My Heart only Beats for You

She had not expected Tobias to change chefs just because she only took a few bites.

The last thing Natalie wanted was someone to lose their job over nothing. She quickly added, "Mr. Whitlock, it's delicious. I like the food very much, I just don't have much of an appetite today." "Are you sure?" Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly.

Her head bobbled furiously.

The corners of Tobias's lips twitched. "Alright, so today you don't have a good appetite. But if tomorrow you don't eat much either, I'm changing chefs."

Was he trying to force her to eat more?

After dinner, Natalie read storybooks with Hayden.

She was there to take care of him, so she did not bother putting on an act, but vowed to fulfill her duty instead.

Soon, it was night time.

Hayden insisted that Natalie accompany him to sleep.

He was only a child, maybe four or five years old, so it was not a big deal.

She slept next to Hayden on his huge bed.

Although he was only a child, his bed was fairly large.

When he slept, Hayden was restless.

He held Natalie's hand, kicking and rolling around the bed.

Slightly exasperated, Natalie asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Don't you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow?"

"Don't mention the kindergarten. They're all childish babies." Hayden said, seemingly disdained.

Natalie could not help but snort at his mature remarks.

"Okay, okay, they're all childish. You're a mature kid, but you should still sleep early." Natalie said.

After all, she was responsible for Hayden, so she must ensure he sleeps enough as well.

Hayden blinked his sparkly eyes, "Natalie, I usually sleep with daddy. I'll ask him to sleep with us, okay? The three of us can sleep together." His request left Natalie tongue-tied.

Cricket noises blared inside her brain. "Hayden, that doesn't seem very convenient."

"Why not? This bed is so big, it's enough for three people."

Natalie wrinkled her nose, "It's not a matter of whether or not there's enough space."

"Then what's the problem?" Hayden asked, blinking his curious eyes.

Although he was wiser than most kids his age, he was still a child, which meant that he was clueless about what happened between men and women. Natalie coughed and said, "There's a difference between men and women."
