Tobias was a little perplexed.
Since it was related to Cecilia's previous relationships, Tobias could not reveal too much to Peter.
He could only say, "Grandpa, I can't explain it to you in such a short time, but it was an undoubtedly severe conflict, so severe that we almost missed out on each other. Natalie's a little childish, and she's not too good at playing mind games, which is why she ended up doing something silly. But it's all in the past now, and if it doesn't matter to me, it shouldn't matter to you as well, Grandpa." "Childish? She's a scheming woman!" Peter huffed.
Tobias said firmly, "If Natalie really is a scheming woman like you say, would your grandson be so utterly smitten with her? Why would she need to get mixed up with another man? If she truly were a scheming woman, she'd do whatever that benefited her the most. However, it's obvious that she hasn't." Tobias paused and looked into Peter's eyes. "Grandpa, with your intelligence and experience, I'm sure all this would be obvious to you." Peter suddenly fell silent.
He suddenly thought of the apartment where Natalie lived.
It was old and worn out. S~EaRch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
He supposed it was true that if she were a scheming woman, she would've made things work in her favour instead of causing so much trouble for herself. She was even staying in such a worn out apartment. But if she wasn't trying to get something out of this, why'd she done such outrageous things? Peter felt that a little confused as well.
After a long time, he looked at Tobias and asked, "Tobias, do you really want to be with that woman?" "Yes." His voice was steady, without any hesitation.
"Actually, Yuna is better, and..." "Grandpa!" Tobias cut him off. "I will only want one woman in my life, and that's Natalie. I don't want anyone other than her." Peter's heart skipped a beat.
He could tell from Tobias' eyes that there was no room for resistance.
Peter was silent for a long time.
"I'll stay here for a day. Think about it and tellthe answer tomorrow." Natalie was in her apartment.
James had gone out for a walk.
She suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause of Peter's appearance that afternoon.
She could tell that Peter despised her a lot. He was incredibly unwilling to let her be together with Tobias. Although she had turned Peter down, would he go to Tobias and ask him to break up with her? If he went to Tobias, what would he do? Would he listen to Peter? The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Natalie felt. Her mind hadn't stopped buzzing after her meeting with Peter.
When it was almost five o'clock, the phone suddenly rang. It was Tobias.
Natalie was even more nervous. She could feel her heart starting to race as she reached for the phone.
Tobias did not often call her around this time.
She took a deep breath and picked up the call.
"Hello?" "Natalie." "Yes?" "Where are you?" "I'm at home." "Open the door." "What?" Natalie's heart raced. She looked towards the door, surprise flashing in her eyes.
Tobias was at her door? No, that couldn't be it. At this hour, Tobias was usually still at work. Even if he were to pick her up for dinner, it'd be around six.
She opened the door disbelievingly and saw Tobias standing outside.
He stood there, his back straight, covered in a warm light.
Before Natalie could return to her senses, she was suddenly enveloped in a hug.
Just like that, Tobias' scent overwhelmed her, and her breathing sped up.
Tobias' lips were by Natalie's ear. "Natalie, I'm overjoyed by your rejection. That you didn't waver." He could well imagine the harsh words that Peter would have thrown at Natalie, yet she'd still turned him down. Natalie had finally begun to steel herself.
His breath was hot when he spoke, and it sprayed onto Natalie's earlobe, inexplicably carrying a wave of comfort. Natalie stammered a little. "Um... did your grandfather go look for you?" "Yes." "What did you say then?" "The sas you." Her heart leapt joyfully.
His words anchored her anxious heart instantly.
Natalie wasn't afraid of Peter trying to separate them as long as she and Tobias were on the spage.
Her chin was lifted up gently, and Tobias looked at her with his deep gaze.
Natalie blushed.
She could see herself reflected in Tobias' eyes.
His gaze was very focused, as if nothing else existed in the world except her and her alone.
"Thank you, Natalie, for not wavering," Tobias whispered.
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying with it an indescribable magnetism.
After that, Tobias wrapped his arm around Natalie's waist and pulled her into his chest. His lips pressed to hers.
Natalie widened her eyes in shock.
This kiss was too unexpected.
Tobias' kissing skills were as excellent as always, which made Natalie feel as if her bones were turning to mush.
Her eyes gradually went from wide open to closed, and they were caught up in a haze of passion.
When it ended, they were both out of breath.
That kiss just now had been almost too deep and intoxicating to handle.
Natalie was a little embarrassed. She deliberately shifted her gaze to cover up her being flustered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as she turned her head, she saw the clock on the wall.
Natalie was dumbfounded.
She had just kissed Tobias for nearly 30 minutes! They had not done anything aside from making out, and it had lasted thirty minutes.
Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
Was it because they were too starved for one another? Even a kiss needed 30 kiss were to get more If they v intimate, wouldn't it take them a whole day? At that thought, Natalie started to imagine the situation, and her face was bright red.
Tobias grabbed hold of Natalie's hand.
"Natalie, let's go to dinner." Natalie was all shy, and she just went along with what Tobias said.
When they'd already walked out to the corridor, Natalie suddenly m remembered that she'd yet to cook dinner for James. "Wait." Natalie stopped in her tracks. "I haven't cooked for my father yet." "It's okay." His tone was low. "I'll have someone send food over later." Natalie considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement.
It seemed that no matter what it was, Tobias could always take good care of it.
When they were choosing where to have dinner, Natalie couldn't make up her mind.
The barbecue they had the night before was scrumptious, and she wanted to eat it again as well.
However, she was afraid that Tobias would spend the whole meal grilling meat for her and not get to eat much.
After sthought, Natalie decided that it'd be best to just go to them Whitlock family's villa for dinner. she'd have the chance to see Hayden as well. Meet Hot Singles In Your Area - Registration Free Now! ☐ X
