My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"Mr. Hawls, please try your best to persuade His Excellency to agree to the political marriage with Princess Navidia before Megeland's president visits." Sheldon was speechless.

Why was this his job?

Why should he be the one to convince Tremaine?!

With that, Sheldon said, "Mr. Welmert, why do you need me to do the persuading?"

"Because you are the closest person to His Excellency."

Sheldon said, "Mr. Welmert, you're a Nashsaland's senior statesman, and you have watched His Excellency grow up. I think His Excellency would be more willing to listen to you, so why don't you persuade His Excellency?" Hogan said, "Of course, I will do my part. But Mr. Hawls, it would be better if we cooperate for the sake of Nashaland and its people. We must convince His Excellency."

Sheldon did not know what to say.

It was too heavy a responsibility for him.

After a moment, he responded, "Have you never

considered retirement at this age?"

Only then did he understand why Tremaine hated dealing with Hogan.

It was because Hogan liked pushing responsibilities to others and giving them pressure.

Hogan sounded ambitious over the call. "Mr. Hawls, how could I retire now? I swore to serve Nashaland until my last breath. Even if I am on the verge of dying, I will fulfill my duty to repay all the ancestors that built our land." Sheldon felt like he had a headache coming.

He sat on the sofa, troubled after hanging up the call with Hogan.

He did not notice that there was a crack in the door of his bedroom.

Preslie had been eavesdropping as she stared at Sheldon.

She had heard him pick up the call, and from his conversation, she heard something about His Excellency, Navidia, the president of Megeland, and marriage of state. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.

This led to her thinking that something bad was going to happen.

After waiting for some time, she pushed the door

and walked in.

"Mr. Hawls, were you on the phone?"

Sheldon's mind was in a mess, and so he said yes without knowing it.

"I think I hear you saying something about the president of Megeland. Is he visiting?" she asked nervously.

He said, "Yes, he'll be here to propose a marriage of state."

All of a sudden, Preslie's eyes widened.

At this time, Sheldon also found that he had let the cat out of the bag.

He felt the pressure on his temples growing.

How could he say this to her?

Preslie's way of thought was the same as her best friend's. If she told Yesseca about this, a disaster would happen.

Meanwhile, Preslie was getting emotional. "For a marriage of state? Does that mean His Excellency is going to marry Navidia? What about Yesseca?" Sheldon fell silent.

While looking at her nervous face, a glimmer of hope sparkled in his eyes.

He suddenly thought of a way.

With that, he stood up.

And he approached her.

Stunned, she stood still.

She was nervous to see a man coming closer to her.

Subconsciously, she took a step back, but he stepped closer to her. It continued until her back was against the wall.

She looked at him, asking meekly, "W-What are you doing?"

However, he didn't answer her as he stared at her.

She felt her mouth go dry.

Suddenly, she remembered the plot she saw in the movie.

It was a scene of a man and a woman left in a room. At midnight, the man turned into a beast and jumped at the woman.

Was Sheldon going to do something like that too?

Preslie said nervously, "Please be rational."

But he said nothing.

He narrowed his eyes.

He did not expect her to be smarter than he had thought. She had already guessed his thoughts before he said anything.

He said in a low voice, "I have a thought, and I need your help with it."

There was no response from her.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Wasn't he a little too straightforward?

After all, it was similar to the scene when

Preslie's face immediately turned red.

Then, she said with a sad face, "I have never done such a thing before."

"It doesn't matter. I'll teach you," Sheldon said.

Right then, she could hear nothing but the thumping of her heart.

It was growing louder and louder.

Her legs were becoming weak too.

She had always thought that he a serious man, and nothing

But she was still wrong.

A man was still a man, after all.

Men were beasts, and it was a fact.

At this moment, Preslie was wondering what she should do.

Should she allow Sheldon have his way with her?

It was not impossible.

After all, she had always thought that he was handsome, especially when he was in his uniform.

Just then, she stopped herself from thinking any further.

How could she have such thoughts? She was a lady!

Did she know no shame?

But what should she do when he had asked her for help?

Finally, Preslie gritted her teeth.

She looked at Sheldon and said, "I don't think I could do this. Can I use my hand instead?"

This was the best she could do.

Any further was too much.

His mind went blank.

He looked at her, confused. "Your hand? It wouldn't be enough. You have to use your mouth."

In his head, he was thinking of asking her to speak to Yesseca.

This time, it was Preslie's turn to go blank.

She felt her face turning red.

She shouldn't have judged a book by its cover.

So this was his true self.

A serious man like him was so wild inside.

She shook her head desperately,

saying "can't do that. It's too for me. I refuse."

Sheldon thought so too.

It would not be easy to convince Preslie.

He tried to tempt her. "Do you want to be promoted?"

Hearing his words, she stared right at him.

If one looked closer, one could nothing how large her pupils were dilating.

"God, he is trying to woo me with a promotion," she yelled inside.

How could he do this?

She admitted that she was tempted.

However, his nearing face was what was tempting her instead of the promotion.

Just then, Preslie gulped hard.

How could Sheldon be so handsome?

She would be glad if something happened between them.

However, she suppressed the thought immediately.

How could she think so?

Shameless!

She couldn't possibly agree.

She was a woman with high morals. How could she be easily seduced by a man?

Preslie said righteously, "Mr. Hawls, don't try to sweet-talk me. I am no easy woman!"
