My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 721

Natalie wished she could dig a hole, crawl into it, and remain there forever.

She knew that Selina had always been straightforward, but she didn't expect her to be so open in front of so many people either.

Tobias, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent.

Peter's face turned even darker at Selina's comment.

Cecilia shot a warning glance at Selina and chided, "You have no boundaries when you speak, Selina."

Selina stuck out her tongue playfully.

"I just think it's odd that we can't speak about these things in public. Why is it that it's appropriate to speak about a couple having a child, but it's not appropriate to speak about the process of having a child?"

An awkward silence filled the room.

Peter glared at her. "Eat your food. You're one to talk, unmarried at your age."

Selina pouted but did not say further.

Only Peter could deal with her mischievous nature. His words managed to render her speechless.

After breakfast, Peter went to the garden to take a walk, as per his routine.

"I'll go with you, Grandpa." Tobias stood up after him.

Peter glanced at Tobias. "I see you still have a conscience."

Tobias glanced at Natalie and said gently, "Natalie, you have a chat with my mother and Selina. I'll be back soon."

Natalie nodded.

Then, Tobias followed Peter to the garden.

The Whitlock family's garden was huge and always well taken care of. Tobias was greeted with the smell of fresh flowers as soon as he stepped in.

"I know you would never volunteer to come with me for no reason. Just tell me what you want," Peter said as he stretched his muscles.

Tobias looked at him thoughtfully. "Grandpa, if you want me and Natalie to stay here for half a month, please don't pull anything funny or toy with my trust in you."

Peter paused and turned to stare at Tobias with a puzzled look on his face.

"What are you taking about? What tricks? What did I do to you?" Peter asked, baffled.

At Peter's response, Tobias quickly got a grasp of the situation.

Whatever happened the night before probably had nothing to do with Peter.

In fact, the moment Natalie appeared at the room, he immediately knew that someone had set them up. Otherwise, Natalie wouldn't have gone there out of the blue.

He had originally thought that Peter had worked with Yuna to trick him, but now, it seemed that Peter was innocent.

Tobias furrowed his eyebrows.

He suddenly felt repulsed by Yuna's actions.

Before this, he held no grudges against Yuna at all.

To him, Yuna was just a stranger.

After knowing that she had helped to save him, he was a little grateful to her.

At this moment, however, his gratefulness to her dissipated.

He hated manipulative people.

"It's nothing, Grandpa," he answered calmly.

Peter glared at him. "I have nothing to say to you both. I still prefer to talk to Yuna. I'll invite her to have dinner with me tonight."

Tobias pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

That evening, Peter invited Yuna to their villa once again.

She wore a black lace dress.

Usually, lace dresses would give off a scandalous impression on the wearer.

However, the obscure, lace dress looked amazing on her, and it made her appear sophisticated and mysterious.

Had Tobias and Yuna known each other before this?

Yuna continued to mumble, "The first time I saw you on that magazine, I thought to myself, how could there be such a handsome man?"

A smile formed on her lips, making her look extremely alluring. "Then, when I actually met you, I found that you looked so much better in person. You met all the criteria for my ideal man."

The atmosphere immediately turned awkward.

No one expected Yuna to say such things.

Peter, on the other hand, was extremely touched.

His eyes, trained on Yuna, were filled with dismay.

Peter didn't even know that Yuna had had such a huge crush on Tobias. She was such a wonderful and loyal young lady, so why didn't Tobias like her? Why was he so bewitched by Natalie?

Tobias's lips parted as if he was about to say something.

He wasn't moved or bothered by Yuna's words. He felt nothing towards her, and nothing she said would move him.

He was just worried that Natalie would feel uncomfortable.

Tobias was just about to say something when Natalie shot him a look.

She was hinting at him that she was fine and reassuring him that he didn't need to say anything. Natalie had already seen through Yuna's pretense. Yuna was saying these things on purpose, to make her feel uncomfortable. Why should she fall for Yuna's trap?

Since Yuna was in the mood to talk, she would just let her be.

Yuna could say whatever she wanted, and Natalie would only treat it as a stand-up.

Yuna was still mumbling to herself. "Tobias, I am really happy to see you. Meeting you in person is also one of my dreams."

Then, she quickly changed the subject to Tobias' accident.

"I couldn't believe it when I heard that something had happened to you. I came to Grandpa Peter and told him that you were still alive, and luckily he believed me. When that container was lifted up from the seabed and we couldn't find a way to open it up, I was so panicked. It's a good thing that I learned about these things in university and we could open up the container. It's great to see that you're fine now."

Yuna had brought the conversation back to her indirectly saving Tobias again.
