My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"Mother." On the other end of the phone came Tobias' faint voice.

"Tobias, do you know what time is it? Why haven't you come home yet?" Unlike when facing Natalie, Cecilia's tone was very stern.

"I'm busy with work," Tobias was still indifferent.

Cecilia eased her voice, "Tobias, you have to come back even if you are busy with work. You and Natalie just got married. You can't just put her aside. Come back right now. I'll wait for you at home."

After that, Cecilia hung up the phone directly.

"Natalie, please don't mind it. Tobias is a busy man. As you know, he is the president of YS Group. Sometimes he might pay less attention to you so please don't take it to heart." Cecilia said to Natalie softly.

Cecilia was indeed very beautiful, and when she spoke to others gently, it instantly made people's hearts melt.

At that moment, Natalie also felt that warmness went right into her heart.

"It's okay. I'm fine," She said quickly.

After what Cecilia said, even if Natalie wasn't fine, she would be by now.

What's more, it was her fault. If she didn't doubt Tobias the other day, he wouldn't be neglecting her right now.

That man had treated her like a queen. Natalie felt that he was treating her even better than her own father. If only she hadn't messed things up.

Cecilia talked with Natalie for a while.

"By the way, is there any good news?" Cecilia looked at Natalie's belly.

Natalie's stomach was still flat.

Her cheeks flushed red instantly.

Nothing had happened between her and Tobias, how could she be pregnant?

Of course, she must not tell Cecilia about this.

"Nothing yet, Mom," Natalie smiled awkwardly.

Cecilia was deep in thoughts, "Next time I'll bring you to a fertility doctor. When you and Tobias sleep together, you'll get pregnant for sure."

Natalie was speechless.

Her face flushed even redder.

At this moment, there was some rustling sound at the door.

Natalie and Cecilia subconsciously glanced at the door. Tobias' tall and handsome figure soon appeared.

Natalie immediately looked away with her head hung low.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Her heart was beating rapidly.

Cecilia stood up, "Come, Natalie. Let's have dinner since Tobias is home now."

Natalie braced herself to stand up and went to the dining table.

Tobias sat opposite Cecilia.

Cecilia's eyes rolled. She pulled Natalie right next to Tobias and sat her down. "Natalie, as a couple, you guys should sit together. Why are you sitting across from each other?"

With Cecilia's insistence, Natalie had no choice but to sit down next to Tobias.

Next to him, Natalie smelled the faint musk of his scent.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Her heart beat faster.

God knew why she was so nervous.

The atmosphere during the meal was extremely tense. Tobias was silent all the way. Cecilia occasionally talked to Natalie, and she responded to Cecilia, but most of the time, she barely knew what she was saying. Her mind was in a mess.

After they finished the meal, Cecilia asked Tobias to send her and Natalie to the stall she had mentioned earlier.

Tobias kept silent as he sent Cecilia and Natalie there.

When they arrived, Tobias merely waited in the car, while Cecilia and Natalie sat down to eat.

Natalie didn't have much of an appetite. She had too many things on her mind.

Cecilia glanced at Natalie and asked casually, "Did you guys quarrel?"

"Ah!" Natalie immediately raised her head.

The expression on her face was very complicated. It was not easy for her to tell Cecilia about these sorts of things.

Cecilia patted Natalie's hand, "Natalie, it's okay, you can tell me."

Her tone was gentle, it had a very soothing effect on her.

Natalie felt a little awkward, "It's nothing, Mom. It's not a big deal. It's normal for a couple to have some conflicts occasionally."

It was not appropriate for her to tell Cecilia about their s*x life in detail.

Cecilia's softened her tone even more. "Don't take it to heart. I will help you."

Natalie was appalled.

Cecilia wanted to help, but how could she? Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She only understood what Cecilia meant by 'help' when they got home.

Cecilia insisted on staying for the night in the Whitlock family's apartment.

There were many rooms in the apartment, thus there was no problem as to where she could sleep.

However, Cecilia purposely wanted to wait until Natalie and Tobias went to sleep, only then would she be willing to go to her room.

"The newlyweds should go to bed early so that they can have some 'relaxation' time," Cecilia smirked.

Tobias' gaze shifted.

A moment later, he walked straight into the bedroom without saying anything.

Natalie's body was a little stiff. She stood outside the bedroom, at a loss of what to do.

Cecilia whispered in her ear, "Natalie, the best way to end a quarrel is to sleep together in bed, go ahead."

After that, she gave Natalie a push on her waist, pushing her straight into the bedroom.

Cecilia immediately closed the door. Before leaving, she said, "Get to it! I want a grandchild soon."

Natalie was left alone, feeling complicated.

So this was what Cecilia meant by helping...

Couples solved arguments in bed, but she and Tobias weren't even a real couple. They were just faking it.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the bedroom was ice cold.

Natalie's body had been stiffened for quite a while, but she was slowly regaining her senses.

She thought, "Even though we can't solve our argument on the bed, the least I could do is give him an apology. After all, it's my fault for doubting him."

She gathered her courage and walked up to Tobias.

Tobias treated Natalie as if she was air. His face was cold and distant.

"To-Tobias," Natalie stammered. "I didn't mean what I said the other day, it wasn't on purpose."

Tobias gave her no response.

Seeing that Tobias still ignored her, Natalie's heart seemed to be pricked by thousands of needles. She was immensely upset.

Nothing had even happened yet, but her eyes were inexplicably red.

"Tobias, please don't ignore me. I sincerely apologize to you."

Tobias finally looked at her face. He said in a calm and distant tone, "Go to sleep, Natalie. I'll sleep on the floor and you can sleep on the bed. Rest early. You have classes tomorrow."

Natalie's heart dropped to her stomach.

Tobias laid down on the ground. Despite being brought up with an upper-class background, he did not mind sleeping on the floor at all and laid down with no complaints.

Natalie stood still at her spot, facing a difficult situation. Was it suitable for her to sleep on the bed?

"Why don't I sleep on the ground, and you can have the bed?" Natalie said.

Tobias was, after all, the president of an empire, whereas Natalie herself was just a nobody.

She should be the one sleeping on the ground, not him.

Tobias glanced at Natalie. He was lying on the ground, and Natalie was standing, thus Tobias squinted up at her.

Although he was looking up at her, his gaze still brought intense pressure.
