My Heart only Beats for You

"Natalie, I didn't bring Hayden here as a chesspiece." Cecelia was quick to explain.

"The way I see it, that's exactly what you've done," Natalie retorted.

Cecilia went silent for a moment.

"Auntie, if there's nothing else that you want to say, I'm heading back upstairs. I want to spend some time with Hayden," Natalie said.

"Wait, Natalie." Cecilia looked at Natalie. "Do you know why Tobias got in a car accident yesterday?"

Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Her thick, feathery eyelashes covered her eyes.

"Natalie, Tobias was in a hurry to look for you. He didn't pay attention to the road and ran into a construction site."

All of a sudden, Natalie felt a strong wind blowing in her ears, which made them ache a little.

"Oh, I see," she uttered in a low voice.

Cecilia looked at Natalie, her eyes full of pain. "Natalie, do you really have no feelings for Tobias anymore? Are you really going to be so heartless towards him?"

She thought that Natalie would feel something if she told her the cause of Tobias' car accident. However, she did not expect that Natalie to be almost completely unaffected.

Natalie's thick eyelashes trembled. "He was heartless to me first. That's why I'm acting like this."

"Natalie, Tobias had his reasons for acting that way." Cecelia's eyes became tearful.

Natalie did not want to continue the topic further.

She looked at Cecelia solemnly and spoke clearly. "Auntie, there's nobody in this world who just can't live without someone else. I'm still so young, I want to have a life of my own. Tobias is young and rich, I'm sure there are plenty of women out there for him. If that's the case, why should we be so obsessed with each other? Why not give each other the chance to find our own happiness instead of torturing each other?"

"Since you two are still single, why can't you choose each other?"

Natalie bit her lip. "I have a lot of choices, but none of them include Tobias."

"Natalie!"

"Auntie, let's stop talking about this. If you want to talk about Hayden, I'm more than willing to join you. But if you want to talk about Tobias, then I'm sorry but I really have nothing to say." Natalie ended the topic switly.

Cecilia's lips trembled.
