My Heart only Beats for You

"You bet. Mr. Whitlock had just publicly displayed his affection towards you." Linda grinned. Natalie drew in a sharp breath.

Were they looking at her so strangely because she held hands with Tobias that morning? "Natalie, have you decided to go public with your relationship with Mr. Whitlock?" Linda asked. Natalie's hand paused mid-air. The spoon caught between her fingers. "Actually, I don't know." In fact, her thoughts were still in a mess.

"What do you think of Mr. Whitlock?" Linda asked again.

Natalie hesitated, her cheeks painted a deep, fiery red.

What did she think of him? Undeniably, she felt attracted to Tobias. However, everything between them was moving too fast to seem real. So, she had doubts about their relationship.

First, Tobias claimed to have fallen in love with her at the annual meeting. Then, he began making advances at her. Just a day ago, he confessed his feelings for her, and now, he even had the intention to marry her and make her Hayden's stepmom.

The problem is, they only knew each other for a short period.

Their relationship was progressing too fast, to the point where Natalie started to have doubts.

But she still couldn't figure out what was amiss.

Besides, she could not let go of the fact that Hayden's mother was still out there somewhere -the woman that Tobias couldn't forget.

Could she really replace her? She did not have the confidence to at all.

That was why her thoughts were still a mess.

Tobias's threat was only part of the reason she agreed to date him. The other reason she agreed was because she indeed genuinely liked him.

"I don't know. My mind's a mess now, so my answer to your questions is I don't know," she mumbled with her mouth full of food.

"Well, It doesn't matter. Mr. Whitlock is gorgeous, and he is loaded. I bet there are many girls who want to be with him. Don't let go of him, Natalie. He's a catch," Linda winked. Natalie bobbed her head in agreement. Tobias was indeed rich and handsome. Other than having a son, she couldn't find a single flaw in him at all.

Besides, it was probably tfor her to find love.

She lowered her gaze as she thought about that.

If Tobias genuinely loved her and treated her well, she might as well give him a chance.

Most importantly, he was a good person, and a man like him was hard to find.

Meanwhile, in the YS Group president's office.

There was a knock on the door.

"Cin." A man in a black suit strode into the office.

"Mr. Whitlock," he greeted respectfully.

Tobias glanced up at the man with a slight frown. "How's the investigation going?" The man hesitated before he replied, "Mr. Whitlock, Madison insisted that Madam's babysitter gave the baby to her, and she denied any involvement in this matter." Tobias remained silent.

"Do you think she was lying?" he asked after a while.

"I don't think so, Mr. Whitlock. I've tried different methods on her. Normal people like her wouldn't be able to take it. She was definitely telling the truth." The man sounded confident.

He held his breath as he waited for Tobias's response.

Tapping his finger on the desk, Tobias bit his lip and knitted his brows. He seemed to be lost in thought.

The man stood aside and didn't dare to utter a word.

Deafening silence filled the entire office, save for the sound of Tobias tapping his fingers on the desk.

After a long while, Tobias finally said, "Bring that babysitter over." If Madison was not lying, then it must be the babysitter.

"Yes, Mr. Whitlock." The man hurriedly stepped out of the office.

When it was about tfor Natalie to get off work, Lisa barged into her department, looking for her. Search The (Find)website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Hey, Natalie," Lisa said with a smile. "Mr. Whitlock wants to see you." "Oh." A puzzled look painted across Natalie's face.

It was almost tfor her to get off work. Why would Tobias want to see her at this hour? She quickly followed Lisa upstairs. As they were about to step out of the elevator, Lisa stopped abruptly and said, "It's best that only you enter, Natalie. I wouldn't want to disturb you and Mr. Whitlock." She flashed a suggestive smile at Natalie.

Embarrassed, Natalie jokingly nudged Lisa's arm and chided, "Don't make assumptions, and stop that nonsense." "It's not nonsense. Why would Mr. Whitlock want to see you in his office after work? He must have gotten a taste of it last night, and he wants more now. I bet it feels better doing it in the office, huh?" Natalie had no words. She was truly astounded by Lisa's wild imagination.

She was about to explain to Lisa that her relationship with Tobias was completely different from what she had in mind, but Lisa had already left.

Shaking her head in defeat, she shuffled into the office on her own.

In the end, Tobias didn't have anything important to tell Natalie. He just wanted to inform her that he had smatters to tend to after work so he would not be sending her home.

It was only a very insignificant matter.

But Tobias had left a long list of instructions for her.

She made a mental note of the things he reminded her-he had ordered Benjamin to send her back home, and if she was free after dinner, she could go out for a walk or bring Hayden along.

After he finished briefing her, he stuffed a gold card into her hand. "Take this and buy something for yourself. I'm worried that you'll be bored when I'm not home." Her gaze drifted to his concerned eyes, and she felt a surge of warmth deep within.

Tobias really cared for her a lot.

"I don't need your card. I have money." Although she was dating Tobias, she wasn't comfortable with spending his money.

"My woman will have to use my card," Tobias said in a commanding tone.

Her heart lurched.

His domineering manner ignited something in her.

She lowered her gaze as she thought it through, long dark lashes sweeping her cheeks.

Well then, she should not deny herself the privilege of getting to spend her boss's money. "Alright, I will use it. Thank you." Tobias pursed his lips together into a faint smile. "You're welcome. It's right and proper for a woman to spend her man's money." It had been an hour since Natalie left.

A woman was led into Tobias's office.

The woman looked relatively old, and she was wearing a common outfit one would expect to see on a middle-aged woman. Tobias invited her to sit on the sofa.

After a short conversation with Tobias, she realized who he was.

Her eyes widened in shock.

It turned out that the man sitting across her was Cecilia's son.

No wonder he had such attractive facial features. He had indeed inherited them from Cecilia.

"I invited you here today because I would like to know more about the girl my mother handed to you years e agor po you have any idea where she is now?" Tobias's tone was polite but assertive. The babysitter's heart skipped a beat. Tobias had been very polite to her since the very second she stepped into the office.

But she had been through a lot too.

And she could see through the sharpness hidden underneath.

She knew very well what would happen to her if she didn't tell him the whole truth.

The lady cleared her throat and swallowed.

That man was dead anyway, so it would be safe for her to tell Tobias the truth.

After dinner, Natalie brought Hayden out for a walk.

"Hayden, cwithand tellwhat you want to eat today: lo m promise l'Il fulfif your wish." She felt unusually generous that night. His eyes lit up at the mention of food. "Really?" "Really." She flashed him a smug grin. "I am very rich today." "I want to eat the hamburgers that cwith the Ultraman toys." He blinked excitedly.

"Sure, you can eat all the hamburgers you want!" She waved her hand and beckoned. "Let's go!" It felt freaking awesto be rich! X
