No wonder Tobias, the man he had known for so many years and has always been strong suddenly had a vulnerable side. No one would be able to accept such a thing.
What's more, it was already fortunate that he wasn't driven insane by his own demons.
It was just that...
Confusion flashed across Simon's eyes.
He worked as a psychologist for years and understood something very well.
The observer will forever be the most clearheaded.
No matter how high their IQ was, people would make such stupid mistakes if caught in the situation. When you get sucked in, many simple things would look impervious and make you sink like quicksand. For example, Natalie...
Simon had met both Cecilia and Natalie.
He was shocked by Cecilia's gorgeous appearance, which Tobias inherited with his handslooks.
And as for Natalie...
Although she was nice and lovely, she was nothing compared to that level of stunning beauty.
Or could it be she that looked like her father? However, the angel-like Cecilia once fell so deep in love with a man in the past. Presumably, that man would be extremely good-looking and charming too. As he was deep in thought, Tobias opened his eyes slowly.
It was as if he had taken a big nap, and the exhaustion that had been hovering over his body all this tdissipated a considerable amount.
Looking at Simon's face, Tobias uttered with a bitter smile, "You already know." He was carrying such a huge burden of mental pressure, and now he finally released it for once.
"Tobias," Simon scratched his head. "I really didn't expect you to cacross such a thing. No wonder you suddenly broke up with Miss Godfrey. It's really ridiculous." The smile on Tobias's face beceven more ironic. "The god makes fools out of us." "Why didn't you tellearlier? I can help you, you know, I am a psychological expert." Tobias was silent for a moment. "Simon, how could I speak of things like this?" Simon pushed the glasses on his nose. "Tobias, do you mind if I ask you about something?" "Since I've told you my secret, I don't mind at all." "Okay," Simon said, a glint of light flashing across his eyes. "Have your mother and Miss Godfrey done any DNA test?" "No, they haven't." Simon was extremely surprised. "You were convinced just based on what Miss Godfrey's adoptive mother said?" SEAR*ch the FindNøvelWebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"And my mother too, she admitted." Simon was even more shocked, his jaw dropping silently to the floor.
He knew that Tobias has a terrifyingly high IQ, and he was always calm when dealing with things.
He was wholly convinced by the story of Natalie's adoptive mother and Cecilia and didn't even ask them to take a paternity test.
"What about your mother? Did she do it?" "I don't know." Simon pondered for a moment.
No, there shouldn't be any.
Those who were involved were confused whereas the bystanders were clear.
He seemed to have found the problem.
He stared into Tobias' eyes and asked seriously. "Tobias, I don't think your mother did the test either. Is it because you are all afraid? A fear coming from inside of you?" Tobias's breathing suddenly hitched.
Simon continued, "Because you're afraid, you thought this to be true too, or were you too scared to even do a paternity test?" Tobias and Cecilia's mental psyche was what drove them to use escapism as a coping mechanism.
Tobias looked at Simon quietly. He then spoke, "Simon, what do you mean?" Simon averted his gaze to somewhere else.
He realized that staring at Tobias in a questioning tone would make him even more nervous.
So Simon relaxed his tone and explained, "Tobias, I don't know how it is, but I have met Miss Godfrey and your mother. To be honest, Miss Godfrey didn't inherit your mother's beautiful looks, and she looks nothing like your mother." Tobias's entire body was stunned.
He stared at Simon, his eyes widening.
Tseemed to have stood still.
They could even clearly hear each other's breathing.
"Tobias, let's do a DNA test. The stories can't prove anything." Simon finally broke the silence.
Tobias's breathing becheavy.
Simon placed his hand on Tobias's shoulder. "Relax, my friend. I know that you're afraid, but you've experienced something even worse. What's there to be afraid of? What if it's fake? Have you ever thought about it?" "How could it be fake?" Tobias frowned subconsciously.
"What if? What if it is? Think about it carefully," Simon urged, in a tone that was close to temptation.
Natalie was sitting alone in the hall.
She was waiting for Tobias to return.
She didn't turn on the lights in case someone saw her, and the whole room was pitch black. Everyone had gone back to their bedrooms, and Natalie was the only one lurking in the dark.
For the whole evening, her brain was in turmoil, tangling and untangling.
The more she paced and thought about it, the deeper her doubts grew.
She felt that things were not that simple.
Pacing around, she walked in the wrong direction due to her excessive excitement.
Suddenly, the sound of another set of footsteps could be heard.
The footsteps were steady, but there seemed to be a deep fatigue in them.
Natalie's heart was in her mouth.
When the footsteps cover, she called out, "Tobias." Her voice sounded particularly eerie in the night.
The man stopped and looked in Natalie's direction. Natalie stood up.
"I have something to ask you. Cwith me." She walked out of the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man hesitated for a moment but followed behind her in the end.
In the garden at night, the entire estate was particularly luminous and luxurious with the lights.
"Your son. What's going on with him? Lucy isn't his biological mother?m Natalie stared at Tobias's eyes and asked directly. Tobias's gaze fell on Natalie's face. He didn't seem to have heard Natalie's words.
He was still staring at her, his eyes in silent scrutinization.
Simon's words earlier echoed in his mind.
Simon said that Natalie did not look like Cecilia at all.
He examined Natalie. Indeed, there fhethatm was not a single part resembled Cecilia's facial features.
But back then, why was so insistent to not even go for the basic paternity test? Tobias felt a faint pain in his head.
He did not answer. He just stared at Natalie as if he had lost his soulm which irritated Natalie, who was waiting anxiously for his reply. "Tobias!" She suddenly raised her voice. "I'm asking you!" He didn't seem to realize what she meant until Natalie yelled his name.
He looked at Natalie and asked, "What are you asking?" Natalie, "What's up with your son? Who's the one who gave birth to him? Not Lucy?" Tobias's breathing stopped for a moment.
After a while, he looked away. "It's late, Natalie. Goto sleep." Natalie's blood started to boil.
Tobias dodging her question again! "My son!" Natalie took a deep breath. "My son is not dead, is he?" Tobias turned around to leave.
Desperate, Natalie grabbed Tobias' clothes in a hurry.
Tobias turned around and looked at her.
Under the moonlight, Tobias' eyes were exceptionally charming.
"Natalie, I'm a bit confused now. There are sthings that I need to figure out first, alright?" X
