At that moment, she was at a loss for words.
No wonder Tobias brought up Remington's njust now. How did he find out that she was with Remington? Natalie licked her dry lips and tried to explain, "I was with him because we..." She wanted to tell him that it was because they had gotten into a car accident, and in the midst of the chaos, she had forgotten about his birthday. However, Tobias cut her off before she could explain things to him.
"Something is going on between you and Remington, right? Have you two done it already?" Tobias stared at her with a deadly gaze. His fists were clamped so tightly that the veins were popping out under his skin.
Tobias was overwhelmed by the rage and fury bubbling inside him.
He had completely lost all sense of rationality.
