My Heart only Beats for You

Cecilia shot a glare at Selina. "Oh, so you're self-aware? Sometimes I can't tell whether you are my biological daughter or Natalie is." Selina put on a show of mock sadness. "Mom, you know that saying, 'out with the old, in with the new'? That's you! You forgot all about your blood-and-flesh daughter as soon as Natalie married into the family." Everyone was silent.

Then, cheerful laughter burst out all around. At that moment, Francia and Bowie were heading to the Whitlock residence too.

They had seen the news online.

Bowie was overjoyed.

She consulted Francia and suggested meeting Matthew.

When Francia saw that Matthew was not involved in any of it, she thought it over again. Finally, she decided that that man was worthy of her daughter. Hence, that night, she had brought Bowie to the Whitlock family's mansion.

She would have a good talk with Natalie.

She needed to be strict, as aunts should. They had to bring up James too, to pressure Natalie.

When they arrived at the door of the villa, Bowie was suddenly struck with concern. "Mom, do you think Natalie will listen to you?" After all, Natalie had rejected them many times. The last time, she had even flown into a rage.

Glaring, Francia said, "It's all because I didn't act enough like her aunt! If she doesn't agree this time, I will bring James up. Would her deceased uncle forgive her for treatingthis way?" Bowie figured that James was Francia's trump card.

Hence, Bowie nodded, "Mom, that's a good idea. Natalie doesn't care about us at all. Even so, if we bring up James, she might reconsider." Francia spat on the ground.

Bowie's words burrowed into her mind. Natalie only cared about James. She did not take her aunt, Francia, seriously at all.

"She's heartless." Francia couldn't resist saying, "I'm her aunt, no matter what. How could she treatthat disrespectfully?" "That's right!" Bowie grumbled, "All she did was buy a villa for us and give us smoney. We were so happy at first but now we know that those are nothing for the Whitlock family." Francia huffed indignantly, "Right, we didn't know about that at first. I think she should at least give us a company for us to be directors or something." The two of them strutted into the Whitlock family's mansion while they conversed.

When they arrived in the living room, they were met with a gale of laughter.

Francia and Bowie walked over.

Bowie saw Matthew first.

He sat there with a faint smile on his face. The light in the living room illuminated his handsface, highlighting his sharp features.

In an instant, Bowie was starstruck.

She stared at Matthew, not moving an inch.

Francia gave a deliberate cough when she noticed that.

Everyone becfocused on them.

Natalie cursed to herself.

Cecilia was ignorant of the whole debacle between them. Hence, she still displayed enthusiasm when she saw them. She told Natalie, "Natalie, your aunt and your cousin are here. Quick, bring them over to sit with us." Natalie had no choice but to go over and usher them in.

She lowered her voice as she warned "Aunt, Bowie, please don't cause any trouble. Otherwise, I won't forgive you." Both Matthew and Selina were there. Natalie was really afraid that the two would say something shocking. Francia was pissed off upon hearing Natalie's words.

She was about to scold Natalie, but as there was so many people present, she shut her mouth. All she could do was pull a long face.

On the other hand, Bowie's gaze was completely ensnared by Matthew.

Natalie brought Bowie and Francia over.

Cecilia warmly invited them to eat.

Francia began devouring the food without hesitation.

Bowie's eyes on Matthew remained unflinching.

Soon, everyone present figured out that there was something amiss.

Cecilia covered her mouth and cleared her throat.

Selina glanced at Natalie.

Whereas Matthew was feeling a little embarrassed.

He was handsand had always stood out in any crowd. He had always attracted the attention of numerous girls. However, it was the first tthat he had been so openly stared at.

Natalie felt awkward.

No matter what she did, Bowie was still related to her.

For their sakes, Bowie should at least be less direct with where she was looking.

Natalie pointed at Bowie's eyes and said, "You're looking in the wrong direction." With that, everyone continued what they were doing.

Francia was angry when she heard how Natalie had chided her daughter.

As she was about to lambast Natalie, she suddenly saw the warning look that Natalie was shooting her way. Natalie was really imposing when she was angry. The look she was giving Francia made Francia swallow the words on the tip of her tongue.

The pleasant atmosphere in the room had died down with Francia and Bowie's arrival.

Although Natalie had blatantly admonished Bowie, it was still uncomfortable for Matthew to be continuously stared at. Hence, he and Selina excused themselves. When Matthew and Selina were about to leave, Bowie stood up with them.

She was about to follow him.

Natalie immediately grabbed Bowie. "Bowie, didn't you say you liked my bag very much last time? I'll give it to you." Bowie was distracted as soon as she heard the offer.

When she looked back, Matthew and Selina were gone.

She was frustrated, but she still reached her hand out for Natalie's bag.

Natalie liked the bag that she gave to Bowie a lot. She had, ad only said that to distract Bowie. However, she really had to part with it to keep her word.

Nonetheless, Bowie was still dissatisfied, even with the bag.

Angrily, she asked, "Natalie, why didn't you introduceto Matthew? The opportunity was perfect just now!" Natalie said helplessly, "Bowie, didn't you see the person sitting beside Matthew? She's Selina Whitlock. They're a couple." Bowie snorted. "Is Selina as pretty as me? Is her chest as big as mind?" That statement left even Natalie stunned.

Defeated, she said, "If you think you're that pretty, then whatever."

Bowie said in a somewhat aggrieved voice, "Natalie, I know that Selina is your sister-in-law and you're helping her, but you really can't do this. I'm your blood related cousin too. m James' niece. You can't dismissjust like that." Natalie felt an impending headache.

She looked into Bowie's eyes and said, "Bowie I've told you this many times before, and I'm going to tell you again for the last time. Matthew and Selina truly love each other They're a match made in heaven. Stop thinking or daydreaming about it because you won't stand any chance. And don't mention anything about this toanymore." Enraged, Bowie wanted to bring the matter to Francia.

Francia was chatting with Cecilia.

Cecilia didn't know much about Francia, but since Francia's younger brother had saved her son's life, she thought Ashburn favorably of Francia.
