My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

It was because Yesseca had found out about the entire Presidential Palace's objection to them being together.

It was normal that she'd be influenced upon hearing those rumors.

Therefore, she might not truly have meant what she said.

It might have been just a slip of the tongue in the heat of the moment.

Well, that was the reason Tremaine fabricated for Yesseca.

It was also for his own sake.

This was the only way that he could go pick Yesseca up without making himself seem like such a fool. He was the president of a country, after all.

Tremaine happened to see Sheldon when he was at the gates of Quartley Palace.

Sheldon patrolled Quartley Palace every night to ensure its security.

"Sir." Sheldon gave Tremaine a salute.

Tremaine nodded.

It was the perfect opportunity to ask Sheldon to give him a ride.

In case he couldn't do away with his ego and see Yesseca, he could get Sheldon to do it for him.

They headed towards Preslie's home.

Sheldon knew who they were looking for since they were heading towards Preslie's home, of course.

"Sir, is Miss Cowell at her friend's house?" Sheldon asked apprehensively.

Tremaine hummed in agreement, then said with displeasure, "She ran away from home."

Sheldon was speechless.

How old was she? Running away from home?

That was what children did!

Plus, Tremaine was under a lot of pressure recently due to the entire palace objecting to their marriage. As his future wife, Yesseca should be comforting him. Instead, she ran away from home. No matter what the reason was, wasn't she just causing more trouble for Tremaine?

"What an immature woman!" Sheldon thought to

himself.

What did a smart man like Tremaine see in her?

It was absolutely incomprehensible.

Sheldon glanced at Tremaine through the rearview mirror.

He sat in the backseat with his back straight. He was a handsome man, not a single flaw to be found in terms of his looks and figure.

Other than his hot temperament, he was nearly perfect. He should have been able to find someone beautiful, intelligent, and gentle. Yet he had picked Yesseca! What a shame!

Sheldon thought that if he were to fall in love and get married one day, he had to open his eyes wide to watch out for women like Yesseca and her idiotic friend Preslie! In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Preslie's place.

However, Tremaine didn't get out of the car.

Sheldon looked at Tremaine inquisitively.

His face was tensed.

He said, "You go up there and call Yesseca down.

Tell her we're heading back to Quartley Palace."

Sheldon did not say anything in reply.

He finally understood why Tremaine had asked him to drive. Tremaine wanted him to go after Yesseca because he himself couldn't set aside his ego. Sheldon was extremely unwilling to.

That being said, Tremaine was the president and his superior. Sheldon had no way to turn him down.

"Yes, sir." Sheldon's face was a picture of despair.

"Wait!" Tremaine suddenly called out to Sheldon.

Sheldon stopped in his tracks.

Tremaine frowned. "Sheldon, what was with that face?"

He had just seen the look of disdain on Sheldon's face after he gave him that order!

Sheldon responded seriously, "I wasn't pulling a face, sir."

"Smile!" Tremaine spat out.

Sheldon was speechless.

He forced out a smile.

With that, Tremaine was satisfied.

He said, "Sheldon, Yesseca is my woman. Any woman that is able to attract me has to be the most perfect woman in the world. You should be honoured that I'm giving you the opportunity to talk to the most perfect woman in the world." This time, Sheldon didn't need to force out a smile. He could feel a full-on laugh coming.

The most perfect woman in the world.

He really couldn't see it.

Tremaine waved a hand. "Run along."

The doorbell suddenly rang.

At that moment, Preslie was deep in her slumber. When she heard the doorbell, she got up to open the door in a daze.

Sheldon, dressed in his military uniform, stood at the door.

Preslie suddenly wasn't sleepy anymore.

Sheldon Hawls!

Mr. Hawls!

Why was he here?

As soon as the door opened, Sheldon's gaze first landed on Preslie's face. He glimpsed traces of saliva around her mouth.

Preslie often dreamed of food when she was asleep. Therefore, it was normal for her to have certain subconscious reactions to that while she slept.

Sheldon didn't say anything.

Inadvertently frowning, he cast his gaze downwards casually.

After all, he didn't want to look at a

face with saliva stains on it. It was better if he looked elsewhere.

However, when he looked

downwards, his pupils dilated in an instant.

Preslie had opened the door in a sleepy daze, so she didn't notice that two of the buttons of her pajama top were unbuttoned. Her pink bra was exposed to Sheldon.

Sheldon's face suddenly turned beet red.

He should have immediately shifted his gaze away, but it seemed to be frozen in place, and he kept staring.

Although Sheldon was an upright

man who had never had intimate

relations with a woman, he was stiff a hot-blooded young man, after all. It was normal for him to be stunned when temptation was right before his eyes.

Preslie had also noticed Sheldon's gaze.

She followed it and was scared out of her wits.

Oh God!

Why were the buttons of her shirt undone?

Preslie was about to fasten the buttons when she noticed that something was amiss.

Wait!

Was Sheldon staring at her chest?

No way!

How was that possible?

How could such an upright man as Sheldon peep at a woman's private parts!

Oh, no!

It wasn't peeping! He was looking at her openly!

How-how was that possible!

That completely subverted her impression of Sheldon.

As if bewitched, she blurted out, "Mr. Hawls, are-are you looking at me..."

Sheldon's Adam's apple bobbed. "Yeah."

Preslie's heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Oh Lord.

It was true!

This, this....

It took Preslie a long time to remember what she should prioritize at that moment.

What was she doing?

The most important thing was for her to button up her top!

Preslie frantically buttoned up her shirt.

The luscious sight in front of Sheldon had disappeared, leaving him with a sense of emptiness. But soon, a bone-chilling iciness ran down his spine.

What was he doing?!

He had actually stared at a woman's...

What's more, she was also the stupidest woman he had ever known!

For the first time in his life, Sheldon had the urge to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

Had he been possessed?

Preslie was feeling equally awkward.

She was about to lose her mind.

She'd actually asked if Sheldon was looking at her!

Was that what a chaste woman would do?

Of course not!
