My Heart only Beats for You

Cecilia's mind mas momentarily overwhelmed with panic.

After a while, she calmed herself down and said, "Tobias, let's go somewhere else to eat." Tobias repeated, "Somewhere else?" "That's right. I suddenly don't want to eat here," Cecilia answered.

Tobias didn't care where he ate, and he was willing to follow his mother's wishes.

Just as Tobias stood up, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He saw a flash of panic on Cecilia's face.

Although the panic quickly dissipated, Tobias still noticed it.

Tobias took his seat again. "Mother, why do you want to eat somewhere else?" "The... the food here isn't good," Cecilia answered hesitantly.

"Mother, you're the one who picked this place earlier." Cecilia's heart skipped a beat.

She saw Tobias staring at her thoughtfully.

She had to change her mind. "Then let's just eat here." If she continued like this, she was afraid that it would make Tobias suspicious.

This restaurant had a self-service policy.

Cecilia stood up and said, "I'm going to get sfood." From the corner of her eye, she saw that Natalie had already gone to get food. She was afraid that Tobias would meet Natalie if he went there.

But she had not expected Tobias to be one step ahead of her. "Mother, letdo it. You sit down, I'll get the food for you." Cecilia's expression changed.

It seemed that Natalie and Tobias would have to meet on this day.

Natalie went to get fruit juice.

She didn't really have much of an appetite.

She could not stomach the delicious food in the restaurant at all.

However, she still forced herself to get food, because she was afraid that Remington would notice her odd behavior.

She was trying to prove to both Remington and herself, that she had already forgotten about that incident. Naturally, she had already let go of Tobias as well.

As for her past with Tobias, she had already completely forgotten about it.

At the stime, Tobias also cto get fruit juice.

Cecilia usually liked drink juice.

Just then, Tobias and Natalie saw each other.

They stopped in their tracks.

Tobias gazed at Natalie.

Natalie gazed at Tobias.

After a while, Natalie cto her senses. She turned around and left.

What a coincidence it was, to meet Tobias here.

Natalie subconsciously did not want to eat in this restaurant anymore.

However, she soon forced herself to give up the idea.

If she left now, it would further prove that she still cared about Tobias.

She didn't want to make it seem like she cared about him.

After Natalie turned around and left, a wave of bitterness flashed across his eyes.

Moments later, he returned to his seat.

Tobias handed the juice to Cecilia.

"Mother, the reason why you wanted to leave is because you saw Natalie," he suddenly said in a low voice. Cecilia's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that they had still run into each other...

Cecilia smiled wryly. "Yes, Tobias." "Mother, you don't have to do this. She and I are a thing of the past." There was a hint of dullness in Tobias's tone. From the moment that he had set Natalie free, their relationship had already turned into a thing of the past.

Despite his words, he couldn't stop his eyes from searching for Natalie.

He soon found her, and then his expression changed.

Natalie was already in her seat. Opposite her was Remington.

Ever since Natalie cback, her face had been terribly pale.

"What's wrong?" Remington looked at Natalie as he raised his eyebrows.

Natalie brushed it off and replied, "It's a little cold." "Cold?" Remington dragged the end of his sentence out.

After a while, he suddenly reached out his hands and held Natalie's face. "Is it still cold like this?" Tobias happened to see this as well.

Cecilia followed Tobias's gaze, and saw it as well.

She got such a shock that her face turned pale.

"Tobias," she called out subconsciously.

She was afraid that Tobias would go out of control, and do something.

Tobias' fists were tightly clenched, and blue veins were popping out on his skin.

He withdrew his gaze and said nothing.

After a while, Tobias stood up and said, "Mother, I'm going out for a smoke." After that, he strode to the hotel's smoking room.

Natalie pushed Remington's hand away.

She looked at him warily. "What are you doing?" "I'm just helping you warm up your face," Remington replied with an innocent expression.

Natalie took a deep breath.

Perhaps she was just too nervous.

"I need to go to the bathroom." Natalie stood up.

She wanted to wash her face with cold water in the bathroom.

"I'll go with you." Remington stood up as well.

Natalie threw a sidelong glance at him. "Remington, since when have you had the habit of going to the girls' toilet?" Remington was silent.

He sat down and said, "I'll wait for you." Natalie went to the bathroom.

She cupped a few handfuls of cold water to wash her face. After being rinsed, her face didn't look so pale anymore, and in fact brought scolour back. Natalie walked out of the bathroom, and bumped into Tobias again when she passed by the corridor. The smell of cigarettes lingered on Tobias's body.

Natalie's brows furrowed subconsciously.

At that moment, the smell of tobacco on his body was too strong.

She subconsciously wanted to leave, but Tobias stopped her.

"Natalie!" Natalie stopped in her tracks.

She told herself that she should act as if she had not heard him. She should have left just like that.

However, her body did not listen to her brain's commands at all.

She stayed rooted to the ground.

Tobias walked over to Natalie and stood before her. His gaze was dim as he said, "Natalie, promisenot to be with Remington." He paused and said in an even rougher tone, "I promised to give you freedom, but please don't embarrasstoo much." Natalie was slightly stunned.

She quickly thought of the scene where Tobias and that woman embraced one another.

Her rebellious spirit rose up in a split second. SEAR*ch the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

If Tobias could find a new lover so quickly after their separation, why couldn't she? She looked at Tobias and returned, "That's exactly what I want to do. What about it?" Tobias's body stiffened for a moment.

As he stared into Natalie's eyes, there was endless sorrow in his gaze. He said, "Natalie, will you only be satisfied and happy if you hurtto the point where I have nothing left?" Natalie felt like her heart had stopped beating.

It was as if there was nothing else around her, and there was only Tobias staring into her eyes.

There was an earth-shattering sorrow in his gaze.

That sadness could infect everything.

Natalie's fingertips trembled slightly.

How could his eyes show hurt like this? She could see nothing but sorrow.

She subconsciously wanted to comfort the man standing before her.

The grief in his eyes was too much for her to bear.

Natalie opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, an arm wrapped around her waist.

It was Remington.

Natalie was about to push him away when Remington suddenly whispered something into her ear with a voice bereak so low that only she could hear. "Natalie, you're being softhearted again. Do you want this man to hurt you over and over again? Natalie stiffened at his words.
