My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 31

"Don't be sad," Tobias comforted.

"I am not sad." Natalie blinked in response and continued, "There are so many poor people in the world; I'm not the only one. Everyone is trying their best to survive. How can we have the time to be sentimental everyday, right?"

"Yes." Tobias stared at Natalie sympathetically.

He sent Natalie to Themyscira Apartment and advised her, "You should read more books at home during your break. You are not allowed to go to work again."

Natalie's eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. Was she really married to someone? Why did she feel like she found herself another father?

"Tobias, are we really officially married?" Natalie addressed Tobias by his name.

"Why don't you call me hubby? I remember that you were still calling me that yesterday," Tobias pointed out.

A red hue crept on Natalie's cheeks as she replied, "I was in a pinch back then. I won't do it again."

Tobias did not continue this topic. "Alright, we're officially pretending to be married now."

He stressed the word "pretending" and Natalie understood what he was implying.

She would not cross the line even if Tobias did not mention it. They were not living in the same world and she was highly aware of that.

There was a table full of food waiting for her when she returned to the apartment.

There were seafood, milk, vegetables, meat and many more. Natalie was shocked and exclaimed, "I can't finish all of it by myself."

Aunt Lee explained with a smile, "I needed to prepare more so that you can have a balanced diet."

Natalie took a sip of the milk and she was overjoyed. She replied, "Aunt Lee, I never had so much delicious food at home. You will spoil me like this. I'll become picky too!"

"Miss Godfrey, you're so good at joking. It's Mr. Whitlock who wants to spoil you, not me. These were all made according to Mr. Whitlock's instructions. He said that you are still growing, so you need more nutrients."

She was still growing...

Natalie almost spat out the milk she just drank.

After the meal, Natalie caressed her inflated stomach. It was the first time that she enjoyed such a delicious meal and she felt grateful towards Tobias.
