My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 701

She shook her head and cautiously asked, "I haven't got the chance yet, Mom. What's wrong?"

Determination flashed in Cecilia's eyes. "Selina, promise me not to tell Natalie. Don't tell her that Tobias is still alive. Just let Natalie think that..." Cecilia uttered word by word, "That Tobias is already dead."

Selina was shocked to the core.

Her eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at Cecilia in disbelief.

How could Cecelia want her not to tell Natalie?

Tobias and Natalie were so in love. Natalie was clearly hoping for Tobias to wake up day and night, so why should she not tell her?

"Mom, why shouldn't I tell Natalie? Natalie really hopes that Tobias is still alive too, and..." Selina stammered. "I'm sure Tobias would want to see her when he wakes up as well."

Cecilia's tone consisted of only bitterness. "Selina, do you believe in fate?"

Selina's eyes widened, stunned.

"Selina, maybe Tobias and Natalie aren't meant to be together. They're both wonderful people, but maybe they're just not supposed to be together. Why else would so many things happen? Tobias has even ended up like this."

"Perhaps the heavens just don't want them to be together, and bad things will happen if they are. They might even lose their lives."

"That's why you can't tell Natalie, Selina. Never let her find out that Tobias is still alive. Otherwise, we can't predict what will happen in the future." Cecilia's eyes flashed with intense pain and sorrow. She was afraid, too much so. Tobias was her only son, and she could not take it anymore.

Selina's breathing hitched. She knew that her mother had always liked Natalie a lot.

What's more, she knew how much her mother wanted Natalie to be together with Tobias.

She had never expected that one day, Cecilia would stop Natalie and Tobias from being together anymore.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Natalie didn't know how she'd made it through a whole month, but she did.

She'd made it through, with her endless longing and constant insomnia.

For a whole month, Natalie went to the beach

everyday.

The armed policemen guarding there had all withdrawn, and the surface of the sea had regained its usual blue, as if nothing had happened.

It was as if the bomb that had caused a sensation throughout the whole city weeks ago had just been an illusion.

Natalie stared at the beach for a long time every day, just sitting on the sand.

She always felt that there would be a day when someone would pat her on the shoulder.

When she turned her head, she would see Tobias.

He would give her a smile, as gentle as usual.

He would look incomparably handsome in the morning sun, and the smile on his lips would be so bright that it would outshine every other living creature.

He would say to her, "Natalie, I'm back."

But why had that day not come yet?

When would Tobias be able to come back?

Aside from going to the beach, Natalie also often went to the kindergarten to see Hayden.

Hayden was still as stubborn as a mule.

He had yet to say a word to Natalie.

But from that day on, after the day that Yvonne had said those words, Hayden's eyes were no longer filled with hatred. There was only indifference.

Hayden was starting to resemble Tobias more and more.

Hayden's appearance was uncannily similar to Tobias'to begin with, but his personality was still odd and quick-witted, like that of Natalie.

But now, his cold and indifferent look was like a carbon copy of Tobias.
