My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

For the past few days, Tobias instructed Aunt Lee to prepare various types of meals for Natalie.

They included oysters, truffles, abalone, Wagyu steak and so much more.

To be honest, Natalie was envious of people who could enjoy oysters or truffles every day. However, she was nauseated by it when she was the one eating it every single day.

She ate a lot during the day and she almost died from overeating. At night, there were many delicacies waiting for her too.

What? Could she avoid eating some of them?

Such thoughts crossed Natalie's mind too but there was no way she could avoid eating them. Tobias made sure to keep an eye on her and she sometimes shivered from his stares.

Tobias had a domineering aura and how could she not eat when he was boring into her with his gaze?

Previously, they had agreed that Tobias would not come at night after Cecilia left.

Tobias' reply to this was, "I'll live here every day for now. I'll leave after making sure that you're not pregnant."

Natalie stared at the ceiling speechlessly.

Why did she even point out that she could be pregnant? She was really digging a grave for herself. Natalie thought that she would not have to eat like a pig if the semester began. At least, she could stay in school during the day, therefore Natalie was particularly excited for the school to start.

After getting up, she changed and got ready. She was brushing her teeth in the bathroom when her mobile phone received a text message.

The message wrote, "Natalie, remember to wear our matching outfit. We will amaze the whole campus."

Natalie blinked. After pondering about it, she decided to go back to her bedroom and change into the lace pink dress she bought at Ralph Lauren.

Although she did not share Yvonne's ambition, she did not want to disappoint Yvonne.

On the other hand, Tobias was sitting at the dining table eating his breakfast after changing his clothes.

The sun poured in from the window and added some warmth to Tobias' features.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat when she spotted Tobias. This man was extremely handsome.

A strange expression appeared on Tobias' face when he noticed Natalie.

Natalie realized that Tobias was staring at her clothes.

She gave a dry laugh and probed, "Do I look good?"

Tobias recalled that Natalie bought this dress when she went shopping previously. He replied, "Your taste is really unique."

"My best friend chose this for me. We bought one for each of us. She wants both of us to dress up beautifully on the first day of school," Natalie explained.

"Do you think the dress is beautiful?"

"I think it's alright," Natalie replied.

"As long as you like it," Tobias answered flatly.

"My best friend likes it very much. She said that she wants to wear this to amaze the whole campus." Natalie tugged the corner of her skirt.

Tobias was munching on a toast when he heard her remarks. Immediately, the toast seemed to get stuck in his throat.

He was only able to swallow the toast after some time.

He squinted carefully at Natalie's dress. There was something inexplicably funny about the way the lace layered over each other on that dress.

Tobias felt that Natalie looked very much like a cabbage. A pink cabbage.

There was a faint smile on his lips and he commented, "I think your best friend's wish may come true but it might not be what she is expecting."

"What do you mean?" Natalie did not understand.

"I think you should change into something else with your best friend. You look too much like a socialite." Tobias wanted to label her as a countryside socialite but he decided to omit the

'countryside' after giving it some thoughts.

Natalie shook her head and answered, "Forget it. My best friend likes it a lot."

"Then you could continue wearing it," Tobias concluded.

Natalie nodded and sat down to have breakfast. The breakfast included milk, toast, eggs, fruits, nuts, and more.

She took a sip of milk. It was sweet and mellow and the aftertaste lingered in her mouth.

Inexplicable happiness grew in Natalie's heart.

"My life is too good now," Natalie could not help but sigh.

Tobias shot her a glance from the corner of his eyes and asked, "Are you saying that you're having a good life staying with me?"

Natalie was at a loss.

"Of course not. I mean that it's so nice to always enjoy delicious food." Natalie pointed to the food on the table.

Tobias raised his eyebrow. "Isn't this normal?"

"Of course not," Natalie replied seriously, "It might be normal to a rich guy like you but it's not the same for me. To tell you the truth, I barely tasted milk before this."

Tobias did not know what to say.

He knew that Natalie's family was not wealthy but no matter how poor her family was, there was no way that her family could not afford milk.

"There are three children in my family but only my elder sister and elder brother could drink milk. I am not qualified for that. All I ever had were leftovers and some pickles every single day." A hint of sadness crept onto Natalie's face when she reminisced about her past.

Even if she no longer cared about her past, her heart still ached when she thought about it. Madison was her mother but why did Madison not treat her like a daughter?

Tobias patted Natalie's head gently.

Natalie lowered her head and remained silent. There was still some sorrow shrouding her face.

"But you are fortunate." Tobias broke the silence.

"Why?" Natalie was puzzled.

Tobias studied Natalie carefully and finally, his gaze fell below her collarbones. "Fortunately, you're still very well- developed despite being deprived of nutrition when you grew up."

Natalie was speechless.

She glanced at Tobias and retorted, "You're so mean."

Tobias flashed an imperceptible smile when he noticed that she had returned to her usual self again.

"I'm going to school." Natalie changed into her shoes and was ready to leave.

"I'll drop you there." Tobias followed her closely.

"You are going to drop me off?" Natalie raised her eyebrow. "Isn't a president always busy dealing with work? And you're telling me that you still have time to send a peasant like me to school?"

Tobias glanced at Natalie with his glimmering black eyes and replied, "I don't have a lot of time but you may be pregnant now. Naturally, I have to do everything thoughtfully."

"I can take the bus," Natalie suggested.

"No, I'll be worried," Tobias refused immediately.

Natalie gritted her teeth and retorted, "Then I'll take a taxi."

It was an extravagant thing to hail a taxi to school. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"No, I'll send you." Tobias walked towards the elevator and urged, "Come on."

Natalie had no choice but to follow him.

Tobias' car sped out of Themyscira Apartment and merged into the traffic on the road.

"Tobias, being your wife must be the happiest thing ever," Natalie suddenly uttered.

Tobias' hands on the steering wheel paused.

"Why so?" He asked placidly.

"Think about it, you're being so nice to me when I might be pregnant. If I was pregnant, wouldn't you treat me even better? I'd be on cloud nine!"

"Then you should be happy now because you're my wife." Tobias' meaningful gaze fell on Natalie's face.

Natalie stuck out her tongue and answered, "Don't make fun of me. I know my place. I'm just a poor girl and I'm only with you now because I'm bound by our agreement."

Tobias raised his eyebrows and replied, "What do you mean by bound? Are you telling me that our ties are like a mobile phone number connected to an ID card?"

Natalie was at a loss for words.

She lowered her gaze and her thick eyelashes cast fan-like shadows over her eyes. "I mean your actual future wife will definitely be a rich young lady. She is the kind of woman who will be cherished by many and she will be able to stand on equal grounds with you. That's not me."
