My Heart only Beats for You

It was a call from Sebastian. They'd exchanged phone numbers earlier.

Natalie hesitated for a moment, because she thought of what Tobias said.

After a while, she felt that she was overthinking.

Natalie picked up the phone.

"Natalie, where are you?" Sebastian sounded a little anxious.

"I'm at my place, alone," Natalie said.

Sebastian heaved a sigh of ease at Natalie's reply. "I'm afraid of him. I'm afraid he might do something bad to you. I was just thinking about whether I should call the police." Natalie felt a little helpless. At the stime, she felt that the whole situation was a little funny and the corners of her mouth twitched.

He was still too naive.

Arrest Tobias? She was afraid that the police would put Sebastian in handcuffs first.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Natalie comforted. She also did not want Sebastian worrying about her.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

"Sebastian, what's the matter?" On the other end, he stammered hesitantly. "Natalie, Mr. Whitlock is not suitable for you." Natalie's gaze froze slightly.

Seconds later, she answered a little bitterly, "Sebastian, I don't need you to remindof this. I know, I know that he is not suitable for me. He and I are not from the sworld, I can see that." She used to be blindfolded, but now she could see this fact clearly.

She'd finally managed to see the truth after all her tears and blood, as well as all her years of torture and pain. When it cto Tobias, Natalie didn't want to bring the topic further.

She rubbed the space between her eyebrows. "Sebastian, if there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up." "Wait, Natalie." "Is there anything else?" Sebastian's heavy breathing cfrom the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong?" Natalie asked.

"Natalie, my, my feelings for you..." Sebastian plucked up the courage to say.

Natalie's tone was affirmative and firm.

"Sebastian, you and I are not suitable for each other. I've already given birth to a child, and you're still unmarried." "I don't mind, Natalie," Sebastian answered without hesitation.

Even when they were still studying, he'd wanted to confess his feelings to Natalie.

Unfortunately, he knew about the relationship between Natalie and Tobias.

He knew that Tobias was better than him, so he just wanted to bless Natalie silently.

But now that Natalie was no longer together with Tobias, maybe he could be there to make her happy. "Sebastian, we don't suit each other, truly," Natalie repeated.

It was not just because of Tobias' warning, but also because she had always regarded Sebastian as just a friend. But now that he'd confessed to her, it was only right for her to reject him directly. "Natalie, you can get used towith time." "You can't force things like feelings, Sebastian." Natalie's straightforwardness was a strong blow to Sebastian.

He lowered his voice and said, "Natalie, it doesn't matter. I will always wait for you." Natalie suddenly felt a headache incoming.

She rubbed her forehead. "Look, let's just leave it at that. I'm really tired, so I'm going to hit the sack now." "Okay," he answered, somewhat disappointedly.

Natalie could hear how disheartened he was, but she still promptly hung up.

Natalie didn't sleep well. She tossed and turned all night long.

The next day, she woke up early.

Usually, when she woke up in the morning, Natalie would make herself something. But at this time, she was really not in the mood to cook. After washing up, she thought about going downstairs to buy something to eat. As soon as she went downstairs, she bumped into someone. It was Sebastian's aunt, Shaney.

"Good morning, Aunty." Natalie greeted Shaney politely.

Shaney becexcited when she saw Natalie.

She pulled Natalie to the corridor and asked, "Natalie, how was your dinner with Sebastian last night?" Natalie had guessed the reason when she saw the excitement in Shaney's eyes.

She felt a little awkward and said, "It was alright. Aunty, Sebastian and I are just normal classmates." Shaney immediately said, "How can you two just be friends? Even I can see Sebastian's eyes light up whenever he sees you. I have never seen him like this with other girls." Natalie was speechless.

Shaney continued to blabber on without a care.

"When he was in university, he toldthat he liked a girl. I kept asking him who it was, but he refused to tell me. Now I suppose the girl he was talking about was you." "Even after graduating from university for so many years, he has never looked for a partner. He may have been thinking about you all this while." "Aunty, maybe it's just because he hasn't met anyone." Natalie could not help but interrupt euphemistically. "How so?" Shaney's loud voice filled the corridor. "Natalie, you and Sebastian are very suitable. You and him aren't getting any younger. Lettell you, back in remote villages, people your age already have children old enough to help with chores!" Natalie was rendered speechless once again.

Shaney's spittle flew as she continued, "Since you don't have a boyfriend and Sebastian likes you, why don't you letbe your matchmaker and give him a chance? What do you think? I assure you that you'll give birth to cute babies in a year's time!" Natalie was at a loss for words.

"Excuse me, Aunty, I have errands to run. Let's call it a day." Natalie cut off Shaney forcefully.

She knew that if she didn't say she had to leave, Shaney could probably rattle on non-stop and keep her there the whole day.

Shaney saw that Natalie was busy, so she stopped talking. "Oh, go on then. I will talk to you next time." Natalie nodded awkwardly and hurried downstairs.

Just as she walked down the stairs, she bumped into someone else.

Natalie stopped in her tracks.

The man in front of her was tall and handsome, his luxurious clothes standing out from the shabby corridor. Who else could it be, aside from Tobias? There was a flash of surprise in Natalie's eyes. "Why are you here?" As soon as she finished her words, her heart skipped a beat. Search the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Tobias couldn't have heard her Shaney's words, could he?

She was not afraid of what Tobias would do to her, but afraid that Tobias would do something to m Sebastian... Tobias did not answer Natalie's question but handed her a paper bag. "Take it. You mentioned that coffee and donuts tasted good once. I happened to pass by a coffee shop on my way to the company, so I brought you some." Natalie was taken aback.

She didn't expect that Tobias would still remember a small detail that had happened so long ago. It was something that had happened before she'd woken up from her dream. Moreover, Natalie knew that the route to YS Group would not pass by that coffee shop at all. It was impossible for Tobias to get it on the way. He went there on purpose. For a moment, Natalie's heart was full of mixed feelings. Tobias had been so enraged the night before. Yet here he was, early in the morning, bringing her breakfast.

Right in front of Natalie was a trash can.

She knew that to put an end to Tobias's fantasies of her and make a clean break, she should just throw the paper bag in her hands right into the trash can.

However, she could not bring herself to do it.

She couldn't do it at all.

Natalie's thick and long eyelashes trembled.
