My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Even Benjamin was confused. How could Mr. Whitlock receive so many messages?

Could it be that his phone number was leaked? Were some crazy female fans texting Mr. Whitlock ceaselessly?

After all, putting aside Mr. Whitlock's identity and status, his face was enough to make women run after him.

However, Tobias did not mention anything, hence Benjamin did not plan to ask.

After completing the day's work, Tobias rubbed his eyebrows and finally checked his phone.

Previously, his phone kept ringing with incoming text messages. He could sense that Natalie was behind it and she was probably spending money. It seemed that Natalie was determined to spend money.

Suddenly, he was curious what Natalie bought and this prompted him to read the text messages.

The card bearing the final number XX was charged 310 dollars at Pizza Hut.

The card bearing the final number XX was charged 710 dollars at Ralph Lauren.

The card bearing the final number XX was charged 300 dollars at Omecious Restaurant.

The card bearing the final number XX was charged 120 dollars for two packets of potato chips, three boxes of Oreo, four boxes of milk tea and four boxes of French chocolate.

The card bearing the final number XX was charged 200 dollars at Starbucks.

Tobias was at a loss for words.

Tobias was speechless when he set his mobile phone aside. Was this what Natalie meant by spending a lot?

It seemed that this little girl really never spent a lot of money prior to this. The amount she spent today might not even cover a quarter of the price for a pair of shoes purchased by wealthy women.

Suddenly, Tobias received a call from Cecilia.

"Are you coming back, Tobias? I'll wait for you in Themyscira Apartment."

After hanging up the phone, Tobias immediately drove to Themyscira Apartment. As expected, Cecilia was waiting for him at the door.

"Mother, I'll give you a door card next time, so that you won't have to wait outside," Tobias suggested.

Cecilia refused, "No thanks, I can't always disturb you newlyweds. I am here today to give Natalie something special."

"Where is Natalie?" Cecilia asked.

"She went shopping."

"Shopping? Is she buying clothes?"

"Maybe."

A smile appeared on Cecilia's lips. She uttered, "This girl must have learnt how to dress up after marrying into the Whitlock family. She probably went to buy some designer clothing. After all, Mrs. Whitlock can't be seen in casual clothes."

Tobias felt that his mother was thinking too much but he kept quiet.

Tobias and Cecilia chatted in the living room for a while.

"Natalie is not bad, right?" Cecilia asked.

"Not bad. She's not like the typical daughter from a rich family. She's down to earth and simple," Tobias answered.

Natalie was a very smart girl but she was innocent too. She was not as complex as the other women he encountered.

A smile blossomed on Cecilia's lips. She was satisfied with Tobias's answer.

When she chose Natalie, she contemplated the prospect of Natalie marrying into the family. Firstly, Tobias had not been in close contact with women for so many years, hence she was overjoyed to see Natalie in Tobias' bed.

Furthermore, Natalie was dressed terribly but Cecilia's intuition was so sharp and she could tell that the girl was relatively simple and innocent.

Moreover, Natalie was quite beautiful despite dressing up terribly. In short, she was quite satisfied with Natalie.

She was different from other mothers-in-law. She did not pester her son to marry someone with an affluent background. In her opinion, the Whitlock family had no need to look for a wealthy family or a daughter of a politician to improve their power.

If she needed to point out something that she was unhappy with, that would be that Natalie needed to improve on her fashion sense.

Of course, there was no need to rush and Natalie could be taught slowly. After all, Natalie was beautiful and she was already out shopping for clothes too.

Natalie returned when the mother and son were talking about her.

Natalie was slightly taken aback when she spotted Cecilia. She immediately snapped back to her senses and called sweetly, "Mom."

Tobias relaxed a little. This girl was quite smart.

"Natalie, I heard from Tobias that you went shopping for clothes," Cecilia greeted Natalie with a smile.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat. She feared that Tobias complained that she spent too much money.

This man was really stingy. He had already allowed her to spend however she liked?

"What clothes did you get? Let me have a look." Cecilia wanted to see if Natalie's taste had improved to give Natalie some guidance.

Natalie took out the new clothes with a wry smile. In fact, she did not like it that much but Yvonne forced her to buy it. Yvonne said that she wanted to wear matching clothes together.

"Mom, it's quite expensive. I spent some money on this." Natalie was a little embarrassed. She always assumed that all mothers-in-law would not be fond of their shopaholic daughters-in-law.

On the contrary, Cecilia was actually happy. She was relieved that Natalie had bought some branded clothes. This girl was quite quick on her feet.

However, her face froze instantly when she saw "Ralph Lauren" printed on the shopping bag.

Natalie's heart sank when she noticed Cecilia's face change. Natalie yelped in her heart, "This is not good. My mother- in- law really thinks that I have spent too much."

She took out the clothes from the shopping bag and explained, "The material is not bad, so it's a little expensive."

Cecilia's face stiffened when she saw the fancy clothes in bright pink.

However, she had seen a lot. She changed her mind quickly and put on a smile. She replied, "Not bad, not bad." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Cecilia thought that no matter how terrible this attire was, it was still better than what Natalie wore when they first met. It was safe to say that Natalie made some progress.

Tobias, who was usually expressionless, put on a bitter smile when he noticed that Cecilia had a stiff expression on her face. He did not know what to say when her mother forced herself to swallow her complaints when she laid eyes on Natalie's clothes.

"However, I think you should buy some clothes from Chanel in the future. I think it suits you better," Cecilia suggested kindly. Natalie did not catch Cecilia's remarks and stared at her blankly.

"I mean the fashion brand, Chanel," Cecilia repeated slowly.

Natalie finally understood.

Chanel was the most expensive brand for Natalie. "That's so expensive," Natalie whispered.

"You're able to afford it no matter how expensive it

is. After all, you are now Mrs. Whitlock," Cecilia replied smilingly.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat when Cecilia mentioned that Natalie was Mrs. Whitlock. A sense of guilt instantly bloomed in her heart.

She was not silly and she could tell that Cecilia was nice to her.

She had never felt any sort of maternal love ever since she was a child, therefore Cecilia's goodwill moved her even more.

However, she lied to Cecilia and she was just pretending to be Tobias' wife.

Natalie fell silent.

Cecilia knew that Natalie was born poor, so she needed to teach Natalie slowly about these things. There was no need to hurry.

Cecilia took Natalie's hand and led Natalie to the dining table. There was a thermos flask placed on

it.

Cecilia opened the flask and an aroma filled the apartment. "Tobias, bring me some cutlery," Cecilia instructed.

Tobias frowned. He did not know what his mother was going to do.

However, he fetched some cutlery from the kitchen as requested.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat inexplicably when she spotted Tobias holding the cutlery. She suddenly discovered something!
