My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 598

"Natalie, I didn't bring Hayden here as a chesspiece." Cecelia was quick to explain.

"The way I see it, that's exactly what you've done," Natalie retorted.

Cecilia went silent for a moment.

"Auntie, if there's nothing else that you want to say, I'm heading back upstairs. I want to spend some time with Hayden," Natalie said.

"Wait, Natalie." Cecilia looked at Natalie. "Do you know why Tobias got in a car accident yesterday?"

Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Her thick, feathery eyelashes covered her eyes.

"Natalie, Tobias was in a hurry to look for you. He didn't pay attention to the road and ran into a construction site."

All of a sudden, Natalie felt a strong wind blowing in her ears, which made them ache a little.

"Oh, I see," she uttered in a low voice.

Cecilia looked at Natalie, her eyes full of pain. "Natalie, do you really have no feelings for Tobias anymore? Are you really going to be so heartless towards him?"

She thought that Natalie would feel something if she told her the cause of Tobias' car accident. However, she did not expect that Natalie to be almost completely unaffected.

Natalie's thick eyelashes trembled. "He was heartless to me first. That's why I'm acting like this."

"Natalie, Tobias had his reasons for acting that way." Cecelia's eyes became tearful.

Natalie did not want to continue the topic further.

She looked at Cecelia solemnly and spoke clearly. "Auntie, there's nobody in this world who just can't live without someone else. I'm still so young, I want to have a life of my own. Tobias is young and rich, I'm sure there are plenty of women out there for him. If that's the case, why should we be so obsessed with each other? Why not give each other the chance to find our own happiness instead of torturing each other?"

"Since you two are still single, why can't you choose each other?"

Natalie bit her lip. "I have a lot of choices, but none of them include Tobias."

"Natalie!"

"Auntie, let's stop talking about this. If you want to talk about Hayden, I'm more than willing to join you. But if you want to talk about Tobias, then I'm sorry but I really have nothing to say." Natalie ended the topic switly.

Cecilia's lips trembled.

Before she could say anything further, Natalie had already turned around and left.

It was almost evening when Hayden wanted Natalie to have dinner with him at the Whitlock family's villa.

"Natalie, come with me and I'll get Daddy to come home and apologise to you," Hayden said.

Natalie kissed Hayden's cheeks and said, "Hayden, I'm more than willing to spend time with you, just the two of us, but not if I have to go to your house. I'll play with you again, okay? Just the two of us."

A disappointed expression immediately surfaced on Hayden's face.

Cecilia, who was beside them, hurriedly spoke up. "Natalie, come along. Hayden would love it if you came home with us."

Natalie frowned, slightly irritated.

She had just told Cecilia that she didn't want Hayden to be used as a tool. Yet Cecelia was doing it again, albeit subconsciously.

She looked at Cecilia with indifference, "Auntie, I have a dinner date with someone."

Cecilia was taken aback.

"A dinner date?"

"Yes, with my classmate. Tobias isn't the only man in my life, Auntie."

Cecilia's expression changed slightly.

On the other hand, Hayden immediately got nervous. "Natalie, are you going to run away with some wild man?"

Natalie was speechless.

She patted Hayden's tender face softly. "Hayden, don't talk nonsense. I have my own social circle, and he's not a wild man."

Hayden pouted his little mouth and rebuked, "I don't care. All men besides my dad are wild men."

"What about you?" Natalie stared at Hayden.

It was Hayden's turn to be dumbstruck.

He sighed sadly, "Natalie, you set me up."

Natalie smiled. "I didn't set you up, Hayden. You shouldn't say things like that anymore."

Hayden was a little upset.
