My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 528

"Alright then," said Tobias pleasantly, "From now on, the servants can take care of Hayden instead of you."

Natalie was speechless.

She stared at him in bewilderment. "Mr. Whitlock, you..."

"Yes?" He arched a perfect eyebrow.

Natalie bit on her lips and decided to be a little more explicit. "Mr. Whitlock, I meant I would like to return to my apartment. The big villa doesn't suit me, and I like my tiny space better."

"You mean Bellevue Apartment, Block A, 201," Tobias stated.

She snapped her head at him, stunned.

That was her full address! How could he remember it so well?

'TH have someone purchase that lot later and forbid them from renting it to anyone" His tone was calm, like they were discussing lunch, not the possibility that she might be homeless.

Natalie did not know what or how to respond.

Did the big boss not know that he was going too far?

Huffed, Natalie answered, "Then I'll rent a place somewhere else!"

"I'll just buy whichever place you're renting." Tobias continued on faintly.

She knew very well that he had the financial ability to do that.

"Mr. Whitlock, why are you doing this?"

Tobias's gaze gleamed as it landed on Natalie. "Don't you remember Natalie, the villa was the one place you yearned for the most."

He still remembered the excitement in Natalie's eyes when he took her to the villa for the first time.

She even named the villa 'Our Home'.

Tobias's heart tightened as he thought of their past.

On the other hand, Natalie furrowed her brows in confusion.

The place she yearned for the most?

She did not have a clue what Tobias meant by that.

Tobias noticed Natalie's puzzled expression and immediately realized that he had slipped up.

She had lost her memory, so of course she wouldn't remember that.

He quickly changed the topic. "Natalie, have you made up your mind about what I asked you that day?"

Along with the things that Tobias had told her that morning.

"Have you forgotten?"

Admittedly, Natalie was crushed.

Then, he leaned forwards and looked her straight in the eye. "Natalie, before I left I did tell you," he continued, his voice hoarse. "I want answers from you once I return."

Natalie's mind had a brief flashback, like a bolt of lighting.

She finally remembered what Tobias was talking about.

She bit her lower lip hard with her teeth and hasted. "Mr. Whitlock, Hayden has a mother now, and she's back. You miss her very much too, don't you?"

Tobias's breath caught and his body went rigid.

He stood there speechless for a moment before he frowned and asked, "Lucy?"

Natalie nodded stiffly.

Even though it was a single nod, she felt as if her neck was suddenly locked in place, and moving her head felt like an immense effort.

A glint flashed in Tobias's dark eyes.

No wonder there seemed to be something wrong with Natalie today. Was it because of Lucy?

The corner of his mouth curled into a gentle grin.

She had misunderstood his relationship with Lucy, and she seemed to be frustrated about it. Did this mean that she cared about him?

"Are you jealous?" He shot a teasing glance at her with his piercing eyes.

Her eyelashes fluttered when she heard him, and her lips parted in surprise.

"No!" Natalie cried.

Jealous? Why would she feel jealous?

Tobias's smug grin grew even wider. "Really? Are you sure?"

"Of course not!" Blood rushed to her face as she denied his claim.

Tobias suddenly grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards him. She stumbled and almost fell into his embrace.

She struggled to steady herself, her heart hammering against her chest.

Tobias's hand was tightly gripped around her waist, and his hand felt hot against her skin.

Instinctively, she wanted to push his hand away, but she felt the scorching heat the moment her hand met his.

She quickly pulled her hand back.

With her face flushing, she ordered awkwardly, "Let go."
