My Heart only Beats for You

"Natalie, why do you have so much money all of a sudden?" Hayden asked, taking a huge bite of his burger.

Heaps of hamburgers, fries, and Ultraman toys scattered all over the table in front of them.

They had bought all the Ultraman toys in the restaurant.

Natalie chuckled, "It's your father's money."

Hayden rolled his eyes thoughtfully as he processed her words, and then his face lit up as he squeaked, "Natalie, you finally agreed to be my stepmother!"

He hopped onto her lap before she could respond to his exclamations and gave her a big, wet kiss.

Instantly, she felt the wetness on her face from the little boy.

Then, he pulled away and held her face between his little hands while calling her "Mommy" sweetly.

His eyes were clear as spring water.

Natalie's body froze, and she stared at him blankly.

The sound of Hayden calling him 'Mommy' struck her like a punch to her heart.

It triggered something buried deep inside her, flashing for a brief moment in her mind.

Her eyes fluttered, and she struggled to recall that familiar scene, but to no avail. She shook her head instead and came back to her senses.

"You don't have to call me that. Just call me Natalie," she said embarrassed.

Her relationship with Tobias was not even official yet.

The truth was, he coaxed her into dating him after confessing his feelings to her.

Nothing serious happened between them.

It was not very appropriate to let him call her his mother.

He puckered his lips and frowned. "Why not? Didn't you promise Daddy already? I saw the both of you practicing aerobics in the bathroom, and he told me only husband and wife can practice aerobics together."

Natalie's eyes widened in horror.

Hayden's voice was loud and clear, and his words echoed throughout the restaurant. Upon hearing his words, many people turned around and stared at them.

Natalie quickly shot him a glance and hissed,
