My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 611

As expected, Benjamin spoke about what was on her mind. "Miss Godfrey, I think it's too, too inappropriate for Mr. Whitlock to be holding you on his lap while speaking with the company's executives." Benjamin's face reddened, and he said, "They might not dare to say anything in front of Mr. Whitlock, but I just heard them gossiping about Mr. Whitlock being lost in lust."

After all, there was probably no other president in the world that could be found with a woman on his lap right in his office when discussing work with his executives. If word were to get out, it would turn him into a laughingstock.

No one would have expected that Tobias, someone always known to be cool-headed and mature, would do such a thing.

Natalie's face turned pale.

After a while, she nodded. "I understand."

"Miss Godfrey, please don't tell Mr. Whitlock..." Benjamin stopped mid-sentence.

"I understand, Mr. Simpson. You don't have to worry."

Natalie knew very well that Benjamin was a loyal employee.

In fact, there was no need for him to tell her this. After all, even if Tobias' employees were talking about it, they dared not to say anything in front of him.

The reason why Benjamin decided to tell her in private was to protect Tobias' image.

A little later, Tobias returned to his office.

He immediately held Natalie in his arms, his lips caressing her ear. "Natalie, I think I'm going to have to bring you with me for the next meeting. It feels like it's been ages since I last saw you." Despite his warm words of love, Natalie felt more spooked than touched.

Back when she was on good terms with Tobias, even if his emotions got the better of him sometimes, he'd still be able to keep a cool head.

But now, it was obvious that he had lost all his sanity.

Before, Tobias also asked her to wait for him in his office and stole glances at her from time to time.

But at least he didn't do things like insisting she sit on his lap without a care for his employees' thoughts.

After a while, Tobias placed Natalie on his lap once again.

"Tobias," Natalie suddenly called his name.

"Yes?"

"Don't you think it's bad for us to be acting like this? Me sitting on your lap?" Natalie said in her softest tone possible. "And why would it be bad?" His hands tapped on the computer keyboard.

"It's inappropriate if your employees were to see us."

"What's wrong with that, huh?"

"People will gossip," Natalie said in a low voice.

Tobias chuckled.

He kissed Natalie on the right cheek. "Natalie, I want everyone to know that you are my woman. You can only be with me." His words were full of unbending determination.

Natalie's heart tensed.

When they arrived at the villa that night, Natalie suddenly mentioned that she was hungry.

She looked at Tobias. "I want the croissants on West Street."

"I'll get the servants to buy it," Tobias said immediately.

Natalie shook her head. "No, I want to eat the ones that you bought yourself."

An eager light flashed in Tobias' eyes.

"Okay." He planted a kiss on Natalie's forehead. "Wait for me."

Natalie nodded.

Cecilia, who watched them from the side, was astonished to see this scene.

She thought that Natalie had finally reconciled with Tobias.

But after some pondering, she felt that it was impossible. Just the day before, Natalie's attitude was still so determined. How could they have made up a day later?

After making sure that Tobias was gone, Natalie walked up to Cecelia. "Aunty, I have something to discuss with you."

Looking at Natalie's serious expression, a strange feeling washed over Cecelia.

She nodded. "Go on, Natalie."

There was a hint of anxiety in Natalie's eyes. "Aunty, have you noticed anything wrong with Tobias these two days?"

Cecilia was taken aback.

Something was wrong with Tobias?

Was there?

She felt that Tobias was no different from his usual self, the same as always.

She looked at Natalie and said quizzically, "Natalie, you're overthinking things. It's just that Tobias is in a better mood with you staying here these two days. There's nothing wrong with that." Natalie shook her head. "That's not what I meant."

Cecilia thought for a moment and asked, "Natalie, are you talking about how Tobias forced you to come here? I can apologise to you on his behalf, but things are difficult for him as well. He was already trying hard to suppress his emotions when you were with Remington, and you know he can't bring himself to treat you too..."

Cecilia paused for a moment and could not replace the right words. She continued, "So he brought you here. Only by doing this, he could feel assured."

Natalie bit her lip.

She knew what Cecelia was talking about, but she still felt that something was wrong.

Natalie hesitated for a moment before telling Cecilia about everything that had happened in the past two days.

"Aunty, I feel like the way he's acting towards me, it's..." Natalie found it difficult to speak. "It's a little morbid."

Cecilia was taken aback.

"Aunty, believe me. I won't say these things for no reason. Can you please try to speak to Tobias?" Natalie looked at Cecilia pleadingly.

It was not only for herself, but also for Tobias' sake.

Natalie was unhappy about being imprisoned by Tobias, but when she saw the sickly affection he had for her, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She no longer hated Tobias for the things that happened all those years ago after replaceing out about the truth.

She just couldn't let go of the past nor accept being with him again.

But she really wished Tobias well, from the bottom of her heart.

Natalie hoped that he would have a happy family in the future, that they could live their own lives peacefully, not the morbid way Tobias was treating her now. Cecilia saw the pleading look in Natalie's eyes.

Her mind was a little confused.

"Natalie, is there really something wrong with Tobias?" She asked again anxiously.

Natalie's head gave a heavy nod.

Cecilia pondered for a moment. After a while, she thought of someone.

Simon.

He was an excellent psychologist and also a good friend of Tobias'.

When she was in the United States, Simon was the one who'd helped her with her mental recovery after she'd recovered physically.

Cecilia intended to consult Simon, and Natalie happened to know him as well.

After Cecilia dialed the number, Natalie spoke to Simon.

She gave him a rough explanation of the current situation.

"So you see, Simon..." Natalie's voice was low. "The way he looks at me now is mad and stubborn, and his actions have also started to get out of hand. I don't want him to be like this. I want him to replace his own happiness."

On the other end of the line, Simon was silent for a moment.

"Miss Godfrey." After a while, Simon spoke up. "According to your description, I don't think there's anything wrong with Tobias. It's just that he's starting to become more obstinate than usual. He's like this because he can't have you. If you're able to be less cruel and more accepting of him, I think that he'll naturally get better."

Natalie bit her lip once again.

"We're not right for each other," she said.

Simon did not say another word.

Simon was a psychologist. Naturally, he knew that if Natalie was able to say something like that under such circumstances; it meant that she'd really made up her mind to end things with Tobias. No matter what he said, it would be useless.

"Let me pay a visit to Glevania, Natalie, if you are really worried," Simon said. "I'll be there tomorrow night."
