My Heart only Beats for You

Nothing had happened between Natalie and Remington. She'd always thought of him as a friend.

But now that she was with Tobias, Remington's attitude had becvery strange.

Natalie did not know how to describe it.

It was as if she owed something to Remington for being together with Tobias. Remington behaved so coldly and cynically.

After a while, Natalie took a deep breath.

She suppressed the emotions in her heart.

She thought that perhaps she had thought too much.

Natalie deliberately asked in a relaxed and pleasant voice, "How have you been lately, Remington?" Remington didn't answer.

Instead, he asked, "What about you?" "I'm doing great," Natalie said sweetly. "Tobias and I are getting married soon, and we're working out the details of our wedding ceremony." Remington was Tobias's little brother. He would find out about her and Tobias' wedding eventually.

Natalie knew that Remington had sfeelings towards her, but she had no clue on how deep these feelings were.

Now, she only hoped that Remington's feelings towards her would soon disappear.

"Wedding?" Remington sounded even more cynical now. "Natalie, don't you think it's so mocking to say that? Don't you think you marrying Tobias is just so ironic?" His words made Natalie frown.

She was not very happy.

Even if Remington didn't bless their marriage, there wasn't any need for him to take a jibe at it.

Natalie's tone turned rather severe. "Remington, why would Tobias and I getting married be ironic? I don't think there's anything ironic about it!" "Which part of your marriage do you think isn't ironic?" Natalie's hand tightened around her phone. "Why would it be ironic? There's nothing wrong with two people who love each other marrying each other. We might not be equals in terms of our background, and our love is more than enough to overcthat." "Natalie, you know that's not what I'm referring to." "Fine, then. Tobias didn't cheat on me, and I didn't cheat on him. We've only loved each other from the start, and now that we're together, what's so ironic about getting married?" A brief emotion flashed across Remington's face, making his eyes darken.

"Natalie," He raised his voice and said. "You forgot the hurt that Tobias had inflicted on you!" Natalie's breathing hitched.

"Remington, if I've managed to work through things, why can't you?" Natalie's tone turned a little helpless. "Tobias didn't hurtin any way. It was all a misunderstanding. Yes, it's true that I hated Tobias, but now I know that that was the best choice that he could have made at that point of time. It was the best way to protect me." Natalie now understood that Tobias had been in so much more pain than she had.

Back then, Tobias choosing to hide things from her and break up with her was what Natalie hated the most. But now, Natalie finally understood Tobias's predicament.

Because breaking up with her was much better than wrongly thinking that they were related to each other. Tobias broke up with her because he wanted to make her suffer for a while.

But once she knew the relationship between them, she would suffer for the rest of her life.

"Natalie!" Remington's voice was a little hoarse.

"Remington, I can continue talking to you if you're here to congratulate me. If not, then I don't think there's any need to continue this conversation." Natalie's tone was becoming harsh. "Natalie, are you sure you want to marry him?" "Yes, I'm sure, absolutely sure about it." Natalie said.

After that, all Natalie could hear was the dial tone.

Remington had hung up.

On the other end of the line, Remington's heart twisted, and he felt like he'd been played.

Natalie had never said that she'd liked him, nor had she said anything about wanting to be with him.

However, Natalie had once said to him that her hatred towards Tobias was endless.

How could Natalie just change her mind so quickly? She said that it was just a misunderstanding, that she had already figured things out, and she was even going to marry him. Remington's eyes turned icy cold.

He hated being cheated the most.

The phone call with Remington ended on an unhappy note.

Thinking of what Remington had said, Natalie felt a bit upset.

If Remington was just someone who wasn't of any importance to her, Natalie wouldn't think this way.

He could mock as much as he wanted.

However, Remington wasn't someone inconsequential.

Although Natalie didn't have any romantic feelings towards Remington, she did view him as her best friend of the opposite gender, even surpassing Sebastian.

She did not forget how he had helped her in her most difficult times.

But now, Remington...

His refusal to bless her marriage made Natalie feel terrible.

After a long time, Natalie still couldn't get herself out of that slump. She finally decided to go out for a breather and let out her emotions.

Natalie went to a shopping mall. She wanted to take a look at small items such as candy, as souvenirs for her wedding.

Seeing all kinds of festive things, she thought of the upcoming wedding, which made Natalie feel slightly better. Natalie cto a high-end mall, which also had high-end candies. They were all exquisite and expensive.

The lady at the candy counter was very friendly and let Natalie try out different candies. Honestly, these expensive candies now showed their true value, which were indeed tastier than ordinary candy. "Natalie." A surprised male voice suddenly rang out. There was half a piece of candy in Natalie's mouth. She immediately lifted her head upon hearing her name.

Looking at Natalie's bulging cheeks, Jack couldn't help but smile.

He remembered how, when they were younger, he'd given Natalie candy, and she'd just savour in her ve mouth like this, not wanting it to melt. As a result, her cheeks would bulge out like a squirrel. It was extremely adorable. Seeing what Natalie looked like now brought Jack back into the past.

As for Natalie, she swallowed the candy in her mouth.

There was a flash of surprise in her eyes. "Jack?" After their last meeting due to Wendy's incident, Natalie hadn't seen Jack for a long time.

She had never thought that she would be able to see Jack now.

"Do you still like candy?" Jack's smile deepened.

Natalie nodded in embarrassment.

She had originally cto this candy store to buy candy as souvenirs for her wedding, but her priorities changed and she ended up being fixated on tasting the candies.

"Prepare individual packs for each type of candy," Jack said towards the lady at the counter.

Hearing this, Natalie quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no. There's no need! It's too costly for you I'm just trying them out." sah th (F)indN\v\l. et website on Gøøgl" to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Jack still smiled warmly, saying, "Natalie, I'm the boss; there's nothing too costly about this. Since you cto my store, shouldn't I welcyou with something?" X
