My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Why did she get so worked up? She was the one in pain, not Tobias.

Sometimes, she had to learn how to match her actions to the situation.

Tobias stared at her small and swollen, yet pale hand, and his eyes darkened. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He scooped some ointment with his fingertips and applied it to Natalie's hand.

Natalie felt as if an electric current penetrated through her whole body from her hand.

Tobias' movements were very gentle, but Natalie felt numb all over her body.

She had been staring at Tobias' hand, applying the ointment on hers.

Tobias' hand was beautiful, slender, but powerful. When his finger touched the back of her hand, Natalie felt a strange sensation coursing through her body.

Finally, he was done. Natalie let out a breath and sighed in relief.

Tobias' hand left hers. Natalie felt that the strange sensation in her body had also disappeared. She then shifted her focus to her hand.

Her hand felt much better after applying the ointment. Her wound was burning before. However, that feeling was now replaced with a cooling sensation as all traces of pain were gone. "This ointment is really effective." Natalie couldn't help but exclaim.

Tobias glanced at Natalie and replied faintly, "Be more careful next time."

"By the way, why didn't you give me the ointment earlier? Why did you only give it to me after you were done enjoying your meal slowly?" Natalie suddenly thought of something.

Tobias' tone was bland. "For someone who only thought of washing her scalded hand with cold water, I thought that she should suffer a little longer to teach her a lesson."

Natalie was struck dumb.

Well, it turned out that Tobias had his reasons.

As it was getting late, Natalie went to bed.

Lying in bed, somehow, she was still wide awake. She couldn't fall asleep. In the end, she reached out her hand to inspect it.

The ointment was very effective as the swelling on her hands had vanished.

Suddenly, Natalie thought back to when Tobias was smearing the ointment on her hand. His slender and beautiful fingers swiped her skin gently. This action brought her comfort.

Natalie blushed at this thought as she covered her face with a pillow.

"God, Natalie, what are you doing!" She screamed at herself.

Was spring approaching? Was that moment turning her on? Was she unable to resist herself from such sensual thoughts?

Natalie scolded herself in her heart.

The next day, when Natalie woke up, Tobias had already left for the office.

Aunt Lee asked her mysteriously, "Miss Godfrey, do you know why Mr. Whitlock didn't come back the night before yesterday?"

"I guess he was still in the office," Natalie recalled what Tobias had told her.

Aunt Lee nodded with a smile. "Mr. Whitlock was indeed working at the office, but that's all because of you, Miss Godfrey."

"Because of me?" Natalie was stunned.

Aunt Lee showed an even wider grin. "Isn't that so? I only found out as I overheard him on the phone this morning. It turned out that the reason he worked overtime all night long in the company the night before was to finish all his work to have time to deal with Miss Godfrey's matters during the day."

"Deal with my matters?" Natalie was startled.

Aunt Lee nodded and replied, "I didn't hear much about the details. Mr. Whitlock was on the phone with his assistant. He hung up after exchanging a few words."

Natalie froze momentarily as an indescribable feeling arose in her heart.

It turned out that this man was not out fooling around last night. Instead, he dealt with work all night long because he had to take care of her matters during the day. Natalie sat at the table with a bitter expression.

At this moment, she realized that the breakfast on the table was different from usual.

She usually had milk, toast, and the likes of it for breakfast. However, there was honey, cherries, and seafood on the table.

"Aunt Lee, why did you change the food for breakfast?" Natalie asked subconsciously.

Aunt Lee smiled and replied, "It's not me, Miss Godfrey. This is what Mr. Whitlock had instructed me to prepare. Didn't you scald your hand yesterday? Mr. Whitlock told me that it's good for you to eat these, so he asked someone to send the food here in the morning." She pointed to the table and

said, "They were sent here by plane this morning. This honey was imported from New Zealand, and I think the cherries were imported from the United States."

Natalie lowered her gaze, and her long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyes.

"Miss Godfrey, why don't you start eating?" Aunt Lee looked at Natalie who was sitting there with her head down.

"Oh, I'll eat," Natalie whispered.

She took a big cherry and put it in her mouth. It was as sweet as honey.

In fact, she had never eaten a cherry before.

That's right. Natalie had never eaten this common fruit before.

Cherries usually cost 30 or 40 dollars for one kilogram. They were regarded as high-end food by the Godfrey family. Hence, they would not buy them frequently. Even if they got the cherries, Natalie never had the opportunity to taste them.

At that time, when Natalie saw Queenie eating the cherries, she wondered about its taste. Seeing that it was highly-priced, was it that delicious?

However, she finally got a taste of it, and it was mouth- watering. With just a bite, the juice burst inside her mouth.

Natalie's eyes reddened unknowingly.

She didn't understand why Tobias had been treating her so well.

Even if they were just a couple by agreement, there was no need for him to be so kind to her.

Knowing that her hand was a little scalded, not only did he apply ointment for her, he also bought her so many delicacies.

When she was still living with the Godfrey family, no one would care about her even if she scalded her hand. She could only rinse her hands with cold water to soothe the pain.

"Miss Godfrey, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red?" Aunt Lee looked at Natalie strangely.

Natalie raised her head, and a smile appeared on her lips. "It's nothing. It's just that the cherry is so sweet. It's heavenly."

Aunt Lee thought, "Natalie is such a foodie. She is moved to tears even though she is just eating cherries."

After breakfast, Natalie couldn't help but call Tobias. "What?" Tobias asked in a cold tone.

Natalie swore that Tobias had multiple personalities. Otherwise, why would he be so good towards her?

"Tobias, the cherries were sweet and delightful," Natalie whispered.

"I see." Tobias' reply was faint.

"Well, actually, I've never eaten a cherry before. This is my first time eating it." Natalie's voice was barely audible.

On the other end of the phone, Tobias' chest suddenly froze, and an indescribable feeling was engulfing him.

"Since you like them so much, I'll buy them for you so that you can eat them every day in the future." Tobias subconsciously softened his voice.

"Why are you treating me so well?" Natalie asked.

As soon as she finished her words, the sound coming from the other end ceased with a beep.

Natalie glanced at her phone. It turned out that her phone had run out of battery.

She had no choice but to charge her phone at the moment, but when the phone was charged fully, she suddenly lost her courage to call Tobias again.

Natalie decided to go to school first.

There was a huge commotion at school because something major had happened. It had something to do with Queenie.
