My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"He married me because his mother wanted him to get married. Isn't that the case?" Natalie's breathing was ragged.

Remington stopped smiling.

"Come here, let me tell you."

"Just say it. Stop beating around the bush." Natalie frowned.

Remington pointed at his own face and chuckled, "Give me a kiss and I'll tell you. I swear."

Natalie glared at Remington and she refuted, "Why are you so annoying? This is not the first time you tried to make me do that. You've tried it the last time!"

Suddenly, she lost all interest to hear his secret. She felt that Remington was just toying with her!

"Really? I forgot." Remington put on an innocent look.

He was good-looking and seemed like a harmless man after he putting on an innocent look.

"Mr. Remington, you have forgotten about that but I remember." Natalie gnashed her teeth and added, "You're a horrible older uncle, stop making fun of me!"

Remington was taken aback.

"You said that I'm an uncle?" He was baffled.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Natalie replied with a sly look.

She knew that Remington was good- looking and had a good fashion sense, thus she called him that deliberately to irritate him. He always teased her anyway.

Remington protested helplessly, "Do I look that old?"

Natalie pretended to look very surprised. "Oh my god, didn't you know? Don't you have a mirror back home?"

His eyes were playful but it vanished as soon as it appeared.

Natalie was a sharp-tongued girl. She was like an interesting wild cat!

"You're wearing white underwear and there's a Hello Kitty printed on it," Remington suddenly said.

Natalie's body stiffened.

"How... How did you know?" She was indeed wearing a pair of white Hello-Kitty underwear!

Remington directed his gaze on Natalie's seat. "Don't you know that you're going to expose your underwear if you sit like that?"

Natalie was shocked. She realized that she was wearing a skirt. She was sitting so nonchalantly and she did not pay attention to sitting posture. Her underwear was flashing under her skirt.

Natalie put her legs together hurriedly with embarrassment.

Oh god, why did she always overlook this? Back then, Tobias reminded her about it. Why was she so forgetful? Natalie really wanted to kill herself.

Remington was eager to tease Natalie when he spotted her awkward looks. "By the way, Natalie, do you know what elder uncle means in Korea?"

Natalie took a deep breath and regained herself. "What do you mean? How would I know?"

"In Korea, women address their lovers as 'Oppa' or uncle!" Remington's eyes were like two deep abysses.

Natalie was puzzled. She realized that she was defeated verbally by Remington again.

Natalie glared at him furiously. Her round eyes reminded him of a cat.

Remington continued, "Have you been to Korea? If you have, you should know what 'elder uncle' means in Korea."

"Sorry, I've never been to Korea!" Natalie stared at him and added, "I've never even ventured out of Agaphen City, let alone going abroad!"

"You never ever left Agaphen City?" Remington stared at her sympathetically. "That's so sad. It's a big world and you should try traveling around."

Natalie put on a sarcastic smile. "Only rich people like you would travel around this huge world. Survival is my biggest problem and not travelling. If I really want to travel, I might starve to death before I even reach my destination."

Remington held his breath.

Suddenly, he no longer had the mood to crack a joke. "You are part of the Whitlock family now. You don't have to live like that anymore." Remington was seemingly trying to comfort Natalie.

Natalie's eyebrows jerked a little as she retorted, "Yeah, I'm part of the Whitlock family and I can lead a good life. However, I never forgot who I am. When Tobias decided to end our agreement, I will have to leave. Therefore, I can't afford to waste every penny. Otherwise, it'll be very hard for me to fit into my life again after enjoying all the luxuries I have now. I'll just be making things difficult for myself, right?"

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Remington's lips.

He suddenly realized that there might be another reason for Tobias to ask Natalie to be his fake wife.

This girl was smart and knew her place.

"My university is just around the corner. Stop here," Natalie suddenly said.

They were almost reaching Natalie's university.

As Natalie got out of the car, Remington suddenly stopped her.

"What's the matter?" Natalie stopped in her tracks.

"I wanted to confirm something." Remington stared at Natalie smilingly.

"What?" Natalie complained in her head that Remington was really talkative.

Remington seemed serious as he asked, "Since you're just pretending to be Tobias' wife, you should be free to fall in love, right?"

"Are you trying to date me?" Natalie asked frankly. "You are really straightforward."

Natalie was speechless.

She could guess what Remington was going to say next. Therefore, why would she pretend to not know and waited for him to speak? It was just a waste of time.

"I'm very busy and so are you, so we should end this as soon as possible." Natalie was getting impatient.

Remington was at a loss for words.

His eyes glowed. "We're not getting in bed. Why do you want to end this as soon as possible?"

Natalie was a little furious. "Dream on!"

There was a playful smile on the corner of Remington's lips. "It's just a metaphor. I'm not asking you to sleep with me."

Natalie's face turned brick red. She glared at Remington before stomping to her university.

However, she stopped in her tracks shortly after and stared at Remington meaningfully. "By the way, stop picking me up again. I'm married and I'm not interested in having an affair!"

Remington burst into laughter.

After Natalie disappeared from his sight, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Remington's lips.

This girl was interesting!

Shortly after arriving on campus, Natalie received a phone call. When she spotted the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat. It was from TObias.

"Hello." Natalie answered the call.

"Are you in class?" Tobias' voice was low and hoarse.

On the phone, his pleasant voice was more alluring than ever. Anyone who heard him would be bewitched by his voice.

"Yeah," Natalie replied.

In truth, she wanted to blurt out more words like she usually did. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

However, she held back whenever she was speaking to Tobias.

There was a short pause over the phone.

Natalie broke the silence. "You didn't come back last night. Were you fooling around?"

Natalie instantly regretted it upon finishing her sentence.

God, she was horrible at making small talks. What was she talking about?

Who would even ask questions like that?

Sure enough, Tobias' face darkened at the other end of the call.

After a while, he replied, "Your sister."
