My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 1880

Sheldon took a can of beer from the fridge and gulped it down.

Preslie stood there in silence.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him down that can of beer.

It was late at night, and for a man to drink now meant that...

With that, she stepped back and grabbed the door. She asked in a trembling voice, "W-Why are you drinking?"

He didn't say anything.

He came towards her.

He was feeling must better after some liquor. He was ready to tell her the truth.

The lack of a reply from Sheldon made Preslie think that her guess had been correct.

She said nervously, "You can't do this. It's against the law. You can't force me even if you're a high-ranking officer."

He remained silent.

After all, he knew that she had gotten the wrong idea again.

He explained, "Miss Fernandez, I am not interested in you. You have misunderstood what I just said. I don't mean to do anything to you. I wanted your help in persuading Yesseca."

Preslie was dumbfounded.

He continued with a grave face, "Now that the president of Megeland is going to visit Nashaland. A marriage between states would bound to happen. We can't drag it any longer. I need you to convince Yesseca to leave His Excellency for both of their sakes."

Her expression kept changing as she looked at her.

Seeing that she did not speak, he asked, "Are you willing to?"

She was mad.

Bang!

Preslie slammed the door shut.

How would she be willing to help Sheldon?

What did he think she would do?

All she knew was that she had made a big mistake.

How could she be so foolish?

He wanted her help to persuade Yesseca, but she thought that he was interested in her. She even thought that he would force himself on her.

How could she have such thoughts?

Preslie walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the bedroom.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

The expression on her face turned uglier.

Sheldon's words reverberated in her mind.

"Miss Fernandez, I have no interest in you."

Recalling his words, she sniffled.

It would take a miracle to have him fall for her.

The person staring back at her was plump. Her features were decent but not stunning. How could an average woman like her gain the interest of a man?

Let alone a man like Sheldon.

Only she could think that he had wanted to do something to her.

Preslie laughed.

Hints of sarcasm and pain filled her smile.

How foolish of her.

She was impressed with how good she was at making a fool out of herself.

He must be laughing at her now. He must not have seen such a foolish woman like her.

Her heart ached badly.

Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door again.

Outside the door stood Sheldon.

Preslie was still embarrassed.

But she still went to open the door.

Seeing that it was Sheldon, Preslie did not dare to look at him in the eye.

But she still forced herself to look at him.

What was there to be embarrassed about now when what was done was done?

She comforted herself.

What else could she do?
