My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 599

"I'm sorry, Natalie. I really don't have the time to join you guys tonight. Anyway, I've confirmed with Sebastian that he'll be in Agaphen City for a while. Let's meet up next time, okay?"

Natalie agreed immediately, without a doubt.

There would be plenty of opportunities for them to meet up from now on.

"Well then, you two go ahead and enjoy yourselves." Yvonne hung up with that.

On the way to the restaurant, Natalie and Sebastian chatted freely.

They were classmates, and it'd been a long time since they last met. Natalie felt like there was plenty for them to talk about.

Sebastian was working as a screenwriter now and had become rather well-known in his industry. He had worked on some of the recent popular movies.

"I've been a little tired because I've been staying on movie sets for a long period. I just wanted to come back for a rest, but I didn't expect to meet you again, Natalie," Sebastian exclaimed.

This reunion with Natalie should be his biggest harvest.

Natalie smiled.

"By the way, Sebastian, have you gotten married yet?" Natalie casually asked.

She thought that Sebastian should have already gotten married at this age. Perhaps he even had a child or two.

Sebastian blushed and replied, "No."

This answer surprised Natalie a little.

Such a dutiful man like him should have already gotten married.

"Why not?" She asked subconsciously.

Sebastian's breath hitched, and his conversation with his aunt that day came to the front of his mind again.

"Natalie, can I tell you later while we eat?" Sebastian said.

Natalie did not think much about it. "Sure."

Sebastian brought her to a French restaurant for dinner.

Once they were seated, Natalie felt a little out of place. She saw that all the other patrons were couples.

She asked Sebastian teasingly, "Sebastian, you're not interested in me, are you? Why did you choose a lovebird restaurant for our dinner?"

Sebastian's face reddened in a beat.

He mustered up his courage and said, "Yes."

At the same time, Natalie had just taken a sip of her drink, and she spluttered at his words.

Coughing a little, she looked at Sebastian in astonishment.

She'd just been joking with him, but she hadn't expected him to reply in the affirmative.

Sebastian looked at her earnestly. "In fact, I have liked you since our freshman year."

She almost spit out her juice in shock.

With immense effort, Natalie swallowed the juice.

"Sebastian, you're not joking, are you?"

Sebastian did not hesitate at all. "Of course not, Natalie." He paused before continuing. "In fact, I wasn't going to say anything, but my aunt told me that you were single."

A sense of helplessness washed over Natalie.

She was no longer a clueless girl who knew nothing about the world. Judging from the look in Sebastian's eyes, she knew that he wasn't lying.

Recalling their university days, she realised that Sebastian had definitely been a little different with

her.

Natalie licked her dry lips. "Oh, well, I have to say that it really took me a long time to figure it out. In fact, you had to actually say it out loud for me to find out..."

Natalie was a little awkward and did not know what to do.

Sebastian had plucked up all his courage.

Now that he had said it, there was no way back.

"Natalie, if you are single now, can you consider me?" Sebastian's gaze bore deep into Natalie's.

His fair face was red all over, but his eyes were full of determination.

Looking at Sebastian's eyes, Natalie was even more awkward.

She scratched her head. "Sebastian, look... friends really shouldn't mingle..."

She'd always thought of Sebastian as her best friend of the opposite gender. How was she to know that he would've thought otherwise?

They hadn't seen each other for so many years, and here he was, confessing his love to her out of nowhere.
