My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 701

She shook her head and cautiously asked, "I haven't got the chance yet, Mom. What's wrong?"

Determination flashed in Cecilia's eyes. "Selina, promise me not to tell Natalie. Don't tell her that Tobias is still alive. Just let Natalie think that..." Cecilia uttered word by word, "That Tobias is already dead."

Selina was shocked to the core.

Her eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at Cecilia in disbelief.

How could Cecelia want her not to tell Natalie?

Tobias and Natalie were so in love. Natalie was clearly hoping for Tobias to wake up day and night, so why should she not tell her?

"Mom, why shouldn't I tell Natalie? Natalie really hopes that Tobias is still alive too, and..." Selina stammered. "I'm sure Tobias would want to see her when he wakes up as well."

Cecilia's tone consisted of only bitterness. "Selina, do you believe in fate?"

Selina's eyes widened, stunned.

"Selina, maybe Tobias and Natalie aren't meant to be together. They're both wonderful people, but maybe they're just not supposed to be together. Why else would so many things happen? Tobias has even ended up like this."

"Perhaps the heavens just don't want them to be together, and bad things will happen if they are. They might even lose their lives."

"That's why you can't tell Natalie, Selina. Never let her find out that Tobias is still alive. Otherwise, we can't predict what will happen in the future." Cecilia's eyes flashed with intense pain and sorrow. She was afraid, too much so. Tobias was her only son, and she could not take it anymore.

Selina's breathing hitched. She knew that her mother had always liked Natalie a lot.

What's more, she knew how much her mother wanted Natalie to be together with Tobias.

She had never expected that one day, Cecilia would stop Natalie and Tobias from being together anymore.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Natalie didn't know how she'd made it through a whole month, but she did.

She'd made it through, with her endless longing and constant insomnia.

For a whole month, Natalie went to the beach

everyday.

The armed policemen guarding there had all withdrawn, and the surface of the sea had regained its usual blue, as if nothing had happened.

It was as if the bomb that had caused a sensation throughout the whole city weeks ago had just been an illusion.

Natalie stared at the beach for a long time every day, just sitting on the sand.

She always felt that there would be a day when someone would pat her on the shoulder.

When she turned her head, she would see Tobias.

He would give her a smile, as gentle as usual.

He would look incomparably handsome in the morning sun, and the smile on his lips would be so bright that it would outshine every other living creature.

He would say to her, "Natalie, I'm back."

But why had that day not come yet?

When would Tobias be able to come back?

Aside from going to the beach, Natalie also often went to the kindergarten to see Hayden.

Hayden was still as stubborn as a mule.

He had yet to say a word to Natalie.

But from that day on, after the day that Yvonne had said those words, Hayden's eyes were no longer filled with hatred. There was only indifference.

Hayden was starting to resemble Tobias more and more.

Hayden's appearance was uncannily similar to Tobias'to begin with, but his personality was still odd and quick-witted, like that of Natalie.

But now, his cold and indifferent look was like a carbon copy of Tobias.

She instantly broke out in a smile. "Hayden, you're really talking to me."

Natalie was not worried about her white hair at all. Instead, she was elated because Hayden finally spoke to her.

Hayden felt like something was choking up his throat, and his sorrow grew.

He remembered that he had taken a liking to Natalie from the first time he had seen her.

He still remembered that Natalie had taken him to the amusement park. When they went on more scary rides, Natalie would carefully protect him.

He remembered when Natalie would hug him to sleep at night, too. Natalie's body was very soft, and her embrace was very comfortable.

He also remembered how Natalie was great at making delicious food for him.

And he remembered how in his heart, Natalie was the youngest and most beautiful woman in the world, but now... Natalie actually had white hair.

Hayden's eyes reddened in an instant.

He stomped his feet and cried out. "Natalie, I hate you!"

After that, he ran away.

Natalie was stunned.

She didn't know what had happened. Hayden had spoken to her, so why had he suddenly shouted out that he hated her and ran off?

Before she could come back to her senses, Hayden came running back.

The coldness and indifference on his face faded away, and an expression befitting of his age returned.

He ran into her arms and said, "Natalie, stop growing white hairs, okay? You're still young, so you shouldn't be growing white hairs."

Natalie's body stiffened for a whole minute.

After a moment, she returned Hayden's embrace and choked out, "Of course, Hayden. I won't grow any more white hairs, never."
