My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 573

Hayden Whitlock.

His name flashed through her mind. She was almost certain that Hayden was her son.

Natalie's gaze softened when she thought of Hayden.

He was her flesh and blood.

No wonder she liked him immediately when she first met him, and he immediately took a liking to her too. Maybe this was the bond that they had as mother and son?

That day, Natalie went to see Hayden in his kindergarten.

She peered through the fence and watched as Hayden played football with his classmates. He looked smart and cute in his uniform.

A proud smile crept into the corners of her mouth.

Hayden was the best player among the group of children. No one could beat him.

They took a break after the first match ended. Hayden walked towards the bench and grabbed his towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Natalie was amazed by his independence. He was indeed mature beyond his age, since the other children were still waiting for their teachers to help them clean up.

Suddenly, he stopped.

He whipped his head around and looked to his left as if he had noticed something.

Then, his eyes lit up with excitement as he ran towards Natalie.

Natalie's heart beat heavily against her chest.

Now that she knew who Hayden was to her, she started to see him differently from before.

"Natalie, you're here! No wonder I felt that someone was staring at me. It's you," Hayden exclaimed happily.

Natalie couldn't help but giggle when she saw how elated he was.

"Yes. It's me, Hayden."

Her eyes lingered on his little face as she took in his facial features.

His skin was smooth and fair, and he had huge round eyes that looked like olives. His lashes were long and thick, just like her own.

"Did you go travelling these days? Now that you are back, you can come home now. Please put me to bed tonight!" Hayden tried to appeal to her.

Natalie suddenly froze.

She could never go back anymore.

"I can't go back anymore, Hayden. I will be staying at my own place, but you are welcome to come visit and stay over! I can put you to bed, and I will also come to your kindergarten to see you more often."

Natalie tried to put on a cheerful tone as she spoke to Hayden.

She didn't want him to feel sad because of what happened between her and Tobias.

Hayden pouted and looked pretty upset.

"Natalie, I thought you wanted to be my stepmother! How can you live elsewhere if you wanted to be my stepmother? No, I don't want to."

Natalie felt her heart crack.

"Don't say that, Hayden. Your Dad and I will never be together."

"Why not?" Hayden's eyes widened in disbelief, "My dad is the most handsome here that all the other dads in this kindergarten can't compare to him. Are you sure you don't want such an excellent man like my dad, Natalie?"

Natalie did not know how to explain the situation to him.

She smiled sheepishly and averted the topic, "Let's not talk about this anymore, shall we?"

Although Hayden was still young, he was pretty observant.

He kept quiet.

"When will you come and visit me again?" He asked a while later.

Natalie pondered over his question and remembered that the next day was a weekend.

"How about tomorrow? I'll bring you shopping and I'll cook something for you. What do you think?"

Hayden jumped in excitement, "Yes, let's do that."

Natalie nodded and made a pinky promise with him. "Alright then. See you tomorrow."

Natalie was in a better mood after leaving the kindergarten.

Hayden was now the only person who could make her happy.

She then headed to the hospital to visit Remington. As she walked down the hospital corridor, she spotted Benjamin sitting on the bench and sighing from a distance.

In fact, he looked quite funny just sitting there.

Natalie stopped in her tracks.

She was surprised to find that Benjamin hadn't left.
