My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1268

Matthew was looking at a photo of Selina.

Matthew had secretly taken the photo while she was not looking.

Selina's emotions rushed forth to overwhelm her. "Why didn't you tell me you were looking at a photo of me?"

Matthew did not speak.

She stared into Matthew's eyes. "It's so late. Why are you looking at a photo of me instead of sleeping?"

Matthew was silent for a moment. "Selina, I missed you."

These words almost made Selina burst into tears.

She rubbed her slightly stuffy nose. "If you missed me that much, why didn't you call me or ask me to come and visit you? Why do you have to look at a photo of me?"

Matthew suppressed the emotions in his eyes.

Suddenly, Matthew stretched his arms outwards and Selina rushed into his embrace.

Matthew held her in his arms tightly.

The man's muffled and hoarse voice sounded above her head. "Selina, I didn't know what to say to you over the phone since I owe you too much. Besides, I'm troubled by the current situation too. I thought I could only look at a photo of you to quell my yearning."

The bitterness in Matthew's tone was evident as his voice reverberated through Selina's scalp, before it went into Selina's ears and then into her heart.

She bit her lip and said, "Tell me, how could something like this happen? Is God deliberately torturing us?"

Matthew did not speak.

His grip on Selina's waist became tighter.

The man's big palms were burning hot, and the heat spread through the thin fabric of his clothes and into Selina's body.

She raised her head to look into Matthew's deep eyes. "Listen, Matthew. My brother told me that he and Natalie experienced a lot of hardships before they really got together. Although we've already been through enough trouble, I think we're stil better off than my brother and Natalie. We can make it through this, right?"

Her eyes glowed with hope.

The glow made energy gush through Matthew's heart.

"Yes, well make it," he said in a low voice.

A smile appeared on Selina's lips.

"I'll stay with you here tonight. Having the real deal in your arms will be way better than looking at photos on a phone," Selina deliberately said in a relaxed tone.

Matthew hesitated for a moment. "Selina, I don't want to make you feel aggrieved."

"You won't. As long as I'm with you, I won't feel that way."

These words startled Matthew.

He could no longer restrain his emotions. With a hand on the back of Selina's head, he met Selina's lips with his own.

Selina did not object and met Matthew's actions entirely.

This was a kiss without any lust.

Matthew's movements were very gentle, he was being extremely careful.

After that, Matthew held Selina's face and said, "Young lady, Let's go to sleep. We should rest earlier."

Selina nodded in reply.

Matthew's room was a VIP ward, which meant that it had a bigger bed. Therefore, it was not a problem for them to sleep together.

After lying on the bed, Matthew embraced Selina.

Selina could distinctly feel the man's masculine body and his burning body heat.

She snuggled into Matthew's arms.

Matthew tightened his embrace around her in response.

"Matthew, do you think Saoirse will agree to leave? Will she return to where she's from after she leaves the hospital?" A long moment later, Selina suddenly asked as she was still awake.

Matthew was not asleep yet though his eyes were closed.

After Selina asked this question, Matthew immediately opened his eyes.

In the dark night, the man's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, which soon merged with the dark night.

"She will, it is just a matter of the effort put in. Selina, I promise you, it's just a matter of time." The man's tone was low yet compelling.

Having received a positive reply, Selina's heart calmed down a little.

"Rest soon."
