My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 218

Though Tobias was asking for his wife's sake, Jack did not want to revisit his old wounds.

Tobias restrained his emotions.

"Mr. Perry, where is the girl now?"

Tobias knew the answer.

He was curious. Since Jack was willing to take the fall for Natalie, why did he not look for her after returning from Europe?

Jack was shocked and his face turned pale.

"She's dead," Jack said slowly, "I tried looking for her when I came back, but her mum told me she was dead."

Tobias narrowed his eyes.

"Mr. Perry, have you ever doubted her mother's words?"

Jack had no doubts, and he smiled mockingly, "Her mother is extremely greedy. She knew who I was when I went looking for her. If it wasn't true, her mother would never have lied to me about her death because she could have gotten a fortune from me."

Tobias remained silent for a long time.

"Goodbye, Mr. Perry. What happened in the past stays in the past. You don't have to think too much about it."

Jack nodded at Tobias and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Whitlock."

Tobias walked out of the room and looked for Natalie.

Natalie was eating durian at the buffet.

Everyone tried to avoid the smell and not sit near her as they disliked the strong smell of the durian.

Whereas Natalie enjoyed the durian happily despite the smell.

Tobias's eyes lit up.

He saw the bright smile on Natalie's face.

Right then, he decided to give up finding answers.

He did not want to know why Natalie's butt had a scar.

He did not want to know why Natalie's mother lied to Jack.

He already knew the truth and there was no point for him to search for more answers.

Natalie was living a good life and that was enough. Her pain and trauma should stay in the past.

The men who wanted to take advantage of her were dead. The only thing he had to do now was to destroy the organization for good to prevent them from hurting more young girls.

Everything else should stay concealed.

He was not a part of Natalie's past.

What he could give her was a future.

"Natalie," Tobias walked towards her.

He didn't seem to care about the overbearing smell.

Natalie raised her head and saw Tobias.

She smiled happily. "This is my first time eating durian. It's so delicious! I didn't expect it to be so good."

Tobias said with a faint smile, "Let's get off the ship."

Natalie blinked and asked, "Are we leaving already?"

She looked at the durian on her table and continued reluctantly, "I haven't eaten enough of the durians!"

"I'll buy you as many durians as you want when we get back," Tobias looked at Natalie with a hint of affection in his eyes.

"Really?" Natalie's eyes lit up.

"When did I ever lie to you?"

Natalie got up and said, "Tobias, you're the best."

Tobias looked at Natalie indifferently, "I think you should say, 'Hubby, you're the best!'" Natalie's face blushed instantly.

She changed the subject, "Let's get off the cruise."

Tobias wanted to leave as soon as possible to prevent Natalie from meeting Jack.

Tobias was not threatened by Jack and Natalie's relationship when they were younger.

He was confident that no one could steal his wife away.

However, he was afraid that Natalie would recall the memories of her past if she saw Jack.

He wanted Natalie to forget about her past. He would give her the best future and she had no reason to dwell in the past. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

As the Princess Cruise was set to sail for a week, Tobias instructed Benjamin to pick them up in another cruise ship.

Tobias held Natalie's hand and walked out of the deck.

The Princess Cruise was huge and it took them some time to get off.

Natalie continued, "I thought that you were popular among the ladies. I didn't expect myself to be popular among men too!"

After saying that, Natalie burst out with laughter.

Tobias' lips twitched.

"Let me tell you something. A really handsome guy tried to hit on me in the restaurant. He even told me that I looked like an old friend of his."

Tobias hitched his breath.

Did Jack already meet Natalie, but he could not recognize her?

He observed Natalie. She was as happy as ever; there was nothing strange about her.

Tobias let out a sigh of relief.

Jack did not evoke Natalie's traumatic memories.

"Mr. Whitlock." A crisp voice rang.

It was Jack.

He was walking over and saw Tobias.

He decided to greet Tobias as they have interacted before.

Tobias stopped.

Natalie froze when she saw Jack.

"Tobias, look! He was the person who talked to me!" Natalie said to Tobias in a low voice.

Tobias frowned.

He said, "Natalie, you can leave. I have some unfinished business."

His words was soft, but Jack heard his words.

He was startled as he looked at Natalie.

Jack's eyes were perplexed, "Natalie? Is your name not Chloe?"

Natalie laughed and said, "Chloe is my nickname. My name is Natalie."

Natalie scurried off after she finished.

She felt embarrassed as Jack caught her lie.

Jack's body stiffened.

A little girl's face appeared in Jack's mind. She had a small face and a pair of dark eyes, She looked exactly like the woman who scurried off.

Her name was also Natalie.

Moreover, Tobias asked him about the incident out of the blue and mentioned that it was for his wife's sake.

Could it be?

Jack shuddered and he looked at Tobias in disbelief.

"She is Natalie! Oh my! She's alive!"

Tobias's brows knitted tightly.

He warned in a light tone, "Mr. Perry, she is not who you think she is. Please mind your words. She is my wife."

Jack took a few steps back.

He never expected Natalie to be alive.

Madison told him that after she took Natalie away, Natalie ran in the streets like a madman. Then, she got hit by a car and died.

He did not doubt what Madison said.

Madison was money-minded. If she handed Natalie over to him, she could've earned a fortune. For the money, she would not have lied to him.

Furthermore, he remembered vividly the madness in Natalie's eyes when she killed the men. Madison's story was somewhat credible after what Natalie had been through.

He did not expect that the story he was so sure of to turn out to be a lie.
