My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) -
Chapter 538
Natalie was immensely embarrassed.
She had only just met Cecilia last night, and she cringed at the thought of letting Cecilia feed her.
But she couldn't bring herself to reject such kindness.
She had no choice but to go along with Cecilia.
Cecilia fed Natalie very carefully. Her movements were gentle when she scooped out a spoonful of porridge from the thermos and brought them to Natalie's lips.
As Cecilia leaned close, Natalie noticed the concern in between Cecilia's furrowed brows.
At that moment, she felt a pang in her heart.
Tobias's mother was remarkably nice to her.
Although she was still a little confused by Cecilia's unusual hospitality, she was moved by her sincerity.
She felt warmth spreading in her chest.
Cecilia apologized to Natalie after feeding her. She blamed herself for cooking so much seafood the night before, indirectly causing Natalie to end up in the hospital. Natalie's guilt intensified after listening to Cecilia's apology.
"Please don't say that, Auntie. It was my own fault. Everyone ate your cooking, but they're fine, so it's my own problem."
Cecilia insisted on blaming herself. "It's definitely my fault. I'll be more careful the next time I cook."
Natalie did not know what to say.
Tears gathered in her eyes as she fought the sudden urge to cry.
At that moment, she felt so loved.
Her ward was lively for the entire morning, as Cecilia and Tobias were not the only ones who came to visit her.
Another girl also came to see her that afternoon.
Natalie wasn't sure to describe her as a girl or a woman.
Physically, she looked like a woman.
Yet she was joyous and bubbly like a little girl.
As soon as she entered the ward, she giggled and pulled Natalie into an embrace. "Long time no see, my dear sister-in-law." Natalie was dumbstruck.
Did she know her?
On the other side, Cecilia shot Selina a warning glance.
It didn't take long for Selina to understand what Cecilia meant.
When they were in the United States, Cecilia told Selina everything that had happened to Natalie under Selina's heavy questioning.
Realization dawned on her.
No wonder Tobias suddenly broke up with Natalie and wanted her to abort their baby at that time.
It turned out that all of it was just a misunderstanding.
A terrible misunderstanding!
Selina broke away from their embrace and smiled at Natalie. "Tobias is my brother. You're dating him, right? So, you're my sister-in-law from now on." Natalie gaped at her.
Sure enough, the Whitlock family was as direct as they come.
But somehow, perhaps due to their close age, she had a good impression of Selina, and she wanted to get close to her.
Natalie finally returned to the Whitlock family's villa that evening.
By the time she arrived home, Cecilia and Selina were already there.
Natalie was excited to see the dining table filled with various kinds of dishes.
Hayden did not know what happened to Natalie in the hospital. He thought that Natalie just came home from work.
It was also the first time Selina met Hayden.
Hayden was her little nephew that she thought ceased to exist.
Hayden's angelic and handsome appearance was an instant delight. She doted on him so much, and she couldn't stop herself from constantly teasing him.
During dinnertime, she waved to Hayden, who was sitting opposite her. "Come here, Little Carrot."
Hayden's eyes widened as he looked up to stare at her.
His black and round eyes looked even more adorable when he stared at her like that.
She had never seen such an adorable child in her life.
He pointed at himself with his chubby little finger. "Are you talking to me?"
"Of course I am. Come over here, you Little Carrot."
She flashed him a goofy grin.
Hayden snorted loudly and yelled, "Little Carrot? I'm not a Little Carrot!"
"Yes, you are, Little Carrot," she teased.
Hayden seemed displeased with his new nickname.
He glared at her with his big round eyes and shouted, "I am not a Little Carrot. You are!"
Selina smiled at him lovingly and said, "Listen up, Little Carrot. I'm your aunt."
Hayden crossed his hands in front of his chest and refused to look at her.
She waved at him and said, "Come here and give me a hug."
He immediately shouted, "No! I don't want to."
He was still angry with the nickname that she just gave him.
"You don't want to come, huh?" She threatened with a drawl.
"I won't!"
"Well." Selina snickered and said, "My classmate has an ugly daughter. Her face is as big as a pancake, and her eyes are as small as pinholes. My classmate is worried that she can't replace a husband. I'll tell my classmate not to worry anymore because I am going to let you marry her."
Hayden's jaw dropped.
That scared him out of his wits. He was terrified. Really terrified.
He immediately toddled towards Selina and looked at her with his big, puppy-dog eyes. "I don't want to marry that girl, Aunt. I want to marry a girl as beautiful as Natalie. Does your classmate have a daughter as beautiful as Natalie?"
Natalie almost choked on her food.
Hayden was quick to change his attitude.
He had been so stubborn just now, but he turned obedient in an instant. This boy was really something else.
Selina caressed Hayden's baby cheeks and giggled. "You have a keen eye, just like your dad. I will introduce you to my classmate's most beautiful daughter!"
The house was filled with laughter for the entire night.
Of course, it was largely due to Selina's presence.
Natalie had grown increasingly fond of Selina as well.
She swore that she had never met another girl sweeter than her.
She brought smiles and laughter anywhere she went.
That night, Cecilia and Hayden shared a room, whereas Selina slept in another room.
Then, there was Tobias and Natalie.
Natalie was afraid that the incident last night would happen again.
Although she was already in a relationship with Tobias, she was not ready to sleep with him just yet.
She batted her eyelashes at Tobias and pleaded, "Mr. Whitlock, can we sleep in separate rooms tonight?"
Tobias read her mind.
"You're still not ready?" He raised his eyebrows questioningly.
She nodded, bobbing her head like a bird.
Clutching her belly, she pouted at him and muttered, "I had just recovered, Mr. Whitlock. You have to be considerate of a patient."
He chuckled, "Alright."
She did not expect him to agree so easily. She thought that she would have to exert a huge amount of effort persuading him.
That night, Natalie slept alone in a huge bedroom. It was the first time she slept alone since she moved into the villa.
She rolled on the bed, enjoying the softness of the sheets under her skin.
The corners of her mouth suddenly curved into a satisfied grin.
Although Tobias was crude and shameless, he was still quite a gentleman.
Natalie suddenly felt thirsty in the middle of the night.
Rubbing her eyes, she shuffled to the kitchen to get some water.
The satisfaction as water entered her parched throat made her groan a little.
When she was about to return to her bedroom, she heard an odd noise.
Natalie froze.
