"My best friend, Natalie. She remindsof my most innocent memories in university," the caption stated. Then Yvonne slapped her forehead.
Oh no. She almost forgot about Natalie.
Last night, Tobias called and asked about Natalie's whereabouts, yet she had not contacted Natalie yet.
Yvonne had no tto fuss over her Facebook posts anymore. She immediately rang Natalie up.
The phone beeped for a while before it got answered.
"Where are you, Natalie?" Yvonne asked at once.
"At the hospital." Natalie sounded rather dispirited.
Yvonne jumped. "What happened to you? Which hospital are you in? I'll be right there." Penney overheard their conversation, and she was equally shocked.
The filming set was too noisy, so Yvonne had switched the call to hands-free mode, which was why Penney could hear their exchange clearly. Penney knew that Yvonne cared about Natalie intensely. She was afraid that Yvonne would really abandon her film shoot and rush to the hospital. Quickly, she shot Yvonne a glance.
Yvonne pretended that she didn't see it.
"It's not me. I'm fine. You don't have to come," Natalie explained.
Yvonne let out a sigh of relief.
Thank God Natalie was okay, she thought to herself.
Penney's worried expressions also disappeared as she heard Natalie's reply.
"Mr. Whitlock calledlast night. He asked if I was with you. Are you alright?" Yvonne asked again.
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"I'm fine," Natalie replied after a long pause.
She sounded tired and anxious. Yvonne could tell something was not right.
"Are you really okay? How about I go see you?" Yvonne asked.
Natalie refused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You don't have to. Tobias is here with me. I'm fine, really. Please don't worry." Since Tobias was already there with her, Yvonne thought that she had better not go.
"Alright. Callif you need anything, okay?" Yvonne reminded her.
"All right." Natalie's head hung low as she stared at her shoes.
She didn't dare to look at Tobias.
His tall figure loomed as he stood solemnly in front of her.
"Please, Natalie. Chwith me," Tobias pleaded again.
He knitted his eyebrows and pursed his lips, obviously impatient.
However, his tone was as gentle as ever when he spoke to Natalie.
Natalie shook her head. "I'm not going back." Tobias flicked his gaze towards the emergency room.
He didn't know who was lying inside, and he would never have guessed that it was Remington.
He thought the person inside was one of Natalie's friends.
"Is that your friend? I'll send someone to take care of her. Please chwith me. You have been staying here all night, and you need rest." Natalie shook her head stubbornly.
Tobias squatted down to hold her hand.
Natalie's lashes fluttered a little.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand from his.
A pained expression flashed across Tobias's face.
"If you don't lethold you, then I'll take you hin my arms." He started putting his arms around her.
"No!" Natalie shoved his hands away, her face a little pale.
However, her tone was firm.
Tobias's eyes flashed in confusion.
What did he do wrong? Natalie's attitude towards him was definitely not because she was upset about her friend's accident. She was resistive of him.
He pondered over this for a while, then bent over and whispered gently, "Was I too rough last night? I promise I will control myself next time. Be good, please? Please chwithand rest." Indeed, he had kept her occupied the entire night.
Natalie's face turned even paler.
She felt a sharp stab in her heart when she thought of the night before.
"Mr. Whitlock." She glanced up at Tobias.
It was tfor her to make a decision.
"Why are you still callingMr. Whitlock?" Tobias raised his voice.
"Yes, I am calling you Mr. Whitlock." Her gaze was full of determination. "And I am breaking up with you." Tobias flinched as he stared at her in disbelief.
Break up? They just had their first night together twenty-four hours ago.
"Natalie, what are you talking about?" Tobias couldn't believe his ears.
"I am breaking up with you," Natalie repeated.
"Do you even know what you're talking about?" "I know," she enunciated the words one by one, emphasizing her decision.
Their relationship ended as soon as it began.
Perhaps this was fate.
Whatever will be, will be.
Tobias's thin lips were tightly pursed into a thin line, showing his displeasure.
"Givea reason, Natalie," he growled.
He wanted to know what exactly was she thinking SeaR*ch the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
about.
Natalie sunk her teeth into her lower lip.
She wanted to tell him, but she didn't know how to.
It would be ridiculous if she told him she wanted to break up with him because it was not her first time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could she bring herself to say that? Besides, there were other reasons.
Like Remington.
She wasn't sure if she had dated Remington in the past and if he had been the first person she slept with.
Although her suspicions were still unconfirmed, it would be unfair to Remington if she turned to another man's arms because of her amnesia. Besides, he was still lying in the emergency room with his life at stake. How could she still be with Tobias at such a difficult moment? "We are not meant for each other, Mr. Whitlock," she replied ambiguously.
"If you think that we are not meant for each other, you wouldn't have acceptedlast night," his tone sounded even heavier.
A night ago, she had trusted him enough to sleep with him. It wasn obvious that even though she had lost her memory, she still loved him and was determined to be with him. Natalie was at a loss for words.
If she had known all of this earlier, she would never have done something that she cto regret so deeply. It was a huge mistake.
"It was indeed because of last night that I realized that we are not meant for each other," she uttered through clenched teeth.
Tobias's eyes widened in shock.
Natalie knew exactly how to hurt his pride.
She wanted to drive him away and leave her alone.
"I don't want to be with you because I am not satisfied with your performance, Mr. Whitlock," Natalie replied, faking an indifferent expression.
The man's jaw dropped. This was the first the looked so dumbstruck.
"You're already in your thirties, after all. Your stamina could never compare 'om can't someone younger. You can't satisfy a young woman like me," Natalie lied. In fact, he was up for almost the entire night when they went at it. His stamina was extraordinary.
A deep frown creased Tobias's brows.
Even though he had a good temper, Natalie's words had angered him.
"Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure." She lowered her head to hide the pain in her eyes.
"Natalie Godfrey!" Tobias snarled, "You're crossing the line." Natalie's heart was hurting so much that she nearly passed out from the pain, but she still had to pretend that she didn't care.
"You may leave if you don't like hearing the truth." "You -" Tobias seethed. He was very clearly holding himself back.
