My Heart only Beats for You

"Alright then," said Tobias pleasantly, "From now on, the servants can take care of Hayden instead of you." Natalie was speechless.

She stared at him in bewilderment. "Mr. Whitlock, you..." "Yes?" He arched a perfect eyebrow.

Natalie bit on her lips and decided to be a little more explicit. "Mr. Whitlock, I meant I would like to return to my apartment. The big villa doesn't suit me, and I like my tiny space better." "You mean Bellevue Apartment, Block A, 201," Tobias stated.

She snapped her head at him, stunned.

That was her full address! How could he remember it so well? 'TH have someone purchase that lot later and forbid them from renting it to anyone" His tone was calm, like they were discussing lunch, not the possibility that she might be homeless. Natalie did not know what or how to respond.

Did the big boss not know that he was going too far? Huffed, Natalie answered, "Then I'll rent a place somewhere else!" "I'll just buy whichever place you're renting." Tobias continued on faintly.

She knew very well that he had the financial ability to do that.

"Mr. Whitlock, why are you doing this?" Tobias's gaze gleamed as it landed on Natalie. "Don't you remember Natalie, the villa was the one place you yearned for the most." He still remembered the excitement in Natalie's eyes when he took her to the villa for the first time.

She even named the villa 'Our Home'.

Tobias's heart tightened as he thought of their past.

On the other hand, Natalie furrowed her brows in confusion.

The place she yearned for the most? She did not have a clue what Tobias meant by that.

Tobias noticed Natalie's puzzled expression and immediately realized that he had slipped up.

She had lost her memory, so of course she wouldn't remember that.

He quickly changed the topic. "Natalie, have you made up your mind about what I asked you that day?" Along with the things that Tobias had told her that morning.

"Have you forgotten?" Admittedly, Natalie was crushed.

Then, he leaned forwards and looked her straight in the eye. "Natalie, before I left I did tell you," he continued, his voice hoarse. "I want answers from you once I return." Natalie's mind had a brief flashback, like a bolt of lighting.

She finally remembered what Tobias was talking about.

She bit her lower lip hard with her teeth and hasted. "Mr. Whitlock, Hayden has a mother now, and she's back. You miss her very much too, don't you?" Tobias's breath caught and his body went rigid.

He stood there speechless for a moment before he frowned and asked, "Lucy?" Natalie nodded stiffly.

Even though it was a single nod, she felt as if her neck was suddenly locked in place, and moving her head felt like an immense effort.

A glint flashed in Tobias's dark eyes.

No wonder there seemed to be something wrong with Natalie today. Was it because of Lucy? The corner of his mouth curled into a gentle grin.

She had misunderstood his relationship with Lucy, and she seemed to be frustrated about it. Did this mean that she cared about him? "Are you jealous?" He shot a teasing glance at her with his piercing eyes.

Her eyelashes fluttered when she heard him, and her lips parted in surprise.

"No!" Natalie cried.

Jealous? Why would she feel jealous? Tobias's smug grin grew even wider. "Really? Are you sure?" search the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Of course not!" Blood rushed to her face as she denied his claim.

Tobias suddenly grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards him. She stumbled and almost fell into his embrace.

She struggled to steady herself, her heart hammering against her chest.

Tobias's hand was tightly gripped around her waist, and his hand felt hot against her skin.

Instinctively, she wanted to push his hand away, but she felt the scorching heat the moment her hand met his. She quickly pulled her hand back.

With her face flushing, she ordered awkwardly, "Let go." However, her request went unacknowledged. "Natalie, Lucy is only Hayden's godmother." Natalie's mind went blank in an instant.

What? Lucy was only Hayden's godmother? Her eyes widened as she stared at Tobias, completely ignoring the fact that his hand was still wrapped around her waist.

"You don't believe me?" The man grinned, "You can ask Hayden, or I'll give Lucy a call now." As he spoke, he reached for the phone in his pocket.

Flustered, Natalie hurriedly stopped Tobias.

She believed him. There was no reason for him to lie to her.

A sudden rush of joy filled her heart, but it was snuffed out as soon as she thought about it again.

Lucy was not Hayden's real mother.

This meant that his biological mother was still out there, somewhere.

And it also meant that there was a woman out there whom Tobias loved very much, or in his words, "loved to the bones".

That very thought deflated her as quickly as she recovered, like a needle pricking a balloon.

"Natalie, what about my question that day?" Tobias pulled their conversation back to their initial topic.

Unwilling to give him her answer, she decided to just play dumb and asked, "What's the question again? I forgot." "I asked if you likedor not." He reminded her with a straight face.

Her cheeks burned up at his straightforward question.

She lowered her head and fidgeted. She didn't know how to answer this question.

"Natalie, answer me," Tobias asked again, his tone heavier this time.

Natalie was overwhelmed by the mixed emotions inside her.

Her plan to play dumb had failed. She might as well pretend to faint now.

She rolled her eyes and groaned, "Oh..Mr. Whitlock, I don't know what's wrong with my head.

I feel so dizzy." Tobias's mouth twitched.

Thankfully, Natalie did not choose to be an actress.

She would be crushed to death by the public.

Her acting skills were laughable.

But since Natalie wanted to go down this path, Tobias did not mind playing along.

Easily, he picked Natalie up in his arms, princess style.

Natalie let out a shrill shriek. "What are you doing!" He gently put her on the sofa and replied, "Aren't you dizzy? I just wanted you to lie on the sofa and rest." She fluttered her lashes and pouted. "I wish to rest in my apartment, Mr. Whitlock."

Tobias acted like he did not just hear her. Pleasantly, he ordered, "Lie here O and rest. When you're no longer NO dizzy givea reply and then well leave." Natalie was both baffled and annoyed. Wasn't he unreasonably keeping her into custody like this? However, she couldn't think of any other way! She could only sit up and sigh, "Mr. Whitlock, I'm fine now. I don't feel dizzy anymore." "Are you sure?" "I am. I'm not dizzy." "Answer my question then." Natalie made a sad expression and begged, "Mr. Whitlock, can't I tell you sother time?" "No," he answered unhesitatingly.

She bit her finger as she muttered, "I'll need stto think about it carefully." "That's alright." Tobias said elegantly in a gracious tone, "You sit here and think about it. Tellwhen you have an answer." Natalie was dumbstruck.

Tticked on, and Tobias was not bothered by it at all - he busied himself with work as he browsed through contracts, awaiting Natalie's answer.

She pursed her lips tightly.

"It's almost dinner time," she thought to herself. "Tobias would probably letgo hto have dinner if I remain silent." However, to her dismay, he ordered his secretary to send dinner straight to his office instead.

It was Lisa who sent them dinner, and she was the one who knew the most about Tobias and Natalie's relationship in the entire company! While Tobias was occupied with work in front of the computer, Lisa sneaked close to Natalie and whispered, "Why are you still here at this hour?" Natalie's face sagged. "I probably won't be able to leave until tomorrow. Your boss is holdinghostage."

She sneaked a glance at Tobias.

Looking at his stubborn expression, she knew that he wouldn't letcher go if she still refused to give him an ET if she answer. "Natalie, he won't get it on with you in the office, will he? That's so arousing!" Lisa exclaimed in a hushed tone. Area - Registration Free Deepen Discussions with Singles on Now! CouldSee! Registration Is Free! X
