My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 523

At the banquet full of gorgeous gowns and tuxedos, Natalie was the only one in sportswear.

"That was special." Tobias corrected her.

Natalie's grip on her phone tightened, "Mr. Whitlock, you're really not joking with me?"

"No," came his swift reply, without any hesitation.

Tobias's dark eyes looked as if it was immersed in the deep blue of the sea.

After a while, he repeated his question, making Natalie blush and her heart beat faster, "Natalie, do you like me?"

The light was warm, casting a soft glow on Natalie's long lashes.

She did not know how to answer.

Did she like the big boss?

Whenever she saw him, her face would turn red and her heart would quicken, and she was not repulsed by his intimate acts.

But could a nobody like her even think about being with a guy like him?

Natalie was in a dilemma.

For a moment, they could only hear the sound of each other's breathing over the phone.

In the end, Tobias broke the silence, "Natalie, don't worry about it. We'll talk when I get home."

Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Goodnight, then. I'm going off to bed," she said, anxious to hang up the phone.

Her nerves were all over the place.

But when they ended the call, Natalie suddenly felt disappointed.

He hung up just like that, huh?

What else did she think Tobias was going to say to her?

That night, Natalie could not sleep. She was completely restless, unable to fall asleep for even a second.

She had always thought that nothing could be more important than getting her beauty sleep.

Alas, she was wrong.

After a restless night, Hayden had already woken up but she was still lying in bed with her eyes wide open.

Hayden waved his little hand in front of her, "Natalie."

Natalie looked blankly at him, "Huh."

"You've turned into a panda." Hayden pointed at her eyes.

Natalie felt for her eyes, which seemed to be swollen.

She figured that there must be dark circles around her eyes because of the one night of sleep she had lost.

"Natalie, let's go have breakfast." Hayden pulled on Natalie's hand.

She shook her head, "You go ahead, I didn't sleep at all last night."

Hayden's eyes turned in thought, "I know. It must be because my father is away. You miss him so much that you can't sleep, right?"

He was half right.

Though Natalie's insomnia was not because Tobias was away, it was indeed because of him.

She simply said a little sheepishly, "Little kids shouldn't talk about things they don't understand."

"I'm not a child anymore. If you have something on your mind, you can tell me. I won't tell my dad," Hayden said eagerly, "It'll be our secret."

Natalie's mouth twitched as she watched him get all excited.

Was Hayden really just a kindergartner?

Why did he seem so mature?

But no matter how muddle-headed she was, she would never tell a child her worries.

Natalie buried her head in a pillow and said, "No more talking, I'm going to sleep."

Hayden pouted, "Fine."

With that, he jumped off the bed and pattered off.

After he left, Natalie let out a long sigh.

Good heavens, what should she do?

Her heart was in utter chaos, all because of Tobias's words.

After staying in bed pondering over things for a while, Natalie felt a twist of hunger in her stomach.

She got up to have breakfast.

Although she was a little disoriented, breakfast was still very important.

If she skipped breakfast, how could she have enough energy to continue letting her imagination run wild?

Hayden was no longer home. A servant told her that he had gone off with the driver to pick someone up.
