My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1097

It turned out that Stryker's girlfriend had seen him helping a female colleague that was moving to a new house.

They were only friends, but his girlfriend accused him of cheating.

His girlfriend not only threw a tantrum and yelled that she wanted to break up with him, but also beat him up.

"Mr. Perry, my girlfriend is really unreasonable nowadays. She can't even stand to see me being slightly closer with another woman, despite the fact that there's nothing between us. She almost lost her mind over it."

Matthew was helpless upon hearing this.

"She probably just gets jealous easily. You don't have to think too much," Matthew replied.

Stryker sighed. "You're right, she gets jealous easily, way too easily."

After Stryker left, Matthew started going through the documents on his desk. He was just flipping through the first document when he suddenly froze halfway.

Stryker's girlfriend had gotten jealous easily...

However, what was the reason?

Matthew's breathing quickened.

Selina's reaction that morning... Could it be that it was just because of Joycelyn?

Later that evening, Matthew returned to the villa slightly earlier than usual.

Peter was in the garden looking after the vegetables, which were growing well, whereas Selina was sitting on one side with a lifeless expression.

Karma. This was indeed her karma!

Selina seriously just wanted to cry.

This garden was a result of her trying to make things difficult for Matthew, yet it ended up making things difficult for her instead.

Peter was completely captivated by this vegetable garden. He would spend every single day in it, and would even drag Selina along.

Peter had been in the garden when Selina woke up from her nap. He wouldn't stop showing off the well grown vegetables to Selina. She was already drowsy from hearing his praise.

Worst of all, she couldn't leave the place. She could only stay there and listen to Peter.

Thus, upon spotting Matthew, Selina was delighted.

Her eyes suddenly lit up as she said, "Grandpa, Matthew is back!"

It wasn't until then that Peter's attention was finally diverted from the vegetables.

"Matthew, you're back." Peter glanced over at Matthew.

In summer, daytime was much longer than the nights. It was still sunset when Matthew returned home.

Matthew was walking in the sunset, which made him look even more attractive.

"Matthew, take a look at how well the vegetables are growing, especially this radish. It looks tasty already." Peter started going on about the vegetables again.

Selina sighed helplessly.

She thought that Matthew's arrival could stop Peter, yet he was still the same.

"Grandpa, if you don't mind, I can prepare our dinner tonight with these vegetables." Matthew smiled. "I'll make your dinner myself."

Peter's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Of course," Matthew affirmed.

Peter then pointed at a radish in the vegetable garden and said, "I want this one, then."

Matthew bent down and began to harvest the radish.

Selina's gaze fell on Matthew. The way he bent down was elegant and beautiful. The warm sunshine covered his body and delicate hair. It felt like the most beautiful drawing that Selina had ever seen.

Selina could feel her heart speed up.

After a while, Matthew straightened up and looked at Selina. With a smile, he said, "Selina, would you like to help me in the kitchen?"

Selina was dazzled by Matthew's smile.

After a pause, she came back to her senses.

"Of course I would," Selina replied.

The two of them then went to the kitchen.

Matthew was chopping the vegetables whereas Selina was washing the vegetables.

The kitchen was quiet. Only the chopping and washing of vegetables could be heard.

Selina went into a momentary daze.

They looked like an ordinary couple, busy preparing a meal in their kitchen.

Selina halted for a second and let the water flow across her hand.

"Selina?" She heard Matthew calling her.
