My Heart only Beats for You

Although Yesseca was optimistic, she had been sick from a young age, making her vulnerable and easily

influenced by others. Otherwise, she would not have been tempted by Essie, causing that incident to happen.

Therefore, when Matthew heard about Navidia's matter, he decided he had to chat with Yesseca.

He knew that even if Tremaine and Navidia had nothing going on between them, Yesseca would still be affected.

If there was no one to guide her, she would be splitting hairs.

A hint of shock filed Yesseca's eyes when she heard Matthew mentioning Navidia.

It was because the news of Navidia's incident had reached him, who was in Agaphen City.

She didn't know how to answer at the moment.

Therefore, he went straight to the point.

"I heard that Navidia visited Nashaland, didn't she?"

She nodded.

With that, he continued, "Tremaine is the President, and Navidia is the princess of Megeland. She is only there at

Nashaland for a friendly visit to demonstrate the friendship between the two countries. He is obligated to

accompany her to events, and it is basic etiquette for him to do so. It doesn't mean there is something between

them. Even if Navidia turned out to be an eighty-year-old woman, he would have to accompany her too."

Hearing Matthew's words, Yesseca did not say a word.

She almost let out a laugh at his sentence as she felt her nerves growing less tense.

Nodding, she said, "Got it."

"No, you don't," he replied.

Just then, she looked at him in surprise.

Somehow, he was able to see through her thoughts. He said to her, "I know you're nervous and insecure. You

haven't thought it through, and you have something weighing on your mind."

For a moment, she did not know how to react. Yesseca was stunned.

Whenever she spoke to Selina, Selina would believe in her every word.

Therefore, Yesseca had always believed she could hide things she was not comfortable sharing.

However...

It seemed impossible when conversing with Mathew.

One could see how wise he was by looking at his eyes.

Instead of words, he could tell what one was feeling by observing their actions.

Right then, she lowered her gaze, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly, forming shadows on her face.

It was true that she had been under a lot of psychological pressure during this time.

Since Matthew had asked, Yesseca wanted to pour her heart out and tell him her worries.

After all, she wanted someone who could give her advice as to what she should do.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Many people are againstand Tremain's relationship. | have heard

that many are giving him pressure, especially someone named Hogan, who leads the cabinet. Every night, he

would cover to see Tremaine, persuading him to leave me." Licking her dry lips, she continued, "I looked up

on the intethat many of Nashaland's people are supportive of Tremaine getting together with Navidia.

People say they are meant to be, and their union would bring many benefits to Nashaland." "What does Tremaine

think?"

Yesseca said in a low voice, 'Tve talked to Tremaine. I've told him | want to leave Nashaland, but he rejects my

idea, saying he wants to be with me."

"In that case, you don't have to think too much about it," said Matthew.

She looked at him as she said, "But equality in status between a couple is a factor for a relationship to withstand

time. Navidia is of Tremaine's equal. If they were to marry, it would bring many benefits to Nashaland, but I could

do nothing for the people there." He smiled and said, "I have something | must say. Are you willing to listen to

my words?"

She nodded subconsciously.

With that, he spoke, "Firstly, there is nothing between the two of them. You've been overthinking, that's all. She

is just here on a friendly visit."

"And status is not a factor that would make or break a relationship. The attraction between two people is the

reason for them to fall in love with each other. | have to disagree with you. What makes love so wonderful is

because it has no

limits You can't define it, and

s0 you

can only follow what your heart is telling you. The benefits that cwith it are nothing." "If you wish to stay

with Tremaine, you have to learn to not care about what others think of your relationship, understand? Public

opinion is not always correct. You have to follow your heart. As long as you're not validating any laws or morals

of your

own, everything will be fine."

It was the first tYesseca had heard such a saying. While listening, glimmers of hope flashed across her eyes.

Matthew added, "About what Selina

said about you staring at your

phone. Is it because you're in a fight with him, and you hope for him to call? You're waiting for him to take the

initiative to say sorry or ask where you are, aren't you?"

She was silent.

Then, she let out a heavy sigh.

How was he so smart?

He saw nothing, but he figured out what was going on based on Selina's words.

With that, Yesseca nodded. "Yes, you're right."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Matthew asked.

A troubled expression flashed across her face.

She would never tell a soul about this.

But after hearing his words...

Just then, she spoke, "H-He wrote dumb goose on my forehead and even drew one."

After saying this, her face turned completely red.

It was so embarrassing for her.

No words cfrom his mouth.

Even though he was well-informed, he, too, was taken by surprise.

After a while, Matthew cto his senses.

He laughed and said, "I heard that he is a quirky, free-spirited man. It seems like the rumors were true."

But Yesseca disagreed.

Quirky? Free-spirited? It was more like Tremaine was out of his mind.

Would anyone draw on a sleeping person's face in the middle of the night?

The answer was no.

Only a mad man like Tremaine would do something like this.

Matthew comforted Yesseca, "He was just fooling around with you. Don't mind him."

However, Yesseca was upset, and it showed on her face, "You don't understand, Anyone could tell that you love

Selina a lot and you're gentle and considerate towards her. But | can't tell that he lovesfrom his actions. He

callsdumb and dumb goose all the time. And sometimes, he would even hit me. | feel like I'm losing all

confidence when | am with him, and | feel so wronged and mad."

Hearing her words, he stared fixedly into her eyes.

Then, he said, "Do you know why Selina let you go to Nashaland with Tremaine when she hates him to bits?"

She stopped breathing.

She could tell that Selina loathed Tremaine.

"She had no other choice. Tremaine cwith an army of soldiers. Selina didn't want to make a scene, and she «

didn't want to make it hard for me," Yesseca said. Matthew sighed. "That's not it."
