My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 585

Natalie forced a smile, "Okay then. I will send you home."

She ordered a taxi for the two of them and sent Hayden back to the Whitlock family's villa.

When they arrived at the villa, a black Bentley pulled up at the front gate.

Natalie held Hayden's hand gently and guided him out of the taxi. Meanwhile, Tobias got out of his car.

At that moment, their eyes met.

The pale moonlight barely illuminated their faces.

Hayden shook off Natalie's hand and ran towards Tobias, leaping as he laughed, "Daddy! You're back."

Tobias nodded at him.

He scooped Hayden into his arms and muttered, "You go in with Auntie. I need to talk to Natalie."

Hayden blinked at Tobias thoughtfully.

Then, he hopped down from Tobias's arms and tottered into the villa with the maid.

Natalie was about to leave after seeing Hayden walk into the house.

"Natalie," Tobias called her name.

Her footsteps faltered, but she did not stop walking.

She swung open the car door and said, "Sir, please send me back to my apartment."

Tobias immediately walked to the window of the driver's seat and declared, "Don't you dare."

His deep voice echoed in the silence of the night.

The driver was frightened by Tobias's aura. Needless to say, he daren't disobey.

He turned to smile bitterly at Natalie and gave a random excuse, "I'm sorry, Miss. I'm off duty now. I have something else to do."

Natalie's eyelashes fluttered.

With no choice, she got out of the car.

"What do you want, Tobias?" She asked in a monotonous tone, devoid of all emotion.

"I'll send you home," Tobias offered gently, his voice smooth as silk.

Natalie said nothing and walked straight towards his car.

She knew that if she didn't agree to let him send her home, he wasn't planning to let her go back.

Since he had already offered to send her home and it was not a big deal for her anyway, she could just treat it as a free ride.

She sat in the back seat and looked out of the window during the drive, avoiding his gaze.

Noticing Natalie's indifferent attitude, Tobias couldn't bring himself to talk to her.

The two of them remained silent the entire way back.

Finally, after enduring what seemed like an eternity of awkwardness, they arrived at Natalie's apartment.

Tobias stopped the car in front of the apartment.

When Natalie reached out to open the door, she realized that it was locked.

She turned to look at Tobias.

He shifted his body to face her.

"Unlock the door," Natalie ordered.

Natalie shot Tobias a cold look, her gaze threatening to shoot daggers into his heart. It hurt him so much that he felt hard to breathe.

He drew in a stuttered breath and admitted, "Natalie, my feelings for you have never changed. Please don't avoid me."

"That has nothing to do with me."

Tobias narrowed his dark eyes at her and said, "I understand that you still can't let go of your worries. I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."

His gaze was as deep as the ocean and as boundless as the night sky. Somehow, Natalie found herself drowning in them.

At that moment, she was lost in his spell.

However, she managed to snap herself back to reality.

"Let me out," She repeated again with more force.

Hurt flashed across Tobias's gorgeous features.

"Alright," He muttered.

There was an immeasurable sadness in his voice when he finally let her leave.

Soon, Tobias returned to the villa.

It was only a short journey, but it felt like an eternity.

His face seemed downcast and troubled. Rubbing his temples, he pushed open the main door and shuffled into the house.

When he walked into the living room, he was surprised to see Hayden sitting on the sofa eating a cup of jelly.

"Hayden? Why aren't you in bed yet?" Tobias frowned.

It was way past Hayden's usual bedtime already.

"Daddy, I was waiting for you to come back," Hayden shoved a spoonful of peach-flavored jelly into his mouth as he grinned, "I have some good news for you."

Tobias' perfectly arched brows raised in curiosity.
