My Heart only Beats for You

"How did you know I'm here?" Natalie asked Remington.

"When I woke up, I saw that you weren't there." "Then why didn't you call me?" "I guessed that you were probably nearby. Besides, I wanted to walk around," Remington said, sitting down as he took a huge swing of beer.

Natalie watched Remington, impressed. The way he downed the beer resembled the handsprotagonists in movies.

Just then, she asked again, "How did you know I was nearby?" He turned to look at her slowly, his eyes gleaming like the stars in the night sky.

"I know you well, Natalie. You will never leavealone when I have a fever and when there is no one around to take care of me. You must be nearby." Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

She felt a lump forming in her throat.

Remington was only a friend of hers, but he understood her so well.

But Tobias? Although they were no longer together, they used to call each other soulmates. Yet, he didn't understand her at all.

If he understood her even a little, he would not have said those cruel words earlier.

Maybe with a little understanding, he would not have let her suffer for four years for no reason.

Perhaps, he never truly cared about her.

Natalie gave a dry laugh.

"Tell me, Remington, if someone doesn't know you well, does it mean they don't care about you at all?" Although Tobias had said that he cared about her and loved her, he probably did not mean it, did he? Remington's eyes narrowed as he guessed, "Is this about Tobias?" Natalie turned away, avoiding his gaze.

He had guessed it right. Was it so painfully obvious? "Not only are you literally a fox, Remington, you also think like one," She muttered.

Remington's expressions grew serious as he frowned, "Natalie, you toldthat you and Tobias are never getting back together." He paused and continued, "I don't blyou for getting back with him when you lost your memory, but now that you remembered everything, you shouldn't contact him anymore. Have you forgotten all those things that he did to you?" Natalie froze.

"I haven't forgotten. I would never forget that," She grimaced a while later, pain written all over her face.

The reason she had suffered so much was because she could not forget.

"Then why are you still thinking about him?" Remington's eyes threatened to burn holes right in her. Natalie's fingers twitched.

She lowered her head and said nothing.

For a moment, the two of them were silent.

They drank quietly, downing one bottle of beer after another.

"A person's mind is one of the greatest mysteries of the world," Natalie whispered after a while, a little tipsy. "Yes, indeed," Remington echoed.

It was hard to guess a person's mind. Even Natalie herself could not figure out her own thoughts.

"Let's get drunk," She raised her bottle of beer at Search The Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Remington, flashing a grin.

Remington smirked.

He lifted his glass and clinked it against hers, "Cheers." They both had their own troubles weighing on their minds.

It didn't take long for countless empty beer bottles to be piled on their table.

In the end, they realized that beer could not satisfy their cravings.

The beer only managed to make them tipsy. It was almost impossible for the two of them to get drunk solely on beer.

"How about svodka?" Remington raised an eyebrow, challenging Natalie.

"Let's do it!" Natalie slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "It's not like I have never gotten drunk before." Remington immediately called for the waiter and ordered sbottles of vodka.

Vodka was much stronger than beer. Both of them were already tipsy from the amount of beer they had earlier, and after only a few shots, both of them were completely drunk. All along, Benjamin had thought that Tobias' weakness.

Now he realized that he was wrong.

In fact, Natalie was Benjamin's nemesis.

was When he was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, Tobias woke him up with a call.

He was shivering from the cold when he got up from his bed.

However, Tobias's voice was even colder. It was as though someone had placed ice cubes under Benjamin's skin, and that successfully woke him completely.

Tobias wanted him to investigate Natalie's location and check if she had returned to her apartment.

Benjamin was speechless.

Tobias could have confirmed this by calling her himself. There was no need to ask him to investigate.

But Tobias was his boss after all.

Benjamin did not dare to stall further and went to work at once.

He tried calling Natalie, but she did not answer the phone.

He resorted to checking where she was manually.

Soon, he found that Natalie was somewhere on the streets near Remington's place.

Benjamin's eyelids twitched, an ominous feeling creeping upon him.

Tobias had already asked him to investigate Natalie's location before this. At that time, he had already realized that she was at Remington's place.

That was hours ago. Logically, Tobias should have brought Natalie back already. Maybe they had a fight on the way back and Natalie had run away in a fit of anger. That could explain why Tobias had to ask him if she had gone home.

However, to his surprise, Natalie was still with Remington.

Benjamin's eyelids started twitching uncontrollably.

He was afraid that if he told Tobias about this, he would get mad. After much serious consideration, he decided to drive there and have a look first.

He followed Natalie's location when he reached the street and spotted Natalie and Remington in a barbecue restaurant.

Both of them were heavily drunk.

They sat across each other heads and upper box with their resting on the table, their arms sprawled out. They were out cold for sure. Benjamin walked over to them and called out Natalie's name, but she did not respond.

When he was at a loss for what to do, his phone rang. It was Tobias.

"Did she return home?" Tobias sounded terribly cold.

His voice was chillier than the wind in the middle of the night, and it sent a shiver down Benjamin's spine.

Benjamin shuddered.

He had never lied to Tobias, and of course, he wasn't about to lie to him now either.

"M- Mr. Whitlock, I found Miss Godfrey and Mr. Remington in a barbecue restaurant. The two om them... Benjamin paused to scan the bottles of liquor on the table, then continued, "The two of them seemed to have drank a lot. They are both drunk." "Bang!" There was a loud crashing noise on the other end of the line.

Benjamin winced. That sound almost broke his eardrums.

Then, the call was cut off abruptly.

Benjamin could imagine exactly what was going on on Tobias's side.

Tobias must have smashed his phone in a fit of rage.

Benjamin clutched his chest tightly. His heart was beating rapidly against his ribcage.

He stood there and waited.

He was certain that Tobias would call him again.

After all, Natalie was the only person on earth who could make Tobias this mad.

Tobias was always at a loss whenever she was around.

Benjamin understood that it was because Tobias loved her deeply His love for Natalie had blinded his senses, making him lose all trace of rational thought. There was no way he could control his emotions now.

Benjamin knew that Tobias would call him back and tell him what to do next because he still cared about Natalie.

Sure enough, Tobias called again after ten minutes.

His voice was no longer cold and angry. This time, he sounded worn out and helpless.
