My Heart only Beats for You

"You bet. Mr. Whitlock had just publicly displayed his affection towards you." Linda grinned. Natalie drew in a sharp breath.

Were they looking at her so strangely because she held hands with Tobias that morning? "Natalie, have you decided to go public with your relationship with Mr. Whitlock?" Linda asked. Natalie's hand paused mid-air. The spoon caught between her fingers. "Actually, I don't know."

In fact, her thoughts were still in a mess.

"What do you think of Mr. Whitlock?" Linda asked again.

Natalie hesitated, her cheeks painted a deep, fiery red.

What did she think of him?

Undeniably, she felt attracted to Tobias. However, everything between them was moving too fast to seem real. So, she had doubts about their relationship.

First, Tobias claimed to have fallen in love with her at the annual meeting. Then, he began making advances at her. Just a day ago, he confessed his feelings for her, and now, he even had the intention to marry her and make her Hayden's stepmom.

The problem is, they only knew each other for a short period.

Their relationship was progressing too fast, to the point where Natalie started to have doubts.

But she still couldn't figure out what was amiss.

Besides, she could not let go of the fact that Hayden's mother was still out there somewhere -the woman that Tobias couldn't forget.

Could she really replace her?

She did not have the confidence to at all.

That was why her thoughts were still a mess.

Tobias's threat was only part of the reason she agreed to date him. The other reason she agreed was because she indeed genuinely liked him.

"I don't know. My mind's a mess now, so my answer to your questions is I don't know," she mumbled with her mouth full of food.

"Well, It doesn't matter. Mr. Whitlock is gorgeous, and he is loaded. I bet there are many girls who want to be with him. Don't let go of him, Natalie. He's a catch," Linda winked. Natalie bobbed her head in agreement.

Tobias was indeed rich and handsome. Other than having a son, she couldn't find a single flaw in him at all.

Besides, it was probably time for her to find love.

She lowered her gaze as she thought about that.
