My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



"Cousin, I've given some thought to what you told me before."

Selina was nervous. She had forgotten about her conversation with Kylin.

She stared at him. "So what's your decision?"

A smile formed on Kyi in's lips.

"I've decided to stay," smiling gently, his face had brightened up significantly.

Selina was relieved to hear his answer.

The bad mood she was in from last night's incident melted away as well.

She laughed. "That's great, Kylin. Yesseca truly deserves you."

The smile on his face widened.

He had planned to leave, but now decided to stay.

He felt that Yesseca was a girl worth staying for.

He had met many girls.

They were all pure-hearted, beautiful, and cute.

But he had never met anyone who was as pure and kind as Yesseca.

She was worth fighting for.

Soon Matthew was done cooking and brought out the dishes.

Selina looked at the food he made but didn't find them very appetizing.

She lamented, "These look too light for my liking. I want to eat some spicy food, I really do."

Matthew gently patted her belly. "You just had a false alarm last night and now you're craving spicy food. You ought to eat lighter foods, it's better for you."

She looked at him and said, "Don't worry. I'm fine, and I'm in a great mood."

Matthew looked at Kylin who had a large smile on his face and felt a slight murmur in his heart.

When Kylin went back to his room after dinner, Matthew asked Selina, "How are Kylin and Yesseca doing?"

He guessed that Selina's good mood had something to do with the reason Kylin was smiling so brightly.

Sure enough, Selina explained happily, "My brother has decided to pursue Yesseca, and has decided to stay." Seeing how happy Selina was at the news, he didn't have the heart to tell her what he thought about it.

He chose to keep quiet.

Kylin was a very good man. If Yesseca really liked Kyi in, she would be much better off with him than with Tremaine, who had a son and was involved in power plays and the like.

Anyway, Selina was the one who was trying so hard to match those two together...

Matthew sighed to himself.

Forget it, he wouldn't say anything. It would be find to let Kylin have his shot. If Yesseca was really interested in him, that might be for the best. Around nine o'clock that evening, Yesseca was about to go to sleep.

She usually didn't sleep so early, but she was very tired from last night's incident.

There was a knock on the door just as her head was about to touch the pillow.

Yesseca went to open the door.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It was Tremaine.

Yesseca was speechless.

She was surprised to see him. "Mr. Quartley, what are you doing here?"

Tremaine spoke plainly, "I'll be guarding you tonight."

Yesseca was confused. "I'm not a prisoner. What are you guarding me for?"

Tremaine looked at Yesseca and said, "The window. I'll stay here tonight and watch the window."

Yesseca held her breath.

She said nervously, "That was just a nightmare. There was nothing there. I simply had a nightmare."

"Nightmare or not, I'll know for sure after tonight." Tremaine paused for a moment before staring deeply at her. "You definitely won't be able to get any rest tonight, unless someone's here to watch over you."

Yesseca's heart skipped a beat.

How did Tremaine know that?

Although she was really sleepy, it was impossible for her to actually fall asleep as she was still very disturbed from the nightmare she had last night.

As she stood there stunned in place, Tremaine walked in. Yesseca quietly watched him walk in.

She felt helpless at Tremaine's

insistence. "Mr. Quartley, why are et

you coming in all of a sudden?

can't do this. How can a mamand a woman..."

Tremaine glared at her angrily. "It was okay for you to be alone in the same room with another man this morning, but not for me?" Yesseca argued, "He's a psychologist. It was a therapy session."

"I'm here to watch over you while you sleep."

"But that won't do. It's so late at night..."

Before Yesseca could finish speaking, Tremaine stopped her. "I've done this before, and if I recall you begged me to do it last time." There was an ambiguous tone in the way he said that.

Yesseca's ears felt hot.

"That... that was different..."

"Why was that different?" Tremaine moved closer.

His endlessly deep eyes stared straight into Yesseca's eyes.

For some reason, her mouth felt dry.

Yesseca's heart skipped another beat.

Tremaine was making her heart

race. He had bent down so his handsome face was very close to Yessecas. "What's different about in the same room that

it? We We were

night. Last time you begged me to stay, this time I came of my own

accord."

As he spoke, Yesseca felt his hot breath on her face. It felt like being brushed with streaks of electricity, it teased every nerve on her face.

"Bam! Bam! Bam!"

Her heart thumped out loud into the quiet night.

Everything Tremaine said was true, but he said it so ambiguously it made her blush and sent her heart racing.

"If you don't answer me, I'll have to punish you." He parted his lips slightly and sounded even more ambiguous than before.

Yesseca stared at him quietly.

Punish her?

What was he going to punish her for?

She asked nervously, "What do you want to punish me for?"

Tremaine smiled.

It was a very handsome and mischievous smile. "What do you think?"

"How... how would I know?"

Tremaine's eyes travelled down from Yesseca's forehead to her eyes, her nose and then to her lips.

Her lips looked so pink and soft.

They were such beautiful lips, he really wanted to taste them.

Tremaine gulped.

Yesseca noticed his thoat moving.

She didn't know what that meant, but somehow felt that this was a very bad sign, a very dangerous sign.

She felt like she had become a small white rabbit, while Tremaine had turned into a giant grey wolf.

The giant wolf could swallow the small white rabbit whole, leaving nothing behind.

"Mr... Mr. Quartley, you'd better leave. I don't need anyone to guard me." Yesseca stammered.

She had to get Tremaine, the big grey wolf, out as soon as possible.

"You still refer to me as Mr. Quartley despite our relationship?" He seemed to pay a lot of attention to the way Yesseca addressed him.

Yesseca was quiet.

What did their relationship have to do with that?

Yesseca wanted to ask him what he meant, but then she noticed the man's expression.
