My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

He thought, "Why is Mom here?"

"Let her in," Tobias said in a calm tone.

After a while, Cecilia came in.

"Mom," Tobias stood up and said in a respectful tone.

Cecilia nodded and gestured for Tobias to sit down. At the same time, she sat on the sofa across from him.

"Tobias, I'm here to talk to you about Natalie," Cecilia opened her mouth.

Tobias had expected it.

"Mom, go ahead." Tobias's tone was still calm and emotionless.

"Tobias, Natalie is a good girl. I hope you are sincere about her." Cecilia stared into his eyes.

Tobias was stunned.

"Mom, how do you know that I'm not sincere about her?" Tobias looked into Cecilia's eyes and asked.

Cecilia's eyes flickered and she answered, "I'm afraid that you can't forget the past."

"Mom, I've never been a nostalgic person. I only cherish the present. You think too much," he said in a low voice.

Cecilia stood up and said, "I do hope that's the case, Tobias. I have to go back, so that's all for now."

"Mom, I'll take you to the airport," Tobias stood up and said.

"There's no need for you to do that." Cecilia looked hard at Tobias. "You should think more about Natalie and not me."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Tobias's eyes. He replied, "Mom, I have spent a lot of time thinking about her. Don't worry about that."

Cecilia nodded. "That's good."

Tobias saw Cecilia off from YS Group and instructed Benjamin to send her to the airport.

Before the car left, Tobias looked at Cecilia and said, "Mom, I have forgotten everything about the past. Natalie is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with."

A hint of a smile appeared in Cecilia's eyes.

She felt at ease after hearing Tobias' words.

Tobias was her son, so she knew him well.

In the afternoon, Natalie received a call from Tobias.

Natalie turned a blind eye to the call.

Though the phone calls came one after another, Natalie still ignored them.

Then, a loud message tone rang.

Natalie's breathing hitched.

Since the text message must be from Tobias, she knew that she should not read it, as she thought that she had no interest in his messages.

However, she could not calm herself down. She had to read the content of the text message to do so.

Natalie had no guts to look at it.

She unlocked her phone and saw the text message.

"Honey, are you still angry at me?"

Natalie threw her phone onto the sofa.

Honey? Who said that he could call her that?

Cecilia even said that Tobias was just like his father, that they both were not good at expressing their feelings.

Would a man who was not good at expressing his feelings address a woman so sweetly as 'honey¹?

She thought, "Tobias must be experienced in relationships! Otherwise, how could he make me fall head over heels in love with him in such a short amount of time?"

She was not her previous self anymore. She had become so unreasonable.

At that moment, the cheerful ringtone rang again.

Natalie picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Tobias, I want to tell you that I am not your 'honey'!" Natalie's tone sounded very harsh.

In stark contrast, Tobias' tone was still very calm.

"Then you're my woman."

"No, I am not your woman!" Natalie retorted angrily.

"Well, then you are my wife."

"No, I'm not your wife."

"Natalie, we live together and have a marriage certificate. Who are you if you're not my wife? Huh?" Tobias asked.

Natalie was stunned.

"We're just pretending to be a married couple," she answered stubbornly.

Natalie herself knew that these words could not be faked anymore.

"Natalie, don't lie to me, and don't lie to yourself," Tobias said in a low voice.

Natalie blinked repeatedly.

"Yes, I can't fool myself," Natalie suddenly said.

Her voice was very low when she said, "I can't fool myself!"

After she said that, she hung up the call.

On the other end of the line, Tobias wanted to call her back, but he didn't do it in the end.

He did not expect that it would turn out like this.

At first, Tobias held back his desire for Natalie after what Simon told him.

Later, they did not have s*x because Natalie was on her period.

Then, Jack came to him and accused him of treating Natalie as a rebound, hence he was in a bad mood.

That night, Tobias was really not in the mood for s*x.

Nonetheless, he didn't expect Natalie to misunderstand him.

There seemed to be a fire flashing in Tobias' eyes.

He knew that he had walked into Natalie's heart, but due to the recent incident, he was not so sure anymore.

The fire in Tobias' eyes died down and eventually disappeared.

When Aunt Lee came back to prepare dinner, she saw Natalie lying on the sofa. She was staring at the ceiling lights mindlessly.

"Miss Godfrey," Aunt Lee walked over to Natalie and said.

Only then did Natalie turn her gaze on Aunt Lee and said in a low voice, "Aunt Lee, you're back."

Aunt Lee knew a little about what happened between Natalie and Tobias. She heard them that night, but it was not right for her, a maid, to come in their way.

Since only Natalie and Tobias would be living in the apartment, Aunt Lee felt that she had to say a few words.

"Miss Godfrey, I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Whitlock, but I know a lot of things and I see a lot of things too. Mr. Whitlock treats you sincerely," Aunt Lee rambled.

As Natalie listened to her, she blinked repeatedly.

"Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock is definitely a man who is worthy of your love and appreciation," Aunt Lee concluded.

Natalie looked up with a faint smile on her lips and said, "Aunt Lee, I got it."

Aunt Lee nodded and looked at Natalie with concern. "Miss Godfrey, I'll go back to work."

When Aunt Lee prepared dinner, Natalie struggled to get up.

She didn't have much appetite for dinner, but she didn't want Aunt Lee to worry about her.

As soon as she sat at the dining table, Tobias came back.

He held a box in his hand.

Natalie did not look at him until he placed the box in front of her.

"If you don't have any appetite, you should try this as it might be better," Tobias said faintly and gently.

Natalie was stunned.

How did Tobias know that she didn't have any appetite?
