My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 761

Natalie's eyes widened. "But there are still a lot of things that aren't clear yet. I waited so long for Jessie to wake up, but I barely spoke to her before we left, just like that. I still have a lot of questions to ask her! At this point, she only knew that her father had been shot to death, and that her mother committed suicide by gun after giving birth to her. Other than that, she was clueless. She didn't even know what her parents' names were, nor what they looked like.

Why had Tobias brought her back in such a hurry?

"She hasn't told me who my parents are yet. Does she have a photo of them? I haven't even seen the person who killed my father," Natalie said anxiously.

Tobias turned his eyes away from Natalie. "Natalie, forget it. The past is the past, there's no point in dwelling on it."

His words riled Natalie up once more. "What do you mean it's in the past? It's not over, how could it be over?"

"Calm down, Natalie," Tobias placed his hands onto hers and continued, "Then tell me, how is it not over yet? What do you still want to do? Do you want to seek revenge with the person who killed your father?" Natalie was at a loss for words.

After a moment, she shook her head bitterly. "No. How could I have such naive thoughts? It's just that... That person had killed my father and caused my mother to commit suicide. How am I supposed to act like nothing happened?"

"Natalie, he didn't kill your father out of a personal vendetta. He was just doing his job."

The bitterness in Natalie's expression grew. "I know that it was just his job, but that's from your perspective. It's different for me; I'm the daughter of the victim. How could I possibly view this the same as others?"

"Natalie," Tobias further lowered his voice. "No matter what happened, it's all over now."

Natalie bit her lip.

After a while, she pleaded earnestly with Tobias, saying, "Tobias, take me back to North Europe. I still have a lot of things to ask Jessie, and..."

Natalie paused. Her long, thick eyelashes couldn't stop trembling. "Help me replace the army official who shot my father. I know that you have the ability to replace him. Help me search for him, I want to see him." Natalie knew that Tobias could do anything. Helping her replace the army official and arranging a meeting with him would be a piece of cake.

Natalie looked expectantly at Tobias.

However, he wasn't even looking at her.

He stood up and said, "Natalie, the weather is lovely today. Let's go out for a bit, we haven't gone for a night stroll in a long time."

Natalie's eyes were filled with disappointment.

She had a strange feeling, but she couldn't pinpoint it.

Somehow, she felt that Tobias was avoiding something.

However, what could it be?

Could it be that even though he said that he didn't hate her, since her birth father was a spy, perhaps he did feel a certain level of disdain for her. Despite that, he still loved her, so he kept avoiding the topic of her identity.

Hence why he was in such a rush to bring her home.

Natalie's face was a little pale.

Still, she didn't say anything. She followed Tobias out of the villa and got into the car.

"Natalie, where do you feel like going?" Tobias asked Natalie after they got in the car.

Natalie lowered her head. "Up to you."

She didn't feel like going anywhere. She had just found out about her tragic backstory, how could she feel like going out?

The only thing she wanted right now was to meet Jessie again and obtain more information about her parents.

She also only wanted to see that army official, the person who had shot her father dead and indirectly caused her mother's death.

Tobias glanced at Natalie, then started the engine.

The car drove out quickly.

Natalie was silent along the way.

Tobias drove to the downtown area. Up ahead was Agaphen City's popular pedestrian zone.

He got out of the car.

Natalie was still sitting inside.

"Natalie, please come down," Tobias said gently.

Natalie was a little angry. She said, "Why don't you go? I'll sit here and wait for you."

Tobias sighed.

"Natalie, be good, listen to me."

He spoke so gently that it could melt hearts.

Natalie's lips twitched.

After a while, she got out of the car.

Tobias immediately took hold of Natalie's hand.

The heat from his palm passed into Natalie's entire body, but she still felt that her heart was somewhat cold.

It was an inexplicable kind of coldness.

Tobias deliberately brought Natalie to a place full of people.

It was crowded and bustling.

He had hoped that the lively atmosphere could infect Natalie.

Unfortunately, it didn't succeed.

When they were halfway through the street, there was a popular beverage shop with a long queue. Lots of patrons were waiting for their turn. Tobias asked Natalie, "Natalie, do you want one?"

Had it been the past, Natalie's eyes would have lit up at this scene as a foodie. However, this time, she felt nothing.

She shook her head. "No, I don't."

Complicated emotions surfaced in Tobias' gaze.

He took Natalie's hand and continued to walk forward.

"Tobias, I feel like something's off with you,"

Natalie suddenly said after a mere few steps.

She stared at Tobias, her eyes wide open.

Under the moonlight, Natalie's eyes were covered with a strange lustre.

Tobias smiled forcefully. "Natalie, you're thinking too much."

"No, I'm not," Natalie said stubbornly.

She could clearly feel that Tobias was indeed behaving oddly.

Ever since they had visited North Europe and Jessie had revealed her identity, Tobias had become very strange.

She was absolutely certain that this wasn't her delusion.

Tobias was behaving very oddly.

"Natalie, you're really overthinking things."

Natalie bit her lip and said nothing.

The both of them continued to walk forward. As they walked, they saw a young pair of parents who were holding a little boy's hands and passed by them.

A strange look flashed through Natalie's eyes.

Tobias noticed the change in Natalie.

He asked, "Natalie, do you miss Hayden? Do you want to give him a call?"

Natalie nodded without hesitation.

Although she and Hayden would call each other every day, seeing the young parents and the little boy made her suddenly miss Hayden.

Tobias dialled Hayden's number.

He put it on speaker. Natalie could clearly hear Hayden's voice.

"Dad, you called? I've just woken up and you're already calling me!" Hayden's excited voice came through the phone.

There was a time zone difference between the United States and Glevania.
