My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 881

Matthew's voice was absolutely hypnotic. When he uttered those words in his every so slightly gruff tone, it was maddeningly intoxicating.

Selina's mind was all over the place.

Matthew's handsome face started getting closer and closer. His lips were just about to kiss Selina's.

She bit down on her lip. "Matthew, let's break up."

Matthew stopped moving.

Selina looked up at Matthew's handsome face. Her body went stiff when she realized just how close his face was.

The guilt in her heart was beginning to overflow.

"Selina, I don't think it's April Fool's Day, so let's not play pranks on each other." In a heartbeat, Matthew's warm expression returned, and he locked her eyes in a mesmerizing gaze.

Selina breathed in deeply.

She turned to Matthew in a more serious tone. "Matthew, I want to break up with you. This isn't a joke." Half an hour later, Selina and Matthew were strolling in a nearby park.

The both of them were silent.

Selina checked the clock on her phone. Half an hour had already gone by. "Matthew, I've already taken the time you've given me to think it over, and I still want to break up with you. I mean it."

Matthew stopped walking and looked directly at her.

There wasn't a trace of emotion in his deep, vortexlike eyes.

"Is there something that's been bothering you?" Matthew spoke through his tightened lips. "If there is, you can tell me."

He could see that she was avoiding his question.

Selina bit on her lip. "There isn't anything bothering me, Matthew. I just want to put an end to this relationship with you."

"Are you throwing a tantrum?"

Something triggered within Selina. "I am not throwing a tantrum! I keep telling you, I want to break up!"

She had already thought things through. She knew she wanted to break up with Matthew. There were no tantrums being thrown anywhere.

She had just about had enough of this standoff.

Steeling herself, she faced him and confessed. "Matthew, I'll be honest with you. I got back together with my ex- boyfriend last night. That's why I want to end our relationship."

She feared that if she kept this from him, he'd continue this charade and never get to the point.

It was better this way, being clear and direct. It was crass and definitely crossing the line.

But she had to do it.

Her mind was made up. She had to break it off with Matthew as soon as possible to stop things from going any further.

As she finished speaking, Matthew glared at her with a chilling stare. There wasn't a trace of his usual warmness in his eyes.

She had never seen him like this before. It was terrifying.

He had always been so gentle and welcoming, he radiated a warmth that could melt the coldest ice in winter.

Now, she knew that when such an amazing person turns cold, the very air around him seemed to freeze in an instant.

"Selina, was I just a backup plan for you?" His gaze meeting hers.

She felt a sharp sting in her heart.

She returned his gaze with a look of complete sincerity. "No, Matthew, I would never treat you like that. When we started out, I genuinely wanted to be in a serious relationship with you, I swear. I really meant it, but..."

But she didn't expect Dylan to show her how much he actually cared, how he really felt about her.

Her heart was a wreck, especially after seeing Dylan's expression yesterday. She couldn't ignore it anymore.

She continued with a dejected tone. "If I saw you as a backup plan, I wouldn't have told you all this, and I definitely wouldn't have insisted on a breakup."
