My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1212

Selina stared at the pendant for a few seconds before she came to her senses.

Shocked, she asked, "Mom, did you ask to meet Dylan today?"

Cecilia nodded.

"Why did you do that? !" Selina exclaimed in dismay.

Cecilia sighed, "I was afraid that you were just playing around with Matthew, so I met Dylan to confirm it."

Selina bit her lip and continued, "Playing around? I've told you so many times that I am serious with Matthew. You'll only mislead Dylan by asking him to meet you!"

After all she went through to make things clear with Dylan, now her mother had to go and complicate things. She was afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding between her and Dylan.

Besides, she really did not want to hurt Dylan further. Compared to the trouble she might face, she was more reluctant to cause Dylan even more pain.

Cecilia understood immediately her daughter's concerns.

Cecilia patted Selina's shoulder calmly. "Don't get too worked up. Dylan didn't think too much about it. He confirmed with me that your breakup was final and he wished you and Matthew well. On the contrary, he even asked me to approve your marriage."

Selina was surprised.

Her eyes welled up with emotion.

"Is that so? " Selina murmured.

"Yes, its true." Cecilia added, "Dylan successfully convinced me that your relationship with Matthew is genuine. If it wasn't for his words, I really wouldn't have believed that you moved on from him."

Selina took a deep breath.

"Mom, I'm a little upset. Can you please give me some privacy?"

Cecilia stood up. "Sure.Take some time to calm yourself down. I'll call Matthew to invite him over for dinner tonight."

Selina nodded wordlessly.

After Cecilia left the room, Selina stared absent- mindedly at the pendant in her hand.

Although Selina loved Matthew with all her heart, Dylan was still her first love and they had many sweet memories together.

lt is impossible to be completely unaffected by Dylan's gesture.

When Matthew arrived at the Whitlock family home that night, Selina appeared to be preoccupied.

Cecilia noticed Selina's unusual behaviour.

She knew that it was because of her meeting with Dylan today.

However, she did not regret it.

The pendant was just a test. If Selina had truly moved on from Dylan, she should be unruffled by the gift.

Such a small matter should not cause any alarm to their relationship.

That was the reason why she'd handed the pendant to Selina and told her everything about her meeting with Dylan. She wanted to see how Selina would react.

If they manage to pass the test, she would give them her blessing and approval.

Matthew also sensed that something was wrong with Selina.

Keeping it to himself, he served Selina and waited on her lovingly.

After dinner, Matthew and Selina took their leave to return to the Perry family villa.

During the journey, Selina was silent, lost in her thoughts.

Matthew peeked at her with concern from the corner of his eyes while driving.

When they arrived at a large square, Matthew suddenly stopped the car.

Selina glanced at Matthew in confusion. "We haven't arrived yet."

Matthew coaxed gently, "Come on, let's go for a walk."

"Oh, okay." Selina replied.

She was not really in the mood for a walk, but she didn't mind accompanying Matthew since he mentioned it.

Selina got out of the car and walked around with Matthew.

There were many stalls selling helium balloons to children playing in the square.

Matthew went over and bought all the helium balloons available for sale.

Selina was bemused. "Hayden's not here. Why did you buy so many balloons?"
