My Heart only Beats for You

Matthew's gaze turned darker, "Tobias, do you still remember what happened eight years ago?" Tobias focused his gaze on Matthew, "I do, but that has nothing to do with your marriage." Matthew's lips curved into a bitter smile at his reply. He then told Tobias the whole story.

Tobias was a lot calmer compared to Selina. He was able to remain in his seat until Matthew had finished. At the end of Matthew's story, Tobias felt that his breath had been taken away.

He had never anticipated for things to turn out this way! After listening to all Matthew had to say, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by subdued feelings.

Tobias then asked, "Matthew, do you love her?" Matthew replied in a hushed voice, "I don't. Tobias, if Saoirse hadn't savedthat year and the situation was out of my control, I would never have married her." In a firm tone, Tobias commented, "Well, since you don't, then this issue is easy to solve. Divorce her and have her leave." Matthew said helplessly, "Tobias, when Saoirse met me, she hadn't even turned twenty years old yet. She did not have any connections with other men for all these years just because of me. I just feel indebted to her." Matthew simply couldn't treat her by the method Tobias had suggested.

"Then what exactly do you plan to do?" Matthew fell silent for a moment, then said, "I will try my best to negotiate with Saoirse about this so that she would leaveon her own will." "If she were to leave so easily, then she wouldn't have cso far to find you in the first place." "I will try my best." "If she don't want to leave, are you going to drag this on forever?" Matthew pressed his lips together, not responding to Tobias.

Tobias wanted to say more, but he quickly silenced himself.

He knew that Matthew was in a difficult position right now.

Such affairs were really hard to resolve.

"Tobias, I need you to doa favor. Please take care of Selina during this period of time. Don't let her get too upset." Tobias could only say in an exasperated tone, "How can she not be upset after such a thing has happened?" Matthew's heart throbbed in pain when he heard this.

"She didn't listen to any of my reasonings. She was too overwhelmed with emotions. Tobias, I honestly fear that she would hurt herself." "I will tell her your side of the story. She may not listen to you, but she will to me." And with that, Tobias stood up, adding, "Matthew, I don't want to remark too much on this matter. I know you know well what you need to do but I still have to remind you that the longer you drag this out, the easier the issue will get out of hand." "I understand," Matthew croaked.

After pausing for a moment, he added, "Take care of Selina forfor a few days. I know she wouldn't want to seefor now." Selina stayed awake till dawn.

It was a sleepless night.

She had tried numerous ways to fall asleep, but she could never enter an actual slumber.

Halfway through the night, Lothar had called her to check how she was doing.

After exchanging a few words, Selina hung up the phone.

She sat up once it was daybreak.

She hadn't sleep a wink all night. The dark circles under eyes were obvious but she did not feel sleepy at all. Instead, annoyance was brimming in her heart.

After Selina washed her face, she headed downstairs.

Tobias had also just gotten up.

After he cback from Matthew's place last night, it was already very late into the night so he didn't look for Selina. But now that he met her, he felt that it was necessary to sit down and have a proper chat with her.

"You didn't sleep last night?" Tobias ask as he stared at the dark circles under Selina's eyes.

Selina let out a begrudging chuckle and said, "How could I sleep when something like this has happened?" With sreluctance, she continued, "Mother and Natalie don't know about it yet, do they?" "They don't. I'm concealing this matter from them for now, especially from Mother. We all know that she would not take it lightly," Tobias replied in a low voice.

Selina nodded in agreement, "That's good then." "Selina, let's go out and talk." "Is it still about him?" "Yes." Selina smiled in a sarcastic manner, "Let's just let it be. There's nothing else to discuss." She pointed to her chest and said, "It may hurt immensely right now, but sooner or later, things will get better. I don't want to talk about this person anymore. Let's just pretend that nothing has ever happened." Tobias narrowed his eyes at her words.

"Selina, things are not what you think they are." This rubbed her the wrong way.

Selina looked straight at him and said accusingly, "Tobias, you were on my side yesterday. So why are you speaking on Matthew's behalf now?" "I'm not speaking up for him. I met him last night." Selina froze upon heari this.

"Why did you bother? Tobias, do you want to embarrassfurther?" "Calm down. Let's have a good chat." Selina cried out, "There's nothing left to talk about!" At this moment, Cecilia had cdownstairs.

Her hawkish gaze first fell on Tobias, and then at Selina, "What are you talking about this tin the morning? Why are you shouting?" Tobias maintained his expression, "It's nothing, Mother. Selina had got up early today and wanted to walk around the garden." "Oh," Cecilia said, "It's good to go for a stroll. The weather is quite good today."

Selina was afraid that Cecilia would notice that she had lost control of her own emotions again so she seized the opportunity to walk out of the villa, "Then I'll head out first." Tobias quickly followed behind her. Once they got to the garden, they no

longer had any reason to keep up their act, "Tobias, what is it that you want to tell me? As long as it is about Matthew, I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear a single word!" Tobias's brows furrowed together.

It was no wonder that Matthew could not explain himself to her up till now. Selina was too emotional. She would not even listen to Tobias, her own brother, let alone Matthew.

However, Tobias went straight to the point, "Selina, it's true that Matthew had gotten married eight years ago, but he lost his memory half a year into their marriage. In other words, even he didn't know that he was married." Selina was left momentarily dazed.

She looked back at him in shock, "What did you say?" Tobias proceeded to explain every detail to Selina.

Selina couldn't feel her legs upon hearing the truth and she fell onto the flowerbeds.

Fortunately, it was all soil, so it did not hurt her.

Tobias helped her up to her feet, "Calm down." A hint of mortification flashed across Selina's face.

Their eyes locked with each other and Selina asked, "Tobias, you're not lying to me, right?" Tobias's eyes were now the darkest shade of black as he said, "Selina, Matthew was the one who informed
