My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) -
Chapter 498
After a while, Tobias and Remington walked out.
Tobias's expression did not look too good.
Remington appeared as he usually did with a casual and lazy attitude.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
Trying to be positive, she imagined that Tobias had decided to back off because of the long conversation he just had with Remington.
"Let's have dinner together." Natalie let out a hollow laugh.
"There's no need for that." Tobias's eyes fell on Natalie's face, "Natalie, I'll take you back."
"Natalie, I'll send you." Remington followed suit.
Tobias's gaze turned to Remington, sending him a message to back off.
Remington pretended not to notice.
"A fair fight." His mouth twitched. His voice was low enough to ensure that only Tobias could hear.
Tobias tried to calm himself down.
If he had enough faith in his relationship with Natalie, he had nothing to fear!
"Natalie, who do you want to send you home?"
Tobias's gaze once again fell on Natalie's face.
Natalie was mildly confused.
Noticing Tobias and Remington's behaviours, she wondered if they had actually come to an agreement there.
"Remington, give me a ride." Natalie did not hesitate for a moment.
She wanted Tobias to give up on her. Of course she would not choose him.
There was a slight change in Tobias's expression.
Natalie plucked up her courage and followed Remington out.
She let out a sigh of relief after getting into Remington's car.
It was not until that day did she realize that the rumors about how terrifying Tobias could be were all true.
She had only ever seen his soft side. Today, she finally saw how he was like when he was displeased. Remington started the engine.
"Remington, what did the two of you talk about when you were inside?" Natalie calmed down and asked. He glanced at her sideways, "Do you really want to know?"
"Of course I do."
Remington chuckled lightly, holding onto the steering wheel, he looked at the rearview mirror.
A Lamborghini was following them from behind.
It had been following them at a constant pace the entire time.
Sparks danced in Remington's eyes.
It seemed that Tobias was serious about Natalie.
A trace of irritation creased his eyebrows, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you." Remington raised his eyebrows.
Natalie was at a loss for word.
"Forget it."
Something tugged at Remington's lips, "Tobias doesn't believe in our relationship."
Although Tobias did not say anything, he clearly knew that her so-called "boyfriend" was fake. He knew that she had only used him to fill up the vacancy.
Natalie held her breath and asked, "How did he figure it out?"
"Do you think he's a fool?" Remington asked lazily.
She was flustered, "Then what should I do?" "If you turn this act into reality, he won't pester you
anymore."
Natalie instinctively refused, "No way!"
"Natalie, can't you give me a chance?" Remington looked meaningfully at her.
Guilt was painted on Natalie's face, "I'm sorry, Remington."
She did not have the slightest bit of feelings for Remington. This was something she could not force.
Remington smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He did not say anything else.
Natalie's hands were clasped together.
She felt apologetic towards Remington.
She was not interested in him at all, but she had asked for his help.
But other than him, she had no idea who else to look for to be her pretend boyfriend.
Along the way, Natalie's heart was filled with complicated regrets. Soon, they arrived at the apartment.
"I'll walk you home." Remington said after stopping the car.
"I can go up on my own." Natalie declined politely.
After all, Yvonne was busy. She was usually the only one in the apartment.
It was not a good idea for her to be alone with him in the apartment.
He glanced into the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you sure you don't want a certain someone to give you up completely?"
Following his gaze, Natalie looked over and her mouth opened slightly.
She caught sight of the Lamborghini.
Of course, she recognized it. That blue sports car belonged to Tobias.
Tobias had been following them all along...
Natalie's had mixed feelings.
Since they were already acting, it was only right to make it seem as real as possible. Although Tobias did not believe that they were in a relationship, they still had to play their parts well. Natalie and Remington went up to the apartment together.
Less than a minute after entering the apartment, there was a knock on the door.
The knock on the door was steady and powerful.
Remington raised an eyebrow, "There's no need to open it."
Natalie's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Needless to say, she knew who was at the door.
The big boss was personally knocking on the door, would she dare to ignore him?
Well, it seemed that she did not have the courage to.
"I think it's better to open it." Natalie smiled awkwardly at Remington and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was indeed Tobias.
The man's emperor-like aura felt out of place in the shabby corridor of her apartment building.
Natalie forced a smile and said, "Nice to see you, Mr. Whitlock."
Tobias's eyes fell on Remington, who was sitting on the sofa in the apartment. Then, his expression hardened.
A moment later, his looked back at Natalie, "Do you mind if I come in?"
"Of course I mind." Natalie thought to herself.
However, she did not have the guts to say it out loud.
"Of course I don't mind." Natalie said the opposite of what she was thinking.
Tobias walked in.
She couldn't tell if it was her mind playing tricks
on her.
But when Tobias entered her dilapidated apartment, the room felt like it was full of radiance. However, there was also a strong sense of oppression.
Two men were simultaneously in her small apartment. Natalie felt helpless.
For a moment, the whole room fell into a dead silence.
Natalie coughed lightly.
"Would either of you like some water?"
No one answered.
Feeling embarrassed, she touched her hair.
"How about coffee?"
"I want to drink the coffee that you usually make for me." Remington suddenly said.
A cold, blade- like glint flashed across Tobias's pitch-black eyes.
"Natalie, you don't have to force yourself. Just rest." Tobias said.
Natalie did not know what to do. At that point, it seemed wrong to go make some coffee, but it also seemed wrong not to.
The atmosphere in the apartment was too awkward and brutal.
"Then I'll go use the bathroom." Without another word, Natalie quickly slipped into the bathroom.
She really had no idea what to do.
When she was in the safety of the bathroom, Natalie dialed Yvonne's number.
"Yvonne, please. You must pick up this time. Please." Natalie prayed.
God bless her, Yvonne finally answered her phone.
Natalie said hurriedly, "Yvonne, it's extremely urgent. You must come back soon, you must! The sooner the better!"
