My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

In Natalie's imagination, Tobias has always been a cold man. He would exude a sense of arrogance as if he were a celestial being who didn't belong in the human realm.

However, at that moment, Tobias held a bowl of steaming noodles in his hands, which somehow gave him an easy- going look. It made him look indescribably handsome.

Tobias' image at that moment made him look even more attractive than his usual cool self.

As for the noodles in Tobias' hands, they were not as bad as Natalie thought.

At first, Natalie thought that since Tobias had never cooked before, the noodles he made would end up looking terrible. However, she quickly stole a glance at it and realized that the noodles actually looked appetizing.

"Dig in." Tobias placed the noodles in front of Natalie.

Natalie's heart could not help but skip a beat.

At that moment, Tobias looked like an ordinary husband rather than the president of the YS Group.

Of course, he still didn't fit the term "ordinary man". After all, no ordinary man could be as handsome as Tobias.

Natalie wanted to pick up the cutlery to eat the noodles, but she discovered she could not raise her In the end, after giving it some thought, she simply lowered her head and placed her lips at the edge of the bowl to suck the noodles instead.

Tobias was taken aback by her action.

After a moment of hesitation, he came to his senses and frowned. "Natalie, are you planning to eat noodles like this?"

Natalie raised her head, and a noodle strand dangled by her lips, "I can't use my hands. Isn't this a good idea?"

Tobias' face darkened.

Well, it was indeed a good idea. Sometimes, Natalie was too smart for her own good.

Tobias picked up the cutlery and began to feed Natalie.

As she watched the noodles approaching her lips, Natalie's face was full of disbelief. "You. Are you going to feed me?"

Tobias' eyebrows twitched slightly. "Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing?"

Natalie's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Oh my god, I'm on a roll today. Not only did the president of the YS Group cook noodles for me, but he is also feeding me!" Natalie thought in a daze. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

All of a sudden, Natalie felt ecstatic.

Well, since Tobias wanted to feed her, Natalie would not make things difficult for him. She immediately swallowed a mouthful of noodles. "I want more." Natalie swallowed the noodles and asked for more immediately.

"This bowl of noodles is not bad. Is this really Tobias's first time cooking?" Natalie thought to herself.

Tobias picked up another mouthful of noodles and sent it to Natalie's mouth. Before Natalie could say anything, he sent another mouthful to her mouth again.

Finally, Natalie finished the whole bowl of noodles.

Her stomach was slightly bulging.

"Tobias, is this really your first time cooking? It's so delicious!" Natalie asked sincerely.

Tobias's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation. Instead of answering Natalie's question, he changed the topic. "How did you get hurt?"

Natalie's face, which was originally cheerful, suddenly turned pale.

She lowered her head, and her voluminous lashes cast a long shadow on her eyes.

Natalie clammed up once again.

Tobias's eyes lit up.

He could already guess who was behind this. He was thinking about whether he should pull out the "thorn" in Natalie's heart at that moment.

It was hard to predict how things would unravel from this point. Tobias could successfully pull out the "thorn" in Natalie's heart, or he would end up hurting her more.

Time seemed to stay still for a moment. Even Aunt Lee, who was standing by the side, realized the elephant in the room. She quietly retreated to the kitchen.

After a while, the dim light in Tobias' eyes faded away.

His actions could, in turn, hurt Natalie more deeply, but if he didn't do anything, the thorn would only sink deeper into her heart. It would only become another lifelong trauma.

"It was your so-called mother, wasn't it? She hit you, resulting in your current injuries," Tobias opened his mouth after a long while.

Natalie was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Tobias in shock. "How, how did you know?"

She never told him anything. How could he be so spot on?

Tobias locked his gaze with Natalie's. "Natalie, you are a little wild cat with sharp teeth and claws. No one would be able to bully you like this. Plus, you are trying to hide the truth. Only your so- called mother could have done this. Even if you do hate her, you still care about her like family. That's why you kept your lips sealed, right?"

Tobias was well aware of how badly Natalie's family had hurt her and how much she craved family affection.

"No!" Natalie shouted reflexively, "I stabbed her with a knife, and I stabbed her hard! She hit me, so I had no choice but to try to kill her!"

Natalie's face was livid. It was as if she was eager to clarify something. She wanted to give Tobias the impression that familial ties could not trap her. If Madison dared to hit her, she would dare to stab Madison to death.

Tobias gazed deeply into Natalie's eyes. "Even if you stabbed her, you must have restrained your strength, right? That jab wouldn't cause any fatal injuries to her."

When she was under Tobias's scrutiny like this, Natalie's facade seemed to fade away.

As soon as Tobias finished speaking, Natalie froze.

She didn't expect that Tobias could see through her.

When she was stabbing Madison with the dagger, she could have stabbed her in the heart, but she did not do that.

It was not that she was afraid of suffering the consequences and ending up in jail. She didn't care about this at all.

In the heat of that moment, she knew that Madison was still her mother no matter what.

Her mother had been pregnant with her for nine months. No matter what, this person was still the one who gave birth to her.

No matter how cruel Natalie was, she couldn't actually kill her mother. Even if Madison wanted to beat her to death, she couldn't bring herself to harm Madison at all!

Natalie suddenly burst into tears. They were like beads that had fallen off a broken necklace.

Tobias just silently watched Natalie without saying anything. There was an imperceptible hint of pity in his eyes. When Natalie finally stopped sobbing, she raised her head. Her eyes were bloodshot and red. "In the beginning, Madison called me. That was the first time she didn't curse me on the phone. She didn't call me a b*tch. She just wanted to see me. I didn't know that she was doing this to avenge Queenie. I thought that she had come to her senses. I am stupid, aren't I?"

As she was speaking, her voice started to choke, "In fact, even if Madison didn't scold me in the first place, I'm still a lowly scum. Otherwise, how could I bear such ridiculous and unrealistic thoughts? Otherwise, why would I agree to see her?"

Natalie choked up.

No matter how much she did not want to admit it, deep in her heart, she was still so eager for family affection. She also hoped that Madison would come to her senses one day. She was so dumb.

"Natalie, do you know what being a parent means?" Tobias suddenly asked.

Natalie raised her tearful face and looked at Tobias.

"To be a parent is to give birth to you and raise you, and to accompany you to grow besides giving you protection. Otherwise, if they only give birth to you, they can't be acknowledged as a real parent." Speaking of this, Tobias' pitch raised slightly, "Let me show you something."
