My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 763

Upon hearing Penney's words, Yvonne's eyes turned gloomy.

She had worked hard in the entertainment industry for a very long time, only to replace out in the end that her effort was all for naught. The only way it could work out for her was if she had an influential sponsor. If Jenkins liked her, he could make her a star.

However, if he didn't like her, he could also turn her career into dust.

"Penney, tell me, when will I be able to not rely on a man to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, instead of having all my efforts be in vain simply because I provoked a man?" mumbled Yvonne.

Penney patted Yvonne's shoulder. "Yvonne, don't think too much of it for now. You haven't grown enough yet to spread your wings and fly on your own. Wait until the time is ripe, then you can think about making a name for yourself."

"When the time is ripe, then there will be nothing to hold me back?" A thought flashed through Yvonne's mind.

Penney nodded and said, "Of course, but first, you must have the capital to do so. Everything has to wait until then."

Yvonne's mood instantly improved a little after hearing what Penney said.

In a quiet cafe.

Natalie spent an hour telling Yvonne about her parents.

It wouldn't have taken over an hour, but Natalie's thoughts were very scattered, so she had to keep piecing together various bits and pieces of information.

Within this one hour, Yvonne gradually recovered from extreme shock back to her normal composure.

Yvonne felt that in the past few days, she had gotten totally new experiences.

Tobias, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly came back to life. It even involved some high tech gizmo like an explosion-proof cabin. Yvonne felt like she had just watched a Hollywood action film. Right then, Natalie was explaining her bizarre identity.

Not to mention, it was an extraordinary kind of bizarre...

Yvonne felt that it was even more thrilling than a

novel.

She even suspected that it was fake.

However, she then remembered that Natalie and Tobias's love story was even more thrilling, yet it was a true story.

Hence, Natalie's birth story might not necessarily be fake.

She licked her dry lips and said, "Natalie, it's been so many years. Don't be too upset about it; it's all in the past."

Natalie's background was indeed quite pitiful. Her father was shot to death, and her mother committed suicide by a gunshot to the mouth. However, Natalie had never experienced all of it in person, after all. Besides, many years had passed since then.

Natalie's lips were a little pale.

She took a sip of coffee.

She had purposely ordered a sugar-free americano. It tasted bitter.

"Yvonne, I really don't understand why Tobias was in such a hurry to bring me back. He didn't even take my side. I asked him to bring me back to North Europe but he disagreed. He also refused to help me replace the army officer who shot my father. He wasn't like this before," said Natalie, perplexed.

Tobias used to be on her side unconditionally.

Yvonne looked astonished.

Honestly, she didn't understand why Tobias was acting like this either.

"Natalie, did you perhaps misunderstand him again?" Yvonne looked cautiously at Natalie.

Natalie shook her head and said, "How could I? What could I possibly misunderstand this time? He even risked his life for me, why would I think otherwise of him? I'm just curious as to why he did what he did." Yvonne pondered on it.

After a moment, she stated her perspective. "Natalie, perhaps he didn't want you to return to North Europe because he didn't want you to be fixated on vengeance. In the same vein, he refused to look for the army officer for you because he didn't want you to be swallowed by hatred and pain. The officer was only carrying out his duty, after all. He didn't have any personal vendetta against your father, which is why Tobias doesn't want to dwell on this."

Natalie bit her lip. A myriad of emotions flashed within her eyes.

Yvonne's explanation did make sense.

However, Tobias still didn't truly understand her yet. If he did, then he definitely wouldn't act like

this.

"Yvonne, I want to make a trip to North Europe personally," said Natalie adamantly after a while.

Yvonne's eyes widened.

Yvonne decided to help Natalie.

Since Natalie wanted to go to North Europe, then she would help her.

This wasn't a huge deal to her, either way. Natalie wasn't going to take revenge; she just wanted to know more about her parents. Natalie asked Yvonne to look for Benjamin and get Tobias' latest itinerary, so that she could arrange a trip to North Europe. This began to make Yvonne feel a little confused.

If Natalie wanted to know Tobias' schedule, she could just ask him directly. Why did she need to go through so much trouble?

She asked Natalie, who replied bitterly, "He doesn't want me to go to North Europe. Actually, I could just go there directly, but I don't want to upset him, so I've decided to go there in secret." Yvonne's breathing hitched.

She looked at Natalie warily and said, "Natalie, don't you think that you're being too cautious?"

Yvonne didn't say that she even felt that Natalie was being a little pathetic.

This was Natalie's own identity! If Tobias didn't want her to go, she could totally tell Tobias that she insisted on going anyway. Why did she have to do it so sneakily?

This made her seem so pathetic and lowly.

Natalie shook her head.

She sighed and continued, "Yvonne, if I were still the old me, I would definitely think the same as you, but I don't anymore. Now, I think that two people who are together must respect each other. Although I can't understand why Tobias won't allow me to go, I think that I still need to respect him. If I go against his will directly, it would only make him unhappy. It's better for me to go when he's unaware." Yvonne still couldn't figure it out.

"Yvonne, he even risked his life for me. I should compromise to a certain level," Natalie added.

Only then did Yvonne finally understand.

"Alright, I'll invite Benjamin over."

Natalie nodded gratefully. "Then don't tell Benjamin that I was the one who asked about it. Otherwise, Tobias will hear about it instantly."

Yvonne smiled and said, "Of course I know that.

Don't worry about it."

Benjamin did not expect Yvonne to call him and even ask him to have lunch together.

After hanging up the phone, Benjamin was dazed for a few minutes.

After some time, he rushed into Tobias' office.

He wanted to ask Tobias for a leave from work.

He was supposed to have work to do in the afternoon, but now that Yvonne had asked him out...

Benjamin suddenly felt like his work could be thrown aside.

Tobias frowned upon seeing the unusually excited Benjamin.

Benjamin had been with him for many years and had never asked for work leave. However, this time, he was suddenly asking for it. In fact, he was so excited he seemed as if he had taken stimulants.
