My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 553

Natalie gaped at Yeason and said pointedly, "Mr. Lawson! Benjamin is a man, and so is Remington."

"Of course I know that, Miss Godfrey. But you also have to know that there are men with different preferences too. I think that man is interested in Remington. He has a crush on him!"

Unconvinced, she shook her head hard.

"He doesn't," she replied weakly.

Yeason's facial expressions were confident. "Why not? I trust my own senses. I see him staring at Remington's face nervously all the time. Every time you tried to talk to Remington, he would interrupt you. He must have been jealous! He doesn't want Remington near any other women, and he wants to keep him for himself!"

Natalie gave an internal sigh.

She was rendered speechless by Yeason's imaginations.

"Miss Godfrey, you know that Remington is a beautiful man, perhaps even more attractive than women. It isn't news if he would always attract the attention of other men as well," he added with a wink, pleased at his own observations.

Stubbornly, Yeason held Natalie down and continued explaining his theory to her for hours.

She tried to explain to him too, but he just wouldn't listen.

He kept insisting that Benjamin had a romantic crush on Remington.

Eventually, Natalie gave up and stopped arguing with him.

She let Yeason be. It was not like Benjamin would suffer from the misunderstanding, anyway.

Natalie returned to the ward instead.

There was a deafening silence inside.

Whenever she was not around, Benjamin would not chat with Remington.

Benjamin would only interject and ramble on when she was about to talk to Remington.

"Mr. Simpson, may I speak to you in private?" Natalie whispered next to him.

Benjamin immediately followed her out of the ward.

"What's the matter, Miss Godfrey?"

After eyeing him up and down, Natalie covered her mouth with the back of her hand and let out a meaningful cough.

"Mr. Simpson, have you noticed people looking at you very strangely recently?" Natalie asked tactfully.

After some thought, she knew not only Yeason had felt it, but many nurses and doctors in the hospital had probably felt it too.

Benjamin tilted his head in slight bafflement.

Natalie's words seemed to be true.

Many doctors and nurses had indeed been looking at him weirdly as of late.

Especially the male doctors. They seemed afraid of him and would always avoid him whenever he was near.

"Now that you mention it...yes, I have," he replied after a while.

Natalie grimaced for his obliviousness. "Do you know why?"

"I don't."

Benjamin earnestly had no idea what was going on.

"Well, they all think that you like men and that you are secretly in love with Remington." She dived straight to the point.

Benjamin stared at her in disbelief.

His face blanced instantly.

Why would anyone think that?

Why would he be secretly in love with Remington? "Miss Godfrey, I'm straight. I like women!" Benjamin's face flushed red.

He was not into men!

Natalie looked at him sympathetically, "I know that, Mr. Simpson. But others don't and have misunderstood you.

Benjamin sighed in frustration, his brows knitted together.

How could they misunderstand him?

"Actually, there is a way to resolve this," Natalie spoke up suggestively.

"What is it?" His eyes lit up.

"You can just leave," she said with an apologetic look.

She knew very well that Benjamin was forced to stay here all this time because of her.

She felt bad to have him stay by her side for so long.

"Then I'd rather be misunderstood," Benjamin replied without thinking twice.

Natalie was at a loss for words. Benjamin's dedication was truly out of this world.

That night, Natalie received a call from Yvonne.

Ever since their last conversation, Yvonne had noticed that Natalie had not been in a good mood. She had been meaning to call her again and check up on her.

She was previously occupied with work, but she finally had some time to spare now.

Fortunately, this time, Natalie did not sound as miserable as she did the last time.

Yvonne let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad that you're doing good, Natalie."

Natalie broke into a chuckle, "What are you talking about? I am always good."

Indeed, she was doing good. Except sometimes, whenever she thought of Tobias, her heart would twist in pain. Other than that, everything was just dandy.
