My Heart only Beats for You

There was no fixing a broken soul like Natalie's.

"Natalie, you are too heartless," Tobias studied her face intently.

Natalie snorted, "You think I'm heartless because you're not the one in pain." "Natalie, I have suffered too," Tobias muttered under his breath, feeling much dejected.

Her eyelids fluttered.

She lifted her head to glance at Tobias. His handsfeatures were filled with sorrow and regret.

Yes, he had indeed suffered too.

However, the pain that he had felt was far from what she had experienced. Could their pain really be comparable? They had forcefully separated her from her own flesh and blood, and for so many years, she had mourned for her child that she thought was dead. Would Tobias ever understand the torture that she had gone through? Besides, he had brought it onto himself.

As for her, she never asked for any of it.

She could never let go of the fact that he had blindly believed in that ridiculous and absurd lie without even performing a DNAtest beforehand. The two of them as siblings? Natalie always felt like laughing dryly every tshe recalled this.

They had looked nothing alike! Furthermore, their personalities were polar opposites.

Tobias had always been careful and intelligent. How could he believe in such a ridiculous joke? That was the reason why she could not let go of this matter.

Natalie could only assthat it was because his love for her was not strong enough.

They were not meant to be together. That was why even God had to separate them, tand again.

If that was the case, they might as well refrain from being with each other altogether. SeaR*ch the Find Nøvelwebsite on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Natalie tilted her chin at him, her eyes clear and certain as she declared, "Tobias, your suffering has nothing to do with me. It's all your fault." Her voice was monotonous, conveying no emotions.

Tobias felt his heart tighten to the point that he didn't even feel like breathing.

He winced and asked, his voice sounding much in pain, "Natalie, when did you becso cold?" Natalie's gaze wavered a little.

True. When did she becso cold? Perhaps it was after she had recovered from her amnesia. She had started to realize a lot of things since her recovery.

"I'm cold?" She met his gaze solemnly, "Have you ever experienced the joy of a mother carrying a life inside of her, Tobias? What about the horror of being forced to abort the baby? It feels much like falling straight from heaven to the pits of fiery hell." "Have you ever experienced being abandoned by the whole world, only to rely on the baby in your stomach? Have you ever felt the agony of not being able to hold your child after carrying him for almost a year, especially after bringing him into the world with such difficulty? Do you even have an idea of how that feels?" "Do you know how hopeful and elated I was when I was about to marry the man that I loved? But shortly before our wedding, my love suddenly wanted to break up with me. Do you know how sick and heart-wrenching that felt?" Natalie's questioning made Tobias turn pale.

"Natalie..." He croaked.

He did not know what to say.

He thought that as long as Natalie remembered everything, she would forgive him once he clarified the misunderstanding. Everything would be just like before, and they would be lovers once again. Now, he finally realized that he had made a huge mistake. He was wrong. Very, very wrong.

He had underestimated all the torment that Natalie had to bear because of his actions.

The pain, suffering and agony had been etched deep into her bones. How could she ever forget it? Soon enough, it was almost their turn for the photoshoot.

The staff called Natalie's name. It was tto do her makeup.

She changed into the clothes prepared by the studio. Then, the makeup artists there started helping her do her makeup.

"Your skin is so smooth! You don't even need to use foundation," The staff complimented Natalie as she helped her with the makeup.

Natalie flashed her a polite smile.

"I suppose the three of you are here for a family photo," The staff continued to make small talk.

Natalie's gaze froze in mid-air.

She stared at herself in the mirror and noticed that her face was a little pale.

She did not know if it was because of the foundation or if her expression was originally ashen.

A family photo? "Yeah," She whispered.

The staff was indeed right. They had chere for a family photo.

The staff began putting on smascara for Natalie, all while commenting, "Among the many families who have cto our stufor a photoshoot, we admire your family the most. Your son is adorable, and your husband is so handsome! Everyone is..." "Please continue with the makeup," Natalie cut off the staff's words.

The staff immediately took the hint.

She smiled a little awkwardly and said nothing more.

Finally, it was tfor their photoshoot.

It was Hayden's first ttaking a family photo, and he was as happy as a lark.

He had been running around in the studio, constantly asking Natalie if he looked handsome.

In the middle of the photoshoot, he even whispered into Natalie's ear, "Natalie, we really look like a family. Daddy is here, and Natalie, you look just like my actual mommy." Natalie's eyes started to water a little.

How was she going to tell him that she was indeed his mother? Before she could say anything, the photographer instructed them to change poses.

This time, the photographer ordered Tobias and Natalie to snuggle close as Hayden stood in between them while making a heart gesture.

Natalie's body was stiff as she leaned against Tobias' chest.

Fortunately, the photoshoot ended in the blink of an eye.

"You are a photogenic family! I have never had a photoshoot that ended so quickly before." The photographer exclaimed pleasantly, "You three must have a close bond with each other." It was already evening when the photoshoot ended.

Hayden's stomach growled.

He had been eating hamburgers and fries for breakfast and lunch, so he did not want to eat them anymore.

Just then, they passed by an all-you-can-eat buffet. Hayden immediately perked up, nagging that he wanted to try it out.

Tobias frowned as he looked at the restaurant.

Natalie could see from Tobias' expression that he did not want to bring Hayden in.

Perhaps, he thought that kids weren't supposed to eat at buffets.

However, Natalie felt that it was not a big deal.

Noticing Hayden's pleading expression, she could not help but give in, "Let's take him there." Tobias immediately agreed as soon as she suggested it.

Later, Hayden whispered in Natalie'sear, "Natalie, you're so powerful. I've wanted to try eating at a buffet for a time, at long time, but Daddy would always long say no because it is not good for children. However, he leteat here as soon as you asked!" Natalie and Hayden began to grab various dishes from the counter as soon as they entered the restaurant.

They only chose the food that they liked to eat.

It was Hayden's first teating at a buffet. He volunteered to help Natalie scoop the foods into their plates as he chattered away excitedly.

Natalie liked to eat ribs, so she took sfor herself.

Suddenly, someone placed another piece of rib onto her plate.

Natalie looked up and noticed that it was from Tobias.

"It's okay, I can do it by myself," She said.

"Lethelp you. You are holding two plates," Tobias insisted and placed two more pieces of ribs onto her plate.

Natalie said nothing further.

Hayden was here with them, so it would be better if she stayed quiet.

Besides, she was glad to see Hayden so happy. She didn't want to ruin the cheerful and familial atmosphere they had at that moment.

On the other hand, Hayden noticed Tobias scooping food for Natalie, and he began to whine about the unfair treatment he had received from Tobias. He pouted in discontent, "Daddy, you know that I like meatballs too, but why didn't you helpget some?"
