My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 612

Natalie heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Simon."

"Tobias is my friend, it's what I should do. But Miss Godfrey, there is something I still want to say." Simon couldn't help it. "I'm not going to comment on all the twists and turns you two have been through, because everybody has their own opinions. However, I just want you to know that Tobias really is a catch."

Natalie's eyes sparkled faintly.

"I know," she replied.

At the same time, she gave a soft sigh from the bottom of her heart.

How could she not know that Tobias was indeed a rare, good man?

But she'd already been deeply harmed once, and she was afraid of going through something like that again. Natalie had to admit that she was too selfish, and that she was scared of getting hurt again.

Moreover, she had already gotten herself into a dead end. There was no way out.

After finishing their call with Simon, Tobias returned.

As promised, he brought back a box of steaming fresh croissants.

Natalie casually put the box on the table. "I suddenly don't feel like eating it anymore."

Tobias coaxed her good-naturedly. "Natalie, when I got there, they'd already sold out. I had to ask them to bake some fresh ones. The owner said that they taste best when they're fresh. Come on, give it a try."

His eyes were as clear as a pool, reflecting Natalie's face. He was so focused on her, as if she was only one person left in the world.

This kind of gaze was irresistible, making people feel like their entire hearts, minds and souls were wrapped in unconditional gentleness.

It was cozy, snug, and comfortable.

"Okay then," Natalie answered in a low voice.

Tobias held a croissant close to Natalie's lips.

Natalie opened her mouth and chewed off a small bite.

It was still warm. It truly tasted much better than when it had cooled off.

Natalie's heart rippled.

No wonder Tobias had been gone for so long. It turned out that the croissants had already been sold out, and Tobias had waited for the shop to make a new batch. "How does it taste?" Tobias stared at Natalie, his eyes twinkling.

Natalie nodded. "It's delicious, try some."

"Okay." Tobias smiled, but then fed her another croissant.

As soon as Natalie swallowed, Tobias's lips pressed onto hers.

His hot tongue pried open her lips and teeth.

"It does taste good." He spoke slowly, full of tenderness.

Natalie's felt her heart skip a beat.

"I'm sleepy. Let's go to bed."

"All right."

"Can I sleep with Hayden?" Natalie asked tentatively.

"Natalie, I'll sleep with you." He turned down Natalie's request.

Natalie's eyelashes trembled and she did not speak.

That night, Tobias held her as tightly as the night before.

His passionate embrace was suffused with deep love.

Was it nice?

To Natalie, yes. Yes, it was.

From the time he bought her the croissants, everything seemed so beautiful and sweet.

But Natalie also remembered the past clearly.

Once upon a time, she had also had a sweet time with Tobias.

But behind the sweetness was a pain so great that it could swallow one whole, like a huge wave.

She didn't want to make the same mistake twice.

Natalie slowly closed her eyes. Beneath her thick eyelashes, a faint trace of despondency flashed in her eyes.

It was still the same the next day.

Tobias brought Natalie to the president's office.

He placed her on his lap, clinging to her.

While he worked, he would also pepper her with kisses. The day before, it had just been light pecks, whereas on this day he smothered her with deep, passionate kisses. When they broke off, the ambiguous atmosphere made Natalie feel flustered.

She couldn't remember

many times she had been deeply kissed by Tobias. Each tim

kissed her, it was all-encompassing.

Natalie could tell that Tobias had a heavy workload on this day.

However, he still kissed her time and time again.

Natalie suddenly remembered what Benjamin had said to her the day before.

The executives gossiped that Tobias was "blinded by lust".

Natalie could only look forward to Simon's arrival that night.

Perhaps under Simon's mental guidance, Tobias would get better.

After work, Tobias took Natalie out for dinner.

He even took out a form for Natalie, on which was a long list of restaurants.

He looked at her lovingly. "Natalie, I got someone to come up with this list of all the restaurants in Agaphen City that suit your tastes. In future, we can try each and every one of these restaurants." Natalie forced out a smile. "Let's go home tonight.

I want to eat at home."

Tobias held onto Natalie's hand. "Alright, it's up to you."

By the time they returned to the villa, Simon was already there.

When Tobias walked in, Simon gave him a big hug. "Tobias, it's been a long time."

Tobias patted Simon's shoulder. "Why are you here all of a sudden?"

Simon glanced at Natalie, who was standing beside him. "It's been a long time since I've seen you. I wanted to talk to you."

Hayden interrupted them. "Daddy, this uncle is really awesome. He asked me to choose a few paintings and immediately knew what I liked to eat and do. Isn't that cool?"

Tobias's lips curled into a smile. "Let's eat first."

Dinner was already prepared.

After dinner, Simon noticed a small detail.

Tobias had been piling food onto Natalie's plate. He would look at Natalie from time to time, and when he looked at her, the corners of the mouth would show a faint smile. However, Natalie's eyes were a little uneasy and flurried in contrast.

He had a grasp of the situation.

After eating, Simon pointed outside the living room. "Tobias, let's go have a walk outside."

Tobias's gaze immediately fell on Natalie's face.

Natalie forced herself to smile and said, "You should have a good chat with your friend since you haven't seen each other for so long. I'll stay here with Hayden." Tobias nodded before leaving with Simon.

Outside the villa was a huge garden, with blooms and lush greenery carefully tended to.

The fragrance of the flowers was calm and relaxing.

"Did Natalie ask you to come?" Tobias suddenly opened his mouth and asked in a low voice.

A look of astonishment flashed in Simon's eyes.

"You know."

Tobias' smile turned bitter. "She was really resistant to me before, but she's been strangely gentle and accommodating these two days. Something had to be off." Simon's eyes flashed with a mysterious gleam.

As expected of Tobias, he was still so perceptive of the whole matter.

"I won't hide it from you, Tobias. Miss Godfrey thinks you're acting a little morbid now." Since Tobias knew about it, Simon might as well be honest.

Tobias's eyebrows drooped slightly, and his eyes flashed with a moment of dejection. "To tell you the truth, I also feel that I'm getting a little sick."

He had always wanted to respect Natalie.

But everything that he'd done over the past two days was completely disrespectful of her. Especially when he'd taken her forcefully. That was more cruel than anything. However, he couldn't control himself nor his behavior.

"Simon, I'm too afraid of losing her," Tobias said in a slow and helpless tone. "I can wait, I can wait however long it takes, but on the baseline that I know I won't lose her. But right now, I can't see her feelings fo me in her eyes. Simon, I'm teetering on the edge."
