My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Natalie blushed immediately upon realizing that she just spouted nonsense.

"Aren't you still in college? Why does a college student like you know weird stuff like this?" Tobias' tone was bleak.

"Why wouldn't I know? Isn't it normal to know these things?" Natalie was a little unconvinced and added, "College students always watch it!"

"You watch it too?" Tobias raised his eyebrows.

"Someone in the dormitory was watching and I'd gotten a few glimpses," Natalie replied.

Tobias could sense that she was uneasy when she answered him. He repeated, "Are you sure it's just a few glimpses?"

"Fine, I've read a few erotic novels," Natalie told Tobias truthfully under his killer stare.

Tobias scoffed and he seemed smug.

"You are laughing at me!" Natalie raised her chin and retorted, "You're doing it too. Or else, why were you glued to your phone the whole night?"

"I'm dealing with work," Tobias replied flatly.

Natalie snorted, "Do you think I'm stupid? All the boys in our school said that no one can stay awake the whole night unless they watch p*rn or play games."

"After this, you are not allowed to mingle with those male students who think that way." Tobias's voice was quiet but domineering.

Natalie rolled her eyes discreetly. Why did she have to listen to him?

If it was not for the fact that he stayed with her the whole night, she would have retorted on the spot without caring about his feelings.

Although Natalie said otherwise, she actually believed that Tobias was dealing with work the previous night.

After all, people like Tobias were as noble and elegant as those angels in heaven. It was hard to relate him to those people who watched p*rn on their mobile phones sneakily.

The nurse came to check on Natalie again in the morning and confirmed that Natalie was doing great. Natalie was discharged from the hospital shortly after.

Tobias took Natalie out for breakfast. It was a breakfast buffet in a five-star hotel.

It was the first time for Natalie to eat such a lavish breakfast. She was spoiled for choice when she laid eyes on the food.

There was milk, cream puffs, brownies, fruit juices, cereals, pastries, cakes and many more.

Natalie put a lot of food on her plate. She realized that Tobias had a good appetite as well after finishing her food.

However, Tobias' eating etiquette was extremely elegant. It did not feel like he was wolfing down his food even though he was eating a lot. "You have a good appetite," Natalie said.

"I've been hungry since last night because I hadn't eaten anything." Tobias's voice was placid.

Natalie recalled that Tobias did not seem to have his dinner last night.

"Why didn't the hospital give you what I had yesterday?"

Tobias was indifferent when he spoke, "The portion provided yesterday should have been enough for the both of us."

Natalie immediately understood. She finally understood why there was so much food during dinner the previous day. Her stomach almost burst from the amount of food. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"I won't feel guilty because I ate your dinner," Natalie added, "You already left a bad impression on me."

"I didn't intend to make you guilty. You were the one who asked." Tobias's voice was emotionless.

Natalie was at a loss for words.

Natalie had to admit that she was not disgusted with him, in fact, her fondness for him was starting to build up ever since she knew what he did for her when she was hospitalized.

However, Natalie reminded herself constantly that she could not act like that.

She was softhearted and she's known about it since she was a child.

Back then, when her family members abused her, her father would always console her and tell her that Madison was her biological mother no matter She thought about it and could not help but agree with her father. After all, her mother gave birth to her and raised her. Therefore, she was softhearted and would forgive her so-called mother every time. However, Madison would abuse her more than ever.

After that, she would warn herself constantly to not be too kind. She would not forgive others casually because this would only bring more harm to her.

"I want to move out of the apartment,1' Natalie suddenly said after walking out of the hotel.

Natalie's thoughts were simple. After what happened the previous night, Natalie wanted to distance herself from Tobias and refused to take advantage of him. Naturally, she would be living off Tobias if she stayed at Themyscira Apartment.

"Do you think that you're taking advantage of me if you stay in the apartment?" Tobias read Natalie's mind.

Natalie nodded and replied, "I don't want to take advantage of the person I hate."

Tobias did not expect that Natalie's emotions would be so divisive and easy to read. Natalie was touched beyond words when he bought her chocolate. Yet, she wanted to sever their relationship because he hurt her.

"We have an agreement. Are you trying to go back on your words? Natalie, are you so bad at keeping promises?" Tobias pressed.

Natalie bit her lips. She was not someone who would go back on her words. Back then, she promised Tobias that she would pretend to be his wife.

"Then let's continue our agreement so that you can keep your mother at bay. However, I won't be leeching off you and I don't want to stay in the apartment. This should be good enough." Natalie came up with a perfect solution.

"Do you think that you're leeching off me by living in Themyscira?"

"Isn't that the case?" Natalie asked rhetorically.

Tobias shook his head and explained, "You deserve it. You made sacrifices when we made the agreement. Of course, you should be rewarded for it."

"I never thought about getting any rewards!" Natalie bellowed.

"I understand." Tobias shot a meaningful glance at Natalie and continued, "Then where will you be staying if not Themyscira ?"

"I can live in the dormitory!"

"What about after your graduation? It'll be expensive to rent a place on your own."

Natalie bit her lips tightly. Tobias was right. She thought this through, so she saved up some money too.

Despite that, she needed to give Brayden that money and the root of the matter was Tobias. She would never give the money to Brayden if she did not have to worry about Tobias getting humiliated.

She was trying to be considerate of Tobias but he embarrassed her that night. She hated him for it. "Natalie, you should stop being so arrogant." Tobias's black eyes were like a vast sea that would swallow anyone who looked into it. He concluded, "Some people are not qualified to be arrogant. You should know how to make the best out of every situation and grab any chances that come your way."

Tobias did not take Natalie's thoughts lightly. However, he knew that Natalie could be stubborn and swore to keep a distance from her if he said anything else.

He slept with Natalie and humiliated her because he misunderstood her. He felt obliged to help Natalie even if he did not have feelings for her.

Natalie hailed from a horrible family and no one was going to help her. She would face a lot of difficulties after graduating from college.

He mentioned that Natalie was not qualified to be arrogant and took a jab at her weak spot deliberately. She would only change her mind if he targeted her spot.

Sure enough, Natalie was silent for a moment before raising her head and replied, "You're right. I'm not qualified to be arrogant. Why am I moving out when I can stay in the apartment for free?"

The corner of Tobias' lips curled discreetly and he said, "Smart girl."

"I'm always smart," Natalie retorted.

"I'm going to the company later. Don't do those terrible part-time jobs today. You are Mrs. Whitlock now and Mrs. Whitlock doesn't have to do all that."

Natalie wanted to refuse without thinking but she suddenly recalled Tobias' previous remarks.
