My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 1987



When she'd wanted to cook for Tremaine in Quartley Palace, she would personally go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and make every dish for him by herself.

Tremaine had enjoyed the dishes she cooked.

A smile would flash across Yesseca's eyes whenever she saw how much he appreciated her food.

Now, those happy moments had gone up in smoke.

Yesseca felt her heart hurting severely.

She sniffed and forced herself to stop thinking about it.

Tremaine had dumped her, and even avoided her without an explanation. What else could she want from him?

Although she told herself so, he kept appearing in her mind.

Yesseca grabbed her thigh tightly.

How could she be so spineless!

How could she be so weak!

Yesseca stood up and walked to the window. She opened the small windowpane of the apartment and looked outside.

The weather that day was cloudy and grey.

Yesseca looked at the murky sky and muttered, "Lothar, you saw it, didn't you? I'm not married yet. He doesn't want me anymore. He abandoned me. But Lothar, don't be sad. I'll get better."

"I haven't shed a single tear. I can do the groceries and cook for myself. I am living well, and I am not affected."

"Lothar, you told me that we should live our life with dignity and without shame. Since he doesn't want me. I will live well. Don't worry about me. I'll have a wonderful life..."

Even though she those very words herself, Yesseca's eyes turned red.

Her throat was choked up.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Yesseca opened the door. The person standing at the door was a surprise to her.

Matthew stood at the door.

Yesseca was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses.

She stuttered, "M-Matthew, why are you here?"

Matthew glanced at the dilapidated apartment and had a bad feeling. He said, "Yesseca, is there something wrong?" "No, nothing." Yesseca denied.

But Matthew was observant and picked up the strange expression on Yesseca's face.

He lowered his voice. "Yesseca, tell me the truth. Is there something wrong? Is there anything going on between you and Tremaine?"

"No, nothing's wrong."

"Yesseca, if you still regard me as your family, please tell me!"

Yesseca bit her lip forcefully. After a moment, she said dryly, "I'll tell you everything, but you can't say a word to Selina. She is still resting, she'll be in poor health once she knows."

Yesseca finished telling Matthew everything that had happened.

Hearing her speak, Matthew's eyes were swirling with emotions.

According to Yesseca, when the birth mother of Tremaine's son suddenly appeared at the wedding, Tremaine had changed his mind and decided not to marry Yesseca.

He had even started avoiding her like the plague.

However, this was just Yesseca's skewed point of view.

Matthew felt like things weren't that simple.

Before investigating thoroughly, Matthew could not make a final judgment.

He looked at Yesseca and and saw how terrible she looked. She was thinner, and her already small face appeared even more boney.

Matthew immediately made a decision.

He decided not to think too much about it and bring Yesseca out of this place. After taking good care of Yesseca, he would start looking for Tremaine and demand his side of his story.

Matthew said, "Yesseca, come back to Agaphen City with me first. Let's talk about it more when you head back."

Yesseca's eyes flashed with hesitation.

She did not want to stay in Nashaland.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After all, with the way she and Tremaine turned out, what reason was there for her to stay in Nashaland?

Nashaland was a pain inducing place for her.

However, she didn't want to go back to Agaphen City because she was afraid that Matthew and Selina would know about it, and she was worried Selina's health would be affected.

Yesseca did not say anything, but Matthew had already guessed what Yesseca was thinking.

He immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Selina anything about this. When you return to Agaphen City, she won't know for the time being. I'll keep this from her."

Yesseca didn't want Selina worrying about her.

Similarly, Matthew did not want Selina to be too concerned.

If Selena found out about what had happened, who knows how anxious she would be.

Matthew decided he would definitely have to hide this from her for a while.

Hearing what Matthew said, Yesseca let out a sigh of relief.

She nodded. "I'll go back with you. You have to help me hide it from Selina."

Before going to Agaphen City, Yesseca went to the restaurant where Ruth worked at.

She wanted to say goodbye to Ruth.

When she arrived, she saw Ruth heaving a big plate onto a table. Seeing the scene, Yesseca immediately went forward to help.

Ruth immediately said, "Yesseca, get out of the way. You can't move such a heavy thing."

Yesseca still reached out her hand to help. When her hand cupped the bottom of the pot, she really felt that the pot was really heavy.

After setting it on the table, Yesseca brought Ruth to the side.

She said, "Ruth, you'd better change your job. You're so skinny, carrying such heavy things must be very tiring for you. You should find an easier one."

It was only today when Yesseca help Ruth lift plates did she realize how heavy it could be.

How could Ruth bear to carry such heavy items every day?

Ruth shook her head and said, "Yesseca, it's not heavy. I'm used to it."

"Ruth, you..."

Before Yesseca could finish, she

was interrupted by Ruth. She laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is my cousin's shop. How could my cousins let me endure such hardship? It's really not heavy. I just carry it occasionally, it's not all the time."

There were some things that Ruth did not want to say to Yesseca.

She was afraid that Yesseca would be worried.

She carried heavy things, but she had no choice.

She had been working as Yuliana's servant. She had no social connections or work experience, which meant that she couldn't find any other jobs to work at. Other than helping out and working at her

relative's restaurant, Ruth

really

didn't know where else to go.

Hearing Ruth's words, Yesseca stopped.

What Ruth said made sense.

After all, this was Ruth's cousin's shop. She would not treat Ruth badly.

If Ruth were to work elsewhere, she would definitely be unable to find a place like in her cousin's restaurant.

Yesseca said, "But in the future, you shouldn't carry such heavy stuff. Tell your cousin to have you carry something lighter."

Ruth nodded.

Ruth didn't want Yesseca to continue on this topic, so she changed the topic. "Why did you come over so suddenly?"

Yesseca said, "Ruth, I'm here to say goodbye. I'm leaving Nashalad today. I am returning to my hometown."

Ruth was stunned.

Yesseca gave Ruth a hug and said, "Ruth, take care of yourself in the future."

Although Ruth had left Quartley

Palace because of certain incidents,

Yesseca could not hate Ruth. She

still saw Ruth as her friend, otherwise she wouldn't have been

living with her.
