My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 105

Natalie's breathing paused for a second.

It turned out that this man was looking out for her.

As his shirt was wet with her tears, he was worried that she would feel uncomfortable in his embrace.

However, Natalie had stopped crying, so she was embarrassed to be hugged by him again.

Men and women were different species. It was the middle of the night and they were not only sharing the same bed, but she was also in Tobias' arms. The atmosphere was ambiguous.

"I, I'd better not," Natalie said awkwardly.

Tobias's tone was faint. "If you feel sad, just let me hold you. Tonight is a special case. I'll embrace you just this once, but there won't be the next time."

Natalie's eyelashes trembled in the darkness. After a while, she did not hesitate to ease herself into Tobias' arms again.

Tonight was a special night. She should just cherish every moment in this man's warm embrace. When she felt helpless and sad, someone was willing to hold her close. There was no reason for her to reject him.

Tobias, who had taken off his shirt, was radiating heat. Natalie felt a strange sensation coursing through her with his skin touching her skin in such an intimate way.

"Can you lower your face a little?" A moment later, Tobias suddenly said.

He seemed to be struggling to suppress something deep within him.

Natalie was stunned briefly and did not respond for a moment.

"Your mouth!" Tobias sounded like he couldn't breathe normally.

Only then did Natalie realize that her mouth was pressed on Tobias's chest.

She was flustered. She immediately turned her face away and leaned her head against Tobias' chest.

"I'm sorry." Natalie apologized.

She had inadvertently taken advantage of Tobias.

Tobias said nothing as if he was trying to calm himself down.

There was a moment of silence that lasted for a while, and both of them could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.

In the thick of the silence, Natalie's mood was finally brightening up bit by bit.

She comforted herself, "Don't be sad anymore. It's all over. There's nothing to be sad about."

Natalie was not a melodramatic woman. She was invincible!

"How did you get those scars on your hips?" In the quiet darkness, Tobias suddenly asked her.

He didn't intend to ask Natalie about this because he felt like this was Natalie's painful secret.

No one would gladly show their bloody wounds to others. Tobias wanted to respect Natalie, so he had initially decided not to say anything about this.

However, at that moment, he suddenly changed his mind.

Since he wanted to help Natalie pull out the thorn in her heart, he should not be afraid that Natalie would experience some pain.

Sometimes, you need to fight poison with poison.

Even if he pretended not to know about those scars, this would not help Natalie.

On the other hand, Natalie's breathing paused in an instant.

She had thought that Tobias did not see those scars, but she did not expect that this man had seen everything.

"Did you notice them?" Natalie's voice was very soft, and it was infused with an unspeakable embarrassment.

At the thought of exposing such an ugly part of her body to Tobias, Natalie had an indescribable feeling.

In the end, the investigation continued for a long time, but they couldn't conclude it. The whole matter gradually became insignificant.

Due to Natalie's incident, Madison was interrogated by the police for a few days. After Natalie returned home, she was beaten up by Madison once again for putting her through those troubles.

Natalie was telling Tobias about her past in a casual way. She didn't talk about it in detail. She just briefly described what had transpired.

The more Tobias listened, the more frightened he felt. Most children were spoiled during their childhood. He couldn't imagine what Natalie had experienced during her childhood.

After so many years, these scars were still so significant. It showed that Natalie was severely injured back then!

Tobias didn't know how little Natalie shouldered this kind of pain!

Another question occurred to Tobias suddenly.

Who on earth inflicted these scars on Natalie's hips?

If the culprit was Natalie's family, the police should have been able to catch them. The strange thing was that Natalie didn't know anything about it.

Tobias's intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed. There must be a catch somewhere along the lines.

"Are those scars ugly?" Natalie suddenly asked in a low voice.

Tobias put his doubts aside for now as he replied, "Well, they are hideous."

Her originally pale and tender snow-white butt was forever covered with centipede-like scars. The sight was not very pleasing to the eyes.

Natalie fluttered her eyelashes and said, "Your response was not what I expected."

"What were you expecting?" Tobias asked subconsciously.

"In the novels about presidents that I have read, if the heroine has any flaws, even if her face is disfigured, the hero will act very affectionately and tell her that she is always beautiful no matter what." For some reason, Natalie always unknowingly associated Tobias with those stories about domineering presidents.
