My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 2230



If he were in her shoes.

If he had a brother, regardless of how close they were, should his brother give thanks to someone, but that person was distant and cold toward him, he would be upset as well.

Blood was thicker than water, after all.

With that notion, Sheldon withdrew his perfunctory and smiled warmly at Amelia.

Amelia was pleasantly surprised at the sudden change.

She knew it! She was still much more charming than Preslie!

If he could be nice to a fat and boring woman like her sister, then, needless to say, he would definitely treat a beauty like her better!

With that thought, the smile on Amelia's face grew more charming, and her coy voice could easily turn any man's bones soft.

Sheldon's bones, however, were far from soft.

Because he only had one thing in mind.

Now that he had returned the courtesy Amelia gave him, Preslie wouldn't be upset anymore.

Even though Preslie had stepped into the ward, she kept a close eye on the two of them outside.

Because of this, she almost had a heart attack.

Since she left for the ward, she noticed how much more enthusiastic Sheldon had become of Amelia, and his smile was even brighter than before! Preslie felt as though her heart had been stabbed.

It hurt terribly!

Sheldon never smiled like that whenever she spoke to him!

She remembered telling him how bad her relationship with Amelia was, yet he was still enthusiastic toward her sister. Was beauty truly more important than everything else?!

So much so even the righteous Mr. Hawls would fall for the whims of a beautiful woman?

Sadness and disappointment grew within her, and her heart ached even more.

It turned out their long friendship was no match for Amelia's charms and enchanting figure.

All men were the same after all. All of them want a beautiful woman!

No wonder Sheldon sent her home that night. It wasn't as Yesseca said; Sheldon was a righteous man, and he would've brought any woman, not just her, back to their homes.

The truth was obvious enough.

She was no beauty.

That was why Sheldon didn't even think of taking advantage of her!

The more she thought about it, the deeper the pain she felt in her heart.

Preslie forced herself to look away from the door, for it would only be the death of her.

Instead, she kept her eyes on her mother lying on the hospital bed.

Her mother was still unconscious, wrapped in several bandages on her head. She looked like a mummy.

Calter, on the other hand, was in a brilliant mood.

Because his wife survived.

With his excellent mood, Calter didn't argue with Preslie but even struck up a conversation with her instead.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

But Preslie wasn't having any of it.

She kept her head low and pretended not to have heard him.

Sheldon and Amelia chatted for quite some time, but he was beginning to lose his patience with her.

He began wondering...

"When will she stop talking?"

"Don't her cheeks hurt from all this smiling?"

He thought it was time for the conversation to end.

He already had a very long and cordial conversation with Amelia, so Preslie probably wouldn't be upset with him anymore.

He then said, "Miss Fernandez, it's been nice, but I have to go and see Preslie now."

"Mr. Hawls." Amelia tried to stop him from leaving, but Sheldon walked straight into the ward.

Preslie knew he came in.

But she pretended not to have noticed, keeping her head downcast in silence, not sparing him even a glance.

Salter, on the other hand, stood up and greeted Sheldon with great enthusiasm.

After exchanging pleasantries with him, Sheldon walked over to Preslie. He bent over and said, "Preslie, is your mother all right?"

All of the anger she had bottled up burst that moment.

She jerked her head up, eyes bloodshot as she cried, "She's fine! You can leave!"

Her reaction stumped him.

He thought her reaction was baffling.

Even if he was a little aloof toward Amelia earlier, she didn't need to be this angry at him, did she?

"Preslie, how can you speak to Mr.

Hawls like that?!" Calter said, looking disapprovingly at Preslie, "Mr. Hawls saved your mother's life; you should be grateful to him!" Content belongs fo

Preslie clenched her fists.

She knew Sheldon saved her mother.

She was also very grateful for him.

But she couldn't ignore the sadness and anger within her, thinking of how enthusiastic he was with Amelia!

With that, she turned her head away, refusing to look at Sheldon.

He, on the other hand, didn't know what to say.

Various thoughts crossed his mind right then.

He had indeed wanted to ignore Amelia when she went over to them earlier. Plus, Preslie had told him

e

how bad her relationship with her

sister

was, so he was rather

apathetic toward Amelia. But little

did he think Preslie would get upset.

So he made an effort to be nice to Amelia, yet she was still upset!

So it seemed Preslie held higher regard for Amelia than he imagined!

Sheldon was shocked!

No wonder people said women never said what they meant!

Preslie and Amelia were sisters after all; there was no way they could be on bad terms. The truth was, Preslie thought highly of Amelia, and she would be upset at whoever was the slightest aloof toward her sister.

Sheldon had wanted to explain himself, but seeing Calter was there as well, he thought he would leave the explanation for next time. "Alright, since your mother is fine, I'll leave now," Sheldon said to Preslie.

But she still didn't respond.

Though hesitant, Sheldon still walked away, but Amelia came in simultaneously.

Sheldon deliberately said goodbye to Amelia. All for Preslie's sake!

But little did he know, it was exactly that that got Preslie angry with tears.

She clenched her fists and desperately held back her tears.

Men were all pigs!

Preslie bit her lip.

What was there to be sad about?

Hadn't she known all along?

Men loved beautiful women! They would never fancy a boring, fat woman like her!

What was there to be angry about?

Was Mr. Hawls's wrong?!

She wasn't Mr. Hawls's somebody. And wasn't it logical for him to fall for her more beautiful sister and act more enthusiastic toward her?!

Sheldon didn't stay too long.

He left, but it wasn't over yet.

Because Amelia could see the look of disappointment on Preslie's face.

Women understood the inner thoughts of another woman best.

Amelia immediately understood why Preslie was upset.

She deliberately said to her father, "Dad, don't you think Mr. Hawls is genuine? He was very nice to me and even invited me to visit Nashaland."
