My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1066

"Selina, I'm at the door. Come out for a while." She heard his magnetic voice through the phone.

"Okay." Selina hung up quickly.

She practically dashed out. When she reached the living room door, she wondered what she was so excited about.

She slowed her footsteps.

Although her pace had slowed, her heart was still anxious.

When she saw that Matthew's car was parked at the gate of the villa, her heart beat faster.

She walked to the side of the car.

Matthew rolled down the window and handed her a thermos. "This is for you."

Selina accepted it.

There was a slight heat emanating from the thermos.

"What's this?" she asked in confusion.

"The baby cabbages at home have grown well. Erine said that you like to eat cabbage soup, so she specially asked me to give it to you," Matthew explained.

All of a sudden, Selina's heart made a tremor.

She could not help but ask, "Erine was the one who wanted you to send me this?"

"Yes."

"So Erine gave you specific instructions?"

Matthew's brows furrowed slightly. He could tell that Selina's emotions were a little off.

However, he soon figured it out.

Selina might be probing him like this because she thought it was a gift from Matthew, and that she definitely would not accept it if that were the case.

Matthew's eyes shone with bitterness.

He said in a harsh tone, "Yes, Erine specifically told me to give it to you, so I drove here at the crack of dawn."

Selina suddenly felt that the thermos, which had initially been a little warm, had turned ice cold.

It was so cold that she felt a sharp pain in her palm.

"Oh," Selina replied. "Then I'll be going."

She looked lifeless.

Selina went straight to the study.

She opened the thermos, which contained her favourite cabbage soup. That was Erine's specialty.

Selina tasted it, and it was fresh to the core. The taste had not changed even though it had been in a thermos.

She finished it in an instant.

After she was done eating, she kept feeling as if there were ants crawling all over her heart. There was something making her feel uneasy.

Finally, Selina made a call to Erine.

Erine was very excited to receive that call.

She kept asking whether the food that had been personally sent by Matthew tasted good or not and things like that.

After they exchanged a few words, Selina suddenly changed the topic. "Erine, Matthew said that the vegetable garden is growing well. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true." Erine became even more excited when she mentioned the vegetable garden. "Miss Whitlock, it hasn't been long since you left. In the blink of an eye, a lot of vegetables grew. These vegetables grow so fast."

Selina grew increasingly restless.

She really wanted to go and have a look at how the vegetable garden had become. The vegetable garden existed only because of her mischief, after all.

However, she was embarrassed and unable to say it.

Fortunately, Erine spoke for her. "Miss Whitlock, why don't you come and have a look? You haven't come back since you left."

Selina agreed at once.

She was afraid that Erine would sense something, so she added, "I'm just coming to see the vegetable garden. There's no other meaning to it."

After hanging up, Erine quickly called Matthew's number.

"Miss Whitlock called me just now, Mr. Perry." Erine's face was filled with joy.

"Okay."

Matthew did not express much surprise. After all, he had told Selina that morning that Erine had specially made that food for her. It was not shocking that Selina had called to express her gratitude.

"Miss Whitlock also said that she would come to the Perry family house today!" Erine said in a louder voice.

On the other end of the line, Matthew's breath stopped.

"She's coming to the house?" Matthew's voice was full of uncertainty.

"Yes," Erine said with certainty. "Right at dinnertime, because I want Miss Whitlock to come over for dinner."
