My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

She froze for a long time. After a while, she forced a smile and asked tentatively, "You're not joking, are you?"

"I'm not joking. Didn't you agree to pretend to be married? How do you call it a marriage when we don't even have a marriage license?" Tobias' face was very solemn. He did not look like he was joking.

Natalie's slender body quivered.

Natalie thought the agreement Tobias mentioned was just an act they would put on to please the others. She thought they would just sign a contract but she did not expect Tobias to get a marriage license. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Registering as husband and wife was a big deal to Natalie.

Natalie felt that she needed to make things clear if Tobias was serious about registering their marriage.

"Do you even know me? You're rushing to get a marriage license just like that?" Natalie blinked.

"Currently, I've only known you in bed but I can get to know everything else later."

Tobias was expressionless even when spouting shameless remarks.

Natalie blushed when she heard him. She sniffed and stated, "Are you sure you want to register this marriage? To tell you the truth, I'm so poor that I don't even have enough money to go to college."

"It's okay if you're poor. That won't be a problem since I'm rich."

"And my past is very complicated."

"How complicated can it be?"

"I've done a lot of odd jobs. I used to work in a coffee farm and I sold wine in a shady bar."

"That's why I think it's right to choose you as my wife," Tobias replied flatly.

"Firstly, you are so young but you're physically fit to handle a job in the coffee farm. Secondly, you were working in a shady bar but you were able to keep your chastity. I am seeing you in a new light for what you did." Tobias' dark eyes met Natalie's gaze.

Natalie forgot to breathe.

After a long pause, she smiled and uttered, "Thank you."

"Let's get our marriage license."

"Okay." Natalie suddenly recalled something upon finishing. She reminded him, "It's a weekend today. I don't think the city hall is open today."

Tobias had a smug and arrogant look on his face. He replied, "It doesn't matter whether it's a weekend or not when I need to get my license."

Natalie was instantly dumbfounded.

As expected, the staff had been waiting for them when they arrived at the city hall. They finished the procedure quickly and Benjamin distributed some chocolates to the staff in the city hall.

Usually, newlyweds would bring some chocolates or sweets for the city hall's staff. However, few people were generous enough to give each person a massive gift box of expensive chocolates.

Natalie stole glances at the chocolates frequently.

After getting in the car, Tobias suddenly asked, "Do you like that brand's chocolates?"

Natalie was taken aback and she smiled wryly, answering, "I've never tried such expensive chocolates before. It's a French brand, right?"

The chocolates were bought by Benjamin, hence Tobias did not know where they were from.

Natalie bit her finger and continued, "When I was a freshman, there was a very beautiful girl from a wealthy background in our class. She brought back a lot of chocolate of this brand when she came back from her vacation in France."

Tobias stared at her as he listened intently.

Natalie suddenly had the urge to tell him everything. She continued, "She gave the chocolates to all our classmates except me. She said that it was pure dark chocolate and a poor person like me, who couldn't afford to enjoy quality chocolate, would not be able to appreciate it. In the end, she decided not to give me any of it."

A self-reproachful smile appeared at the corner of Natalie's lips. She added, "I told you that I'm very poor." A glimmer flashed across Tobias' black eyes. After a while, he patted Natalie's head.
