My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Natalie did not know why Tobias asked her this question, but she replied without hesitation, "I will call the police and get this person arrested."

Tobias cast Natalie a deep glance and replied, "If I were you, I would pour a pot of boiling water on her as well. Natalie, you should return the pain that others have inflicted upon you. That's the best form of revenge."

Natalie was stunned.

After a while, she looked at Tobias with admiration and said, "You are undoubtedly the president of the YS Group. What a brilliant idea!"

Tobias was not an ordinary person. He was out of the ordinary. His thoughts were unquestionably in contrast to a little girl like her.

Natalie got excited and she picked up a piece of vegetable and put them in Tobias' bowl. "Try this. It's very delicious."

A moment of hesitation entered Tobias' eyes.

"What's wrong?" Natalie was slightly stunned. Her hands were subconsciously frozen in mid-air.

Tobias replied blandly, "I don't like it when someone picks food for me using their used fork."

He was a clean freak. He didn't like it when someone used their used utensils to pick up food for him.

Natalie looked a little embarrassed. She never thought of this before. She must have been too excited.

She was about to apologize, but she didn't expect that in the next second, Tobias gobbled up the food that Natalie had put into his bowl.

Natalie was startled.

"Well, didn't you say that you don't like eating food given to you by someone else's fork?" Natalie stammered.

Tobias cast a deep look at Natalie and replied, "If that person is you, I can make an exception."

Natalie was taken aback.

A moment later, a blush imperceptibly tinged her pale and tender cheeks, her tone filled with subtle shyness. "Why are you making an exception for me?"

A hint of lust glinted in Tobias' eyes. "Natalie, have you forgotten how intense our last kiss was? Do you think that I will be concerned about such trivial things?"

This time, Natalie's face was flushed from her cheeks to the bottom of her neck.

"Stop making fun of me." She whispered, "Just stop."

She and Tobias were just a couple by agreement, yet Tobias always flirted with her vaguely. Natalie felt that it was a recipe for disaster.

After all, what if she took him seriously when he repeated them so many times?

Tobias concealed his emotions and stopped teasing Natalie. At this time, his eyes inadvertently swept over Natalie's hand.

Natalie's hand was red and swollen.

Tobias' gaze was glued on her hand.

When Natalie saw that Tobias was staring at her hand with his deep black eyes, she immediately withdrew her hand and hid it behind her.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Tobias asked.

Natalie smiled dryly and replied, "It's okay now. It's just that I accidentally scalded my hand when I was cooking just now. I have poured cold water over it. I'm fine now."

Tobias' eyelids twitched.

She just used cold water to rinse her hand. How careless could she be?

He did not continue the conversation and continued to dig into his food.

His reaction ignited Natalie's curiosity.

Natalie stared at Tobias with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong?" Tobias looked up at Natalie.

Natalie smiled dryly and said, "I thought that you would be so worried and distressed about me knowing that I was scalded. You would then command your men to send me to the hospital. The story usually goes like this in novels."

In reality, she didn't want Tobias to do this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately hidden the fact that she was injured from Tobias.

However, Tobias' attitude left her baffled. His reaction was not quite in line with the persona of an overbearing big boss male protagonists depicted in romance novels.

The corner of his mouth twitched. "As in hiring a helicopter to send you to the hospital? As in hiring the top expert for burns to treat you?"

Natalie nodded excitedly. "Yes, yes, that's right. That's what usually happens in the novels!"

In those romance novels, even if the girl was only very slightly injured, her man would go to great lengths to comfort her!

Tobias shot Natalie a meaningful look and reminded her, "Natalie, you should stop reading erotic novels. It will tarnish your moral grounds if you read too many."

Natalie defended herself frantically, "Erotic novels? I'm talking about romance novels! Not erotic novels!"

"Is there a difference?" Tobias' eyes were indifferent.

"Of course, there's a difference."

"Are you telling me that there are no s*x scenes in those romance novels?"

"Of course there are those scenes," Natalie replied subconsciously.

When she realized what she was saying, her face turned red. She muttered silently, "Oh no, I fell into Tobias' trap again."

"This man is too cunning. I'm no match for him." She thought. "This proves my point," Tobias said blandly.

Natalie was speechless.

After finishing his meal, Tobias went into his room. After a while, he came back out with a small box in his hands.

The small box had a simple design. It seemed like it had some nostalgic value to it.

"Sit down," Tobias ordered Natalie suddenly.

Natalie sat down as instructed.

"What's this?" She gaped curiously at the small box in Tobias' hand.

"It's lubricating oil." Tobias' lips curved into a smile.

Natalie immediately wrapped herself with her arms in fear. "What are you doing? I am indeed grateful towards you, but I'm not going to repay you with my body."

When Tobias saw that Natalie was hopping mad, he had the urge to tease her. He looked at Natalie with a faint smile and asked, "Natalie, do you know what a warrior would answer if a girl whom he saved in ancient times asked him to marry her?"

"How would I know?" Natalie replied subconsciously. She looked at Tobias cautiously.

A smile flashed across Tobias' face. "If the woman is beautiful, that warrior would agree to her proposal. If the woman is unsightly, that warrior would ask her to stop."

Natalie looked at Tobias in confusion. She did not understand where he was going with this.

What did his explanation have to do with the lubricating oil in his hands?

The smile in Tobias' eyes deepened. "So, even if you offered to give yourself to me, I would reject you. Do you finally understand?" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Natalie finally made sense of what he was saying.

She glared at Tobias and probed, "What do you mean? Are you making fun of me for being ugly?"

The next second, Tobias' entire body suddenly leaned forward, and his lips almost touched Natalie's earlobe. "If you can entice me to get in bed with you, it proves that you are not ugly."

Although he was joking, there was a deep ambiguity in his tone.

Natalie's face turned red immediately.

When he had really teased Natalie to be flushed all over, Tobias returned to his serious self again. "Give me your hand. This is not a lubricating oil. It's an ointment."

Natalie had only got the idea that Tobias has been teasing her.

Just as he had teased her into such a state, he returned to his former serious self all of a sudden.

Tobias was such a scheming person.

Natalie refused to stretch out her hand as she glared at Tobias angrily.

After all, this man had just made fun of her.

"If you don't give me your hand, you'll keep suffering in pain," Tobias said in a faint voice.

Natalie's eyes moved slightly as she fearlessly stretched out her hand.
