My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Preslie arrived home.

Before she got out of the car, she thanked the driver profusely. "Thank you so much for taking the trouble to send me home, it's so far away."

This was the first time the driver had ever met such a polite person. He smiled brightly and said, "No need to thank me, miss. This was Mr. Perry's order. I'm just doing my job, that's all." Preslie waved goodbye to the driver.

A woman came down. She was Preslie's sister, Amelia Fernandez.

The first thing Amelia noticed was the car.

It was a Black Bentley.

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

A Bentley was a very expensive car.

She then looked around and saw Preslie waving at the car as it drove away.

She saw Preslie waving longingly at the car as it drove away.

Amelia's eyeballs nearly popped out of her head.

Preslie knew someone who drove a Bentley!

What the f*ck?

This fat, ugly girl knew someone who drove a Bentley?

Preslie was about the head upstairs when she saw Amelia.

She was taken aback.

Amelia looked at her contemptuously. "Who were you talking to? I didn't know you knew someone who drives a Bentley."

"He sent me home. I was just saying thank you to him," Preslie replied.

Amelia condescendingly looked at Preslie from top to toe.

She leaned in close. "I'm surprised, really. With your figure, I didn't think that even a guy riding a bike would send you home. How did you hook up with him? Don't tell me he's into fat women." Preslie understood what Amelia was saying.

Her face turned red out of anger.

She glared at Amelia. "I'm not as dirty as you think!"

After saying that, she ran upstairs.

Amelia pouted and followed her.

She then broadcasted the things she'd seen to her parents.

Preslie's parents didn't believe a word of it.

"Someone who owns a Bentley drove Preslie home? Impossible."

"No man would ever love her. It worries me to death that she might never find a husband."

"If only she was as beautiful as Amelia, then we'd have nothing to worry about."

Preslie heard everything they said from inside her bedroom.

She couldn't help bursting out of her bedroom.

She shouted at the three of them in the living room, "Haven't you said enough? Do you even know what day today is?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Amelia was the first to respond.

Her face looked disdainful. "What's wrong with telling the truth? Nobody will want you when you're so fat. Mom and Dad are probably going to be stuck with you for the rest of their lives. Aren't they allowed to complain about it a little?" Their mother chimed in. "Really, you're ugly and disobedient. How did I give birth to a daughter like you?"

Preslie clenched her fists.

She didn't say anything else and went back into her bedroom.

Slam!

She slammed her bedroom door shut.

Tears fell from her eyes.

It was her birthday.

It was bad enough that nobody had celebrated her birthday with her, and even her own family was making fun of her.

All because she was fat?

She had already lost dozens of pounds. She wasn't as obese as before, so why were they still making fun of her?

Was an attractive body that important?

She just couldn't understand.

She even considered ignoring her doctor's advice and thought about just losing all her weight to the point that she was just skin and bones, even though she might die.

She couldn't do it, though.

She wanted to live.

Even if her life felt like some sick joke.

She wanted to live out the rest of her life.

Yesseca and Kyi in were about to get married.

Selina heard the news while she was drinking some milk.

Erine had prepared it for her.

She didn't really like it, but Erine made her, saying that it was good for the baby's skin.

"Miss Whitlock, I dreamt that this

met

baby's going to be a girl, so you have to make sure that you drink milk twice a day to make sure that the baby has good skin. You know how

important it is for a girl to have good skin!"

Selina was no match for Erine's nagging, so she gave in and drank her milk.

If she refused to drink it, Erine would nag her incessantly, which annoyed her greatly.

She was just starting to drink when Kyi in came back.

His face was practically glowing.

He told Selina that he and Yesseca were going to get married.

"Pfft!"

Selina spat her milk out in surprise, and it splattered all over Kyi in's face.

Kylin was lost for words.

He wiped his face awkwardly. "Selina, you don't have to be so agitated."

Even he wasn't as agitated as she was.

Selina practically jumped to her feet. "How can I not be agitated? Kyi in, I've finally succeeded in getting Yesseca to marry you!" After she said that, she then realized she might have said too much.

She changed tacks. "Don't overthink things. Yesseca's marrying you because she wants to. I just pushed things along a little."

She winked at him. "You're a great man, Kylin. Otherwise, Yesseca wouldn't have fallen for you."

Kylin laughed.

He had mixed feelings about this.

For a split second, he wondered if Yesseca was still interested in that man, but then she had agreed to marry him.

Regardless, he was still very happy.

Yesseca agreeing to marry him was proof that she did have feelings for him.

On the way back to the Perry family manor, Kylin started laying out his plans.

First, he would call his mother tell her to get ready to meet her future daughter-in-law.

Then, he felt that it would be best if Yesseca agreed to move to the United States with him. If not, he would buy a house in Agaphen City and live here with her.

His parents had lived in the United

States for such a long time that they

didn't think that he had to stay with them, so they definitely wouldn't have any objection to him settling down in Agaphen City.

"Selina, I want to start preparing for the wedding as soon as possible. Since Yesseca was the one to bring it up, I have to get things done fast," Kyi in said. "That's great! You two should get registered first, though. It's going to take some time to get the wedding ready, so it's better to get registered in the meantime," Selina replied. Selina was very concerned about Tremaine suddenly appearing and causing trouble. Once Kyi in and Yesseca were legally married, there would be nothing to worry about. She suddenly changed her mind. "No, wait. Let's get it over and done with tonight. Let me call Matthew and ask him to arrange things." Kyi in was taken aback.

He said helplessly, "Selina, that's too

much. I can't rush Yesseca into registering our marriage tonight. I want to bring her back to the United States to meet my parents first. We'll register our marriage when we get back, and then we can start planning the wedding."
