My Heart only Beats for You

Balloons were hanging all around the house. There was a special dessert station filled with scrumptious assortments and a huge birthday cake in the middle of the table. Tobias had come home early from work that day.

When he returned, Cecilia was busy supervising the servants as they decorated the living room. Cecilia had heard from Hayden that Natalie was coming to celebrate Tobias's birthday that night. She was more than elated. This signified a good beginning to Natalie and Tobias's relationship.

If Natalie was willing to celebrate Tobias's birthday, she probably still had feelings for him.

When Cecilia saw that Tobias had finally come back home from work, she pointed at the decorations and asked with a smile, "We've almost finished setting up. What do you think?" Tobias glanced through the room and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Mother."

Cecilia gave a tiny laugh, "That's my job. This is my first time decorating the house for your birthday."

She knew that Tobias never liked birthday parties, so she had never organized one for him before.

But this year's birthday was different. Natalie was coming, and she wanted to create a warm and loving atmosphere for Natalie.

She was certain that Natalie's mood would also improve if they were in a vibrant atmosphere.

"I hope your relationship with Natalie will take a turn for the better," Cecilia told Tobias earnestly.

Tobias' eyes glinted with hope and anticipation.

He patted Cecilia's shoulder and reassured her, "Don't worry, Mother. It will."

Just then, Hayden skipped towards them in excitement, jumping with joy.

He grabbed Tobias' hand and exclaimed, "Daddy, did you see? Everything is so beautifully decorated. I can see a lot of my favorite cakes and cookies on that table."

He swallowed some saliva greedily and continued with a solemn face, "But Grandma won't let me eat them now. She said that I can only start eating when Natalie comes. Don't you think I am a good boy, Daddy? I can resist the temptation of such delicious food."

"Yes, you're a good boy," Tobias chuckled, ruffling his son's hair.

Soon, it was six o'clock in the evening. Tobias was hopeful and looking forward to Natalie's arrival.

On the other hand, Cecilia also looked a little nervous.

Hayden couldn't wait. He was jumping all around, looking forward to Natalie's arrival.

However, ten minutes had passed but Natalie still did not show up.

"Maybe Natalie's taxi is running late? It's not easy to get a taxi at this hour," Cecilia sighed, "It's our fault. We didn't arrange for a driver to pick her up."

They waited patiently until half- past six. Yet, Natalie was still nowhere to be seen.
