My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1098

While Matthew was still in a daze, Selina grabbed the opportunity and pushed him away.

"I'm heading outside. You... You can do what you need to," Selina spluttered as she fled the kitchen.

When she went to the living room, her cheeks were still flushed, and her heartbeat was still as rapid.

Peter was watching TV in the living room. Right then, his gaze fell on Selina.

Peter laughed after taking in her expression.

He stroked his white beard and sighed, "You two are so lovey-dovey."

It wasn't until she heard his voice did Selina notice Peter was in the living room.

She tried her best to regain her composure.

Peter continued, "You can't even stop messing around while making dinner."

Selina was taken aback.

Her cheeks turned even redder as she said, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you on about?"

Peter pointed at his own cheeks. "Nonsense? Just take a look at your cheeks! Would you look like this if you hadn't messed around?"

Selina did not respond.

Selina then protested, "I'm only like this because the kitchen is too hot."

Peter said pointedly, "You know what really happened in there."

"Grandpa!" Selina sat on one side. "I refuse to talk to you anymore."

She sounded embarrassed.

Peter smiled and didn't say anything else.

After a while, Matthew walked out.

He served a few dishes to the dining table.

Since the main ingredients used were the vegetables from the garden, it was a vegetarian meal.

Peter was so impressed with Matthew's cooking that he couldn't stop his praises.

He even deliberately gave Selina a glance before saying, "Selina, why are you not praising Matthew for these amazing dishes?!"

Selina didn't know what to say.

She had been trying to avoid looking at Matthew ever since he walked out from the kitchen. Her mind was still a mess.

Now that Peter had called her out, Selina could only force herself to say, "Yeah, it tastes amazing." "Really?" Matthew asked in a clear tone.

"Yes," Selina replied, her throat a little dry.

"You brat, you should look at Matthew when you're talking!" Peter began to nag once more.

Selina was speechless.

She took a deep breath and then looked at Matthew. "It tastes amazing."

Matthew was also looking at her.

His gaze was like a deep pool, like a clear spring, like shining stars in the sky.

Selina was nearly unable to pull herself away.

She was in a daze for a while.

Matthew captured this clearly.

His heart throbbed.

Was he being delusional, or did Selina really have feelings for him?

That night, Peter went to bed early.

Selina wanted to escape back to her bedroom, but Matthew called out to her.

"I've made dessert, don't you want some before going to sleep?" Matthew asked.

Selina's state of mind was too chaotic to have dessert.

She immediately refused. "No, I'm sleepy."

She was about to leave when Matthew stepped forward and blocked her path.

He said in a low voice, "I made dessert just for you. Erine mentioned that it was your favorite. Don't you want to have a try?"

Selina didn't know what else to say.

She could only surrender. "Fine then."

Selina headed back to the dining room with Matthew following behind her.

She had her dessert while Matthew sat right across from her.

The dessert tasted amazing, with the ingredients complementing each other.
