Not to mention, Tobias had been very independent since he was a child. Even if Peter were to put a knife to his neck, Tobias would not listen to him so easily. Peter held back his thoughts.
He was just about to say something else when he saw Tobias already striding towards them.
Natalie also noticed Tobias.
As she watched him approach them, she felt at ease.
Although she was the one who'd told Tobias to leave earlier, her heart had almost leapt out of her throat when he left. Now that he was back, her heart settled back into her chest. Peter glanced at Tobias with displeasure. "Why are you in such a hurry to cback? Are you still worried that I would do something?" Tobias smiled.
He did not feel at ease leaving Natalie alone.
It was not because he was afraid that Peter would do something to Natalie. After all, he still had faith in Peter.
It was just that Peter could be vicious with his words, and Natalie wasn't exactly the strongest mentally. Tobias was worried that Natalie wouldn't be able to take it.
Tobias put the bag in his hand on the table. "I bought sfruits just for you, Grandpa. Have some." Peter snorted. "Don't tellthere aren't any fruits in this restaurant. Why would you need to buy them yourself?" It was clearly just an excuse! Tobias had already opened the bag and started to take out the cut fruits. "Grandpa, everyone has their own talents. This restaurant specialises in cooking food, but the fruits here might not be the freshest. Of course it'd be better to eat fruits from a fruit shop." Natalie saw a box of sliced pineapple.
It was a vibrant yellow and looked tasty.
Natalie mustered up the courage to place the pineapples in front of Peter. "Mr. Whitlock, eating pineapples after a meal is good for digestion. Perhaps you can give it a try." Peter glanced at Natalie and did not speak.
In the end, although he did not eat it, he did not push away the pineapple that Natalie had put in front of him. She heaved a sigh of relief.
She knew that this was the greatest respect Peter could give her.
After having sfruits, the three of them left the restaurant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTobias proposed to see Peter off.
Peter waved his hand. "No need. I have my own chauffeur. I don't need a brat like you to sendoff." Natalie happened to see a Lincoln stretch limousine parked in front of the restaurant. It was the car that was parked outside her apartment that day.
After Peter got into the car, Tobias sent Natalie back.
While in the car, Natalie asked rather apprehensively, "Your grandfather... does this mean that he's accepted me?" Tobias' eyes flashed. "You could say that he does." Natalie bit her lip. "But he still doesn't seem to likevery much right now." Tobias' low voice had the natural power to make one calm. "Natalie, this is just the beginning. Things will get better with time. My grandfather is a good person, and he's also a good judge of character. Sooner or later, he'll understand who you actually are." Upon hearing Tobias' words, Natalie gradually calmed down.
She smiled. "I hope that's true." "You don't have to hope." Tobias took a look at Natalie. "It'll happen for sure." His tone was so serious and certain.
The smile on Natalie's lips deepened as well. "Yes, for sure." When they arrived at Natalie's apartment, they were a little reluctant to part with each other.
Tobias held Natalie's hand.
"Natalie, why don't you stay at my place tonight?" Tobias gazed at Natalie.
Just now, he had only wanted to send Natalie back. Now that Natalie was really back, he suddenly felt reluctant.
It only just occurred to him that he could ask Natalie to sleep at his place. Natalie's eyelashes fluttered.
Actually, she did not want to part with Tobias either.
Emotions were truly inexplicable.
For example, Natalie's feelings for Tobias seemed to have grown exponentially after going through a breakup and reconciling with him. She was also more reliant on him.
She was about to agree, but suddenly she remembered the promise she had made to James earlier that day.
She had promised James to go with him to the sea the next morning.
Natalie said softly, "No, I have to accompany my father to see the sea tomorrow." A hint of regret flashed in Tobias' eyes. SeaR*ch the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Natalie had just got out of the car when Tobias called out to her. "Natalie, do you needto go with you tomorrow?" Natalie shook her head and said, "No, you can go ahead with your things." "I don't have much to do. It's important to keep you company." Natalie felt a warmth in her heart.
She smiled and said, "My father's quite introverted. I don't think he'll feel comfortable with you there, so it's better for it to be justand him." Upon hearing Natalie's words, Tobias had to give up.
"Then I'll be going." Natalie waved at him.
"Wait, Natalie." "Is there anything else?" Tobias suddenly pointed to his own face. "Natalie, kissbefore you leave." Natalie fell silent.
She started to blush.
Hayden was already in kindergarten, yet Tobias' words made it feel like they were like a couple who was still in the honeymoon stage.
Her eyelashes fluttered. "Do I really have to?" "Yes." He looked attractive under the moonlight.
His eyes were even more beautiful than the stars in the sky.
Natalie walked over and quickly pecked Tobias' face.
"That's all..." Tobias suddenly pulled her close and pressed his lips to hers.
Natalie tried her best to push him away, in fear that other people would see them.
However, it took Tobias just an instant to pry open her lips and teeth.
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Natalie's eyes. "I don't want to bother about you anymore! I'm leaving." After that, she quickly ran to the stairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTobias looked at Natalie's slender figure as she left, and he smiled.
The next day, James woke Natalie up.
She was still in deep slumber.
She dreamt about both Hayden and Tobias.
She told Hayden the truth, that she was his biological mother.
Unexpectedly, Hayden quickly accepted this fact and even beccloser to her.
The family of three walked hand in hand on the beach.
At this moment, her dream was interrupted by James.
James stood beside her bed. Under the light, he gave off a mysterious sensation.
"Natalie, we should get up," James said.
Natalie looked out of the window. It was still dark outside.
"What tis it?" Natalie took a look at her phone, which was placed on her bedside table. She was going to faint. It was only four in the morning.
"Dad, have you gotten the twrong? It's only four o'clock right? e now." Natalie was speechless. James said seriously, "We have to go early. The sea only looks good in the early morning." She was silent.
Well, since he wanted to go early in the morning, she'd just go along with it.
