My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 923

When she came to the Perry family's on the first day, Matthew had been tricked by her to go to another country, hence she had been able to spend the night alone in the room without much worries.

But then, Matthew was back now.

Would Matthew want to sleep with her tonight?

Selina's eyes shimmered.

She felt that there could be such possibility.

She no longer had the mood to lie down. Instead, she sat up, wanting to read a book to kill some time.

The room had big bookshelves which were completely filled with books.

Selina scanned through the books which all seemed like those with profound knowledge. She had almost no interest in reading them at all.

In the end, she simply picked up her phone and downloaded a reading app in which she started reading a genre fiction novel.

At this moment, she actually didn't have much mood to read the novel, but merely to pass time and do something. She didn't want Matthew to see her being unnatural when he entered the room.

It didn't take long for Selina who was reading to hear footsteps drawing closer.

Her heart was beating a little faster.

She knew that Matthew was coming.

True enough, the bedroom door was pushed open and Matthew came in.

Selina felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness.

She lowered her head to continue reading and pretended that she hadn't seen Matthew.

"Selina." Matthew's gentle voice began to ring beside Selina's ears as he walked to Selina's side.

Selina had no way to continue pretending.

She could only raise her head and look at Matthew.

Matthew was gazing at her. His gaze was as deep as a vast ocean.

"Let's sleep in separate rooms today since there are so many rooms in your house. Either you or me go to sleep in another room," Selina said dryly.

Matthew's gaze darkened slightly.

He said in his thin lips, "It'll be a joke for us newlyweds to sleep in separate rooms. Don't be like this, Selina."

Selina bit her lips.

She knew that Matthew would not let her go so easily.

Since that was the case, then it would be better to lay the cards on the table.

With gritted teeth, Selina said, "Alright then, let's be clear that you're not allowed to touch me." Then she paused and said in an embarrassed tone, "You tortured me so many times that night that it was too much for my body to bear. Now that I've not recovered, you need to be considerate for my health condition."

Matthew's breathing paused.

Selina's words caused a sense of guilt to erupt within him.

That night, under the influence of the drugs as well as his lust for her, he had bedded her.

"Okay, I won't touch you," Matthew murmured.

There was a slight croakiness in his voice.

Selina heaved a sigh of relief.

In the meantime, Matthew had gotten on the bed.

Selina's body became stiff instantly. Despite the fact that Matthew had promised not to touch her, this was the first time for her as an adult to be in the same bed with a man in such a conscious state.

Selina was in a seated position on one side and Matthew didn't lie down either.

In order to divert her attention, Selina's eyes went back to the phone once more.

"What are you looking at?" Matthew glanced at Selina.

"Reading," Selina said stiffly.

Matthew suddenly recalled the day some time ago when Selina was visiting the Perry family's for the first time and got all drunk. When he'd called the following day to enquire on Selina's health, Natalie had said a bunch of things about the topic of erotica.

Matthew's lips curled up slightly and asked, "Erotic novels, huh?"

Selina was speechless.

She glared at Matthew and said, "Do you think I'll be reading one like you?"

This man must be quite an expert for the first thing he mentioned was already about reading erotic novels. He might be solemn-looking on the outside but could be hiding under his blanket to read and drool over such novels during midnight.
