My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 843

Not to mention, if she actually ran away, then Matthew would really think that there was something suspicious.

Thinking about this, Selina steeled herself and said, "Matthew! What a coincidence. We came to the bathroom together. Really, what a coincidence."

After saying that, Selina wanted to slap herself.

She was too nervous. What in the world was she saying, talking about how it was a coincidence that they came to the bathroom together? Did people even talk like that?

Knowing Matthew's personality, she would've thought that he would certainly tease her again. However this time, much to her surprise, he didn't.

Matthew did not tease her as per usual.

Instead, he looked at Selina and stared into her eyes intensely.

Selina was startled.

Matthew looked unusual that day, very much so. He seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

She licked her dry lips and explained curtly, "Matthew, let me explain to you what really happened last time at your house. That thing wasn't what I was supposed to give you. It was a lonely young lady who had gotten into the cab I was in and mistakenly switched our packages, taking mine and leaving hers in the car. I just had to be scatterbrained. I took the wrong thing, so..."

Selina stopped explaining when she saw that Matthew's expression had become even stranger.

Selina shifted her gaze and then it suddenly dawned upon her.

She asked dryly, "Matthew, don't tell me you want to call up that lonely girl for a date. Wait, let me see if I still have her number so I can pass it to you."

"Selina," Matthew suddenly interrupted her. His voice was low and hoarse. "You're getting married."

Selina was stupefied.

Moments later, she nodded and said, "Yeah. Are you coming, Matthew? I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. I won't be a spinster anymore."

Selina smiled sweetly.

Her happy face was an eyesore to him.

"Do you love him very much?" he asked quietly.

There was a hint of imperceptible pain in his

voice.

"Of course. If I didn't love him, why would I have agreed to marry him?"

Matthew's heart felt like it had been pierced by needles a million times over.

Moments later, he abruptly sneered. His grin was freezing, and did not reach his eyes. "Congratulations, but I won't be attending the wedding."

After saying that, Matthew immediately left.

Staring at his departing figure, Selina was dumbfounded. There was something very wrong with Matthew.

However...

Selina's eyes gleamed. She suddenly realized how nice his back view was. She hadn't realized how striking Matthew's figure was. He was tall, and had a well-proportioned physique.

Matthew bid farewell to Tobias in a hurry.

Tobias was rather puzzled. They had barely talked, and Matthew was already excusing himself to leave all of a sudden.

"Tobias, I have something else to attend to." Matthew's face did not look too good. "Let's talk at another time."

Tobias had no choice but to nod and say, "See you next time. By the way, Selina's wedding will be held the day after tomorrow."

Matthew directly interrupted Tobias. "I'll be busy the day after tomorrow. I'm sorry that I can't come, but I'll get someone to send over a gift."

Matthew hurried away after that.

Matthew waited until he had gotten into his car before he exhaled loudly.

He placed his hands on the steering wheel and his eyes were clouded with emotion.

He was no longer some young teenager, but when he heard the news about Selina getting married, he still made a faux pas.

There had never been anything between him and Selina in the first place.

Selina didn't even know what his intentions were.

A hint of bitterness flashed in Matthew's eyes.

Everything had always gone smoothly in his life without a hitch, except Selina.

Back then, at the dance, he had already been enamored with Selina. However, a single sentence from her had stopped him.

Only later had he found out that she was only sixteen at the time. He had decided to patiently wait for her to grow up.

However, after Selina had grown up, he too found himself getting older by the day.
