My Heart only Beats for You

Tobias felt rather happy at this.

"Okay," he replied in a low voice.

After arriving at the apartment, James said that he was tired and went to bed.

Natalie and Tobias were alone in the small living room.

There was a hint of awkwardness between them.

At first, they couldn't really sense the awkwardness, probably because they were in a rush to search for James. But now that James had been found, Natalie was not in such a hurry. All of a sudden, she felt rather awkward.

Natalie hurried into the kitchen and said, "I'll get you something to eat." She opened the refrigerator and found that there was no food at all.

Natalie subconsciously pulled on her hair. "We only have sbread left. Do you mind just having sbread and butter?" Tobias stepped forward and naturally took the bread and butter from her. "Letdo it. I'm pretty good at preparing this." Natalie's breathing hitched.

After a while, Tobias cout with two sets of bread. Search The (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

As they ate, Natalie kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Tobias.

Her heart felt like it was stretched tight, and she felt oddly nervous.

Halfway through the meal, Natalie noticed there were two poached eggs in her bowl.

There were only two eggs left in the refrigerator, and Tobias had given both of them to her.

She felt as though her heartstrings were being tugged on.

She took a bite of the poached egg.

It was delicious. Tobias had cooked it so that the yolk was still runny.

After eating, Natalie's stomach and heart both felt warm.

Tobias stood up.

"Natalie, I'm heading off first," he said.

He hadn't forgotten about distancing himself from her.

"Oh." There was a hint of disappointment in Natalie's eyes.

Disappointment that she did not notice at all.

When Tobias walked to the door, Natalie suddenly called his name.

He stopped, turned back and looked at her.

His eyes were shining brightly.

"I'm not with Remington." Natalie inexplicably felt the need to tell Tobias this.

She was not even sure why she said that.

Tobias was stunned for a moment.

Shortly after, his eyebrows relaxed, and he sounded pleased as he acknowledged her words.

Although it was only a single syllable, it was full of utter joy, "Wait a minute." Natalie hurried into her bedroom.

She opened the wardrobe and there was a paper bag in it.

There was a necktie in the bag.

Natalie had bought it for Tobias's birthday.

Unfortunately, she hadn't gotten the chance to give it to him.

So many things had happened, yet Natalie had not thrown away the necktie.

She felt a little nervous when she picked up the paper bag.

She took a deep breath and brought the bag out with her. As she walked up to Tobias, she didn't dare to raise her head. She just stuffed the bag into Tobias's hands. "This... this is for you." There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After a while, he opened the paper bag and saw the necktie.

"Natalie." Tobias' gaze suddenly deepened.

Natalie's words shot out to conceal her nervousness. "I prepared this for you for your birthday, but something cup and I didn't manage to give it to you. But better late than never, right?" Tobias felt a wave of emotions.

He suddenly had an impulse.

An impulse to hug Natalie.

Tobias reached out his hand, but it froze in midair.

That image inexplicably flashed across his mind again.

The image of Natalie stabbing herself with the dagger.

Tobias suppressed the impulse.

"Natalie." He stared at Natalie with his deep eyes, which were like a bottomless pool. "This is the best birthday gift I have received." After Tobias left, Natalie sat on the sofa.

She noticed that after she gave Tobias the tie, he seemed to have wanted to hug her.

However, he did not end up doing so.

There was bitterness in her eyes.

She subconsciously wondered if it was because Tobias had a new lover.

If that was the case, there had to be a certain distance between the two of them.

She twisted her fingers helplessly.

This was a good thing. They should have kept their distance right from the beginning anyway.

But what was the reason for the jealousy she felt now? Natalie stood up and forced herself to do schores to calm her emotions.

After that day, Tobias' focus was constantly elsewhere, and he was often absent-minded.

He was thinking about excuses to go see Natalie.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not think of anything.

There was no excuse for him to go to see Natalie.

If his excuse was too far-fetched, he was afraid that Natalie would misunderstand him.

And it was the swith her.

After that day, Natalie began to think of Tobias increasingly frequently, so much so that it was uncontrollable.

How Tobias had accompanied her and driven in the middle of the night to look for James.

How Tobias had draped his own clothes over her.

How he'd flipped his hand around to hold hers.

Lastly, how he had wanted to hug her, but did not.

The more she thought, the more miserable she felt.

There was no point in thinking too much.

There was no chance between her and Tobias. Besides, Tobias hadna was the use of new thinking so much? But soon, Natalie was not in the mood to think about him anymore.

Because she found that James seemed to be acting more and more unusual.

Once, in the middle of the night, when she got off work and went home, she found James in the corridor.

She questioned him, who stammered and said that he could not sleep well.

Later on, Sebastian's aunt had inadvertently revealed, aled to Natalie that she'd seen dames leaving the En: apartment in the middle of the night.

That day, she decided to speak to James.

"Dad, are you hiding something from me?" Natalie stared into James' eyes.

Panic flashed across James' face. "No." "Then why do you keep going out in the middle of the night?" James' hands trembled.

After a while, he lowered his head and said, "Natalie, I miss Queenie." Natalie's breath hitched.

Could it be that James was losing sleep over Queenie, which was why he was wandering around? She could understand that James missed her, but...

"Dad." Natalie could not help but hold James' hand. "Don't think too much. I'll be here from now on, and I'll take good care of you. Please don't overthink things, okay?" James' breathing becmore rapid.

He suddenly looked up at Natalie. "Natalie, tellthe truth. Do you hate Queenie?" Natalie's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She lowered her voice and said, "Dad, let's not talk about the past." A strange look flashed in James' eyes.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "I won't, I won't. Let's not talk about it anymore." Late that night, Natalie was asleep.

Once again, James sneaked out.
