My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1118

With many people around, she was probably high-strung. Having a private conversation would definitely make it a lot easier for Cecilia to calm down.

A hint of consideration flashed across her eyes.

After a moment, she stood up. "I don't think these fruits are enough for everyone to eat. I'll go to the kitchen and cut some more."

As she spoke, she looked at Matthew. "Matthew, come and help me."

Of course, they went to the kitchen not only for the fruits.

When they reached the kitchen, Matthew started the conversation. "Madam Lawson, do you remember what you said to me last time in the kitchen?"

Cecilia was slightly stunned.

There was a vague impression in her mind, but she couldn't quite recall it.

She only remembered that she was excited upon hearing the good news that Selina was going to marry Matthew. She had purposely called him to the kitchen for a chat.

Cecilia remained silent and Matthew continued, "You told me that Selina had an arrogant personality. You wanted me to promise that I would pamper Selina all my life, that no matter how headstrong she was, I had to bear with her."

Cecilia was speechless.

She finally remembered. That was true.

Thinking of this, there was a flash of guilt in Cecilia's eyes.

She shouldn't have told Matthew that back then. Selina's arrogance cannot be satisfied just by pampering. It would put Matthew in harm as well.

"It's still the same now, Madam Lawson." Matthew's eyes were wise and calm, with a sense of steadiness that was built up over years. "Since I have made you a promise, I will put it into practice. It's the same back then and now."

Cecilia's remorse deepened.

She couldn't help but say, "Matthew, I shouldn't have said that back then. You're a good person. I can't let Selina hurt you like that."

Of course, she wanted her daughter to be happy.

However, she hoped that Selina wouldn't ruin anyone's life.

"How do you know that Selina would harm me,

Madam Lawson?" Matthew asked in reply.

Cecilia gave a wry smile. "I know my daughter well, Matthew. I will tell you the truth. There is another man in Selina's heart. He and Selina had a long relationship for many years, and she won't forget him. Even if you two get married again, Selina won't be able to remove him from her heart. When the time comes, your marriage will be in trouble. That's why, Matthew, you should stop the damage now before it's too late."

Matthew's eyes became more and more profound, as if they were the boundless sea.

He used to think that too, that Selina would be entangled with Dylan for the rest of her life.

However, he no longer thought so.

He saw how Selina's eyes would shine when they looked at him now.

It was the kind of gaze that could only be seen when she saw the person she liked.

He didn't think that Dylan was still in her heart.

However, he knew that he couldn't tell Cecilia that, as it was impossible to convince her with just a few words.

Just like how Selina had talked to Natalie for so long earlier, but still failed to persuade Natalie.

After some moment of thought, Matthew continued, "Madam Lawson, you should know the saying that one man's trash is another man's treasure. You might feel that the two of us getting remarried is useless, but I'm happy with it. Isn't that enough?"

Cecilia was shaken up.

She looked at Matthew in shock.

He looked at her as well.

His eyes were clear. All his thoughts were unconcealed.

At that moment, Cecilia suddenly understood everything.

That was right, one man's trash was another man's treasure.

Why were there so many people that didn't even fear even when it was right in front of them? It was because other people could see that it was death, but those involved would see it as a gateway to heaven.

She shouldn't think about it from her perspective.
