My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

When dusk fell, Natalie returned to the Whitlock family's apartment and found out that Aunt Lee had prepared dinner.

Natalie did not have much appetite.

She did not have an appetite since Tobias left.

Aunt Lee put some vegetables in Natalie's bowl and said, "Miss Godfrey, you have to eat more to stay healthy."

Natalie forced a mouthful of food into her mouth and said, "I don't know why, but I don't really have the appetite."

"Miss Godfrey, you miss Mr. Whitlock too much," Aunt Lee said with a smile.

Natalie's breathing hitched.

"Couples are like that. Sweet couple like you and Mr. Whitlock couldn't bear to be apart," Aunt Lee continued.

It was not the first time that Tobias had gone on a business trip, but it was the first time that she missed him so much. Was it because her feelings for him had intensified?

Natalie ate another mouthful of food. She hoped that Tobias would come back soon.

Tobias arrived in Washington and checked into a hotel.

After Benjamin made the necessary arrangements, he left Tobias' room. He was stunned at what he saw.

He saw Winnie.

Winnie was wearing a black dress. She looked reputable and beautiful; she was like a shining star in the dark night.

"Miss Tanner." Benjamin quickly walked over to her.

He didn't expect Winnie to come to Washington.

Winnie could not enter Tobias' house in the United States, but now Tobias was living in a hotel. Benjamin did not expect Winnie to hear the news and turn up here.

"Benjamin," Winnie smiled politely at Benjamin and greeted him.

Her smile was sweet and beautiful.

Of course, Benjamin knew the reason for Winnie's presence. He said, "Miss Tanner, Mr. Whitlock is resting."

Winnie said calmly, "Benjamin, you don't have to lie to me. Tobias shouldn't be resting at this time. He should be working now."

Benjamin said, "Miss Tanner, since you know that Mr. Whitlock is busy with his work, it's not a good idea to disturb him."

Winnie's eyes twinkled as she answered, "Benjamin, he once said that I am more important than his job."

A hint of sympathy flashed across Benjamin's eyes.

No man would want to disappoint such a beautiful woman.

However, as Tobias' personal assistant, he had to make it clear that Tobias did not want to see her.

"Miss Tanner, the relationship you had with Mr. Whitlock is in the past."

Winnie's face turned pale but she soon returned to normal.

"Benjamin, even if it happened in the past, it does not mean that we cannot get back together. It's been so many years and Tobias is not with anyone else. I believe he has never forgotten about me."

After saying that, Winnie wanted to enter the room but was stopped by Benjamin.

Winnie looked at Benjamin and said, "Benjamin, I must meet Tobias today, and you can't stop me."

Benjamin blinked.

He had to tell her the truth to prevent her from day- dreaming about getting back together with Tobias.

"Miss Tanner, you're probably unaware that Mr. Whitlock is already married. You know him well so you should know that since he's married, he will never get back together with you."

Winnie's face changed dramatically. She looked at Benjamin as if she was staring at some monster.

"What did you just say?" Winnie's tone was trembling.

Benjamin gritted his teeth and replied, "Miss Tanner, Mr. Whitlock is already married."

Winnie stumbled and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Benjamin grabbed her quickly.

"Miss Tanner, calm down."

"Benjamin, you are lying to me, aren't you?" Winnie was no longer calm; her body was trembling.

Benjamin sympathized with her.

He lowered his voice and said, "Miss Tanner, please accept the reality."

Winnie was dumbfounded.

Before she came, she had made up her mind that she would meet Tobias. However, her thoughts wavered when she heard what Benjamin said.

How could Tobias be married? How was it possible?

He used to love Winnie so much... How could he marry another woman?

Besides Winnie, who else could be Tobias' wife?

"It's impossible... It's impossible!" Winnie kept muttering.

A trace of pain flashed across Benjamin's face.

"Benjamin, who's Tobias' wife?" Winnie came to her senses and stared at Benjamin.

Benjamin was speechless.

"Miss Tanner, this is Mr. Whitlock's private matter, so I'm not in the place to tell you. I'm sorry."

Winnie stopped questioning him and stumbled away.

Benjamin sighed deeply as he watched Winnie's back.

Benjamin thought, "Compared to Natalie, Winnie definitely was more suitable to be Tobias' wife. Her family background and education are better and she also looks prettier. Natalie is nothing like her."

However, when Tobias decided that he would not meet Winnie, it meant that he had chosen Natalie over her. Benjamin could only follow Tobias' orders.

Winnie went home with a pale face.

Tracy, Winnie's mother, had been waiting a long time for her at home.

"Winnie, how are you doing?" Tracy warmly greeted her.

Winnie threw herself into Tracy's arms and said, "Mom, Tobias is married... He's already married!"

Tracy was stunned. After a moment, she asked in disbelief, "Winnie, are you sure?"

Winnie nodded in pain. "Mom, his personal assistant was the one who told me the news. It must be the truth."

After saying that, Winnie's tears fell down like rain. "Mom, I..."

She choked back her tears.

She had always been a strong and independent woman; this was the first time she was so out of control.

Tracy's heart ached when she saw Winnie's state.

She held Winnie's hand and said, "Winnie, I'm so sorry. If it wasn't for your Dad, you wouldn't have broken up with Tobias."

"Mom, stop it.." Winnie interrupted Tracy. "It's not your fault. It's my fault..."

Winnie choked and sobbed. The memories of her horrifying past caused her breathing to hitch.

If it wasn't for her carelessness, she wouldn't have broken up with Tobias!

She was the only person who could be Tobias' wife!

Winnie cried hysterically and a trace of pain flashed across Tracy's face. "Winnie, there's nothing you can do by crying. What are you going to do now?"

Winnie stopped crying when she heard Tracy's words.

What was she going to do?

Her grief and pain were useless and meaningless. She should be thinking about what she was going to do!

"Mom, I will never give up on Tobias. Even if he's married, I will steal his heart back from his wife!" The helplessness on Winnie's face faded away and it was replaced by determination.
