My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 581

What was actually going on?

Who were her biological parents then?

"Don't worry, Natalie. I will help you uncover everything," Tobias reassured her.

Natalie took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"I can investigate the rest on my own. You're a busy man, so don't waste your time on me," She said.

"It's something I should do," His tone was firm.

"It's not."

"You suffered all this because of my mother, Natalie. She was the one who caused you to fall into Madison's hands. Our family owes you this much, so it is my responsibility to help you find out your true identity," Tobias defended her.

Natalie lowered her gaze.

She didn't say anything more.

In fact, she knew very well that she probably couldn't do this alone. She only refused him because she didn't want to owe him anything.

However, since he had already made up his mind, she would not stop him.

That night, Natalie fell asleep with Hayden in her arms.

Hayden had been talking in his sleep all night long.

At first, she could not figure out what he was babbling about in his sleep. But after a while, she managed to make out some words that he had been saying. "Daddy. Mommy."

He kept repeating the two words, which tugged at her heartstrings.

Was Hayden really hoping for his parents to get back together?

Was she being too selfish?

That night, Natalie lost sleep.

The next day, she made Hayden some pasta for breakfast. Just when they were about to dig in, Selina came to visit.

"Lady Whitlock, you're here," Hayden greeted and flashed her a goofy grin.

Natalie was confused.

"Lady Whitlock?" Why did Hayden call his aunt like that?

Hayden quickly answered her doubts.

"Natalie, do you know how shameless aunt is?" He pouted and placed both hands on his waist as he started talking smack about Selina, "She told me that she is still young and forced me to call her a lady. Don't you think she is shameless?"

Natalie was stunned.

Then, she couldn't help but snicker.

Selina was no longer a young woman in her early twenties, but she was still as mischievous as before.

Hayden gestured to his own face and teased, "Natalie, Auntie is so shameless, isn't she?"

"Did I just hear you say that someone is shameless?" Selina asked, faking a threatening tone.

Hayden immediately played dumb, "I didn't say anyone specifically. I'm just saying that someone here is shameless."

The corners of Selina's mouth curled into an evil grin, "Oh well, it's time for me to bring over my classmate's ugly daughter to meet you."

Hayden immediately jumped down from his chair and rushed forward to hug Selina's leg. He quickly changed his tone and buttered up, "Aunt, you're a beautiful young lady. I swear I'm not lying." Selina immediately broke into laughter.

Later that day, Selina suggested that the three of them go out together.

Natalie agreed without hesitation.

She didn't mind Selina. Selina was a bubbly person, and her presence always brought laughter to the people around her.

Besides, she liked watching Selina and Hayden teasing each other.

The three of them had a good time that day.

Natalie had brought them to an arcade. She spent the entire time laughing as Hayden and Selina fought over their turn to play with the arcade machine.

Then, they went to a fast-food restaurant. This time, the two of them fought over the ketchup while eating their fries.

Selina playfully smeared ketchup on Hayden's face, and in return, he decided to slam-dunk his ice cream onto Selina's face. The two of them laughed while pointing at each other goofily. That day was easily the best day Natalie had ever since she recovered from her amnesia.

A delighted smile slowly crept onto her face as she saw Selina and Hayden's huge grins.

After dinner, Natalie sent Selina and Hayden back to their villa.

She did not want to part with Hayden, and she wanted nothing more than to let him stay with her.

At the same time, she also knew that he could secure a better education and a brighter future if he stayed with the Whitlock's.

Besides, Tobias and Cecilia needed him too. They were his father and grandmother. She couldn't be greedy.

Although she couldn't forget what Cecilia and Tobias had done to her in the past, Hayden was still part of their family after all. When they were on the way to the Whitlock family's villa, Selina whispered to Natalie, "Natalie, do you know why I came today?" Natalie tilted her head curiously, "I don't."

She assumed that Selina had come to her apartment because she wanted to see her, but obviously, that was not the reason.

"My brother asked me to accompany you today," She said, "He asked me to ensure you were having fun."

Natalie was taken aback.

"He told me that you did not seem very happy when he was with you yesterday. That's why he gave me this important task: to cheer you

up."

Natalie said nothing and instead bit her lip hard.

He really did not have to do that for her.

The two of them were not together anymore, so there was no need for Tobias to spend so much effort on her.

"My brother is really into you, Natalie. Why don't you stay in the villa tonight and put Hayden to bed?" Selina suggested.

Natalie lowered her gaze and remained silent for a moment.

"I'll pass," She then responded.

She knew what it meant for Tobias if she were to agree to stay at his place tonight.

It would mean that she had accepted him again.

She couldn't bring herself to do this.

Selina could only sigh in disappointment.

She couldn't figure out why Natalie was this cold-hearted this time. No matter what she said, Natalie seemed to be quite firm on her decision.

Finally, they reached the Whitlock family's villa. Cecilia was at home waiting for them.

When Cecilia saw Natalie, she told her the same thing that Selina said earlier, before suggesting

Natalie to stay over.

Natalie refused the offer once more.

Hayden seemed unwilling to leave Natalie too. He tugged at her hand and talked to her for a long time.

Natalie felt as though her heart had been ripped in half.

She wished that she could stay and spend more time with Hayden too.

However, she wouldn't know how to deal with her relationship with Tobias if she did.

In the end, Natalie left.

Cecilia's face turned a little pale after watching Natalie leave their home.

"Is Natalie still unwilling to forgive Tobias and I?" Cecilia asked weakly.

They had assumed that as soon as Natalie regained her memory and learned the truth, she would be together with Tobias again. Never in a million years would they have thought that Natalie would end things like this.

"Mom, Natalie doesn't hate you and Tobias. It's just that she hasn't figured things out yet. We should take things slow. I'm sure she still has feelings for him," Selina reassured her mother.

Cecilia raised her head to look at Selina, guilt written all over her face, "Selina, it's all my fault. If I didn't make such an unforgivable mistake in the past, things would have never come to this point. It's all my fault."

Selina felt heartbroken to see Cecilia like this.

She held Cecilia's hand and soothed her, "It's all in the past, Mom. We have to look forward. Tobias and Natalie still have feelings for each other. And there's Hayden too. Their reconciliation will happen eventually. It's just a matter of time. You don't have to worry too much."

Cecilia's eyes were filled with sorrow. She nodded and replied, "That's the only thing that we can do now. Hope."

"That's right, Mom. It will do you good to let things proceed naturally," Selina added.

Selina had never left Cecilia's side ever since Cecilia was hospitalized, so she had witnessed all the pain her mother endured throughout this period.

She, too, wished nothing more than to see Tobias and Natalie reconcile so Cecilia would not have to suffer from the guilt anymore.

"Selina, let's go to church tomorrow," Cecilia suddenly said.

"To church?"
