My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 2193



"How can I make her happy? How can I make the old, happy-go-lucky Yesseca come back again?"

"Lothar, I swear I've really exhausted all avenues. I'd invite Yesseca over everyday for meals, I'd let Erine make her favorite dishes, I'd even hired short play performers to put on a show for her amusement."

"She may have smiled, but I know it wasn't a real one. It was only skin-deep, when in actuality she's miserable inside. In the end, I'm that close to losing all hope.

"I thought that I was a real failure, that I don't even have the ability to make people truly be happy. But Lothar, did you know?" Selina paused then, a smile surfaced on her lips. "I may be a failure, but your sister isn't. I really didn't expect her to come through on her own."

"She's beginning to get busier by the day. She doesn't even have time to eat at my place during the night. She told me that she did her own baking at home because many of her colleagues like to eat the desserts she made. There's even a lot of people who wanted to buy it. She no longer has the time to come over since she had her hands full."

"At first, I didn't want her to do it. But later, it was your brother-in-law who reminded me. 'Didn't you see how Yesseca's eyes are no longer dim?', he said. When he pointed this out to me, it was only then I realised that her eyes were truly no longer as dispirited as before. There was even a smile on her face. When she mentioned that many people liked to eat the desserts she made, when she worked to the point where she couldn't even tell left from right, she smiled."

"That smile is no longer a fake one from the past, but from the bottom of her heart."

"Just a while ago, Yesseca told me that she was going to open a patisserie because there were too many people who liked her desserts. It has reached a stage where those who loved her pastries are no longer satisfied with it being homemade. After I heard her proposal, I decided to help her."

"I know she will be busy when she establishes her shop, that she will definitely be exhausted. If it were me, I would definitely feel sorry for her and forbid her from opening her own patisserie. However, now I had no doubts at all, because sometimes being busy is the best way to make people forget the pain."

"Moreover, Yesseca is not merely busy. She had found her calling. She loves it and wants to work harder for it, which is why as her fellow sister, I must do my best to help her!"

A sweet smile appeared on Selina's face again.

She then lowered her head, her gaze swept across her surroundings.

The area was crowded with people. From time to time, sounds of conversation could be heard. It was compliments given by those who had eaten the desserts that Yesseca and Preslie had given to them for free.

"This dessert is really good. My taste buds are very selective and the ingredients they use are particularly exquisite. I can taste it within one bite."

"I thought that with this kind of free dessert it would be a low-cost plant-based cream cake, but I didn't expect it to not only be so high-quality, but also delicious. This shop has my recommendation, I need to top up my prepaid card!"

"Come on, you can't do that today. Did you not see the crowd? Better come back the next day to top up!"

"I also want to top up. I swear that this is the best dessert I've ever eaten. If their free dessert could be so delicious, imagine the ones being sold!" "Didn't you notice that these desserts were especially well made? The owner had crafted it with such care, they definitely hold an ingenious spirit. There are very few people nowadays who are that diligent in making desserts in this impetuous society. I've decided, in the future if I want to buy desserts I will come to this patisserie.

As she listened to the praises and exclamations from the crowd, Selina's eyes grew hot all of a sudden.

She swallowed hard and then said with a tremulous smile, "Lothar, did you see that? A lot of people came here not only because of me, but also because they truly loved the desserts that Yesseca made. I'm suddenly very proud to have such a sister by my side. She may look slight and frail, but she actually held this much strength. After experiencing the pain of love, she could still bravely move forward to find her own career path, and be this well-liked by the people."

"I always thought that Yesseca needed my protection, but now I came to a sudden realisation that I'm actually not as good as Yesseca. I think if I had suffered such a serious grievance, I wouldn't be able to pull through. I would have fallen deep into the depths of pain of my own making."

"Lothar, from today onwards, Yesseca will be my role model." She fixed her gaze towards the sky once more. "As for you, you must also be proud to have such a person as your sister."

After a long while, Matthew finally walked over towards her.

When he saw that Matthew had come over, Kylin followed suit.

Matthew pulled Selina into his arms by her slender waist, his voice gentle as he spoke, "Baby girl, are you done with your talk?"

She smiled warmly, "I'm done."

The conversation byplay between Matthew and Selina completely befuddles Kylin.

"Selina, who were you talking to?" he asked. "To the sky? Do you need to go to the hospital and get yourself checked By the way," He turned to his brother-in-law with a strange look in his eyes. "Matthew, I feel that you are acting strange today too."

A glimmer of amusement shone in Selina's eyes.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Kylin may not comprehend what's going on with her, but Matthew did.

She had just looked up to the sky and Matthew already understood her actions meant that she had a lot to say to Lothar.

Apart from Matthew, no one else in the world

knew her so well, including her parents.

"Aside from that, Selina, you are no longer a baby girl now." Kyi in was a standard straightlaced man. When he heard Matthew call her his love, it felt wrong no matter how he listened to it.

Although his cousin was quite young, she was still in her thirties. There was no relation between her and a little girl at all.

Selina smacked Kyi in straight up the head when she heard what he said. "I am a baby girl! How about that! Can't I be one!"

Kyi in,"..."

Matthew tightened his hold on her, a hint of amusement in his warm voice, "Your sister will always be a little girl in my heart, probably even when she reaches eighty years old."

Selina stood on tiptoes and pecked him on the cheek. "Uncle, thank you for always doting on me."

She then raised her brows smugly at Kylin.

Kyi in:"..."

It felt as if he'd been fed with a belly full of dog food. Her earlier weird behavior of talking towards the sky took a back seat in his mind. He just took quick strides away to save himself from being submitted to more lovey-dovey acts from this couple.

Kylin ambled up towards a spot where there were less people, his gaze immediately zeroed in on Yesseca amongst the crowd.

A busy Yesseca.

A happy Yesseca

A Yesseca that was full of smiles.

Kyi in's face was awashed with relief.

Yesseca had finally made it through.

Though they had been in Agaphen City for a while now, there was no progress between him and Yesseca. She had also made it clear to him that what they had could not lead to

romance, but that was not

something he cared too much about.

What he cared about the most was her being able to walk out of the dark part of her life.

As for other things, they weren't important.

For to love someone was not to possess, but to make her happy.

"Yesseca, you finally made it out on your own. I'm really happy," Kylin mumbled to himself.

Yet after a time that passed by in a flash, Yesseca disappeared.
