My Heart only Beats for You

Tobias felt rather happy at this.

"Okay," he replied in a low voice.

After arriving at the apartment, James said that he was tired and went to bed.

Natalie and Tobias were alone in the small living room.

There was a hint of awkwardness between them.

At first, they couldn't really sense the awkwardness, probably because they were in a rush to search for James.

But now that James had been found, Natalie was not in such a hurry. All of a sudden, she felt rather awkward.

Natalie hurried into the kitchen and said, "I'll get you something to eat."

She opened the refrigerator and found that there was no food at all.

Natalie subconsciously pulled on her hair. "We only have some bread left. Do you mind just having some bread and butter?" Tobias stepped forward and naturally took the bread and butter from her. "Let me do it. I'm pretty good at preparing this." Natalie's breathing hitched.

After a while, Tobias came out with two sets of bread. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As they ate, Natalie kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Tobias.

Her heart felt like it was stretched tight, and she felt oddly nervous.

Halfway through the meal, Natalie noticed there were two poached eggs in her bowl.

There were only two eggs left in the refrigerator, and Tobias had given both of them to her.

She felt as though her heartstrings were being tugged on.

She took a bite of the poached egg.

It was delicious. Tobias had cooked it so that the yolk was still runny.

After eating, Natalie's stomach and heart both felt warm.

Tobias stood up.

"Natalie, I'm heading off first," he said.

He hadn't forgotten about distancing himself from her.

"Oh." There was a hint of disappointment in Natalie's eyes.
