My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 502

Natalie's mind was like a ball of tangled yarn.

She looked at the boy and asked somewhat speechlessly, "Where's your father? Who's your father?"

Natalie reckoned the little boy had snuck out of his house, and she wondered if she should contact the boy's father and send him home.

The little boy had a proud look on his face as he declared. "My father is amazing. He's the most handsome man in the world, I can guarantee that."

Natalie wanted to laugh, but when she thought about it, the little boy might not be bragging.

After all, the child had such good looks, it was possible that his father was just as attractive.

"What about your mother?" Natalie asked casually.

The little boy's face darkened.

Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

Something the boy had previously said popped up in her mind.

She thought, "Could it be that his father cheated on his wife, and the boy had mistaken her for the one he had cheated with? Was that why he came to get even?" But that could not be right.

If that was the case, then the little boy must hate this woman very much. How could the little boy be happy after just a few words? He even said that he allowed her to be with his father.

The boy started speaking, "My mother doesn't want my father anymore."

Realization dawned on Natalie.

Gentle sympathy flowed through her eyes.

The little boy grinded his teeth again, "My mother is a lesbian, so she doesn't want my father!"

Why does she keep encountering homosexuals? First gay, then a lesbian.

"My grandmother said that my mother is dead, but I know that she's lying! She left my father because she's a lesbian. My father is the most outstanding and handsome man in the whole world, how could she not want my father?"

Natalie did not know how to comfort the little boy, and could only look at him with pity.

At that moment, the uniform sound of footsteps rang out in the tiny restaurant.

A row of tall, black-clad bodyguards appeared in front of Natalie.

She almost got the shock of her life. It might be more believable if someone told her they were shooting a movie.

However, the bodyguards' gaze was on the little boy, "Hayden, it's time to go kindergarten."

Natalie looked at the little boy in surprise.

It turned out that they were looking for him.

No wonder there was an air of nobleness around him. He was not from an ordinary family after all.

The boy looked annoyed. "I don't want to. The IQ of those kids is not on par with mine."

The bodyguard seemed a little helpless. "Hayden, Master will be mad if you don't go."

The boy appeared to be slightly afraid of his father.

Hearing the bodyguard's coaxing, Hayden stood up.

"Goodbye then." He waved at Natalie.

A second later, he leaned into Natalie's ear and whispered, "After assessing you this morning, I think that you're good and are qualified to be my stepmom. I'll let my daddy know later and ask him to let you move in. You can sleep with me tonight!"

Although he was young, he sounded very mature.

Natalie could not find the words.

She was about to ask if he had mistaken her for someone else, but Hayden had already left with the bodyguards.

Natalie snickered, bemused at the sudden turn of events.

She thought that the morning encounter was just a minor episode.

Sipping on the coke, she spurted it out of her mouth a second after.

Oh my! She suddenly remembered that she was going to be late.

With her bag in her hand, Natalie rushed out of the lace as fast as he could.

'k'k'k'k'k

"Mr. Whitlock, Hayden has been found." The polite voice of the bodyguard reached Tobias's ears through the phone. Tobias breathed a sigh of relief.

Hayden was too mischievous. He was completely different compared to himself when he was a child.

Ever since Tobias was young, he had a strong and sensible character.

Hayden must have taken after his mother.

On the other end, Hayden grabbed the phone and butted, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"Dad, I went to look for your mistress."

Tobias's expression darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Could it be that Hayden had found Natalie?

He had not had the chance to tell Hayden that Natalie was his biological mother yet.

Hayden chattered on, "Dad, I think you've done a good job in finding this mistress. She and I got along well. I allow her to be my stepmother. Can you let her stay over tonight? Her hands are so soft. I want to hold her hands while I sleep tonight!"

"You saw Natalie?" He asked a moment later, his tone indiscernible.

Lately, Tobias had not been spending time with Hayden after work as he usually did. Instead, he was with Natalie. He did not expect Hayden, who was way too intelligent for his age, to discover the clues and find Natalie that quickly.

Hayden giggled at the other end, "Dad, I recognize her. I've seen her before. You must have been having an affair with her for a long time, am I right?"

"Don't concern yourself with adult matters," Tobias said irritatedly.

Hayden was just too precocious!

"I don't care. Just bring her home tonight, or I'll go sleep at her place tonight!" Hayden exclaimed shamelessly.

Tobias's eyebrow twitched, "Pay attention in class."

"Then do you agree to what I've just said? If you don't, tonight I'll draw a big black cat on your face when you sleep!" Hayden threatened. "Don't you dare!" Tobias gritted his teeth.

Noting that Tobias was really upset, Hayden softened his tone, "Dad, the point is, I like her. Can you please bring her home?"

Tobias felt a ripple of emotions beginning to stir.

Hayden did not like people that easily.

But all of a sudden, he wanted to bring Natalie home. Was this the mother-and-son bond that they always talked about in stories?

A trace of guilt appeared in Tobias's heart, guilt for what he had robbed Hayden of.

A normal family should consist of a father and a mother.

But for more than four years, Hayden only had his father's company, and not his mother's.

kkkkk

Natalie sprinted to the office.

It was obvious that she was late - for nearly an hour.

As soon as she arrived, she had to deal with a contract, on which she had affixed her seal.

In the same afternoon, something went wrong.

As a legal officer, Natalie did not review the contract carefully and resulted in a loophole. It was estimated to cause a loss of 100 million dollars to the company.

Natalie was baffled.

Normally, contracts were fine after being evaluated by many people and only needed a quick skimming over, so nobody expected that a problem arose with this contract.

Having been in a hurry because she was late that morning, Natalie reviewed it in a rush and did not look it over properly. As a result, such a huge incident had occurred. Almost everyone in her department was talking about this among themselves in hushed voices, no one doing any work since the matter erupted.

Natalie's heart filled with regret, cursing herself silently.

How could she be so reckless?

Although Natalie was not fully responsible for what happened, she was one of the legal officers. Not discovering such a major loophole was an unforgivable responsibility.

Everyone speculated that the lightest punishment for Natalie was to be fired. If a more serious penalty were to be imposed, she might even be sent to the police.
