My Heart only Beats for You

"lI understand." Sheldon said, "But | hope that you will help me. It is important to me."

Now that Hogan shoved such a heavy responsibility to him, he had to do as told. Otherwise, he would feel sorry

for Nashaland and its people.

But Tremaine was such a stubborn person.

He was so sure of Yesseca.

Therefore, Sheldon had to start by persuading Yesseca.

And to do that, he had to start with Yesseca's close friend and get Preslie on his side. This way, he could ask

Preslie to convince Yesseca, and it would be more effective than him persuading Yesseca. Just then, Preslie was

shaking as she said, "You can solve it by your own means, can't you?"

Wasn't it said that this was how all men did it?

With a solemn look on his face, Sheldon said, "It's too tricky. | really need your help."

Hearing his words, she locked her eyes with his.

And her eyes were turning misty.

What should she do?

Anxious, she continued to ask, "Why don't you find someone else? | have no experience. I'm sure others can help

you just fine."

"I can only rely on you for this." Staring at her, he said, "I can't ask anyone else but you."

Her heart skipped a beat.

Was this all true? Or just her imagination?

Did he say he could only rely on her?

How could this be true?

Was she that important to him?

Preslie struggled to swallow. Her throat was dry, and her body was burning. It was like he had set her on fire.

Just then, she blurted out, "Do you remember the first twe met? You were so handsin a suit. At that

time, | wondered how could there be such a handsman." "When we met again, you were in your military

uniform, and it looked better than the first. You looked just like those men in the army in the | read. | was

so stunned." She had never said such things to Sheldon before.

Knowing how important she was to him, she felt the urge to tell him all about this.

However, he was confused.

He didn't understand why she had brought this up.

And he was in no mood to listen.

With that, he said, "Let's get down to business."

Preslie fell silent.

There was a flicker of disappointment in her eyes.

She had so much to say to Sheldon, but it seemed like he was not interested in hearing them. And he even

wanted to go straight to business.

Could it be that all men were this impatient when it cto sex?

Disappointed as she was, she said, "Forget about it. I've never been in a relationship, and | don't know how to do

anything of that stuff."

The more he listened, the more confused he was.

What does this have to do with being in a relationship?

He stared at her, "You have to helpwith this. Please. It's important."

Hearing the word please, she felt her heart beating again.

Suddenly, she felt sorry for refusing him.

Her eyes flashed with hesitation.

She thought that he must be very upset.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have begged her.

Sheldon had helped her many times before, and this was the first the had asked her for help. Even if she had

never thought of giving herself to just anyone, Preslie could not ignore his pleading. She was debating in her

head.

And finally, she bit her lip, deciding to just go with it.

With that, she extended her arm towards him.

This was the most she could offer and was willing to do. All she wanted was to help him with his needs.

Meanwhile, he looked at her as she and her extended arm.

The next second, he froze.

What was she doing?!

Although Preslie had decided to go for it, she was trembling in fear as she reached out. Subsequently, she

retracted her hand as she looked at Sheldon with a bright red face. "I-1 don't think | can help you."

After saying that, she ran out of the room.

This was just too embarrassing.

And she couldn't bring herself to do it.

After a minute, Sheldon finally cback to his senses.

His face turned red, followed by his body at lightning speed.

Thinking of what Preslie had done, he felt his body burning with desire.

What was she doing?

Just then, he was feeling a little dizzy from what had just happened.

He turned to the fridge to take a can of soda.

As the soda settled in his belly, he sobered up a bit.

Sheldon recalled the conversation with her earlier. Suddenly, something flashed across his mind.

When he was talking with her, he hadn't noticed.

But when he thought about it again, he realized something wrong with it.

Preslie must have misunderstood him.

He was sure of it.

Just then, he finally realized why she

had

never been in a

l.ne

relationship and had no experien

It turned out that he had misled her to think of something else since the very beginning.

Sheldon's face started heating up.

How could he realize it only now?

Blaming himself for his mistake, he decided to look for Preslie to explain it to her.

He couldn't let her misunderstand.

He was a gentleman, and he didn't want her thinking of him as a beast.

When he reached her room, he knocked on her door.

Inside the bedroom, Preslie was sitting on her bed.

She felt as if she was in a fire pit, and her body was heating up.

Oh God!

That was the boldest move she had ever done.

How could she reach out and touch his...

Right at this moment, someone knocked on her door.

Her body tensed.

How could she not know what was at her door.

All of a sudden, Preslie becnervous.

What should she do?

Sheldon had clooking for her.

Why was he here now?

She decided to ignore it, but the knocking continued.

Just then, she was on the verge of tears.

Why did she have to grab him just now? How could she face him now?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The knocks on the door grew more urgent.

Preslie finally stood up.

She could not hide in her bedroom forever. She would have to face Sheldon one way or another.

Taking a deep breath, she walked to the bedroom door.

The door opened.

Their eyes met.

Both Preslie and Sheldon felt so embarrassed, wanting the earth to swallow them whole.

At first, he wanted to explain it to her. But when he saw her, he started blushing, and his body was burning too.

He opened his mouths, but no words cout of it.

He turned to the fridge.

He needed another cold beverage to be able to explain it now.
