My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



Preslie then said, "Is that why you've come here Mr. Hawls?"

Sheldon didn't think it was a good time to tell her his mission.

He could see that she was already dealing with a lot right now.

Even if he did tell Preslie, she wouldn't be able to comfort Yesseca.

She was already having enough trouble taking care of herself right now.

Therefore, Sheldon decided to put the mission Tremaine gave him aside for now. He would wait until Preslie was in a much better mood. Sheldon then replied casually, "I called you. Yesseca answered your phone. She said that you weren't alright, so I came over immediately." After a brief pause, Sheldon said, "Don't worry so much about it. It's not your fault for having a family like them. You don't have to be sad or blame yourself for any of this. If something like this happens again, call me and I'll help you resolve it. Don't just bear everything by yourself."

Preslie didn't say anything. Her heart was in a lot of pain and her eyes showed just how sad and rattled she was.

Seeing her like this, Sheldon's heart ached badly. He couldn't help but feel trapped. He wished he could hold Preslie in his arms.

Then, he couldn't help himself anymore and reached out his hand to her.

He had wanted to place his hand on her face, but he quickly caught himself in time and brought his hand down on her head instead. Sheldon patted her head and said, "Preslie, listen to me. Don't be upset."

Sheldon then quickly brought his hand back.

He felt his face getting warm.

Even though he had just touched her head, Sheldon felt very embarrassed.

Preslie noticed how quickly he took his hand away from her.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She was shocked.

She knew that Sheldon had patted her on the head to comfort her, but why did he withdraw his hand so quickly?

Did he dislike her that much?

Just then, she recalled what her mother, Celine, had said.

Her mother said that she was ugly and that Sheldon disliked her. She said that even if she gave her to him for free, he wouldn't want her. Preslie looked down on the floor and felt jealous.

She didn't want to say it, but she did anyway. "Mr. Hawls, even if my family comes looking for me again, you wouldn't help me."

"That's impossible," Sheldon replied immediately. "Of course I'll help you!"

"No," Preslie muttered. "It's not just my parents. My sister Amelia is also causing me a lot of trouble. That's how I know you'd never help me!" Sheldon was quiet.

He was very confused.

He had no idea what Prelsie meant.

Sheldon said, "If Amelia is causing you trouble, I'll help you. It doesn't matter who it is, if they're going to be a problem to you, I will help you."

Preslie held her breath.

She then looked up and saw Sheldon look at her.

His eyes looked brilliant and dignified. There was a feeling of solemn certainty in them.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly looked down and

whispered, "But Mr. Hawls, Amelia is a very beautiful woman. Are you willing to offend a beautiful woman for my sake?" This caused Sheldon to burst out laughing.

What was she talking about?

He immediately replied, "First of all, I've already met your sister. I don't find anything special about her appearance. On top of that, I don't think you're unattractive. I think you're very cute, leagues more than your sister...I'm serious."
