Natalie's eyes were glistening.
Sometimes, life was really full of mysteries.
Just like how she hadn't expected everything else to happen when Tobias was having breakfast here the other day.
Just like that, she and Tobias had inexplicably reconciled.
However, the truth was that they had wanted to reconcile anyway.
They just lacked the right opportunity.
They hadn't cacross it for such a long time, yet it had just happened on the plane.
Natalie's smile deepened.
Just as she brought her bread and coffee to the table, James chome.
He was surprised when he saw Natalie. "Natalie, you're back." When Natalie went to the United States to get her certificate, she knew that she would not be able to cback in a single day, so she had informed James earlier. Natalie nodded. "Yes, and I've gotten everything straightened out. Have you eaten, Dad?" James nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie smiled. "Since I've gotten my degree certificate, I can get a better job with a higher salary." Her gaze swept over James' worn-out clothes. "And I can buy you better clothes in the future." Search The (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
James was moved by her words.
Although Natalie was not his biological daughter, James knew very well that Brayden and Queenie could not compare to her. She was the one who treated him the best. James nodded. "That's good to hear, Natalie. Things will only get better from here." Natalie's smile deepened.
That's right, things would only get better.
Everyone's lives would improve.
Tobias returned to the villa.
Cecilia was watering the plants. She put the watering can down when she saw Tobias.
"Tobias, why have you only chnow? Have things been really hectic at the company?" Cecilia asked.
"I went to the United States," Tobias said.
"Why did you go there?" A light flashed in Tobias' eyes. "Mother, I accompanied Natalie there to get her degree certificate reissued." Cecilia's eyes lit up when she heard what Tobias said.
Natalie had allowed Tobias to accompany her to the United States to re-apply for her certificate. Did this mean that she had wavered? Otherwise, why would she let Tobias accompany her? "Tobias, has... has Natalie accepted you?" Cecilia's words were full of joy and disbelief.
Tobias' eyes were deep and serene. "She probably will soon enough." Cecilia was a little excited. "That's good. It's best if Natalie can accept you." Tobias suddenly thought of Peter's phone call.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
This startled Cecilia.
"What's wrong, Tobias? Is there something else going on with Natalie?" she asked nervously.
Tobias shook his head. "It's not Natalie." "Then what happened?" Cecilia's heart was in her throat.
"Mother, Grandpa seems to be against Natalie and is very opposed to her being with me," Tobias said in a low voice.
Cecilia's breathing hitched.
After a while, she said, "I'll go talk to him." "Mother, this is my business. I'll talk to him." Cecilia's attitude was firm. "If you were to talk to him, he would think that you're just confused, but I'm different. Lethave a try." A flash of deep thought flashed across Tobias' eyes.
Cecilia's words made sense. Right then, Peter firmly believed that he was blinded by lust.
Maybe it would be much better if Cecilia was the one to speak to him.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mother," Tobias said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCecilia waved her hand and said, "It's no trouble at all. What's more..." She suppressed what she was going to say. What's more, if it weren't for her, Tobias and Natalie would have been fine. There would not have been so much trouble. However, there was no meaning in bringing up the past again. Now, the most important thing was that Tobias and Natalie could live a good life in the future.
Cecilia dialed Peter's number.
She briefly explained over the phone that Tobias planned to be with Natalie. She told him that Natalie was a good girl and that she approvechof her very much. on Peter-only spoke after ashort moment of silence. "Cecilia, not only has that girl managed to enthral Tobias, she's managed to confuse you as well! It looks like she has a few tricks up her sleeve indeed!" "Natalie is not what you think. She is a very simple girl." Cecilia defended Natalie.
"Simple?" Peter's tone carried a hint of mockery. "If she were simple, would she have gotten involved with O Remington and caused him to nearly lose his life? Would she have caused Remington and Tobias to fight over her? It's not like she's the only woman in the world. How could she do this unless she was out of the ordinary?" When Peter mentioned Remington, Cecilia started to feel a headache coming on.
God knew what had happened to Remington. Why had a playboy like him fallen for Natalie and caused Peter to misunderstand Natalie so badly? "It's not what you think. Natalie never had any affection for Remington, and she didn't make the two of them fight over her. A person's heart can't be controlled, and Natalie can't help the fact that Remington likes her," Cecilia said.
It would have been okay if she had not said anything. Now that she had said this, Peter was even more agitated.
"She can't help it?" Peter said agitatedly. "If she couldn't help it, why did she cto the Whitlock family with Remington as his fianmily did she stay with him at the hospital? From what I see, she's just playing around with the two of them! How can I be fooled so easily when I've seen so many women throughout my lifetime?" Cecilia's head ached even more.
These matters were complicated. How could she explain them to Peter? It was hard to explain in such a short time.
She could only say, "I know the real story behind these things, and it's definitely not what you think. Natalie is really a good girl, otherwise, I would not be able to accept her." "A good girl?" Peter harrumphed heavily. "I think you've also been bewitched. Cecilia, if you're really Tobias' mother, then get Tobias to break up with that woman. Yuna is an actual good girl. Tobias and Yuna being together is the right choice." Cecilia was helpless.
She would've thought that Peter would've grasped the situation when he'd brought Yuna here with him before.
Tobias had no interest in Yuna at all.
But now, Peter was still being so stubborn and fantasising about Tobias and Yuna getting together.
"Tobias isn't interested in Yuna. I can't control this either." X
