My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Natalie was in bed. However, she kept thinking about what Tobias told her earlier.

Did she have low self-esteem and was she unaware of it?

Her mind drifted from those beautiful clothes to Tobias.

She always assumed that it was impossible for her to be with Tobias.

Previously, when she thought that she was pregnant, Tobias reassured her that he would take care of her. Yet, she felt that it was impossible because they did not live in the same world.

Did she think that way because of her low selfesteem?

Natalie was frightened by the idea.

Natalie drifted into the same dream again when she fell asleep.

Somebody was guiding her to find her doll. However, as she ventured further, she could no longer find her way back home.

She was shrouded in mist.

It had been a long time since she had the same dream. She never dreamed about it ever since she left the Godfrey family.

Tobias left when Natalie woke up.

Aunt Lee brought Natalie some breakfast and said, "Mr. Whitlock went on a business trip again. He hasn't finished negotiating the previous project, so he went back to finish what he started."

Natalie felt embarrassed when it occurred to her that Tobias, who was always responsible at work, returned halfway because he could not contact her.

Tobias was so nice to her!

Natalie took a sip of milk.

This milk was being flown in from New Zealand. It was very silky and fragrant.

Why was Tobias being so nice to her?

Natalie ate a mouthful of crepe.

Aunt Lee was good at making crepes. The crepe was filled with ham, vegetables, and other ingredients. It was important to check the time when making crepe and it was a lot of effort.

Initially, Aunt Lee did not like to make them. However, ever since Natalie mistakenly thought her period was a miscarriage, Aunt Lee began spending a lot of time to make delicious food for Natalie.

Was it because Natalie was likable?

Natalie ate another mouthful of crepe.

Well, that was possible.

She recalled her thoughts the previous night and she asked for Aunt Lee.

"Aunt Lee, sit here." She pulled out the chair next to her.

"Do you think Tobias and I are a good match?" Natalie blinked.

"Of course!" Aunt Lee answered without thinking, "You two are a perfect match!"

Natalie thought, "I can't ask Aunt Lee like this. I have to rephrase my question."

She asked again, "If a very poor woman has a crush on Tobias, do you think Tobias will like her? Anyway, that woman is someone from the lower rung of society."

Aunt Lee immediately barked, "Miss Godfrey, what are you talking about? How could Mr. Whitlock fall for a woman like that? Someone with that background doesn't deserve Mr. Whitlock. Miss Godfrey, you shouldn't think too much."

"So she doesn't deserve to be with Tobias?" Natalie seemed to be deep in her thoughts. "Everyone will think that way, right?"

"Of course!"

Natalie sighed. It seemed that she did not have low self-esteem. In fact,everyone thought that it was impossible for her to be with Tobias.

Otherwise, why else would Yvonne think that Natalie was delusional when she tried to convince Yvonne countless times.

Natalie was just Cinderella and there was no way she could change her identity. She needed to snap out of that.

When she arrived at the bus station, there was a red Ferrari parked nearby, which attracted the attention of passersby.

The car window winded down slowly when Natalie approached. It was Remington in the driver's seat.

Was this man waiting for her?

As expected, Remington waved at her and invited, "Get in."

Natalie got into the car and asked, "Mr. Fox, are you waiting for me?"

Remington replied smilingly, "What else could it be?"

Natalie was at a loss for words.

She was confused. Why would Remington go through the trouble to pick her up? They were not close too.

She suddenly recalled that Remington claimed he knew Tobias previously. Was he doing this because of Tobias?

After all, many people would suck up to Tobias because of his status.

Was Remington trying to win her favor after failing to please Tobias?

Natalie felt very awkward. She said, "Stop being nice to me. I can't put in a good word for you with Tobias."

Remington immediately understood what Natalie meant. He was utterly speechless.

Did she think that he was trying to get closer to Tobias by being nice to her? This woman was so simple-minded.

"I know. Judging from the way you dress, I can see that you're not very important to Tobias." Remington glanced at her and continued, "Tobias is very rich. How can his woman dress like this? It seems that he does not care about you since you're just pretending to be his wife." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Natalie was rendered speechless again.

"Actually, it's not that bad. We were just pretending to be married but he's nice to me," Natalie defended Tobias, "He gave me a lot of clothes, bags, and shoes to fill up a huge cloakroom."

Natalie started counting with her fingers seriously. "He gave me something from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, and many more."

Remington was amused when he spotted her straight face.

Other women were proud and arrogant when they showed off their branded stuff.

However, Natalie sounded like she was solving a simple mathematics problem like a preschooler.

It had been a long time since Remington met an interesting woman like Natalie.

"Then why don't you wear them?" Remington asked.

Natalie's face froze.

She pointed to her clothes and asked, "Do you know what brand is this?"

Remington looked at it carefully but he could not recognize the brand.

How strange! There were brands that he did not know.

"I can't tell."

"That's right because it doesn't have a brand," Natalie replied. "I bought it at a roadside stall for only 15 dollars!" Natalie was very proud to reveal the answer.

Remington did not know what to say.

"You know what? I've been wearing cheap clothes all my life. I'm not used to wearing expensive clothes..."

As Natalie spoke, her lips curled. "Of course, maybe I'll wear those expensive clothes to show off someday when I feel like it. Yet, that's not something I want to do right now."

The corners of Remington's lips curved into a smile. "You're so funny."

"I'm not just a fun person." Natalie pointed at her own face and added, "I'm pretty too."

"You're pretty," Remington replied, "Otherwise, Tobias wouldn't have agreed to stage a marriage with you. Although you're just pretending to be his wife, he wouldn't want to wake up to face an ugly girl every day."

Natalie burst into laughter. "That's not true. Tobias would have seen so many beautiful women by now."

"That's right." Remington's dark eyes glowed and he added, "But there's another reason."

"What is it?" Natalie asked curiously.

"I'll tell you some other day." Remington decided to keep it a secret.

Natalie's university was just around the corner. Remington parked his car in a remote spot nearby without needing Natalie to remind him.

"You are quite smart." Natalie was impressed. "Of course, it's also very nice to be my girlfriend. Would you like to give it a try?” There was a faint smile on his lips.

"Forget it," Natalie replied.

Although she was just pretending to be Tobias' wife, she was still a married woman.

Remington smiled at her quietly.

"By the way, what's wrong with your phone? I can't get through," Remington suddenly asked when Natalie was getting out of the car.
