My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Selina held Yesseca's hand affectionately. "No 'buts'. From now on, you're Yervant's godmother. When he grows up and finds a wife, you'll have a say as well."

Matthew, who was standing at the side, also chimed in, "I agree with this as well, Yesseca,"

Yesseca's lips trembled.

She didn't think that she was deserving of becoming Yervant's godmother.

After all, Yervant's parents were Selina and Matthew. Both of them came from very influential and powerful families. They were from upper-class society, whereas she was just an ordinary girl. However, when she saw how earnest and serious Selina eyes were as she looked at her, Yesseca kept her doubts aside.

She nodded heavily. "Okay, Selina. I'll be Yervant's godmother."

Selina lifted up Yervant's little hand. "Come over here, he wants to hold his godmother's hand."

Yesseca reached out her hand.

She wrapped her hand around Yervant's little one.

The baby's hand was small and soft. Yesseca was afraid that she would break it.

Yervant, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.

The baby hadn't smiled once since it was born, but to everyone's surprise, he actually smiled at Yesseca. Although it was a brief smile, it was enough to melt Yesseca's heart.

She thought to herself.

Since she had become Yervant's godmother, she had to take good care of Yervant for the rest of her life.

That day, after having dinner at the Perry family villa, Selina spoke to Yesseca.

She said that Mr. Whitlock wanted to see Yesseca.

Yesseca was nervous.

She knew that Mr. Whitlock was a sweet old man, but what did he want to see her for?

Selina smiled and said, "He's just curious about your relationship with Kylin, that's why he wants to see you. No need to panic," Yesseca felt that this was way too sudden.

She said, "Selina, this is way too soon. We need more time,"

She and Kylin were dating, but they hadn't been a couple for very long. There was no need to meet his elders so soon.

"The old man lives in the United States all year round. He's not used to life here in Glevania. He came back because I had given birth to my baby. He'll be going back to the United States tomorrow, so he wants to see you before he leaves."

After Selina explained the situation to her, Yesseca knew that she couldn't refuse his request.

So, she agreed.

Mr. Whitlock was staying at the Whitlock family villa, so Yesseca had to go over there to see him.

Matthew drove Yesseca over.

This was because after Kylin had escorted Yesseca over to the Perry family villa, he had to leave. He went over to the Whitlock family villa to discuss some matters.

Matthew and Yesseca chatted on their way over.

Althought Yesseca was extremely nervous, she was still in a good state of mind.

Matthew had his doubts about the things Yesseca said in the hospital the other day.

He didn't have the time to ask her about it then.

But he had time now.

While they waited for the traffic light to turn green at an intersection, Matthew asked cautiously, "Yesseca, on that day when you were hospitalized from that high fever when Selina and I came to see you, why did you ask her that question?"

Yesseca held her breath.

She seemed to be thinking about something.

Matthew looked into her eyes. "Yesseca, you can talk to me if you have any quesitons."

Yesseca looked at Matthew.

After a brief moment, she shook her head. "It's nothing. I was just curious."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea,." Yesseca answered.

Since she had already figured it out, there was no need to talk about it, so she avoided answering his question.

The light turned green. Matthew stepped on the gas pedal.

He wanted to ask Yesseca a few more questions, but after giving it some thought, he decided not to.

Yesseca was going to see Mr. Whitlock, so it would be best for her to be calm.

Matthew began to talk to Yesseca about Yervant. He told her that Yervant liked to take long naps.

Sometimes, he would fall so deep into a slumber that even if Selina turned him over in his sleep, he wouldn't wake up. Matthew's anecdotes amused Yesseca so much that she laughed. Any awkward feeling from before had disappeared. When they arrived at the Whitlock family villa, Kyi in was already waiting for them.

As soon as Yesseca arrived, he told her, "Yesseca, the old man wants to see you,"

"I know," Yesseca nodded. "Selina told me."

"No need to be nervous or afraid," Kyi in added.

Yesseca laughed, "I'm just going to meet him, not fight a monster. What's there to be afraid of?"

Her confidence reassured Kylin.

He smiled back at her. "That's good."

The Whitlock family villa was large and luxuriously decorated. Its flair was on par with that of the Perry family villa.

Yesseca was supposed to meet Mr. Whitlock in the main living room.

This wasn't Yesseca's first time meeting him. She had once seen him at the hospital just after Selina had given birth.

However, back then, neither of them spoke to each other. He didn't even look at her. Of course, she didn't as well, but this time it was different.

As soon as Yesseca stepped into the living room, Mr. Whitlock couldn't take his eyes off her.

Yesseca was nervous.

Nevertheless, she still greeted him naturally and gracefully, "Hello, Mr. Whitlock,"

She heard everyone refer to him that way, so she did the same.

Peter nodded. "Sit down."

Yesseca sat down on the sofa.

Back in the hospital, she didn't really take a good look at him, but she could now. He was very majestic, with his thick, unruly eyebrows and his relatively sharp eyes.

His facial features were very well- proportioned. He was obviously a very good looking fellow back in the day.

"So, you're Kyi in's girlfriend," Mr. Whitlock didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Yesseca nodded. "That's correct."

At the same time, Kylin came in with two cups of warm water.

He handed a cup to Mr. Whitlock and the other one to Yesseca.

He said, in a joking tone, "Grandpa, Yesseca is quite shy, please don't scare her,"

Peter looked at Kyi in and said, "Don't worry, I won't scare your girlfriend. I'm afraid I'm not in the mood for warm water. I'd like to have some coffee instead. Please go and make me a fresh cup of coffee,"

Peter clearly wanted to keep Kyi in busy for the time being.

Kyi in left anyway.

He trusted that his grandfather wouldn't make things difficult for Yesseca. He was just going to talk to her. "What does your family do?" Mr. Whitlock asked.

Sure enough, any elder of a family would ask this question to the partners of their younger family members.

Yesseca answered honestly, "I come

from an ordinary family. My owne

apartment..." Yesseca gestured with her hand. "It's probably not even a quarter of the size of this living room." en swnovels.net

Peter listened quietly.

He could tell at a glance that Yesseca was an honest person, but he didn't expect her to be so straighforward.

Even though he had invited Yesseça over, he already knew that Yesseça's apartment was just an ordinary one. He didn't expect her apartment to be as small as she had described. en.swhovels.net

Peter thought, "What a way to live."
