My Heart only Beats for You

"Tobias, there's no need for you to worry. You're an excellent man," Simon said with certainty. As a psychologist, he was sure that no woman could resist such an excellent man like Tobias.

Tobias gave a helpless, mocking laugh. "But Natalie can't see any of my good points. The only thing she can see is how I hurt her, and nothing I do can wash that away. Simon, I'm terrified. I'm terrified that I'm really going to lose her one day. I can't take it."

Simon's breathing hitched.

"Tobias, you care too much about Miss Godfrey. You should calm down. If you are too nervous, you will hurt Miss Godfrey as well."

Simon's advice seemed to wash over Tobias like water trickling down a duck's back.

"I can't help being anxious. I tried to relax, tried my best to smoothen our relationship, but she went drinking with Remington and she went out with another man. Simon, the only thing I could do to keep myself sane was to keep her in my line of sight at all times. That way, I can tell myself that she's mine."

These words made Simon's heartbeat start to quicken.

He thought Tobias was fine before, but Tobias' words suddenly made Simon realize that Natalie was right.

Tobias was indeed becoming a little morbid.

He cared about Natalie too much and was too tensed up all the time.

However, Natalie was trying to leave him with all her might.

He couldn't get what he wanted, so he could only set up a cage and imprison Natalie in it.

"Tobias, you are a bit morbid right now. I believe that you need therapy," Simon chided gently.

"I understand." Tobias got straight to the point. "But I refuse to go for therapy."

"Tobias, you..."

Tobias looked directly into Simon's eyes. "Simon, I'd rather be sick than to constantly worry about Natalie leaving me. I'd rather trap her in my web and make her hate me than to see her leave me." Natalie was anxiously waiting in the living room. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Natalie didn't know the result of Simon's talk with Tobias.

She could only pray that Simon would talk some sense into him and make Tobias less obstinate.
