My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) -
Chapter 666
Hayden was stunned for a moment.
"Why do I need to change my name?" He asked in confusion.
Natalie's voice softened. "Hayden, don't you think your name doesn't really suit you? You're so cute. Wouldn't you want a lovelier name to be worthy of you?"
On the other end of the line, Hayden's eyes lit up, and his dark eyes rolled as the cogs turned in his head.
"Natalie, I've thought of something. I know what I want my name to be!" Hayden said excitedly.
"Tell me." Natalie's interest was also piqued.
"I'll change my name to Melon Whitlock!"
Natalie was at a loss for words.
Baffled, she asked, "Why do you want that name?"
What a strange name Melon was.
"Because it sounds nice." Hayden became increasingly excited. "It's just as well that I like melons. Melon Whitlock is the best name ever."
Natalie was speechless.
She regretted asking Hayden to think of a name
for himself.
Natalie interrupted his excited blabbering, "Hayden, let's think about it some more."
"No." Hayden seemed very determined. "I've already made up my mind. My new name will be Melon."
Natalie urged, "Let's think about it again."
"No. If you don't agree, I'll call Daddy." After that, he hung up.
Natalie did not know how to react. This situation was truly a first for her.
Hayden wouldn't actually call Tobias to tell him that he wanted to change his name to Melon, right?
In YS Group president's office.
Tobias received a call.
As soon as the call was connected, he heard Hayden's excited voice. "Daddy, I heard you wanted to change my name." Tobias's gaze stuttered.
How did Hayden know that he wanted to change his name? Could it be that Natalie had told him already?
The slight frown on Tobias' face relaxed immediately.
He'd initially been worried that Hayden wouldn't want to.
But now, judging from how animated Hayden sounded, it seemed that he had been overthinking.
"That's right, Hayden. We want to change your name," Tobias affirmed gently.
"Daddy, I've made up my mind. My name will be Melon Whitlock! You can change it to that!"
Tobias was speechless.
His relaxed brows suddenly scrunched together again. "That's ridiculous."
Usually, when Tobias' tone became serious, Hayden would admit defeat and listen. But this time, he seemed to have made up his mind for good.
He said in a firm tone, "No! Dad, I'm not messing around. I want my name to be Melon. I love eating melons the most, so I want my name to be Melon too." Tobias was speechless.
He felt a headache coming on. How could he have such a peculiar son?
"We'll talk about it later," Tobias said in a low voice.
On the other end, Hayden squealed delightedly, "That's settled then. From now on, call me Melon."
Tobias didn't know what to say in response.
After he hung up, he made a call to Natalie.
The first thing Natalie said was, "Hayden called you."
"Yeah." There was helplessness in Tobias's voice.
Natalie clutched at her hair. "Hayden called me before that, and I told him about you wanting to change his name. I asked him to think about it, but I didn't expect him to come up with such a name." Tobias gave a soft sigh, "Natalie, Hayden is just like you."
Natalie said nothing.
She was speechless and asked, "Am I really that strange?"
"Don't you know yourself? Natalie, your mind worked so weirdly especially when you were twenty. I was amazed." Tobias couldn't help smiling when he recalled when they'd first met.
On the other end of the line, Natalie was stunned, a little embarrassed.
When she was twenty... she suddenly recalled herself singing on stage with a colourful wig on, and how she'd sold fishnet stockings online.
Natalie felt heat rush to her cheeks.
"You don't need to mention the past," Natalie said in extreme awkwardness.
Who wasn't young, dumb, and broke once?
"Okay, okay. I won't mention it." Tobias suppressed his grin."Natalie, have you thought of where should we bring Hayden this weekend?"
"Not yet," she answered honestly, a little sheepish.
Fortunately, Tobias had done his research.
He suggested, "It's not convenient to go somewhere too far since we only have the weekend. Since you and Hayden both love eating, let's go to Cameron City. There's a lot of delicious food to eat to your heart's content."
Natalie beamed when she heard this. It was perfect!
She had already heard that Cameron City was a foodie's paradise.
"Okay, it's decided then. Well go to Cameron City."
After hanging up, Natalie took a trip to the club where she'd worked.
She went to the administrative office to complete her resignation papers.
When she came out, many colleagues surrounded her, gushing with envious expressions.
"Natalie, you're so lucky that you got yourself a rich man."
"That's right. It hasn't been long since you came here, but you've already caught someone's attention."
"I don't know if I'll ever have such good luck."
"Natalie, you don't know how many people applied to be a server here today. I guess what happened to you must have spread. Everyone wants to be the next you." Natalie was a little taken aback.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry. Amidst the gossip and babble, it took her quite some time and effort to get away from her former colleagues.
Then, Natalie took a taxi back to the apartment.
This private club was located in a rather remote place, so there were no buses available.
When she reached her apartment, Natalie stopped in her tracks.
A Lincoln stretch limousine was parked downstairs, with a row of bodyguards clad in black waiting.
Puzzlement flashed across Natalie's eyes.
Who could it be, putting on such a show?
She was just about to head upstairs when someone stopped her.
One of the bodyguards looked at her expressionlessly. "Are you Miss Godfrey?"
Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
Were they here for her?
"Yes, I am," Natalie answered hesitantly.
"Our boss wants to see you." The bodyguard's tone was stiff.
Natalie's heart panicked slightly.
Judging from the bodyguards' rigid attitude, they were not so easily dealt with.
Who on earth was it?
As she was forced to follow the bodyguards, she secretly took out her cell phone to call Tobias.
However, as the window rolled down when she approached the car, Natalie paused.
She recognized the aged, stern face in front of her at first glance. It was Tobias' grandfather of all people, Peter.
Natalie dispelled the idea of making a phone call.
Since it was Peter, there was no need for her to call Tobias.
It might anger Peter.
Natalie greeted him crisply, "Hello, Grandpa Peter."
Peter's face, who was already frowning, darkened at once. He barked. "You're not allowed to call me Grandpa. You don't deserve it!"
Her heart sank a little at the old man's reaction.
It wasn't someone easily dealt with, after all. Peter's attitude towards her was very aggressive.
