My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"Don't tell anyone about this," Natalie reminded Remington worriedly.

"Don't worry. I'm the most trustworthy person you'll ever meet," Remington added, "Do you want me to send you home?"

Natalie thought Tobias must have something urgent to discuss with her. She thought that it would take too much time to walk or take a bus back, hence she nodded.

After getting out of the buffet restaurant, Remington immediately led Natalie to his car.

Remington's car was a red Ferrari, which was very flamboyant.

Natalie thought that this man was also quite wealthy. She recalled that he was Tobias' friend and it would be weird if he was not rich too.

Was there not a saying that went like this? Birds of a feather flock together.

Tobias was a wealthy guy, thus his friends must be similar too.

Remington chatted with Natalie with his hands on the wheel. "Aren't you pretending to be Tobias' wife? Why are you living together?"

Natalie waved her hand swift and explained, "You've misunderstood us. We are staying together for his mother. We are not sleeping in the same room."

Natalie emphasized the last sentence particularly. Remington raised his eyebrow. "So he hasn't touched you yet? You're still a virgin?"

Natalie did not know how to answer this question.

She did not want to answer such a private question when she was not that close with Remington.

She was silent but fortunately, Remington did not pester.

After arriving at Themyscira Apartment, Remington asked Natalie to lend him her mobile phone. "Can I borrow your mobile phone to make a call?"

Natalie lent her mobile phone to Remington and shortly after, his own mobile phone rang.

Natalie suddenly came to her senses. "You could've just asked me if you want my phone number. Why are you playing tricks like this?"

Remington replied smilingly, "Tricks have been proven to win other's favor. Don't women like this kind of thing? Aren't you a woman?"

Natalie snatched back her mobile phone and snapped, "There are different types of women."

Remington waved his mobile phone at her. "I have saved your number. You have to answer if I call you."

Natalie snorted, "Why do I have to answer your call?"

She was very dissatisfied with Remington's trick earlier!

"That's because I'm handsome," Remington replied with a grin.

Natalie glanced at him from up and down before answering, "Tobias is handsome too. He seems to be much more handsome than you."

"We have different styles. He is an abstinent man and I am an open-minded man."

Natalie was speechless. This was the first time she heard someone describing himself like that.

"All the more reason I shouldn't answer your call if you're open-minded," Natalie retaliated.

Remington shook his head and replied, "You can't say that. I'm only open-minded to my woman. I will only treat other women as friends. It will be a pleasant experience being my friend."

After thinking about it, Natalie recalled that she did spend an enjoyable time chatting with Remington previously. Her life would be interesting if she had a humorous man for a friend.

"We'll talk later. I have to go now," Natalie replied as she got out of the car.

"Don't let Tobias know that you met me," Remington suddenly uttered.

"Why?" Natalie was puzzled.

"That's because he's jealous that I'm more handsome than him." Remington smirked and added, "He's afraid that I'll steal his woman."

There was a loud roaring sound from the engine and the Ferrari sped off.

Natalie pouted. What the hell was going on?

She was just pretending to be Tobias' wife, so that did not make her Tobias' woman.

Besides, Remington was too narcissistic. Tobias was a charming man and the two of them were equal in terms of looks.

Natalie went upstairs and she noticed that Tobias was sitting on the sofa with a solemn look.

"What happened?" Natalie took off her shoes and put on a comfortable pair of slippers.

"You went to the buffet restaurant to have some soft drinks, fries, and salmon?" Tobias's voice was crisp and low.

"Yeah." There was a hint of joy on Natalie's face. She continued, "It's really delicious, especially the salmon. I've only heard people talking about it. This is the first time that I've eaten it today and it's so delicious."

"Who allowed you to eat those stuff!" Tobias interrupted Natalie.

Natalie was taken aback.

"Forget about the soft drinks and fries but you even ate salmon of all things!" Tobias' tone was as cold as ice.

"Why can't I eat it? Why can everybody eat it but me?" Natalie was getting furious too.

She rushed home hastily, thinking that this man was looking for her for some urgent matters. Unexpectedly, he just wanted to ask her about the reason she ate salmon.

Tobias wanted to be in charge of everything and he even wanted to stop her from eating salmon?

Natalie wracked her brains but she did not understand why Tobias was concerned about her eating salmon. Was he complaining because salmon was too expensive? This idea occurred to Natalie.

For a poor woman like her, salmon was indeed a luxurious food.

Natalie thought that this must be the reason, otherwise, what other reasons could it be?

"I didn't use your money. Why are you so angry? Someone gave me a buffet voucher for free!" Natalie exclaimed lividly.

Tobias was rendered speechless by the woman's foolishness.

What was inside her messy little brain?

Was she really a college student who was already twenty years old?

Why did Tobias feel that this woman was as childish as a primary school student on some occasion?

The disdain in Tobias' eyes fortified Natalie's assumption. "You're thinking that I'm not qualified to eat salmon, right?"

"You're indeed not qualified," Tobias replied flatly.

Natalie felt angry and sad. She retorted, "Yes, you're right, I'm not qualified to eat salmon because I'm poor. It's true that I don't even know what salmon tastes like. Today, it so happened that I was able to taste it. I thought I could finally eat a lot of it but you looked down on me because of it. Do I deserve this treatment because I'm poor? Tobias, you're horrible!"

"The most delicious salmon can be found in Norway. I'll take you there after you've given birth to our baby." Natalie suddenly heard Tobias' clear voice when she was furious.

Natalie was stunned momentarily. She stared at Tobias' jet black eyes blankly while her heart skipped a beat as she held her breath.

Tobias' eyes were like pools of water. "You'd better not eat garbage like fries and soft drinks if you're pregnant. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that if you really want to satisfy your cravings. However, you can't eat raw fish like salmon. You won't know how much bacteria it contains when it's raw and uncooked."

Natalie's eyes glimmered. She thought that Tobias had despised her for being poor and that he did not think that she was qualified to eat salmon. However, she did not expect the truth to turn out like this.

Natalie felt so stupid.

Suddenly, she felt a little sorry for Tobias. He was doing this for her own good. How could she think of Tobias like that?

"I'm not pregnant yet," Natalie replied sullenly, "Everything's just speculation at this point. Nothing is confirmed yet."

"We still need to be cautious even if there is a fraction of a chance," Tobias answered.

"What if I'm really pregnant?"

"I've told you yesterday that I'll bear the responsibility." Tobias did not hesitate. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"But you don't have any feelings for me, right? Or do you like me now?" Natalie suddenly had a strange idea.
