My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 101

If Tobias hadn't shown her such a documentary, Natalie would never have thought that there were people in this world who were as miserable as her.

She thought everyone's parents loved their children and that her parents were the only exception.

The name of the documentary was: "Not all parents can be called real parents."

The first part told the story of a girl born to a family that prioritized sons over daughters. Ever since her parents had given birth to a son, they didn't care about this daughter anymore. There was a time when the daughter accidentally made her brother cry, and her parents ended up beating her young daughter so hard that she fell into a vegetative state. Bruises and injuries covered her whole body.

The second story was about a mother. As her husband was often away from home, she had a long-term extramarital affair with her lover at home. During one of her dates, her son suddenly woke up and cried. She tied up her son's hands and feet and sealed his mouth with tape. Later, when she finally remembered to release her son, he had died of oxygen deficiency.

The third story was about a young couple who liked to gamble, and they lost all their money in the end. In the end, the couple ventured into selling children to make profits, and the children they sold were their flesh and blood. Every time they gave birth to a child, they would immediately sell them to human traffickers.

After watching these horrifying cases, Natalie was completely shocked.

Tobias came over at that moment. He stared at Natalie with his dark eyes and said in a low voice, "In my opinion, your mother is no different from these people."

Natalie's breathing paused for one second.

A moment later, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "They are indeed the same."

"So, Natalie, do you now know that not everyone can be called a parent? People like them don't deserve your kindness. They don't deserve to be human, let alone a mother."

Tobias' voice was deep and hoarse, but there was an unspeakable force in it.

Natalie was silent for a long time.

A moment later, she suddenly raised her eyes and said in a somewhat carefree voice, "You are right. I can't always be kind to such a person. I used to think that I am the most pitiful person in the world. Now it seems that many people are as miserable as me. I shouldn't wallow in self-abasement anymore!"

Natalie paused and added, "I will live my life to the fullest from now on!"

Tobias's eyes darkened. "As long as you have it all figured out."

Natalie nodded and replied, "Of course I have figured it out. If I can't figure this out, how can I go on with life?" She has always been an open-minded and sensible person. Or else, how could she pull through all those miseries and hard times.

Tobias nodded. "It's good that you have such an attitude."

Another spell of silence was cast among them.

Natalie was the first to break the silence. She looked at Tobias and said earnestly, "Tobias, thank you. Today, you have accompanied me and made noodles for me besides giving me some direction in life. I really appreciate it."

When he stared at her eyes, which were filled with a glint of blurriness, Tobias felt a strange jolt in his heart.

"Don't mention it," Tobias's tone was devoid of any emotion. "You are my wife after all."

As if he could predict what Natalie would say next, he added, "Although we are just a couple by agreement, this is still my duty."

Natalie's eyelashes trembled slightly.

At that moment, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

She thought, "Tobias's real wife would be blessed to have such a good man like him in her life."

After all, Tobias was already treating his nominal wife so nicely. If she was his real wife, she could only imagine how great her life would be.

"What's on your mind?" Tobias noticed a thoughtful look on Natalie's face.

Upon hearing Tobias's question, Natalie subconsciously looked up at Tobias and fell into the man's deep eyes. His eyes were as deep as the sea.

His eyes were bottomless. It was as if anybody who locked eyes with him would inadvertently fall into that deep abyss.

Natalie suddenly became flustered.
