My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 722

Yuna shook her head, the very picture of intoxication. "I've really had too much to drink today. Why am I just blurting these things out?"

Selina watched in awe and amazement.

Yuna's performance was worthy of an Oscar. This was nothing short of a legendary performance.

First, she'd downed some alcohol to give off the impression that she was drunk, then brought up her crush on Tobias. She knew for a fact that Tobias' wife was seated right at the table, but she still outrightly challenged her like this in a bid to make Natalie uncomfortable.

Then, she made it seem accidental when she reminded everyone how she had done Tobias a favor.

And now she was pretending that she did not know what she had said...

Selina couldn't help saying mockingly, "It's a pity that a certain someone isn't an actress, really."

Everyone could see that Yuna was putting on a show, except for Peter.

He had so much sympathy for her that his heart was about to melt.

At Yuna's words, Peter was reminded of her contribution to saving Tobias. If it weren't for her, Tobias probably would have lost his life in the ocean.

In that instant, Peter's hatred and repulsion for Natalie grew.

"Yuna, I've let you down," Peter could not help but say.

It was all his fault. He was powerless against his own grandson.

Otherwise, he could have forced Tobias and Natalie apart, so Tobias and Yuna could be together.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? It's all my fault. I shouldn't say so much when I'm drunk," Yuna hurriedly replied.

The self- blame in Peter's eyes became even heavier.

Yuna was indeed a sensible girl.

Meanwhile, Yuna's gaze fell on Natalie, and she said gently, "Natalie, right? I'm really envious of you, you know, envious of the fact that a plain girl like yourself managed to make Tobias fall for you. You've proven to me that a man and woman don't have to be equals to be in love, as long as the woman is skilled enough."

Natalie had nothing to say.

She was completely speechless.

Of course she could hear Yuna's underlying mockery.

Yuna was mocking her for being a normal girl-next-door, and at the same time saying that she had a few tricks up her sleeve.

Yet she'd said it in such a gentle way that there was no way to fault her for it. What's more, Peter was still here, and he almost wanted to place Yuna on a pedestal.

Natalie's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything.

Naturally, Yuna's words roused Peter's anger again.

How could a woman like Natalie, who had nothing to her name, be with someone like Tobias? There was no explanation other than bad intentions and using sly tricks.

This woman was too scheming.

How could a person with such an ordinary background have Tobias wrapped around her finger?

Peter huffed.

Yuna suddenly stood up and said, "Grandpa Peter, I think I've really had too much to drink. I wouldn't be saying all this nonsense if I weren't drunk. I'm going to go out for a walk to clear my head."

"I'll have a servant accompany you. You're tipsy," Peter said.

Yuna gently nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa Peter."

Peter immediately ordered one of the servants accompany Yuna outside.

Peter, whose fury had just been sparked by what Yuna had said, was in no mood to continue dining at the moment. He stood up abruptly. "Tobias, come to the study with me."

Tobias' gaze deepened.

He took a look at Natalie, who nodded at him.

Tobias casually straightened Natalie's top. "I'll be right back, Natalie."

Though he hadn't said anything about everything that had just happened, he was clear what was going on. It looked like he had to make certain things clear to Peter.

He and Natalie would only be staying here for half a month.

Even so, he didn't want Natalie to be upset for even one second.

After Tobias and Peter left, Selina put down the fork in her hand.
