My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 709

"Don't forget there's still Hayden. He is your great-grandson. Do you want to see him lose his mother?"

Peter's body went rigid.

Cecilia's eyes were filled with tears. "Peter, I know you hate Natalie, and I can't say that I don't feel the same. I don't want Natalie to be here either, but since she's already here, what else can we do? It's all part of their fate. Natalie and Tobias are meant to be entangled with each other, so how can we go against destiny?"

Cecilia's voice broke off hoarsely by the time she finished. Meanwhile, Peter's muscles visibly tensed.

"Grandpa, do you know why I went against you and Mother's orders and brought Natalie here? It's because I know that if Tobias were conscious and able to express himself, he would definitely ask to see her. I know he wants her to come. He wants to see her more than anything. What you are doing will only kill his hope," Selina said, her voice trembling.

Peter shuddered.

After a long while, he turned to look at Natalie.

Natalie was still clutching onto the door, her hands completely turning purple.

The bodyguards were still trying to tug her hands away from the handle, but she didn't budge at all.

Logically, it was not a difficult task for a few strong men to take down a petite woman.

But surprisingly, these bodyguards couldn't even pry her hands off the handle.

Peter's mind buzzed, and he started doubting if Natalie's arrival was indeed destined by fate.

All of a sudden, a sense of exhaustion came over him.

His eyes gleamed.

"Natalie." Peter's eyes burned brightly like torches.

"I will give you two options."

He uttered slowly, "If you leave now, then from now on, Tobias' matters will have nothing to do with you. If you insist on staying, I will throw you into Pelham River to feed the fish if he doesn't wake up within a month."

"I'll stay here!" Natalie did not hesitate for a moment.

Peter gave a cold sneer.

"Think about it carefully. I've already threatened to take your life twice, but I've been stopped both times. Third time's the charm, and I won't let you go no matter who stops me this time around. If Tobias doesn't wake up in a month, even God won't be able to save you."

Natalie's lips parted.

She knew that Peter was being serious.

Should she take the bet?

If she stayed, but Tobias did not wake up after a month, she would be thrown into Pelham River, and she would never be able to see this world again.

Most importantly, she would not be able to see Tobias anymore if he woke up in the future.

But if she didn't stay, she would be expelled now, and she would lose the chance to stay with Tobias for one last month.

"Grandpa, how could you come up with a bet like this?" Selina couldn't help saying.

Peter's eyes burned with hatred. "Shut up, Selina. If you say one more word, I will throw you into Pelham River to feed the fish too."

Selina's breath hitched.

She was taken aback by the savageness in Peter's eyes. If he'd even said something like that to his granddaughter, he was definitely being serious.

If Tobias didn't wake up in a month, Peter would throw Natalie into Pelham River.

Peter's gaze shifted back to Cecilia's face.

He warned her firmly, "Cecilia, I've let this woman go two times now for your sake. This is the last chance I'm giving her. If she stays here, and Tobias doesn't wake up in a month's time, I'm going to dump her right into Pelham River, and nothing you say will change my mind,"

Cecilia's pulse quickened.

She turned to look at Natalie, and spoke gently yet firmly, "Natalie, have you thought it over? If Tobias doesn't wake up in a month, I won't be able to help you anymore, if you leave now, you won't have anything to do with Tobias ever again."
