My Heart only Beats for You

At the banquet full of gorgeous gowns and tuxedos, Natalie was the only one in sportswear.

"That was special." Tobias corrected her.

Natalie's grip on her phone tightened, "Mr. Whitlock, you're really not joking with me?" "No," chis swift reply, without any hesitation.

Tobias's dark eyes looked as if it was immersed in the deep blue of the sea.

After a while, he repeated his question, making Natalie blush and her heart beat faster, "Natalie, do you like me?" The light was warm, casting a soft glow on Natalie's long lashes.

She did not know how to answer.

Did she like the big boss? Whenever she saw him, her face would turn red and her heart would quicken, and she was not repulsed by his intimate acts.

But could a nobody like her even think about being with a guy like him? Natalie was in a dilemma.

For a moment, they could only hear the sound of each other's breathing over the phone.

In the end, Tobias broke the silence, "Natalie, don't worry about it. We'll talk when I get home." Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Goodnight, then. I'm going off to bed," she said, anxious to hang up the phone.

Her nerves were all over the place.

But when they ended the call, Natalie suddenly felt disappointed.

He hung up just like that, huh? What else did she think Tobias was going to say to her? That night, Natalie could not sleep. She was completely restless, unable to fall asleep for even a second.

She had always thought that nothing could be more important than getting her beauty sleep.

Alas, she was wrong.

After a restless night, Hayden had already woken up but she was still lying in bed with her eyes wide open. Hayden waved his little hand in front of her, "Natalie." Natalie looked blankly at him, "Huh." "You've turned into a panda." Hayden pointed at her eyes.

Natalie felt for her eyes, which seemed to be swollen.

She figured that there must be dark circles around her eyes because of the one night of sleep she had lost.

"Natalie, let's go have breakfast." Hayden pulled on Natalie's hand.

She shook her head, "You go ahead, I didn't sleep at all last night." Hayden's eyes turned in thought, "I know. It must be because my father is away. You miss him so much that you can't sleep, right?" He was half right.

Though Natalie's insomnia was not because Tobias was away, it was indeed because of him.

She simply said a little sheepishly, "Little kids shouldn't talk about things they don't understand." "I'm not a child anymore. If you have something on your mind, you can tell me. I won't tell my dad," Hayden said eagerly, "It'll be our secret." Natalie's mouth twitched as she watched him get all excited.

Was Hayden really just a kindergartner? Why did he seem so mature? But no matter how muddle-headed she was, she would never tell a child her worries.

Natalie buried her head in a pillow and said, "No more talking, I'm going to sleep." Hayden pouted, "Fine." With that, he jumped off the bed and pattered off.

After he left, Natalie let out a long sigh.

Good heavens, what should she do? Her heart was in utter chaos, all because of Tobias's words.

After staying in bed pondering over things for a while, Natalie felt a twist of hunger in her stomach.

She got up to have breakfast.

Although she was a little disoriented, breakfast was still very important.

If she skipped breakfast, how could she have enough energy to continue letting her imagination run wild? Hayden was no longer home. A servant told her that he had gone off with the driver to pick someone up. Several questions rose in Natalie's mind.

Hayden had gone to pick someone up? Who was he fetching? But she did not give it much thought. She already had so many things on her mind that she did not have tto worry about anything else.

After having a hearty breakfast, Natalie no longer felt as starved.

She touched her bulging belly, feeling comfortable and content, sleepy even.

Her mind was not as chaotic as before either.

Sthings gradually becclear in her head.

Tobias said that he liked her, and she did not dislike him.

Besides, living in the Whitlock family's hwas rather agreeable.

There were people around to prepare her meals, and Hayden was an adorable kid.

It did not seem that bad.

The corners of Natalie's mouth lifted, an answer already forming in her mind.

After thinking it through, the weight on her mind felt significantly lighter. Soon, drowsiness swept over her.

Natalie went to the bedroom to take a nap.

While asleep, she had a dream.

In the dream, Tobias had proposed to her.

Very shyly, she asked Tobias why he liked her.

He had told her affectionally that her strange outfit and unusual table manners during the night of the annual party had caught his attention.

To meet such an extraordinary woman was a rare phenomenon! Natalie beamed sweetly and accepted Tobias's proposal.

The wedding ceremony was exceptionally grand, with Hayden as their flower boy.

There, Hayden called her "Mommy" non-stop.

When she had first met him, Hayden said that he wanted her to behin stepmother She never expected it to actually ctrue. Natalie woke up from her dream.

The young voice of Hayden calling "Mom! Mom!" was still lingering continuously in her ears.

Natalie was embarrassed with her own imagination.

The big boss had only told her that he liked her, but she was already thinking about marriage and becoming Hayden's mother.

Her creativity was really out of this world.

"Mom, you look so beautiful today." Natalie heard the boy's delicate voice again.

Natalie froze.

It was not a dream.

In the living room, she saw Hayden sitting on a woman's lap, who had her arms around him in a really sweet manner.

The woman was slender and gorgeous with her black, lightly curled hair - a picture of poise and elegance.

"Mom, you're so beautiful." Hayden stared at Lucy Lance with star-like eyes.

Lucy poked Hayden's forehead, "This little mouth of yours is still so sweet. You really are my son." Natalie stopped short.

For sreason, the moment she saw the woman before her, the little ball of joy in her heart slowly drained away.

So, this woman was Hayden's mother.

She looked so beautiful and lovely.

Hayden was the first to spot Natalie.

He jumped up from Lucy's lap and ran to Natalie, "Natalie, this is my mom. She's beautiful, isn't she?" Pride was evident in his tiny puffing chest.

"Beautiful, she's absolutely beautiful." Natalie gave a dry smile.

When Lucy saw Natalie, confusion flashed across her eyes.

Was this woman not Remington's girlfriend? Why was she in Tobias's house? Lucy's gaze darkened slightly.

In the Whitlock family's house back in the United States, Lucy had already suspected that there was something off about Natalie. Even though she was Remington's girlfriend, she kept asking Lucy about Tobias.

And now she was in the Whitlock family's villa again. Could it be? X
