My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1217

Matthew stood up. "Sorry, I need to take this call."

"Sure, I'll wait for you," Saoirse answered with a smile.

Matthew went to a corner and answered the phone.

His fingertips were trembling for no reason.

"Matthew, guess why I called." Selina sounded mischievous.

"Selina. Is it anything urgent?" Matthew did not play along with Selina.

Selina could tell that Matthew was not in the mood to entertain her antics.

She stopped playing around and said, "I'll bring you lunch at noon, okay?"

It had been a long time since she brought a lunchbox for Matthew. Erine had taught her some dishes that day and she couldn't wait to share them with Matthew.

Matthew lowered his voice. "It's okay, Selina. Don't trouble yourself."

"I don't mind bringing lunch to your office. I have nothing to do anyway." "Please, Selina. There's no need to." Matthew's voice was rough.

"Matthew, what's wrong?" Selina asked carefully.

"Nothing." Matthew adjusted his tone. "I have to hang up now, I'll talk to you later."

Selina was a little crestfallen by Matthew's words.

But soon she cheered up.

Maybe Matthew was just busy with work.

"Alright, I'll wait for you tonight." With that, she hung up.

Hearing the beeping tone, Matthew was silent for a few minutes. He turned and walked back to the dining table.

Saoirsewas waiting patiently for him with a faint smile on her lips.

"William. You're back." Saoirse's eyes searched his face.

An apologetic look appeared in Matthew's eyes. "Saoirse, I'm sorry. I can't give you an answer right now."

Saoirse was taken aback.

"Why is that?" She asked.

Matthew could not tell her the truth.

He said in a low voice. "My thoughts are a little muddled. Please give me some time to sort them

out."

Saoirse was understanding. "It's okay, William. You haven't seen me in such a long time, naturally you're confused. I'll wait for your answer."

"Where do you live now? " Matthew changed the subject.

"I rented a luxurious villa in Agaphen City." Saoirse looked at Matthew expectantly.

Matthew understood what she wanted from him.

Regardless, he could only turn a blind eye.

He stood up and said. "Saoirse, please give me more time. I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

Saoirse was somewhat upset.

However she still managed to squeeze out a smile. "Okay, You can take your time to consider it."

Matthew sent Saoirse and Liselle back to their villa.

"William, do you want to come in for a drink?" Saoirse invited Matthew.

"It's okay, I need to go home soon." Matthew refused.

A look of disappointment appeared on Saoirse's face.

After Matthew left, Liselle could not help asking, "Miss Saoirse, why is Mr. William acting like that? He didn't invite you to go to his place nor accept our invitation to stay. Who does he think he is?"

There was a hint of sadness in Saoirse's eyes. "I think he still hasn't fallen in love with me."

"How is that possible?" Liselle retorted. "Miss Saoirse, you're so beautiful. How could he not fall in love with you?"

Saoirse laughed bitterly, " William is not an ordinary man, he is different from others. He is not obsessed with a woman's looks or appearance."

Liselle argued, "But you are husband and wife."

Saoirse sighed. "At that time, he had no choice but to agree to our marriage. My father was going to execute him and he was seriously injured. After he recovered from his injuries, he immediately requested to return to Glevania. It's obvious he did not think of me as his wife."

As she spoke, Saoirse lowered her eyes.

She could not bear to tell Liselle.
