My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"Do you know that I won't have an income if I don't have a job? If I don't have any income, I won't have any money to pay for my tuition fees. I won't even have the money to afford my food either. Aren't you being too cruel?" Natalie's blood was boiling with exasperation. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Are you done?" Tobias's voice was clear and deep.

His dark eyes were focused on Natalie and his face was emotionless.

Natalie was taken aback.

"I'm done," she replied.

"Then it's my turn. You're pretending to be my wife now, so you don't need to work. Naturally, I'll pay for your daily expenses and tuition fees."

Natalie understood what Tobias meant but she was unwilling to accept his offer.

"I don't want to leech off of you. I need to rely on myself and you can't make me lose my job," Natalie refuted.

"I'm not asking you to leech off of me. You're just a student now and it's your duty to study hard. I'll take care of the rest," Tobias concluded adamantly.

Natalie felt like someone threw a stone in her heart and it created a series of ripples in her.

She was just a student and it was her duty to study hard. These words used to be a joke to her.

She wanted to focus on her studies too but how could she study when she did not have the money? She could not even afford to pay her tuition fees, hence she could only take up a few part-time jobs.

However, someone was suddenly telling her that all she needed to focus on now was her studies.

Natalie only needed to study hard and she did not need to care about anything else!

Tobias' remarks warmed her heart.

"It's still school break though and I can earn some money. Besides, it's only six more months until I graduate, so I'm not really a student anymore." Natalie's voice softened a little because she was touched.

"You can think about making money after your graduation. Now don't bother me with the same problem again. I have all the money you need," Tobias paused for a moment and asked, "Where are you now?"

"Me?" Natalie could not fathom why Tobias suddenly asked about her whereabouts. However, she answered honestly, "I'm at the entrance of the coffee farm."

"Wait for me, I'll be right there." Tobias hung up the phone upon finishing his sentence.

Tobias always spoke so resolutely that it was impossible to turn him down. When he said that he wanted Natalie to wait for him, she somehow followed his instructions and waited for him. Natalie received a call from Sebastian while she was waiting for Tobias. Sebastian said, "Natalie, why are you leaving after just arriving?"

"I can't explain it to you now. Let's talk about it later." Natalie noticed a black Lincoln driving towards her. Somehow, she could sense that it was Tobias behind the wheels.

"Alright." Sebastian thought for a moment and hung up the phone.

Natalie was acting a little mysterious recently. He thought, "I should have a conversation with Natalie when the semester starts."

The Lincoln car stopped next to Natalie. The car window rolled down and she spotted Tobias' charming face. He was so flawless and looked so elegant and dignified.

"Get in." His voice was always indifferent.

"Where are we going?" Natalie asked instead of getting into the car.

"Are you afraid that I'll sell you off?" Tobias raised his eyebrows.

After pondering for a moment, Natalie got into the car and said seriously, "You are always too defensive."

"What do you mean?" Tobias' eyes were bright.

"For example, I'm asking you where we are going and you never tell me. You'll always answer in a roundabout manner," Natalie replied.

The corner of Tobias' lips twitched.

"We're going to get our marriage certificate," Tobias said after a short pause. A marriage certificate! Natalie was shocked.
