While Tobias was tasting the porridge, Natalie was sitting across from him. Due to the distance between them, Tobias felt uncomfortable. The porridge was cooked very well, and it was both soft and sticky..
When Tobias was eating he asked casually, "Natalie, did Remington feed you anything, such as drugs, when he locked you up?" Natalie was stunned.
Why did he ask a question like that? "Nope, he didn't," she said.
A dim light flashed through Tobias' eyes.
The answer was what he had expected.
Natalie would have told him earlier if Remington had purposely given her smedication.
The only possibility was that even Natalie was not sure. Remington might have mixed the drugs into the food or water, and Natalie would not have known about it at all. "What's wrong?" Natalie asked again.
"It's nothing," Tobias replied.
He looked up and smiled at Natalie. "The porridge you cooked is delicious. I like it a lot." Tobias' smile was radiant, as if it could overshadow everything else.
The moment Tobias grinned, Natalie had already forgotten about the question he asked.
"If you like it, I'll cook it for you every day," Natalie said softly.
A circle of ripples appeared in Tobias' eyes.
What Natalie had said was exactly what he had been yearning for.
When he cback from the company, there would be both Natalie and the porridge she prepared waiting for him. How wonderful would it be! However, now...
Tobias frowned slightly.
This matter must be solved immediately. Only then would both of them be able to live the life they wanted to. Otherwise, he would be tortured by the pain in his heart and would not be able to get too close to Natalie whatsoever.
After finishing the porridge, the two of them returned to their bedroom.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTobias knew that if he did not accompany Natalie to sleep that night, she would overthink.
That was why he essentially endured the immense pain and laid down beside Natalie.
That pain was almost unbearable for him to suppress, so he had to turn his back to Natalie. Meanwhile, Natalie was stunned.
Whenever she slept with Tobias, he had never turned his back to her.
She could not help but hug him from the back.
Tobias' heart was in so much pain that cold sweat was about to drip out from his forehead.
"Tobias," Natalie said softly.
"Yes? Natalie, it's already late. Go to sleep." Tobias' voice was a bit off due to the extrpain. Natalie bit her lip.
She realized that Tobias was treating her a little coldly that night.
On the first night of their wedding, Tobias seemed to desire her in excess. He pestered her for the whole night. Despite that, why was it that...
After a while, Natalie got rid of the thoughts in her mind.
What was she thinking about? Tobias was a person, a human being with flesh and blood, not a machine.
No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to overflow with desire for her every night.
He must be really tired. Yes, he must be tired.
Natalie suppressed the thoughts in her heart and fell asleep with Tobias in her arms.
Not long after, Natalie's shallow breathing cfrom behind him.
"Natalie," Tobias said in a low voice.
There was no response.
Tobias gently removed Natalie's hand that was hugging him from his waist.
His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
Tobias got out of bed, gazed deeply at Natalie, and then left the room.
In the room, Natalie was still sleeping soundly.
When she was asleep, she suddenly had a dream.
In her dream, she had returned to the place where she had been locked up by Remington.
Remington told her something regarding his mother. In the end, he handed her a cup of a strange liquid. He swallowed it first and then fed it to Natalie. Natalie's whole body was suddenly stiff.
After a while, she opened her eyes and sat up.
She had forgotten. She had almost completely forgotten about this! However, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.
What was that strange liquid that Remington had fed her? At that time, she thought that it was water.
What's more, it was so long ago. If Remington had really fed her poison, she would have already died of poisoning.
She thought of the words Remington had said to her when he fed her with the solution. He said that she wouldn't be able to stay with Tobias forever.
Natalie thought it was ridiculous for him to say something like that and regarded it as a joke.
Unless the liquid was poisonous and she would die after drinking it, then it would truly be impossible for them to be together. Otherwise, then it must mean that Remington was only trying to scare her. After thinking about it for a long time, Natalie was sure that Remington was just trying to scare her.
She also thought of what Tobias had asked her the other day. After contemplating, she decided not to tell Tobias because she thought that it was just water and Remington was just trying to scare her. If she told Tobias, it would only make him worry.
When she finally reassured herself, she realized that Tobias was not by her side.
Natalie suddenly panicked. She got out of bed and put on her clothes.
The first place she went to was the study.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't know why. Maybe it was her subconscious that was leading her to the study.
Sure enough, Natalie saw Tobias there.
He was leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed.
"Tobias." Natalie called out to him.
Even when Tobias was sleeping, he was alert.
As soon as he heard Natalie's voice, he immediately opened his eyes.
Natalie's eyes were filled with doubt when she was staring at Tobias. "Why are you sleeping here?" It was already late. Instead of sleeping in the bedroom, he had gone to the study to sleep.
Tobias stood up.
His gaze wavered.
Tobias did not want to tell Natalie about the matter regarding Remington. That was why he had been hiding it from Natalie until now.
Natalie's trauma from when she was locked up by Remington was already severe enough. If she knew that she had been drugged, which caused his heart to hurt, Natalie wouldn't be able to bear it. "Natalie, I..." Tobias paused for a moment. "You know, since you were already asleep, I didn't want to disturb you, so I cto the study." Tobias told a lie, a white lie.
Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then she understood.
Her face immediately turned red.
Had Tobias suddenly gotten an impulse in the middle of the night? Unfortunately, she had already fallen asleep, so he was afraid that he ET wouldn't be able to control himself and went to the study alone. Natalie lowered her head, not daring to look at Tobias. "Natalie, it's already very late, so go back to sleep. I'll spend the night here." Natalie was anxious.
How could she let Tobias stay in the study for the night? Even if she had to suffer all kinds of physical torture that night, she was not willing to let Tobias stay in the study overnight.
"It's okay, if, if..." Natalie's face becredder. Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided to go about. "If you want to do it, it's not like you E can't." S~'a''h the Find "ø"el.n't website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. After saying this, Natalie's whole body flushed red.
