My Heart only Beats for You

Tobias then added, "I love you in the past and present. As long as it's you, I'll like it."

"Mm," Natalie muttered in acknowledgement. That simple syllable enveloped endless sweetness.

"Natalie, I can't come home tonight," Tobias suddenly mentioned.

It caught Natalie by surprise.

She had only expected that Tobias would not be home for dinner. She didn't expect that he wouldn't come home at all that night.

Her eyelashes trembled. "But... our wedding tomorrow is at twelve o'clock..."

"Natalie, I'll be back tomorrow morning," Tobias assured her, as his tone got deeper. "I'll definitely rush back tomorrow morning. Don't you worry. Your groom won't go missing."

Natalie was relieved.

Tobias' reassurance was all she needed. There was nothing for her to worry about.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow."

After she hung up, Natalie told Cecilia and Selina that Tobias would not be coming home that night.

Selina had been absent-minded since their previous conversation, so she didn't pay attention at all. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Cecilia frowned and said, "Just what is it that's got him so caught up to the point that he can't even come home tonight? That's nonsense."

She had never heard of a case where the groom would only show up on the wedding day.

As she had already passed the phone to Natalie shortly after they started the phone call, she simply could not figure out what Tobias could be so busy with.

Meanwhile, Natalie was then calming Cecilia down. "Auntie, I'm sure Tobias is really busy. If not, he wouldn't be away from home tonight. He's been so busy with work on top of the wedding preparations. He is only human, after all."

Speaking of this, Natalie got a little embarrassed. "Maybe I have indeed been too fickle. All I've been thinking about is a big surprise on the wedding day. He has been the one preparing for the wedding, and I haven't been helping much."

Natalie spoke. "What nonsense are you spouting, silly girl? A woman should feel like a princess on her wedding day. This is when he should work hard. What's the point of his efforts if he can't give you a
