At the stime, Tobias stepped on the gas.
Natalie then fell silent.
Her thick and long eyelashes fluttered shut as they covered her eyes.
As the car sped, it splashed rainwater all over the ground.
Likely because of the man next to her, Natalie was not as nervous as she would be if she was in the car with Tobias alone.
She fixed her gaze on the view outside the window.
Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Soon, they arrived at Natalie's apartment.
Tobias stopped his car right before her building.
Natalie opened the car door and got off.
Tobias had his hands on the steering wheel, his thin lips tightly pursed.
"Tobias, if you have something you want to say, just go ahead and say it. I have a lot of time. I'll wait for you here." Matthew's warm voice suddenly rang out from the backseat. Tobias took a deep breath.
He immediately opened the car door and chased after Natalie.
"Natalie." Tobias called out her name.
Natalie hesitated for a while, then quickened her pace.
Tobias rushed to stop her.
He placed one hand on the wall, and enclosed Natalie in his embrace.
Although there was no bodily contact between the two of them, this position was inexplicably ambiguous...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie lowered her head and asked, "Is there a problem?" Tobias' gaze fell on Natalie's face, and his heart throbbed in pain.
After not seeing each other for half a month, Natalie seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her chin was beyond pronounced.
"Natalie, so this is how Remington treats you," Tobias remarked sadly. "He allows you to go work in a place like that, and he even lets you get off work in the rain. Natalie, tell me, is this the choice that you've made?" If Natalie were with him, he would spoil her beyond belief, and give her the best life possible.
Yet this was the life that she was living now? Upon hearing Tobias' words, Natalie could not help but look up in astonishment.
A hint of incredulity flashed across her eyes.
What was Tobias talking about? Did he really think that she had gotten with Remington? Natalie suddenly smirked, and felt that it was a little ironic.
Tobias really did not understand her at all.
Even if she was not with Tobias, it was impossible for her to be with Remington.
Natalie had no intention of explaining it to Tobias, because there was simply no need to do so.
"It's none of your business." Natalie looked at him. "Whether I'm living well or not has nothing to do with you." Tobias's breathing stopped for a moment.
There was a hint of sourness in his tone. "Natalie, you're Hayden's mother. How could I not care about you?" Natalie lowered her head and replied, "There's no need to. What's the point of caring aboutwhen you already have a beautiful woman next to you, Mr. Whitlock?" Even Natalie didn't notice the jealousy that was evident in her words.
Just as Tobias fell into a daze, Natalie had already rushed up to open the door and slammed it closed heavily.
Tobias stayed in the corridor for a while before finally leaving.
"You're back?" Matthew looked at Tobias.
Tobias hummed in acknowledgement. His expression was solemn.
"Do you like her?" Tobias remained silent.
"What happened with her?" Matthew pressed on.
Tobias rubbed the sore spot between his eyebrows and responded, "No more questions. I'll send you home." Matthew fell silent at the right time.
The next day, Natalie met James.
James had found out where Natalie was. When Natalie opened the door, she saw him. She was completely stunned.
Following which, endless bitterness filled her heart.
They had not met in a long time, and James appeared much older.
His head of black hair had turned completely white.
Natalie hurriedly invited him inside.
Because of Madison, Natalie had deliberately not gone to see James.
She knew that James prioritized his family, and Madison being placed under house arrest had something to do with her. She was much too ashamed to face James.
She had not expected that he would cto see her.
Natalie poured him a glass of warm water.
James' hand, which was holding the cup, trembled slightly as he started, "Natalie, Madison is gone, so are Brayden and Queenie. How could a perfectly good family disappear just like that?" Natalie's heart ached.
Her voice was a little choked up. "Dad, don't think so much. You still have me." Search the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"Yes, I still have you." The tiredness on James' face was evident. "Why haven't you cto see me, Natalie? I've been looking for you everywhere, and I've missed you so." When she heard James' words, Natalie was about to cry.
She felt sorry for him.
Natalie cforward and hugged him. "Dad, now that you've found me, you can ctoin the future. As long as we have each other, our family is still there. It's not gone." James' body was trembling quite a bit.
"Dad, don't be sad anymore," Natalie said as she took a deep breath.
She could not plead for Madison at all, nor would she plead for Brayden and Queenie. All she could do for James, was to take care of him well, Was and to let him peacefully live out the rest of his days. As James looked at Natalie, and his eyes were a little cloudy. "Natalie, do you know where Madison, Brayden, and Queenie have gone?" His turbid eyes were filled with hope.
Natalie's felt as if her heart had been torn apart by something, and she was in great pain.
She steeled herself. "I don't know." James lowered his gaze in disappointment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter that, Natalie made him lunch.
During the meal, James' hands were shaking as he held the utensils.
"Natalie, thank goodness you're still here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have En known what to do by myself. Luckily, you're still here." Upon hearing James' words, Natalie felt even worse. She sorted out a room for James.
Although this apartment was small, it still had two bedrooms.
Yvonne was essentially no longer living here. Thinking of that, Natalie decided to let James stay in the other bedroom.
She asked James to stay here, and he immediately agreed.
"It's a good idea to live here. There's nobody in that house anymore anyway, and it's all empty," James mumbled.
James' current appearance and way of talking showed his old age, which made Natalie very sad.
After a bit, she told James to rest first, then gave Yvonne a call.
When Yvonne heard that Natalie let James stay there, she agreed in a heartbeat.
"That's fine, I'm not going to live there anyway. This is great, you can let your father live there." "Thank you, Yvonne."
"What's there to thankfor? I'm not at ease letting you live there alone, either. It's good if there's someone who can take care of you," Yvonne replied. After chatting with Natalie for a while, Yvonne hung up the phone.
Then, she entered Jenkins' villa.
Since Jenkins had not returned, Yvonne looked around the villa as she was bored.
She would not have done this in the past.
Every tshe entered Jenkins' villa, she had a clear purpose. It was to satisfy Jenkins' desire.
However, Jenkins seemed to have been treating her better recently.
Just several nights ago, he had even personally cooked supper for Yvonne.
