My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) -
Chapter 925
The interior design of the Perry family villa was black and white. Why would there be something in pink? Matthew did not seem like someone who would use pink for his house. Driven by curiosity, Selina could no longer hold back her urge to discover more.
She went downstairs to look for Prine to ask her about the key to the door. However, Selina was more surprised when she learnt that Prine didn't have it as well.
"Prine, why don't you have the key to the door? Aren't you the one in charge of cleanliness here?" Selina asked and continued, "Doesn't that room need cleaning?"
Prine shook her head and said, "I have access to all places in this villa, but I'm not allowed to go into that room. It's used specially by Master Perry to store things which I have no idea about. The key is with him and normally he would be the one to clean the room."
Selina's eyes widened.
Could there be priceless treasure being stored inside the room? Why would Matthew have to be so secretive?
But that didn't make sense either because Matthew was filthy rich, so there was no need to be so careful about any precious items. Besides, if there was really something priceless inside, wouldn't it be safer to put it in a foreign warehouse? Why keep it at home?
"Actually, I'm also very curious to know what's inside," said Brine with a chuckle. "Perhaps you can try asking him for the keys. He would probably give them to you."
Just when Selina was about to respond, she heard the ringtone from a cell phone.
It was her cell phone.
Selina's body froze the moment she saw the cell phone's screen - it was a call from Caroline.
She hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
"Caroline," Selina said, feeling rather bad.
"Selina." Caroline's voice sounded calm without any trace of emotion. "I'm at a cafe at Central Street right now. I'll be waiting for you."
Caroline hung up the phone immediately after that.
Selina was stunned for a few seconds.
"Erine, I'm heading out first," said Selina and left hurriedly.
At this moment, all of her thoughts were on Caroline, so the issue of the pink door just slipped to the back of her mind.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the cafe, Selina stood there for a long time.
She did not have the courage.
She did not have the courage to enter.
In the end, it was the waiter who felt a little strange to see Selina standing there.
The waiter came up and asked, "Miss, do you wish to come in?"
Since the waiter in front of her had already asked, Selina had no choice but to walk in.
From a distance, she could see Caroline sitting at a table.
She was wearing a bright red dress with her makeup on point. She sat there with her back straight.
Selina walked over and pulled out a chair.
"Caroline." She lowered her head, not daring to look her in the eyes.
"Selina, you don't dare to look me in the eyes? You've been so daring since young that even the senior boys in school didn't even dare to offend you. And now you don't even have the guts to look at me?" Caroline said coldly.
Selina's breathing froze for a moment.
A moment later, she raised her head and gazed at Caroline, saying, "Caroline, let me explain."
With a superficial smile but sharp gaze, Caroline said, "Explanation or no explanation, let's not talk about it first." She then paused and raised her voice, "Waiter, serve the coffee please."
A moment later, the waiter came over with two cups of coffee.
Caroline took a sip of coffee and handed the cup she had just drank to Selina, asking, "Selina, would you like coffee that's been drunk before?"
Selina was stunned.
Caroline stared at Selina and said, "So do you understand my feelings now?"
Biting her lips hard, Selina said, "Caroline..."
"Selina!" Caroline cut Selina off right away and continued, "Do you still remember the time when you were in middle school, when a boy wrote you a love letter, but you put it into another boy's drawer? The whole thing spread like wildfire in the school which resulted in the writer being ridiculed as a faggot. He was totally embarrassed by it. Do you still remember this?"
Selina's breathing paused.
Caroline then stared at Selina with a strange expression in her eyes. "I bet you don't know about this. How could you, Miss Whitlock, care about other people's feelings? You don't even know that the boy was so severely affected by this that he became withdrawn. He still hasn't gotten married and doesn't dare to have any contact with women!"
Selina felt her blood circulation seemed to have stopped abruptly. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Caroline laughed sarcastically and said, "That's because I treated you, Selina, as my good friend. I didn't want you to be sad because if you had known that your past action had ruined someone's life, then you would've been really sad."
Selina bit her lip so hard that her lower lip was almost bleeding.
"I'll make it up to him," Selina murmured after a moment.
"Make it up to him?" Caroline's tone sounded even more sarcastic. "Back then, those who studied at school were mostly nobility. None of them are short of money. What's more, can emotional trauma be fixed using money?"
Selina felt her whole body getting a little cold.
She murmured, "Caroline, I really didn't know back then that things would turn out this bad, I just thought it was fun..."
"Fun?!" Caroline raised her voice and chided, "Just because it was fun, you had to introduce Matthew to me, right? So that I could satisfy your fetishes? You replace it interesting to see me now in pain, right?"
"Of course not!" Selina raised her head instantly. "At that point of time I really wanted to introduce you to Matthew. I really had nothing to do with Matthew back then. It's true, trust me!"
"As if I could trust you!" Caroline
sounded even more acerbic as she
said, "What did you tell me when you
called while was in the United
States? You said that there was absolutely no problem with it. But after coming here and meeting Matthew for only once, you told me he opposite. Just how long was
there from the time of me meeting Matthew for the first time until now? Don't tell me that within such a short span of time, you managed to proceed from no relationship to now being his wife!"
"Caroline..." Selina's eyes seemed to be teary.
How was she going to explain this whole thing to Caroline? How to explain to her the complications within?
"Selina, do you still remember when
we were in 9th grade, and a senior
wrote me a love letter behind his girlfriend's back? He was caught red-handed by her and the girl
insisted that I was the one who net
seduced her guy. She gave me a slap before the whole class. Do you still remember what I did in return?" Caroline's eyes shimmered as she continued, "I gave her ten slaps in return!"
Caroline's voice rose further as she said, "So Selina, you messed with the wrong person. I, Caroline Yethan, am not someone you can easily mess with. The reason I'm asking you out today to let you know tha we are no longer friends, and that I am not leaving anymore!"
Caroline then stood up and looked down her nose at Selina, "I'm no longer planning to leave all because of you, Selina. I will stay here and return to you the pain which you have caused!"
