My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 428

His future with Natalie.

Could they still have a chance to be together in the future?

Could they even have a future?

He couldn't.

Suddenly, he felt a bitter feeling in his heart.

He looked into the distance.

Maybe he just needed to sober up a little.

Tobias found Cecilia.

"Mother, I'll agree to the engagement with Lucy." Tobias said.

He said it in such a low voice that no one could sense any emotion in it.

It was just like his face, there was no expression at all.

Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief.

Did Tobias finally think it through?

Or was he a little tempted by Lucy?

When Cecilia was looking through the list of fiancees for Tobias, she deliberately chose the type that was closest to Natalie.

She was easy-going and simple, with a lovely appearance too.

Men's love for women was mostly similar. Cecilia hoped that Tobias would focus on other women as soon as possible.

"Now tell me where Natalie is." Tobias added.

Cecilia frowned.

It seemed like she was overthinking.

The reason Tobias agreed to marry Lucy was to replace out about Natalie.

He wanted to know where Natalie was.

But he could not do anything to his own mother, so he could only compromise.

"Not yet. I need to be assured until you and Lucy are engaged." Cecilia stared at Tobias. Engagement?

Tobias lost his focus for a moment.

He thought that he would marry Natalie.

Tobias' eyes turned stone cold.

"Okay." Tobias said after a long while.

Before their engagement, Tobias made a request to Cecilia.

He wanted to meet Lucy.

Of course, Cecilia was more than happy about the request.

She hoped that Tobias and Lucy could meet a few more times and have a good relationship.

Tobias and Lucy met at a restaurant that afternoon.

Cecilia did not go and it was what Tobias requested too.

Lucy's heart was pounding.

The crystal lamp on top shone on him and it looked like a halo on his head. He looked like a man in a painting. She thought that it was unbelievable and surreal. Lucy was not a little girl anymore.

She was cute and lovely with a good background. She had been pursued by boys ever since she was young. Before Tobias, the only time she ever blushed with a man around was when she was still a junior in school.

He was too handsome and Lucy liked him a lot.

"Tobias, we meet again." Lucy smiled at Tobias.

When she smiled, he could see her white teeth.

Lucy looked adorable.

Tobias was a little dazed.

Natalie was in his mind once again.

When Natalie smiled, she looked the same. She would reveal her white teeth too.

After a while, Tobias came to his senses.

Her name was Lucy and she was not Natalie.

No woman could ever replace Natalie.

"I'm here to talk about our engagement." Tobias restrained the emotions on his face.

Lucy let out a sigh of relief.

What a cold man! He was so indifferent when it came to an engagement. But she liked him a lot, what could she do?

Lucy smiled sheepishly and said, "Auntie told me about it too. But do we need to get to know each other first? Should we date first?"

In fact, Lucy thought that it would be best to get engaged that night. It would be even better if she could sleep with Tobias too.

But girls should be shy, shouldn't they?

It was especially true for the men in Glevania, they liked shy girls the most.

She could not act so harshly and unrestrained in front of Tobias. She might scare him.

"That's not necessary because we don't have any feelings for each other at all. Even if we make the effort, we won't develop any feelings for each other." Tobias was direct.

His gaze became deeper and darker. All of his experiences and intelligence were concealed.

Lucy was stunned.

After a while, there were doubts in her eyes when she looked at Tobias.

Tobias looked at Lucy and his tone was no longer as cold as it was earlier, "Lucy, if you really want to marry me, then I need to tell you something. I promised to marry you for a very strong reason. I don't have any feelings for you. Not now, not ever in the future. Will you still be willing to marry me? Would you still be willing to have an engagement with me?"

Lucy was petrified.

After a while, she put on an embarrassed smile, "A deliberate marriage. Don't you have any feelings for me? Then are you going to use me in our marriage?"

"Yes." Tobias said bluntly, "If you don't want me to use you, you can decline it."

He wanted to know Natalie's whereabouts through their engagement.

But he could not be so cruel as to make a woman a victim without her knowing it.

"Actually, it's quite good to be used by a handsome man like you. We can try." After a while, Lucy suddenly said.

She supported her chin with her hand, and her eyes were sparking. There was a trace of ethereal charm in her eyes.

An astonishment flashed in Tobias' eye

"Are you sure?" He stared at Lucy with his deep eyes, "You're just being used, are you really willing to do that? Our engagement is just a show."

Just a show?

Lucy licked her dry lips.

Then she might not be able to sleep with Tobias. If she couldn't, then the act might not be worth it.

She wanted to ask Tobias, but she felt embarrassed to say that.

In the end, Lucy decided to take a bet.

"I agree." Lucy nodded.

A look of bewilderment flashed across Tobias' eyes.

The engagement between Tobias and Lucy would be held by the end of the month.

Cecilia felt that it was too hasty.

But Lucy insisted on it, so Cecilia could only compromise.

Lucy smiled and told Cecilia that Tobias liked her very much.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

She did not doubt what Lucy said. She thought that Tobias might have some feelings for her.

After all, Lucy was cute and beautiful.

After walking out of the Whitlock family's residence, Lucy felt a little lost.

In fact, she lied to Cecilia and she did not see any affections in Tobias' eyes at all.

She did not know how to describe Tobias.

He looked like a gentleman, but he was not a gentleman too.

For example, he only had an engagement with her to use her, which was obviously not something a gentleman would do.

But he told her so frankly and also about the consequences too. With that, he did act like a gentleman.

Lucy thought that it was strange, she really couldn't understand him.

However, she was very willing to take a gamble.

She would bet on whether she could sleep

with Tobias.

Time passed slowly.

The day of Natalie giving birth was closing in too.

She watched the news.

Because it was the first time she was going to give birth, Natalie was feeling tensed.

When she had nothing to do, she would search the internet to read about other people's experience in giving birth.

The more she read and the more she knew, the more it became terrifying for her.

Her water bag bursted.

When the water bag burst, it meant she was due for delivery. Its content would enter the mother's blood circulation which might cause severe damage to the lungs, problem with blood pressure and many other organ failures. It was a disease that had a low chance of occurrence but with an extremely high death rate. The death rate was over 80%.
