My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 774

"Maybe this is what they call love," Natalie thought to herself.

People always liked fresh things. That was why they got bored. If two people were together for a long period of time, they would get bored once that sense of freshness disappeared.

However, love would never fade.

That was why love was eternal.

Ten days passed by very quickly.

A few days later, Cecilia, Selina and Hayden came home.

Hayden must have eaten a lot of food high in calories in the foreign country. It hadn't even been that long, but his body had definitely puffed up.

Looking at Hayden's plump figure, Natalie couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Just how much did you eat to get your face this round?" Natalie cooed, squishing Hayden's cheeks.

Hayden stared at her with his wide eyes. "I ate lots and lots! I ate hamburgers and fries everyday!" Natalie was speechless.

With the amount of fattening food that he had eaten, it was unsurprising that he gained weight.

Hayden took the chance to put the blame on Selina. "Natalie, Aunt Selina is so mean! She's always stealing my food. I'm so angry!"

"You little brat! How dare you complain when I'm the one who's buying you all this good food?" Selina pulled his ear.

Cecilia laughed as she said, "Selina, no offense, but all these hamburgers are all junk food! You shouldn't let Hayden indulge in them all the time."

"Mom, you're right. I won't take this brat out to eat anymore." Selina agreed immediately.

Hayden was petrified and immediately hugged Selina's leg. "I'm sorry, my beautiful aunt!"

Selina burst into laughter.

Natalie was infected by the cheery atmosphere.

All of them were sitting on the sofa and chatting with each other.

Cecilia and Selina had previously gone to the hotel to look at Natalie's wedding venue.

They both agreed that it was not extravagant enough.

Although it was the best hotel in Agaphen City, the place was still too shabby for a wedding venue in the eyes of the upper class, like Cecilia and Selina. "Natalie, my brother is rich. You don't have to skimp at all! You can pick the best place in the world for your wedding," Selina told Natalie. Natalie smiled.

Her eyes glinted. "Selina, it was my father's wish for me to get married in this hotel. I would like to make his wish come true."

Selina's breathing came to a pause, and her face was filled with embarrassment.

Cecilia patted Natalie's hand. "You're still thinking of your father, Natalie."

Natalie's gaze trembled slightly while she nodded her head.

It felt strange. She had clearly seen a photo of her biological father.

However, Zeavier rarely crossed her mind. Every time she thought of her father, it would always be James.

The light in Cecilia's gaze carried warmth in it. "I'm sure your father would be delighted to see how happy you are right now."

Natalie bit her lip.

She started wondering what it would be like if James was actually still alive. She pictured him at

her wedding.

He would definitely smile.

There would be a blinding smile on his wrinkly face.

He would be happy and proud of her.

The corners of Natalie's mouth curled up into a smile.

A warm, fuzzy feeling buzzed through Cecilia as she saw Natalie's smile. "What a wonderful bond the two of you have, just like me and my father..." Natalie's smile froze.

"Auntie!" She abruptly interrupted her.

Cecilia looked at Natalie in surprise.

Natalie cleared her throat and calmed herself down. "I'll cut some fruits for everyone."

"Alright." Cecilia nodded.

Selina smiled and exclaimed, "Natalie, I want mangoes!"

Hayden immediately pitched in, "I don't want mangoes. Watermelon for me, please!"

Selina poked Hayden's forehead. "Watermelon? All you think about is watermelon. Look! Even your face looks like a watermelon right now."

Hayden gleamed, looking proud. "My name has always been Melon, I'm called Melon Whitlock."

Selina was instantly riled up. "Hey, when did you change your name, you brat? Tell me about it!"

Hayden deliberately turned his face to the opposite direction and ignored her.

Meanwhile, Natalie rushed into the kitchen.

Her hands were trembling as she was cutting the fruits.

When Cecilia mentioned her own father earlier, her heart was in disarray.

Santiago had killed her father, then indirectly caused her mother's death.

Natalie bit her lower lip even harder.

No matter what, even if Santiago was just carrying out his duty, how could she be with Tobias as the victim's daughter? How could she even be sitting here and chatting away so happily with Cecilia? However, she still did so without hesitation. She pretended as if nothing had happened at all.

Natalie's eyes were brimming with tears instantaneously.

Suddenly, Natalie cut her finger with the fruit knife.

Fresh blood gushed out of her finger.

Natalie was in a daze.

The sharp pain in her finger brought her back to reality.

She quickly rinsed the blood off her finger.

Her gaze slowly hardened.

She had already chosen Tobias in this lifetime. No matter what, nothing could ever separate her and Tobias again.

She walked out with the bowl of fruits in her hands.

Cecilia was the first to notice the cut on Natalie's finger.

"Natalie, what happened to your hand? It's still bleeding!" Her eyes were fixated on Natalie's finger.

Natalie lowered her gaze. Indeed, she had just rinsed her finger, but it was bleeding again.

"I'm fine. I accidentally cut my finger when I was slicing the fruits just now."

Cecilia stood up immediately. "Natalie, you should be more careful."

Her words were laced with thick concern.

Cecilia got some disinfectant and a band-aid.

She carefully disinfected Natalie's fingertip and put a band-aid over the cut on her finger.

Her eyes were filled with concern and distress the entire time.

Her expression show her genuine feeling, which couldn't be faked.

Emotions flashed in Natalie's gaze.

She gritted her teeth.

What happened in the past should remain in the past.

She would not allow herself to think about it again from now on.

She had the best mother-in-law and the best husband in the world. They were enough for her, and nothing else mattered.

When Tobias came home in the evening, Cecilia told him about Natalie's small incident.

Tobias immediately sat Natalie down so that he could carefully examine her wound.

His solemn expression made it seem as if Natalie had suffered some serious injury.

Natalie felt a little helpless. "Don't look at it anymore. It's just a small cut on my finger. I'm fine."

"Is something on your mind?" Tobias looked at Natalie with a concerned gaze.

Natalie's breathing halted.

She shook her head later. "No, why would I have something on my mind?"
