My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 674

Not to mention, Tobias had been very independent since he was a child. Even if Peter were to put a knife to his neck, Tobias would not listen to him so easily.

Peter held back his thoughts.

He was just about to say something else when he saw Tobias already striding towards them.

Natalie also noticed Tobias.

As she watched him approach them, she felt at ease.

Although she was the one who'd told Tobias to leave earlier, her heart had almost leapt out of her throat when he left. Now that he was back, her heart settled back into her chest.

Peter glanced at Tobias with displeasure. "Why are you in such a hurry to come back? Are you still worried that I would do something?"

Tobias smiled.

He did not feel at ease leaving Natalie alone.

It was not because he was afraid that Peter would do something to Natalie. After all, he still had faith in Peter.

It was just that Peter could be vicious with his words, and Natalie wasn't exactly the strongest mentally. Tobias was worried that Natalie wouldn't be able to take it.

Tobias put the bag in his hand on the table. "I bought some fruits just for you, Grandpa. Have some."

Peter snorted. "Don't tell me there aren't any fruits in this restaurant. Why would you need to buy them yourself?"

It was clearly just an excuse!

Tobias had already opened the bag and started to take out the cut fruits. "Grandpa, everyone has their own talents. This restaurant specialises in cooking food, but the fruits here might not be the freshest. Of course it'd be better to eat fruits from a fruit shop."

Natalie saw a box of sliced pineapple.

It was a vibrant yellow and looked tasty.

Natalie mustered up the courage to place the pineapples in front of Peter. "Mr. Whitlock, eating pineapples after a meal is good for digestion. Perhaps you can give it a try."

Peter glanced at Natalie and did not speak.

In the end, although he did not eat it, he did not push away the pineapple that Natalie had put in front of him.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that this was the greatest respect Peter could give her.

After having some fruits, the three of them left the restaurant.

Tobias proposed to see Peter off.

Peter waved his hand. "No need. I have my own chauffeur. I don't need a brat like you to send me off."

Natalie happened to see a Lincoln stretch limousine parked in front of the restaurant. It was the car that was parked outside her apartment that day.

After Peter got into the car, Tobias sent Natalie back.

While in the car, Natalie asked rather apprehensively, "Your grandfather... does this mean that he's accepted me?"

Tobias' eyes flashed. "You could say that he does."

Natalie bit her lip. "But he still doesn't seem to like me very much right now."

Tobias' low voice had the natural power to make one calm. "Natalie, this is just the beginning. Things will get better with time. My grandfather is a good person, and he's also a good judge of character. Sooner or later, he'll understand who you actually are."

Upon hearing Tobias' words, Natalie gradually calmed down.

She smiled. "I hope that's true."

"You don't have to hope." Tobias took a look at Natalie. "It'll happen for sure."

His tone was so serious and certain.

The smile on Natalie's lips deepened as well. "Yes, for sure."

When they arrived at Natalie's apartment, they were a little reluctant to part with each other.

Tobias held Natalie's hand.

"Natalie, why don't you stay at my place tonight?" Tobias gazed at Natalie.

Just now, he had only wanted to send Natalie back. Now that Natalie was really back, he suddenly felt reluctant. It only just occurred to him that he could ask Natalie to sleep at his place.

Natalie's eyelashes fluttered.

Actually, she did not want to part with Tobias either.

Emotions were truly inexplicable.

For example, Natalie's feelings for Tobias seemed to have grown exponentially after going through a breakup and reconciling with him. She was also more reliant on him.
