My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 623

"My great- grandfather came. He is my grandfather's father, a white- bearded old man," Hayden chirped.

Natalie was taken aback.

Hayden's great-grandfather, Peter...

She had seen him before. His old age was of no hindrance. In fact, he was spirited and vigorous.

"Well, you should spend more time with your greatgrandfather," Natalie replied.

"I like great-grandpa, but I don't like the woman that my great- grandfather brought." Hayden added, "She feels b*tchy."

Natalie was a little speechless.

"Hayden, you're too young to know what that means."

"It's true, Natalie." Hayden defended himself. "That woman pretends to be very close to me, but I can tell that she doesn't like me at all!"

Natalie did not take Hayden's words to heart, thinking it was just child's talk.

Her tone was gentle. "Don't think too much about it, Hayden."

Seeing that Natalie did not react too much, Hayden pouted but did not dwell on the matter further.

After chatting with Natalie for a while, he hung up the phone.

At 10 o'clock that night, Peter's eyelids were drooping sleepily.

His schedule was extremely accurate. Usually, he'd already be fast asleep at this hour.

Peter glanced at the time and asked Cecilia with great displeasure, "Why hasn't Tobias returned yet? It's already so late."

Cecilia sighed slightly to herself.

Ever since Natalie's incident, Tobias had been returning only in the wee hours.

She forced a smile and. "Peter, Tobias is busy with work. It's hard to tell when he'll be home exactly."

Peter was even more upset to hear that. He immediately glowered at her. "What do you mean busy? Is work more important than his own life?"

Cecilia's smile turned even more awkward.

However, Yuna said softly, "Grandpa, it's normal for men to be career- driven. If Tobias was not focused on his career but was caught in lust instead, that would truly frustrate you, wouldn't it?" The expression on Peter's face eased quite a bit when he heard that.

He huffed. "Yuna knows just what to say."

Cecilia remained calm on the outside, but a ripple of emotions had already stirred in her chest.

Peter had a fiery temper all this while, but when he faced Yuna, he seemed to have changed into another person. It seemed that he really liked Yuna very much.

Meanwhile, Peter still insisted on waiting up for Tobias.

"Well have to let Tobias to meet Yuna tonight no matter what," Peter said.

Cecilia's heart skipped a beat.

She didn't know how long they would have to wait.

Moreover, she was sure that when Tobias came back, he would definitely not give Peter the response he wanted. It was sure to stir a lot of trouble.

While Cecilia was still thinking about how to persuade Peter to go to bed, Yuna had softened her voice and coaxed, "Grandpa, isn't it bad luck for people to have their first meeting in the middle of the night? Anyway, we have plenty of time in Glevania now that we're here. The most important thing is that Grandpa needs to have a good rest."

Her voice was very soft, like a gently flowing stream, which soothed him in an instant.

Peter narrowed his eyes. "I guess you're right. Well talk about it tomorrow, then."

Yuna stood up. "Let me help you to bed."

When she saw that Peter had gone to bed, Cecilia finally heaved a sigh of relief.

There was a flash of deep thought in her eyes.

She wondered about Yuna's background. Why did Peter like her so much?

Although she was likable and handled things gracefully, Peter had seen all kinds of women. Why would he treat Yuna so differently?

Cecilia had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.
