My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 717

Natalie subconsciously shot a look at Tobias.

She really hoped that Tobias would soften a little and show Peter some respect, at least not to provoke his grandfather even further.

Tobias's eyes went dark.

His sharp gaze landed on Yuna's face. "Thank you very much, Yuna."

His voice was flat and monotonous, devoid of any emotions.

Yuna replied gently, "It's what I should have done."

"A thank you is not enough. You should propose a toast to her," Peter interrupted.

Tobias immediately lifted his wine glass.

Before Yuna could even react, he already downed the entire glass of wine at once.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yuna's eyes.

Meanwhile, Selina stifled a giggle as she watched their interaction.

When Yuna was about to raise her own glass of wine, she looked like she had prepared a speech for that. However, the way Tobias had gulped the wine first rendered Yuna utterly speechless.

Peter was frustrated with Tobias' actions, but he didn't know how to tell him off.

He could only keep his anger to himself and sulk throughout the whole dinner.

After dinner, Peter stood up abruptly.

"Come with me, Tobias. We need to talk."

Tobias looked at Natalie and said, "Natalie, you stay with Selina. I'll be back soon."

Natalie nodded.

After a pause, Tobias said, "Don't stay up waiting for me if I take too long."

Natalie smiled. "Okay, okay. Stop worrying about me."

She knew that Peter would definitely be giving Tobias a hard time, and she had already guessed that their conversation would not end so soon.

Cecilia, Selina, and Natalie sat next to each other on a sofa.

"Mother, has Yuna left already?" Selina asked.

Cecilia nodded. "She just left."

Selina let out a little snort. "At least she knows what's good for her. She is aware that no one else, save for Grandpa, likes her."

Cecilia frowned and stared at Selina. "Don't say

that, Selina. After all, she has helped us a lot with Tobias."

"I know that, but I just don't like her," Selina replied indifferently.

Selina couldn't explain why she had felt repulsed by Yuna the very first time she saw her. She thought that Yuna looked just like a scheming b*tch.

Yuna liked to act pure and innocent, but who knew what was hiding behind the fagade.

Cecilia sighed, then looked at Natalie. "Natalie, please don't overthink this."

Natalie smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Auntie. I won't."

"Natalie, why are you still calling my mom Auntie?" Selina interrupted.

Natalie paused.

Her face suddenly turned red.

Cecilia glared at Selina. "There's no need to change the way she addresses me yet. After all, we're still waiting for an official wedding ceremony yet. It's not too late to change it after the wedding."

Selina stuck out her tongue playfully.

"What's wrong with Yuna? No matter her looks, family background, or education, she's streets ahead from that Natalie."

"To you, she's nothing compared to Yuna, but to me, Yuna is no match for Natalie," Tobias said indifferently.

Peter was speechless.

He glared at Tobias, seething. "Tobias, that woman is nothing but a scourge. If it weren't for her, you would never..."

"Grandpa!" Tobias cut him off. "Natalie will be my wife. Whether you acknowledge her or not, she will still be my wife. I hope you will at least have some respect for my wife."

Peter gaped in shock.

He'd always had a bad temper, but it had never had any effect on Tobias.

"Tobias, why do you like that woman so much?" Peter let out a long sigh.

Tobias pursed his lips and said nothing.

Peter got up from his seat and paced in the study.

After a long while, he stopped.

He looked at Tobias. "If you want me to accept Natalie, you'll have to stay here with her for half a month. If she can make me change my mind, then I'll give you my blessing."

Tobias's eyes glinted. "Are you serious, Grandpa?"

Peter glared at him. "Have I ever lied to you?"

Tobias lowered his gaze, his expression unfathomable as if pondering something.

After a while, he nodded. "Alright, I agree."

"I have one more condition," Peter continued. "Yuna did contribute to saving you, and I hope that you can have a good talk with her later. Thank her properly. The Whitlock family doesn't like to owe people, and I don't think you do either."

Tobias's voice was calm, "Okay."
