But people had to accept reality, didn't they? For example, Jenkins was such a handsand powerful man.
Not to mention, he was cold and imposing. He was the perfect model of a protagonist from a .
If Yvonne was still in university, she would definitely have been completely mesmerized by Jenkins and would have loved him immensely. But now, she did not.
Because she knew that she was just a toy, Jenkins' toy.
That was why she did not casually give her heart away so easily.
People had to be realistic. Otherwise, they would have to pay a painful price.
Benjamin was a little frightened.
He did not know why Tobias was so angry as soon as he returned to the office that day.
His expression was so dark... and cold.
Not to mention, Tobias had suddenly asked Benjamin why a man would give a woman roses.
Benjamin was speechless.
In that moment, he was stunned. A childish and boring question like that really did not seem like something Tobias could ask.
Benjamin said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Whitlock, someone would probably only give a person roses if they were dating." Truthfully, he was a virgin, and he had never dated before.
Tobias was simply asking the wrong person this question.
As expected, Benjamin's answer made Tobias very dissatisfied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis expression darkened further.
After Benjamin left the office, Tobias walked up to the floor-length window in frustration.
Outside the window, he could see tiny figures scurrying around below.
His mind would not stop replaying the image of a man giving Natalie a huge bouquet of roses.
He had seen that man before.
It was the man who had draped the coat over Natalie's body. The man who had eaten with Natalie. Tobias beceven more agitated.
The day before, Natalie had just told him that there was nothing between her and Remington.
Yet he'd run into her with another man.
However, Tobias was not in a position to question Natalie.
Because now, he had nothing to do with her. How could he question her? It was up to Natalie to decide who she wanted to be with.
Tobias' mind was in a flurry.
In the end, he could not help but call Natalie.
He didn't mention anything about what he'd seen. He spoke to her about meeting up the next day. "Let's set a place to meet tomorrow," Tobias said in a firm tone. He did not even call her name.
He felt very uncomfortable, but he had no way to vent his anger.
Natalie, who was on the other end of the line, held her breath.
During this period of time, Tobias had been much gentler when they talked to each other, but he was suddenly speaking to her in such a forceful manner... She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. Not to mention, earlier that day, Yvonne had brought up Tobias and that woman. Natalie felt even more uncomfortable.
Her tone immediately becupset. "How about I just spend the day with Hayden? I'll pick Hayden up from your place. You don't have to join us, it'll be justand Hayden." Natalie wanted to say that he could go on a date with his new, younger lover, but before she could get it out, Tobias cut her off. "Fine." Tobias' answer made her even angrier.
"Fine, that's it, then." Natalie suddenly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she felt wronged.
They had said that they would spend Children's Day with Hayden together, but he was suddenly not going... He must have planned to be with his new lover.
That was right. That new lover of his certainly seemed young. Maybe Tobias was going to celebrate Children's Day with her instead! The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved and angry she became.
Right then, Natalie almost forgot that she was the one who told Tobias not to go.
The next day, Natalie went to pick up Hayden.
She hesitated for a long tas she put on her clothes, but she ended up dressing casually.
She did not wear the light green dress she bought yesterday.
At first, she wanted to wear it for a certain someone to see, but it turned out that he had a new lover. Was it worth it anymore? Natalie and Hayden had a good ttogether.
Hayden was quite happy, but his only regret was that Tobias was absent.
At the amusement park, Hayden and Natalie were eating at a children's restaurant.
Hayden drank the Coca Cola and said, "Natalie, it's a pity that Daddy didn't come. If he had come, I would have been happier." Natalie huffed to herself.
Hayden continued, "It's weird. Daddy promisedthat he'd spend the day with me, and he even planned out the whole day. Last night, he suddenly said that he wasn't coming. I don't know what's going on with him." "Maybe there's something wrong with his head," Natalie said indignantly.
When she thought of Tobias and that young lady hugging each other, she felt uncomfortable.
Hayden's eyes brightened. "You're right! He's been acting really weird, you know. He's happy one moment, then mad the next. He's also been really temperamental." Natalie took a bite of the hamburger. "Maybe it's because he's older now, he's beca little weird." There was a strong hint of jealousy in her tone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven Hayden felt that something was off.
In the evening, Tobias made a call.
He called Natalie's phone.
After glancing at the phone, Natalie gave the phone to Hayden. "It's your father." She didn't want to answer Tobias' call.
People were incredibly strange, and were easily lit aflby just a single sentence.
For example, before, Natalie's resentment towards Tobias had not been that strong. Sahad not the Find .not website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. They had separated just like that, and it would be fine if the two of them were each doing well.
However, so many things had happened again. Tobias had helped her in the shopping mall, and had helped her look for James when he disappeared. Initially, she was grateful towards Tobias. However, the day before, Yvonne's words had lit her aflame.
Although even Natalie herself felt that it was a little inexplicable, she he really could not control her feelings. After taking the phone and glancing at Natalie, Hayden ran to the other side to answer the call. There was no sound after the phone was connected.
"Daddy, why aren't you saying anything?" Hayden asked doubtfully.
He heard Tobias' voice from the other end of the line. "Hayden?" "It's me, Daddy." "Why didn't she answer the phone?" "Natalie askedto pick up." "Oh." There was an imperceptible trace of disappointment in his voice.
"By the way, Daddy, did you do something to make Natalie mad?" Hayden blinked his eyes and asked.
There was a hint of tension in his voice. "What's Oil wrong? "Natalie said that you've gotten old so you've beca little weird." Tobias was speechless.
"Have fun. I'm hanging up." His voice suddenly beccold.
Chills ran down Hayden's spine.
Benjamin felt that Tobias was becoming increasingly strange.
For example, when he went to pass conference materials to Tobias in the afternoon, Tobias suddenly stopped him.
He asked an even more unbelievable question than the one about the roses.
