My Heart only Beats for You novel Chapter 770

Natalie held her breath.

"Say that again!"

"I know who Grandma's father is, he's very good at basketball."

"Hayden, what's his name?!" Natalie raised her voice abruptly.

Hayden was taken aback.

He said, "His name is Santiago Lawson. Natalie, what's wrong? Are you angry? You don't have to bring me to see him, then."

Natalie felt her brain buzzing.

Her mind was reeling and in a complete mess.

"Hayden, I have something going on, let's end the call for now, alright?" Natalie simply couldn't continue her conversation with Hayden.

"Natalie, don't be angry. You don't have to bring me to see him." Hayden thought that it was his request to meet and play basketball with Santiago that made her angry.

"I'm not angry. I'm hanging up, Hayden." Natalie hung up the phone in a hurry.

Her fingers were trembling, her eyes twitching.

Her mind was in chaos.

Meanwhile, Tobias came out of the kitchen.

He cooked two dishes which he had just learned just for Natalie.

Natalie was waiting in the living room, not at the dining table.

Tobias hesitated for half a second. He didn't call Natalie to come to the dining table. Instead, he went straight to the shower.

He closed the shower door to ensure that no one outside could hear him.

Tobias made a call.

"How's the investigation going?" he asked in a low voice.

"We've looked into it, Mr. Whitlock. There was indeed a shooting incident in the United States which happened in the year you had mentioned. The man who was shot was named Zeavier Harington, a citizen of the United States. Back then, he had a wife who was expecting soon. After finding out what befell him, she shot herself in the mouth and committed suicide. Thankfully, the child in her womb was born in time. That child was sent to an orphanage, which was also the same one that you mentioned."

Tobias' heart sank.

He hung up.

Before this phone call, he was still hoping that this would be a misunderstanding, like what had happened the last time with Cecilia.

However, based on the results of the investigation...

Moreover, he had run a background check on Jessie. There was nothing suspicious about it. She hadn't known him nor Natalie, and didn't have a reason to lie to Natalie.

Tobias' brows were tightly furrowed.

He knew that Natalie had the right to know the truth.

She had the right to know that Zeavier was shot dead by Santiago.

However, how could he tell Natalie the truth?

How could he allow his and Natalie's lives to be spent dwelling on the previous generation's grievances, which could cause him and Natalie to separate?

Tobias' mind was swirling with thoughts, his eyes revealing his complicated emotions.

In the end, those complex emotions became determination.

He decided not to tell Natalie the truth.

He decided to be selfish for once.

He couldn't bear to lose Natalie again, nor did he want Natalie to suffer.

"Natalie, time to eat." Tobias walked over to her.

He seemed relaxed.

Natalie was sitting on the couch. She raised her head when she heard him call her.

Her gaze fell on his face.

Tobias was faintly smiling. His gaze was warm and gentle.

Natalie's heart froze.

Tobias had probably known about it a long time ago.

When they went to North Europe the last time, he had already known that the man who shot Zeavier to death was Cecilia's father, also his maternal grandfather.

That was why he suddenly changed.

At that time, Natalie simply couldn't understand why Tobias would suddenly change.

She didn't think that there would be a connection between Santiago and Cecilia.

However, she understood now. She understood everything.
