A trace of panic rose in Natalie's heart.
She thought that perhaps it'd be better to just give up and stop dancing.
It would be better than falling down on stage.
Just as Natalie was about to stop, someone started clapping.
Natalie and Yuna were both taken aback.
Yuna slowed down her pace subconsciously, giving Natalie tto breathe.
They looked at the course of the applause.
Tobias was clapping.
He stood there, standing out from the rest of the crowd.
Although there were many people offstage, Tobias was the most conspicuous person. His handsappearance and imposing aura turned everyone else into part of the backdrop.
His gaze was focused on Natalie, and his lips were turned up in a smile.
He was looking at her and clapping for her, cheering her on.
Natalie was momentarily dazed.
In that instant, she suddenly felt like everything else had ceased to exist.
Both Yuna and the crowd disappeared.
Only she and Tobias were present.
She was dancing, and Tobias was cheering her on appreciatively.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie's anxious heart instantly calmed down.
She was no longer disturbed by the fast-paced music, and Yuna's quick steps no longer bothered her as well.
She was dancing for Tobias, and Tobias alone.
She was dancing for the man who only had eyes for her, for his applause.
The music grew faster and more intense.
On stage, Natalie's steps becmore and more practised and elegant, and her white gown made her shine.
Her jet- black hair had spilled out over her shoulders while she was dancing, making a stark contrast against her fair skin.
The audience was blown away.
Natalie had suddenly transformed. She'd been struggling to keep up earlier.
Yet in this moment, she was filled with confidence, and she was in control of the stage. Her dancing was filled with soul and spirit, and she drew everyone's gaze.
On the contrary, Yuna, who'd had the upper hand all this while, was evidently starting to lose out.
Yuna's eyes were a little panicked.
What happened to Natalie? How did she suddenly transform into a different person? The more elegantly Natalie danced, the more panicked Yuna became, and she almost stepped on her own feet a few times.
At the stime, two tall men entered the hall.
One was older and the other was young, but they were both handswith outstanding temperaments.
When they saw the two people dancing on stage, Rudopth Whitlock averted his gaze to search for Cecilia. Meanwhile, a hint of astonishment and surprise flashed in Remington's eyes.
He recognized the person on stage to be Natalie.
He had never seen Natalie like this.
Her beauty was so striking, and she looked like an angel on stage.
Her steps were so elegant and beautiful, as if she had the entire stage in the palm of her hands.
Something seemed to strike Remington's heart.
The music finally stopped, and there was a thunderous applause.
In the final part, Natalie danced impeccably. She had becone with the stage, like she was born to be there.
Even Peter's frown eventually relaxed.
He casually said to Cecilia, "I didn't expect Natalie to dance so well." Cecilia also smiled.
Suddenly, she felt someone's eyes on her.
Cecilia subconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze and saw Rudopth striding towards her.
Her smile grew wider. "Peter, look who's here." Peter followed Cecilia's gaze and saw that his son was back.
Yuna walked off the stage in embarrassment.
Ruby asked indignantly, "Yuna, what happened? How could that Natalie dance so well? She stole the limelight from you!" There was a flash of hatred in Yuna's eyes. "I don't know." Ruby felt penny-wise, but pound-foolish.
She had originally wanted Natalie to be humiliated and for her own daughter to be in the spotlight.
However, they'd inadvertently helped Natalie out, and Natalie was the one in the limelight.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she felt.
Both Ruby and Yuna's faces were dark. SeaR*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Meanwhile, Natalie walked to Tobias' side.
Tobias looked at her dotingly. "Natalie, you danced very well just now." Natalie was still a little nervous. "I almost couldn't keep up. Luckily, when I saw you, I immediately gained confidence, so..." She tugged at her hair embarrassedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Natalie, did you only feel confident when you saw Daddy? You didn't feel confident when you saw me?" Hayden's childish voice suddenly rang out.
Actually, back when Tobias was clapping for Natalie, Hayden was clapping as well.
It was a pity that Natalie only saw Tobias and did not see Hayden.
Hayden felt seriously neglected.
Natalie smiled and stroked Hayden's head. "Of course not, Hayden. I learned to dance nicely just for and dressed up so you, because you wantedto be more outstanding tonight. Can you understand that, Hayden?" Hayden understood that Natalie still cared for him very much.
He looked at her innocently. "That's good. Natalie, you can't only think! about Daddy and forget all about me." "Of course." Natalie's smile grew wider.
The birthday celebration was ending soon.
Natalie had stuck with Tobias and Hayden from the moment she'd coffstage.
She only found out that Tobias' father and Remington were back when the celebration was ending.
Tobias specially brought Natalie to his father.
He was a handsome, dignified man.
Tobias introduced Natalie to Rudopth, saying, "Father, this is my wife, Natalie Godfrey." Rudopth's gaze fell on Natalie's face.
Natalie was a little nervous. She was thinking about howto address Rudopth.
Tobias had already addressed her as his wife, hence it would be too distant for her to address him as "Uncle".
However, if she were to follow Tobias and abruptly address him as "Father", she felt even more strongly that something was amiss. Just as Natalie was deep in contemplatio, Rudopth had just walked away.
He left..
Natalie was stunned.
She nervously looked at Tobias. "Your father, your father, he doesn't likevery much?" How could a father leave like this when his own son introduced his wife to him? Tobias held Natalie's hand and said, "No, Natalie, that's just how he is. You'll get used to it eventually." Natalie was speechless.
After a while, Cecilia beckoned Natalie over.
