My Heart only Beats for You

Natalie was petrified.

The Whitlock family was just too straightforward.

Her eyes lit up, and she stared at him like her knight in shining armor.

She immediately sprang up from the sofa and leaped towards him. For the first time, she beamed her widest smile at Tobias, "You're back, Mr. Whitlock."
