My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



It was only after she saw that it was Yesseca that she unfold her body from its curled position.

"Aunt," She called out.

Her voice was still just as small and frail as before.

"Do you still remember me?" Yesseca smiled.

She nodded vigorously. "Yes, I do. I still remember Aunt."

Yesseca glanced inside the kindergarten. "Are you studying here? Why don't you go in?"

Dory froze, immediately followed by an embarrassed look on her face as she replied, "Aunt, I don't study in this kindergarten."

"Then why are you here?" Yesseca asked subconsciously.

That day was a working day, it should be time for classes to start in kindergarten.

Dory didn't turn her head around.

Instead, she lowered it, feeling even more awkward, her long lashes fluttering something fierce.

Yesseca paused as a thought came to her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She then asked incredulously, "Do you not go to kindergarten?"

Dory frantically answered, "Next year, I'm only going next year, I'm not old enough yet."

Yesseca didn't think too much about it then.

After all, the age requirement to study in kindergarten wasn't fixed.

Moreover, in order to save money, some parents would indeed let their children go to school one year later.

When she saw that Yesseca didn't pick the conversation back up, Dory's face also gradually calmed down.

Her gaze then looked back inside the kindergarten, a trace of envy and hunger in her voice as she said, "Aunt, the children are playing very happily." Yesseca smiled, "When you go into kindergarten next time, you will also play as happily as they are."

A dim light flashed across Dory's eyes.

But like a dragonfly skimming over the water, it soon disappeared.

She then added, "Aunt, if I were in kindergarten, would the children be willing to play with me?" "Of course they will." Yesseca stroked Dory's head. "After all, you're so cute."

Dory lifted her face.

There was a trace of yearning in her large eyes, "Really?"

"Really."

Once she received Yesseca's affirmative reply, she immediately smiled.

She smiled very happily.

Yesseca also smiled together with her.

She guessed that Dory should be going into kindergarten next year. 'This child must be really excited to go', she thought.

"By the way, Auntie," Dory had only

something of utmost importance, her little face turned solemn

At the same time, it twisted into a complicated expression.

A mixture of guilt, embarrassment and uneasiness.

This cocktail of emotions was entangled together on her tiny little visage.

Dory touched her pocket and spoke uneasily. "The money you gave me last time, my...my mother took...took it away."

She quickly lowered her head afterward, not daring to look at her.

Yesseca chuckled.

She had given Dory money because she had expected that her family wasn't very well off.

For it to be taken away by her mother, it could be considered as satisfying her wish.

"Since it's been taken away, then it's taken away." Yesseca once again stroked Dory's head. "This money is originally for you."

"But..." Dory's hands tugged at the hem of her shirt uneasily. "I can't just simply take your money."

Her mother took this aunt's money. Dory felt that it wasn't right.

"It's nothing," Yesseca assured her. "I

Don't think too much about

Dory remained silent as continued to hunch into herself.

Yesseca thought for a moment and said, "Dory, does your family still need money? If so, I can give you a bit more. Just come with me to the store for a bit, okay?"

It was because she had no place to spend the money that she hardly kept cash on her person.

Dory became flustered when she heard this and immediately waved her hands, "No, I don't need it anymore, Aunt."

After she said that, afraid that Yesseca would force the money on her like last time, she hurriedly mentioned that she needed to return home.
