiled at him sheepishly. "Just now, when I cried into your chest, my tears stained your shirt."

Matthew just looked at her.

He pinched Selina's cheek affectionately.
