My Heart only Beats for You

Natalie was petrified.

The Whitlock family was just too straightforward.

She couldn't believe that Cecilia wanted her to call her Mom.

They had only just met each other for the first time.

"Alright then, if that's what you prefer." Cecilia looked at her affectionately.

Then, she guided Natalie to sit on the sofa and asked how she was.

Natalie thought Cecilia would start questioning her about her background. She was her son's girlfriend, after all.

She braced herself for the questions and drafted the answers in her mind - her height, her education, her job, her family...

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."
