My Heart only Beats for You

"Natalie, I didn't bring Hayden here as a chess piece." Cecelia was quick to explain.

"The way I see it, that's exactly what you've done," Natalie retorted.

Cecilia went silent for a moment.

"Auntie, if there's nothing else that you want to say, I'm heading back upstairs. I want to spend stwith Hayden," Natalie said.

"Wait, Natalie." Cecilia looked at Natalie. "Do you know why Tobias got in a car accident yesterday?" Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Her thick, feathery eyelashes covered her eyes.

"Natalie, Tobias was in a hurry to look for you. He didn't pay attention to the road and ran into a construction site." All of a sudden, Natalie felt a strong wind blowing in her ears, which made them ache a little.

"Oh, I see," she uttered in a low voice.

Cecilia looked at Natalie, her eyes full of pain. "Natalie, do you really have no feelings for Tobias anymore? Are you really going to be so heartless towards him?" She thought that Natalie would feel something if she told her the cause of Tobias' car accident. However, she did not expect that Natalie to be almost completely unaffected.

Natalie's thick eyelashes trembled. "He was heartless tofirst. That's why I'm acting like this." "Natalie, Tobias had his reasons for acting that way." Cecelia's eyes bectearful.

Natalie did not want to continue the topic further.

She looked at Cecelia solemnly and spoke clearly. "Auntie, there's nobody in this world who just can't live without someone else. I'm still so young, I want to have a life of my own. Tobias is young and rich, I'm sure there are plenty of women out there for him. If that's the case, why should we be so obsessed with each other? Why not give each other the chance to find our own happiness instead of torturing each other?" "Since you two are still single, why can't you choose each other?" Natalie bit her lip. "I have a lot of choices, but none of them include Tobias." "Natalie!" "Auntie, let's stop talking about this. If you want to talk about Hayden, I'm more than willing to join you. But if you want to talk about Tobias, then I'm sorry but I really have nothing to say." Natalie ended the topic switly.

Cecilia's lips trembled.

Before she could say anything further, Natalie had already turned around and left.

It was almost evening when Hayden wanted Natalie to have dinner with him at the Whitlock family's villa. "Natalie, cwithand I'll get Daddy to chand apologise to you," Hayden said.

Natalie kissed Hayden's cheeks and said, "Hayden, I'm more than willing to spend twith you, just the two of us, but not if I have to go to your house. I'll play with you again, okay? Just the two of us." A disappointed expression immediately surfaced on Hayden's face.

Cecilia, who was beside them, hurriedly spoke up. "Natalie, calong. Hayden would love it if you chwith us." Natalie frowned, slightly irritated.

She had just told Cecilia that she didn't want Hayden to be used as a tool. Yet Cecelia was doing it again, albeit subconsciously. She looked at Cecilia with indifference, "Auntie, I have a dinner date with someone." Cecilia was taken aback.

"A dinner date?" "Yes, with my classmate. Tobias isn't the only man in my life, Auntie." Cecilia's expression changed slightly.

On the other hand, Hayden immediately got nervous. "Natalie, are you going to run away with swild man?" Natalie was speechless.

She patted Hayden's tender face softly. "Hayden, don't talk nonsense. I have my own social circle, and he's not a wild man." Hayden pouted his little mouth and rebuked, "I don't care. All men besides my dad are wild men." "What about you?" Natalie stared at Hayden.

It was Hayden's turn to be dumbstruck.

He sighed sadly, "Natalie, you setup." Natalie smiled. "I didn't set you up, Hayden. You shouldn't say things like that anymore." Hayden was a little upset.

He held Cecilia's hand and mumbled, "Grandma, since Natalie doesn't want to accompanyhome, then well leave now. Natalie wants to be with that wild man, and notand Daddy." Natalie could tell Hayden was unhappy because of her.

But she did not say anything.

Although it was a little cruel to him, Hayden would know sooner or later that it was impossible for her to get back together with Tobias.

Since he was going to realise it sooner or later, there was no need to hide the truth and no need to drag the matter out.

Cecilia wanted to say something to Natalie, but she hesitate and just looked at Natalie.

"Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you for taking care of Hayden," Natalie said.

Cecilia immediately understood what Natalie meant.

Her eyes were full of sadness.

"Okay." She answered in a low voice.

As Cecelia walked towards the door with Hayden in tow, Hayden suddenly stopped in his tracks. Search the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

He turned back and looked at Natalie. "Natalie, you still have to eat withnext time. Just the two of us, okay?" Natalie nodded heavily. "Okay." Hayden broke out into a smile again.

A child's disappointment and displeasure always cand went quickly in the blink of an eye.

After Cecilia and Hayden left, Natalie got lost in her thoughts for a while.

She still couldn't bear Hayden's upset and disappointment from before.

But she had no other choice.

Forcing herself to go to the Whitlock family villa, to sit down and have a meal with Tobias, oxeven forcing with herself to accept Tobias just because of Hayden's disappointment? That was absolutely impossible. Since that was the case, she had to wipe out all her pity and soft-heartedness.

Just as Natalie was having these mixed feelings, someone knocked at the door.

Without guessing, Natalie knew that it should be Sebastian.

As expected, it was Sebastian at the door.

He seemed to have made extra effort to dress up.

Sebastian was still in sportswear when she saw him in the morning, but now he was in a suit.

It really had to be said that Sebastian was born to be a model.

He was tall and thin, and the suit looked particularly smart on him.

However, Sebastian didn't have the typical aggressive temperament or bluntness of a man in a suit. Instead, he gave off the vibe of a gentleman.

"Natalie." Sebastian blushed. "Let's eat." Natalie nodded and followed Sebastian downstairs.

She'd thought that they were just going to have dinner at Sebastian's aunt's place, but Sebastian obviously had other plans. He led her out of the building.

On second thought, Natalie thought that it was a good idea. After all, it wasn't nice to put Sebastian's aunt ce to put Sebe through the hassle of preparing a meal. Sebastian's car was parked at the foot of the stairs. It was a popular car, a Toyota. "Sebastian, have you also bought a car?" she asked with a smile.

Sebastian nodded, his face still red. "I've managed to save up smoney, you know. I've been working for a while now, after all." After getting into the car, Natalie called Yvonne.

She wanted Yvonne to cand join them.

After all, the three of them were best university. Now that friends during had run into each she and Sebastian other again, it only made sense to invite Yvonne along. On the phone, Yvonne showed great surprise at Natalie's reunion with Sebastian, and she was even more surprised to find that the lady downstairs was Sebastian's aunt.

"D*mn, Natalie! The three of us are really destined to be together," Yvonne said.

She pestered Natalie to pass the phone to Sebastian.

After chatting with her for a while, Sebastian handed the phone back to Natalie.
