Everyone was stunned.
On the other side, Peter strolled in with a leisured, relaxed look. He glanced at Remington and then Tobias, and then he sighed heavily.
Selina's heart shot up at once.
Was Peter going to say something? That would be so embarrassing.
She heard Peter said slowly, "Remington, you've found yourself a wife, but you have to consider Tobias' feelings. At his age, he has no woman around to warm his bed. How lonely he must be. You and Natalie should restrain yourselves. Don't make it difficult for your brother. You should still sleep in separate rooms to avoid Tobias being jealous, don't you think?" Remington squinted his eyes as he smiled, hiding the deep glow in them.
After a while, he looked at Natalie and asked, "Natalie, what do you think?" His tone was relaxed as if he was asking whether you were hungry.
Natalie's breathing paused for a moment.
She had wanted to make Tobias uncomfortable, but she didn't expect to cause this much trouble to so many people, which was never her intention. She simply wanted to make it more difficult for Tobias, yet her fire scalded others.
"I'll go sleep in the other room." Natalie said.
The quarrel just now was only trying to provoke Tobias. It was really unnecessary now that Natalie thought about it.
Hearing this, Peter nodded. "Remington, Tobias is already 30, but he doesn't even have a woman around him now. Don't make him madder than he is." A meaningful gleam flashed in Remington's eyes when he glanced at Peter.
The storm finally ended.
Peter told her grandaughter to go to bed." Selina, go get srest." She looked at Tobias with hesitation.
Peter noticed this, and his face immediately darkened. "Sleeping late is not good for your skin. If you have bad skin, you'll end up like a leftover nun!" Selina had no words at that.
She stared at Peter speechlessly. "Grandpa, can we not talk about leftovers all day long?" "Then why don't you go to bed?" Peter replied, urging. After a tiny stomp of her feet, Selina went to bed obediently.

Peter had Watson, the butler to pour a glass of water for Tobias.
Tobias gulped it down, and the water was cold.
It seemed to have just taken it out of the refrigerator, which chilled his heart to the bone.
Peter looked at Tobias in a pensive manner. "Tobias, you are very indolent right now. You need to drink something cold." Search the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Tobias put down his cup. "Grandpa, I'm sorry.
I was too impulsive just now." "You've always been calm and collected, and rarely acted so impulsively. At least I've never seen you like this." Peter stared at Tobias as he spoke.
Tobias replied with a wry smile.
Yes, he had always been calm.
Yet why couldn't he calm down every the saw Natalie? His body was like a fire burning from the inside, and burning more and more to the extent he felt uncomfortable and hard.
"Have you calmed down now?" Peter asked again.
"I'm much better," Tobias said.
Peter nodded.
He didn't say a word, neither did Tobias.
All of a sudden, the gigantic main hall fell into a dead silence.
"The girl named Natalie should be sleeping in the other bedroom by now." After a while, Peter broke the silence first.
Tobias did not reply.
"Tobias, both of you are my grandchildren. What do you think I should do?" Peter sighed suddenly. "You two don't have a good relationship at all. Why do you have such stastes? Both are my flesh and bone. What do you wantto do?" Tobias cast a glance at Peter.
The older, the wiser. He hadn't expected Peter to be able to see through them.
"Tobias, tellwhat should I do?" The old man threw the question to Tobias.
An erratic glint flashed across the depths of Tobias's eyes. "Grandpa, it's impossible between her and me." "It's impossible? Then why didn't you give the chance to Remington?" Peter arched his brows.
At the mention of Remington, Tobias's expression darkened. "How can I share a woman?" "Why can't you give Natalie to him then, if you two are impossible?" Peter retorted nonchalantly. Tobias's breathing stopped for a moment.
Peter looked straight at Tobias and said, "Tobias, when did you becso stupid? You really lose your head over lust!" A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. "I never thought I would say this about you one day. You are the most talented man in the history of the Whitlock family, and my proudest grandson. But look at what you just did. Is it worth being so delirious over a woman?" "It is." Only two words cout of Tobias's mouth.
Peter slapped the table in front of him, a little heated. "If it's worth it, then get her back. I don't want to help either of you. You'll have to play it fair with Remington." A bitter smile tugged on Tobias's face. "Peter, I can't get her back. I don't have the right to do that!" How could he compete fairly with Remington? How could he take Natalie away from Remington? Peter kept silent.
Then he stood up and put his hand on Tobias's forehead. "You don't have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?" He looked Tobias up and down and said, "Am I old and dizzy? It's not like my grandson at all. Am I dreaming?" Tobias's breathing cto a short halt.
After a while, he called for Watson.
"Watson, let Grandpa get srest." "Yes, my lord," Watson's face was still expressionless like usual, his voice stiff as a robot's.
"Rest well, grandpa," Tobias said to Peter.
Peter patted his own head. "It's true. I really do need a good rest." Natalie was lying on a large, soft bed, with a magnificent crystal lamp overhead.
She was having strouble falling asleep.
Thinking of what had just happened, she let out an exasperated sigh.
She had just crossed her own line back then. In fact, she didn't have to do that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt really wasn't necessary.
She could totally ignore Tobias like thin air.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
The knock was very soft and barely audible.
Natalie was a little stunned.
After a while, she got up and opened the door.
There was a servant at the door pushing a small dining cart. There! was a glass of milk and a loaf of bread on the cart.
"Ms. Godfrey, this is a special order from Mr. Remington. He says you might not be sleep well tonight, and the milk will help you to sleep better. Mr. Remington also said that you had not eaten much for dinner, so here is sbread." Natalie felt surprised.
She didn't expect Remington to be so gentle and considerate.
"Thank you," Natalie took the milk and bread gratefully.
She gulped down the glass of milk in one go.
The bread was quite big a slice, so Natalie took a few bites and put it down.
She was not in the mood to eat.
Natalie thought that she would talk to Remington tomorrow. Anyway, she had also met Peter. If there was nothing else, she would return to Agaphen City. The thought of being in the shouse as Tobias made her uncomfortable.
