My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1004

Selina was surprised to see Lothar here.

"Oh, it's you, Lothar!" Selina said. She continued, "Why are you here?"

People would usually bring along their pets when they visited Pet Home. However, Lothar was alone.

Lothar scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "I was just thinking of buying some food for Rocky when I happened to pass by this store."

Selina was even more surprised.

She didn't expect Lothar to be so kind.

"Oh, you don't have to buy anything for Rocky. I'll buy anything it needs," Selina said.

Lothar smiled.

He wanted to say something before he was struck by a realization.

"What's wrong?"

Lothar asked carefully, "Were you crying?"

Selina was stunned.

She pretended to say in a casual tone, trying hard to conceal the truth, "What are you talking about? I haven't been crying."

Lothar pointed at Selina's eyes and said, "Your eyes are still red and puffy. How dare you deny it."

Selina bit her lip.

She had cried so badly just now that her eyes were still red and puffy even though a long time had passed.

She was about to tell Lothar that her eyes were irritated by dust. Unexpectedly, Lothar grabbed hold of her hand.

She was stunned.

She freed her hand from Lothar's grip and said unhappily, "What are you doing!"

Lothar glanced at Selina's hand and said, "Don't think too much about it. I'm not trying to take advantage of you. You're so ugly. I feel that you're the one who is taking advantage of me instead when I hold your hand."

Selina was speechless.

She stared at Lothar without saying anything.

"Follow me, I'll take you someplace."

"What sort of place?"

"Just come with me," Lothar said with a mysterious look.

He brought Selina to a coffee shop and ordered six cups of it. He even ordered the largest size for each cup. The sight of all six of them arranged in a row was truly magnificent.

"Why did you buy so many cups of coffee?" Selina frowned and asked.

"For us to drink."

"Are you a hippopotamus that you need so much water to survive?"

Lothar said seriously, "I would like to compete with you. Each of us has to drink three cups of coffee. Whoever finishes their drinks first wins."

Selina was speechless. She said, "I'm not going to play such a pointless game with you."

Lothar said mysteriously, "Well, I'll tell you a secret if you win this competition."

"What is it about?"

"It's a secret way to alleviate your sadness."

Selina was stunned for a moment.

She thought, 'A secret way to alleviate sadness?'

'Does it really work?'

"I'm serious," Lothar said sincerely.

Looking at Lothar's solemn expression, Selina changed her mind.

She thought she'd give it a try.

After all, she had nothing to lose.

The competition began. Lothar drank the coffee quickly. As for Selina, she mustered all her energy to drink everything as fast as she could. In the end, she won by a slim margin.

Selina sat on the chair, gasping for breath. Her stomach was full.

This was the first time she had drunk so much coffee in just a few minutes. She felt as if her stomach was about to burst.

"You're amazing!" Lothar gave Selina a thumbs up.
