My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Natalie woke up in the middle of the night, and her face was covered with tears.

She stared at the darkness in her big bedroom and couldn't help crying out loud as if she had finally let go of her disguise.

In fact, even if she seemed unfazed on the outside, she would still be saddened by certain things.

When she was watching the documentary, that was the first time she had the urge to cry.

However, she had been holding back her tears at that time.

She convinced herself that she was not the most pitiful person in the world. Many people suffered the same tragic fate as her. Why should she cry?

Despite that, when night came, and when she woke up from a nightmare, she finally couldn't control her emotions anymore.

Late at night, Tobias walked towards Natalie's room with a bottle of ointment in his hand.

The moonlight poured through the French windows and cast a glow on Tobias's body.

His figure looked a little distant.

Tobias knew that Natalie would be sleeping like a log.

Aunt Lee had told him that Natalie usually slept soundly. Natalie was almost late for school a few times because she overslept. Hence, Aunt Lee often knocked on her door to wake her up.

However, no matter how loudly she was knocking on the door, there was no response at all. Natalie continued to sleep soundly.

The only way she could wake up was to wake up on her own. Aunt Lee could never wake her up with her efforts.

Tobias agreed secretly that Natalie did indeed look like someone who would sleep too soundly for her own good.

That was why he wanted to apply ointment on Natalie late at night.

The scars on her hips must have been there for some time. It would definitely be ineffective if he was to use any ordinary ointment.

Nonetheless, the ointment in his hands was different from normal ointments. He happened to obtain this from an old Chinese medicine doctor by chance. At that time, he even paid an exorbitant amount for it.

When Natalie's hand was injured previously, he applied this ointment on her. Hence, she was able to recover almost immediately. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

When Tobias came across the scars on Natalie's hips in the bathroom, he was indeed shocked.

Despite that, being Tobias, he was able to calm down very soon.

He already had an intimate experience with Natalie. And later on, he even had several intimate contacts with her, but he had never discovered these scars on her body. He knew that Natalie was meticulous in making sure these scars wouldn't be discovered no matter what.

All women loved to be beautiful. No woman wanted to expose the ugliest part of her body to others.

Tobias saw through Natalie's thoughts, so he pretended not to know about the scars.

It was not until late night that Tobias secretly got up and was ready to apply ointment on Natalie.

However, when he reached for the doorknob, he heard an extremely repressed sob coming from within the room.

Tobias narrowed his eyes.

It was obvious that Natalie was sobbing at that moment.

A ripple spread through his heart in that instant.

He has been surviving the harsh business world for so many years. Naturally, he was not an ordinary person. He could see through anybody at a glance.

Using Natalie as an example, he could sense that Natalie was always feeling inferior under her honest, optimistic, and cheerful appearance.

Her family caused her to be like that.

He knew the documentary that he had shown Natalie had somehow touched her heart.

However, Natalie was able to restrain herself at that time. She didn't want to expose her embarrassed side to anyone.

In the deep silence of the night, Natalie finally removed her mask. Tobias understood that he shouldn't go in at that time.

Natalie was probably experiencing a great deal of pain at that moment, but the wound would heal eventually. If he intruded suddenly, it might backfire.

Despite having that thought, Natalie's sobbing grew louder and louder, and her cries were sounding more and more devastating. Tobias's cool exterior finally collapsed.

He couldn't bear to see Natalie crying like this.

Tobias hesitated for a moment before turning the knob and barged in.

Natalie was hiding under her quilt while crying. She did not realize that Tobias came in.

When she was young, Natalie cried very often. In the middle of the night, alone, she hid in her bed and cried softly. When she was tired of crying, she would fall asleep.

By the time she woke up, she would discover that her sheets soaked thoroughly.

The older Natalie was, the lesser she would cry.

She knew that crying was useless. If she couldn't be strong, she would only suffer even more.

So whenever she felt like she was choking up, she would hold it in as best as she could.

Even so, she still couldn't stop her emotions from running free from time to time. By that time, she would always cry to her heart's content without a single worry in the world, like what she was doing at the moment. Just when Natalie's tears were trickling down her cheeks like beads falling off a broken necklace, a pair of arms suddenly held her tightly.

Natalie was taken aback.

The man's hot breath instantly engulfed Natalie. The same breath spread throughout her whole body.

The coldness and despair in her heart slowly faded away bit by bit by the warmth.

"If you want to cry, just cry. I'll stay here with you." The man's low voice sounded.

His voice was not loud, but it had a calming effect to it.

Natalie's eyelashes trembled violently like butterflies after the rain.

It was the first time someone hugged her when she was curling up in bed late at night. That was the first time she heard someone tell her to cry as much as she wanted and that he would accompany her.

Natalie never knew that someone would be willing to be there for her when she was at her lowest.

It was her first time to experience something like this.

Somewhere in Natalie's heart, there was a winding crack, and that man's breath filled the void.

She suddenly burst into tears again.

She didn't know why she cried again.

At first, she was crying due to immense sadness as thoughts about her biological family filled her head.

However, at that moment, even she didn't know why she had broken into tears again.

Maybe it was because someone treated her well and was willing to accompany her in that situation when she was all alone, dwelling in her sadness in the middle of the night.

For a moment, all kinds of emotions fused into one single wave and swept over Natalie.

She buried herself in Tobias' arms desperately as she continued to wail.

At that moment, she didn't want to care about anything in the world. She just wanted to cry.

Even if the sky was about to collapse, Natalie wouldn't care. She needed to be in his arms and cry.

He patted Natalie's shoulder gently. He patted her with care as she wailed.

He was wordless, but he gave Natalie great comfort.

His warm and strong chest inexplicably made her feel at ease.

The endless night was no longer feeling so daunting for her because there was a man who was willing to accompany her.

This time, Natalie did not cry herself to sleep for the first time. As midnight dragged on, Natalie finally stopped crying at some point in time.

She found that Tobias' shirt had been soaked, and it was because of her tears.

Natalie was embarrassed. "I'm sorry. Your clothes are wet because of me."

"You don't have to worry about that," Tobias replied flatly.

A moment later, he suddenly got up and took off his shirt.

In the darkness, Natalie could only vaguely see the hazy silhouette of Tobias taking off his shirt. Even so, she suddenly felt an explosion going off somewhere in her head.

His every move was charismatic. When God created human beings, this man hogged all excellent traits somehow.

Natalie thought that Tobias took off his shirt due to it being soaked, but she didn't expect that he would say lightly, "You won't feel uncomfortable anymore when you are in my embrace from now on."
