My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"Go to sleep and get some rest."

Natalie gritted her teeth and laid down on the bed.

She wanted to fall asleep. What was the point of saying anything if Tobias wasn't going to listen? She should just sleep her worries away and everything will be fine the next day.

However, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She tossed and turned in bed, but to no avail. She felt as if her head was going to explode.

After a long while, Natalie couldn't take it anymore and sat straight up.

She looked at Tobias, "Tobias, I really didn't mean it. If you can't forgive me, we can just end our agreement. I know that I am foolish and I don't think about what I say and I don't deserve you. You don't have to be so cold to me. I can just leave."

Natalie understood that it was her fault from beginning to end.

However, a woman's emotions were peculiar indeed. Despite knowing she was the one at fault, Tobias' indifference towards her still made her infuriated.

Tobias opened his eyes and there was a clear look in his bright eyes.

The next second, he sat up.

The bed wasn't quite far off from the ground. With Tobias' height, he met Natalie eye to eye when he sat up.

Looking into Tobias' deep gaze, Natalie subconsciously wanted to flee.

But she didn't. She mustered up her courage to look at him and held his gaze.

Tobias stared at her for a long time. Natalie felt that she was being pulled into his deep gaze.

Tobias opened his mouth, and his voice was low. "Natalie, I never disliked you, and I never thought that you are not good enough for me."

He paused and said coldly, "I just don't know if you are taking me too lightly, or do you take yourself too lightly?"

Natalie froze.

Her eyelashes trembled heavily. "Tobias, what I said that day was not what I meant. I've never thought that you were the type to fool around, but a man always has desires. How did you control yourself for so many years? My mind was muddled and I just blurted the question out. I don't know why either, I..."

Natalie was so anxious that she was about to shed tears.

She really didn't know how to explain it anymore to Tobias. She didn't mean what she said, but she was too blunt to get her point across.

A cold smirk appeared on Tobias' face, sending chills up Natalie's spine.

"Natalie, in your eyes, do you think that all I see in you is s*xual desire?"

After that, he got up and walked straight out of the bedroom.

Seeing Tobias leaving the room, Natalie's heart sank bit by bit.

She wanted to explain, but the more she said, the worse it seemed to become. Their misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger. She blamed herself for being so dumb and bad with words.

Tobias walked to the veranda, where the entire city was in his view.

The night view was breath-taking.

He heard footsteps behind him, but he didn't look back.

He knew it was Cecilia.

For elegant women, even their footsteps were admirable. Natalie was not one of those women.

Her footsteps were so heavy that they could probably penetrate the floor.

However, for some reason, he had fallen for such a careless and clumsy girl.

"Tobias," Cecilia said as she stood beside Tobias.

"Mother," Tobias did not look at Cecilia. Instead, he looked into the distance. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

In the distance, hundreds of houses and homes had their lights on, illuminating the city.

"You had a fight with Natalie," Cecilia said softly.

Tobias didn't say anything.

"Tobias, you've always been someone who doesn't show any emotions. If you're this angry over what happened, it can only mean that you care deeply about her," Cecilia said.

Tobias' breathing came to a halt.

"You care about Natalie very much, don't you? That's why she easily affects your mood. You're rarely affected by someone else, except for the people you care about," Cecilia looked at Tobias. "Just like last time, you..."

"Mother, go to sleep." Tobias suddenly interrupted her.

He took a deep glance at Cecilia, "I will solve the problem between Natalie and me. You don't have to worry."

Cecilia smiled but said nothing.

She knew that her son had a sense of propriety. If he said he would solve this problem, he would definitely solve it.

"Natalie is a good girl. Although she isn't a regular young rich heiress, and she's kind of loud and careless, she's a girl you should cherish."

Tobias kept silent.

Cecilia took a last glance at Tobias and went back to her bedroom.

She should not interfere too much in the quarrel between a couple. She believed that Tobias would do the right thing.

The next day, the sun slowly rose.

Natalie did not get a wink of sleep. When she got up, Tobias had already left.

However, Cecilia was still there.

In front of Cecilia, Natalie forced herself to put on a smile. She didn't want Cecilia to worry about her and Tobias.

However, Cecilia was smart; she managed to see through Natalie's disguise.

"You didn't sleep well?" She looked at Natalie.

Natalie forced a smile, "No, I slept well. I just naturally have heavy dark circles under my eyes."

"I'll bring you some eye cream next time," Cecilia patted Natalie's shoulder and said. "Natalie, I'll go back first."

When Natalie heard that Cecilia was about to leave, she was a little surprised. "Mom, why are you leaving so soon?"

Cecilia nodded, "There are still many things for me to deal with over there. I can't always stay in the country."

"I'll send you off," Natalie said subconsciously.

Cecilia shook her head with a grin. "Natalie, I have a driver waiting for me. Your classes are more important."

Since Cecilia had said so, Natalie couldn't say anything more.

She was somewhat reluctant to part with Cecilia. She really liked her mother-in-law, but she also knew that Cecilia was not an ordinary person. Naturally, she had many things to do and could not stay with her all the time.

"Mom, take care," said Natalie.

Cecilia smiled and nodded. When she left, she took hold of Natalie's hand. "It's normal for a husband and wife to quarrel. Tobias is my son. I know very well that he is a responsible man who will do what's right. Just take it easy, okay?"

Natalie nodded her head, her mind still in a mess.

After Cecilia left, Natalie suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness in the empty Whitlock family apartment.

She didn't stay any longer and went straight to Agaphen University.

She reached the campus a little earlier. There was barely anyone on the bus and at the entrance of Agaphen University.

As soon as Natalie walked to the entrance, a man came over to her.

The man's hair was dyed blonde, looking like a street punk. His name was Darius.

However, he spoke politely, "Hi, do you by any chance know how to get to Weavecross Street?"

Natalie pointed to the front, "It's just straight ahead for about half a mile."

"Which intersection do I turn?" Darius still seemed confused.

Natalie walked further up, "It's right there. Just head this way and..."

She suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
