My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 845

"Give them hell," Matthew spat out.

Matheo was in utter shock.

Moments later, he came to his senses and nodded. "Understood."

Matthew brought Selina into his car.

By then, Selina was pretty much sobered up.

She then realized how stupid and dangerous her actions were. She was a girl alone in a pub, drunk. If it hadn't been for Matthew, she couldn't have imagined what might have happened.

"Thank you, Matthew," Selina said softly.

Matthew's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in an exasperated tone, "You're already about to get married, but here you are drinking yourself senseless, alone in a bar. Are all of you young people like this?"

The corner of Selina's lips twitched. "What do you mean 'all of you young people'? Are you that old?"

Matthew's previous words had made him sound like an old geezer.

"Don't you think I'm old?" Matthew asked with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

Selina kept silent.

The truth was, she didn't think that Matthew was very old. He looked quite young. It was just that he was 9 years older than her.

"I'll send you home," Matthew said. He turned his eyes to the front, hit the gas, and drove forward.

Selina chewed on her fingernails along the way.

She didn't want to go home, not at all.

She didn't know how to explain to her family that there would be no wedding the next day.

Though running away would not solve the problem, the only thing she wanted to do right then was avoid it all. Her mind was in too much of a mess that she felt certain it would explode.

When they arrived at the gate of Whitlock family villa, Matthew stopped the car. His eyes fell on Selina's face. "Time to get off."

Selina's lashes trembled slightly.

"I don't want to go home," she said.

"You don't want to go home the day before your wedding?"

"Whatever, I just don't want to go home," Selina uttered.

"Then I'll call Tobias," Matthew said as he reached for his phone.

Selina was so frazzled that she had instinctively grabbed hold of Matthew's hand. "No, Matthew, don't call my brother."

When Selina's soft hand touched Matthew's, he was dazed.

Selina looked at Matthew imploringly and said, "Matthew, please don't call him. Just let me be alone."

In the end, Matthew put down his cell phone.

Selina sat in the car for a long time without saying anything.

For a while, silence was all that filled the atmosphere in the car.

After what felt like years, Matthew said, "Is there something on your mind?"

Selina kept silent.

A moment later, she bit her lip. "Matthew, why don't you start the car and take me for a drive?"

Matthew's eyes flickered.

After a moment's thought, he finally stepped on the accelerator.

The car sped along quickly. Selina lowered the car window.

A strong gust of wind blew against Selina, causing her hair to lift up.

"Ah!" Selina screamed out of the window, as if she could vent her anger in this way.

Selina felt like the scream did not give her the high she was after, so she thought she'd sing a song out loud instead, but then, she realized that she didn't know many songs because she rarely ever listened to music.

She took a long time to think, and recalled the song that Hayden would often hum.

Selina, who couldn't care less at that moment, sang at the top of her lungs. "Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the moon so high, like a diamond in the sky..."

Matthew was speechless.

His hands, which were gripping the steering wheel, paused. Countless cars passed by along the way and they looked at her as if she was crazy.

Selina continued to sing with no regard for propriety. Finally, she sang till her voice was hoarse and she could sing no more. Only then did she stop.

Her eyes were filled with bitterness and darkness so thick that it seemed like it might never fade.

"Matthew, I want drinks," Selina mumbled.

Why had that tipsy feeling lost its edge so quickly? She had been intoxicated earlier, so why was she no longer drunk?
