My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1878

"Mr. Hawls, please try your best to persuade His Excellency to agree to the political marriage with Princess Navidia before Megeland's president visits."

Sheldon was speechless.

Why was this his job?

Why should he be the one to convince Tremaine?!

With that, Sheldon said, "Mr. Welmert, why do you need me to do the persuading?"

"Because you are the closest person to His Excellency."

Sheldon said, "Mr. Welmert, you're a Nashsaland's senior statesman, and you have watched His Excellency grow up. I think His Excellency would be more willing to listen to you, so why don't you persuade His Excellency?"

Hogan said, "Of course, I will do my part. But Mr. Hawls, it would be better if we cooperate for the sake of Nashaland and its people. We must convince His Excellency."

Sheldon did not know what to say.

It was too heavy a responsibility for him.

After a moment, he responded, "Have you never

considered retirement at this age?"

Only then did he understand why Tremaine hated dealing with Hogan.

It was because Hogan liked pushing responsibilities to others and giving them pressure.

Hogan sounded ambitious over the call. "Mr. Hawls, how could I retire now? I swore to serve Nashaland until my last breath. Even if I am on the verge of dying, I will fulfill my duty to repay all the ancestors that built our land."

Sheldon felt like he had a headache coming.

He sat on the sofa, troubled after hanging up the call with Hogan.

He did not notice that there was a crack in the door of his bedroom.

Preslie had been eavesdropping as she stared at Sheldon.

She had heard him pick up the call, and from his conversation, she heard something about His Excellency, Navidia, the president of Megeland, and marriage of state.

Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.

This led to her thinking that something bad was going to happen.

After waiting for some time, she pushed the door

and walked in.

"Mr. Hawls, were you on the phone?"

Sheldon's mind was in a mess, and so he said yes without knowing it.

"I think I hear you saying something about the president of Megeland. Is he visiting?" she asked nervously.

He said, "Yes, he'll be here to propose a marriage of state."

All of a sudden, Preslie's eyes widened.

At this time, Sheldon also found that he had let the cat out of the bag.

He felt the pressure on his temples growing.

How could he say this to her?

Preslie's way of thought was the same as her best friend's. If she told Yesseca about this, a disaster would happen.

Meanwhile, Preslie was getting emotional. "For a marriage of state? Does that mean His Excellency is going to marry Navidia? What about Yesseca?"

Sheldon fell silent.

While looking at her nervous face, a glimmer of hope sparkled in his eyes.

He suddenly thought of a way.

With that, he stood up.

And he approached her.

Stunned, she stood still.

She was nervous to see a man coming closer to her.

Subconsciously, she took a step back, but he stepped closer to her. It continued until her back was against the wall.

She looked at him, asking meekly, "W-What are you doing?"

However, he didn't answer her as he stared at her.

She felt her mouth go dry.

Suddenly, she remembered the plot she saw in the movie.

It was a scene of a man and a woman left in a room. At midnight, the man turned into a beast and jumped at the woman.

Was Sheldon going to do something like that too?

Preslie said nervously, "Please be rational."

But he said nothing.

He narrowed his eyes.

He did not expect her to be smarter than he had thought. She had already guessed his thoughts before he said anything.

He said in a low voice, "I have a thought, and I need your help with it."
