My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 855

His gaze and tone were earnest and tender. His eyes were clear as the night sky, withholding countless words that were impossible to express. He stared at Selina deeply, as if she was the only one in the world.

There was only Selina. She was the only one left in his world.

She had never received such an attentive gaze. The look in his eyes was so genuine with genuine feelings for her which could no longer be hidden.

This rendered Selina totally dumbstruck. Did Matthew really like her that much?

His words and sincere eyes made Selina's anger fade away in an instant.

She couldn't help but sit back down.

Her mind was searching through all the memories she and Matthew shared.

She did not seem to have had any intense interactions with Matthew before.

However, judging from Matthew's appearance earlier, it looked like he had a deep sense of affection towards her.

If Matthew had been poor, Selina would have thought that Matthew was treating her this way on purpose in pursuit of the Whitlock family's assets.

However, Matthew wasn't. His status was nearly on par with the Whitlock family, and there was nothing of use that Selina could bring to the table.

What was the reason, then? Did this man really like her?

"Matthew, do you actually like me that much?" Selina blurted out. "How is it that I never knew?"

A surge of helplessness flashed through Matthew's eyes.

His expression said it all, and only then did Selina recognize it for what it was.

"There are still many things that you don't know, Selina," Matthew said in exasperation. "Your mind is too clouded."

Selina was speechless.

Having asked that question, Selina had felt a little guilty, so she was trying to cover it up by sipping at her coffee.

However, as soon as Matthew finished talking, she spat out the coffee in her mouth.

It was really because of the way that Matthew had made it sound...

He seemed to be treating her like a three-year-old child, which made Selina smile in spite of herself.

Selina gave a heavy cough.

Matthew's eyes were filled with even more vulnerability.

Selina had sprayed droplets of coffee onto her own face when she spat earlier.

He stood up and wiped the stains off Selina's face. "Be careful. I just said your mind was clouded, and here you are proving me right."

Selina was at a loss for words.

She had a look of betrayal on her face. "Matthew, can you please stop treating me like a little girl?"

"You've always been a little girl," Matthew said as a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.

He couldn't forget the girl from 9 years ago. In his eyes, Selina seemed to be stuck at sixteen. She would forever be the girl flitting around in a dress.

Selina did not know what to say.

With a grave tone, she said, "I'm not a child anymore. I'm an adult now. Please treat me the way you would treat an adult. For example, don't wipe my face with a tissue. Adults don't wipe each other's faces. That's how we deal with children!"

She gave Matthew a stern reminder, hoping that he could stop with the wiping, which looked so childish.

As a result, Matthew's hand really did stop.

However, the next second, the man did something that left Selina in wide-eyed shock.

Matthew's lips landed on Selina's face as he kissed away the coffee stains on it.

Selina had no words left to speak.

Her face instantly flushed. She asked with a red face, "What... What are you doing?"

Matthew smirked devilishly and said with an innocent voice, "You asked me not to treat you like a child, and to treat you like an adult instead. I was merely obeying your orders."
