Tobias' father wasn't present. He wasn't in the country, and because his health wasn't too good, they'd kept Tobias' accident from him.
After Tobias' recovery, Cecilia had accepted Natalie again, but Peter hadn't.
He was still extremely prejudiced against Natalie.
When he saw the way Natalie and Tobias' hands were clasped together, it annoyed him to no end.
He firmly believed that Natalie was a menace. Though Tobias was fine now, there was no guaranteeing that there wouldn't be a similar incident in the future. Therefore, he invited Yuna to attend their family dinner as well.
Yuna was dressed in a white dress. She looked elegant and pretty, just like a typical daughter of a rich family. Peter's solemn expression immediately lit up as soon as he saw Yuna.
He warmly greeted her and invited her to sit beside him. "Yuna, csit by me! I left this seat for you." Yuna flashed a practiced smile. "Thank you, Grandpa Peter." On the other hand, Natalie's eyelashes fluttered a little.
She knew a little about Yuna's background.
Peter liked Yuna very much, and he was trying his best to matchmake her and Tobias.
Though Natalie knew that Tobias had no feelings for Yuna, she felt a little uncomfortable at the fact that she was invited to a family gathering.
Just when she was lost in her thoughts, Tobias suddenly turned to look at her.
She could feel his deep gaze boring into her soul.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions as if conveying thousands of words at once.
It was obvious that he only had eyes for her.
When they locked eyes, Natalie suddenly felt secure and solid, as if he was her anchor.
Like magic, her unsettled heart quickly calmed when she met Tobias' gaze.
What was she thinking? Whether Peter liked Yuna or not, and whether he'd invited Yuna to their family gathering or not, had nothing to do with Natalie.
Tobias only had eyes for her, and that was all she wanted. She didn't need to bother about anything else.
Natalie flashed an appreciative smile at Tobias.
A smile formed on Tobias' lips as well.
As soon as the dishes were served, Tobias piled Natalie's plate with food. His gentle, tender actions were evident to everyone present.
Of course, Peter felt even more displeased as he watched Tobias.
He snorted. "Speople are really shameless, coming to a family gathering uninvited. I wonder what they mean by it." Selina quickly said, "Grandpa, you're absolutely right. This is a gathering for us Whitlocks, for the Whitlock family members and the daughter-in-law of the Whitlock family. Why is there an outsider here?" Selina had deliberately twisted Peter's words, her gaze falling on Yuna.
At that, Yuna's face suddenly changed.
She was used to everyone fawning on her at the first opportunity, and she had never been insulted in such a manner.
However, reminding herself that there were many people present at the dinner, she suppressed her anger and quickly put on a smile.
Peter glared at Selina. "Selina! Do you really not know what I mean?" Selina pretended to be confused. "Isn't that what you mean, Grandpa? What else could it mean?" Peter was as mad as a bull, but he had no way to vent his anger.
He huffed loudly, then said, "Speople caused Tobias to get into such a huge accident and was even comatose for so long. Yet they're still shameless enough to turn up here. I really don't know what to say..." Tobias suddenly put down his utensils.
He looked at Peter directly and said, "Grandpa, I hope that you'll stop bringing this matter up, now that it's passed. I was the one who insisted on going, and it has nothing to do with Natalie. If you want to blsomeone, it should be me, not Natalie." Peter stared at him in shock.
Cecilia tried to relieve the tension. "Peter, it's all in the past. Let's not mention it again. See, isn't Tobias in good health now?" Peter could feel his blood pressure skyrocketing when he heard that.
Tobias was indeed in good health now, but he was still as stubborn as a mule. He went against Peter's wishes to be with Natalie, which vexed him to no end.
"Fine, fine, fine, I won't bring it up anymore," He huffed, then glared at Natalie. "Since this is our family gathering, what is this woman doing here?!" This time, Peter did not attempt to hide his displeasure.
Tobias' expression was neutral. "Since this is the Whitlock family's family dinner, don't you think the granddaughter-in-law should be present, Grandpa?" Tobias's words were like a huge slap to Peter's face.
Peter's face reddened in rage. "I will never recognise her as my granddaughter-in-law!" "It's fine as long as I do," Tobias said bluntly.
Peter's eyes widened.
"The only granddaughter-in-law I acknowledge is Yuna!" "Grandpa, it is your grandson who is going to get married, not you." Peter was speechless.
Just then, Yuna suddenly added gently, "Please stop arguing, you two."
She paused, then looked at Tobias pitifully, "Tobias, I chere because of Grandpa Peter. He seesas his own granddaughter, which is why he invited me. There's no other reason, so I hope you won't misunderstand." Tobias averted his gaze and continued to pile Natalie's plate with food.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelina felt goosebumps rising all over her body.
Yuna was a wonderful actress! Her weak and fragile appearance made her look so pitiful. It was a good thing that Tobias was strong enough not to be seduced by her.
However, Selina knew that Yuna was definitely not a good person.
When she'd mocked Yuna earlier, she'd clearly seen the malice in her eyes.
However, she was pretending to be the weak one.
No proper woman would be able to act like this.
"Natalie, you're still weak. Have ssoup." Tobias got her a bowl of soup.
Natalie accepted it with a smile.
Yuna felt extremely awkward.
On the other hand, Peter was all worked up. s'a 'h the Findt website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. He couldn't believe that Tobias would dare turn a blind eye to Yuna.
He slammed the table in a fit of anger. "Tobias Whitlock!" Tobias looked at him. "Grandpa?" Peter snorted. "Tobias, I didn't expect you to be so heartless!" Tobias' breath hitched.
Peter said coldly, "Tobias, while you were still buried underwater, Yuna was the one who toldthat you were still alive. When we didn't have the tto look for the controls to open that container you were in Yuna was the one who found a way to open it. Yet, this is the way you're treating your saviour?" Peter was trying to give all the credit to Yuna.
Natalie's eyelashes fluttered slightly when she heard that.
She hadn't expected Yuna to have contributed so much to saving Tobias.
