Cecilia's eyes instantly lit up at the mention of Hayden. "Hayden is enjoying every single day here! I was even thinking of letting him start going to kindergarten in the United States, but Natalie definitely wouldn't be able to get used to living here. He'll have to follow the two of you back to Glevania." Cecilia paused for a while and continued, "And your father, too; even though he doesn't say anything outright, I can see that he really adores Hayden as well." "I see," Tobias replied in acknowledgment, but a thought flickered in his mind.
"By the way, how's Natalie?" Cecilia asked.
"She's fine," Tobias answered in a low tone.
"How're your wedding preparations going?" "We're working on it." "Letknow if you need help. I should've cback to help you prepare, but you know that your father is back now, so I have to keep him company." "I understand, Mom." Cecilia suddenly realized that she had talked to Tobias about so many things, but had forgotten about her original purpose of calling him.
"By the way, Tobias, what were you talking about earlier on? Why did you suddenly mention your grandfather?" Tobias' maternal grandfather had passed away a long tago.
"Mom, Grandpa used to be a United States army officer. Was he once tasked with guarding a senior officer?" Tobias finally asked.
Cecilia found it strange.
Why would Tobias ask such a question all of a sudden? "Yes, it made headlines in the newspapers," Cecilia said. "There was a spy who tried to assassinate the senior official whom your grandfather was guarding, so he was shot dead on the spot by your grandfather. This was a huge incident back then. You were still young at that time, so you probably had no idea about it." Tobias' heart instantly sank.
His brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes becas deep as the boundless sea.
So, it was true.
Then, was Natalie really the daughter of the man who was shot dead? If so, then he and Natalie...
Tobias suddenly did not dare to think about it any further.
He suddenly remembered why Natalie had felt oddly familiar the first the saw her.
Was this fate? Tobias felt perplexed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Tobias, what's the matter?" Cecilia started feeling confused.
"Nothing." Tobias returned to his senses. "Mom, go ahead and take a rest first." Natalie woke up at night.
When she awoke, no one was around her.
All of a sudden, Natalie becterrified.
She was scared that Tobias did not want her anymore.
Natalie got out of bed in a panic.
She walked out of the bedroom.
No one was in the living room, either.
Natalie looked around, but could not find Tobias. She only saw a few servants cleaning the living room.
The panic in Natalie's eyes worsened.
She rushed straight to a maid and asked, "Where... Where's Tobias?" The maid replied respectfully, "Mr. Tobias is in the kitchen." Natalie rushed to the kitchen.
Fortunately, she saw Tobias.
His back was facing her; he seemed to be busy.
Natalie instantly calmed down.
Tobias didn't leave, he was still there.
She couldn't help but hug Tobias from the back.
She leaned her head on his broad back. "Thank God you're here. I was scared to death! I thought that you had left, that you didn't wantanymore." Tobias turned around.
He put his hands on Natalie's slender waist and said slowly, sighing, "Silly girl. Why would I not want you?" Natalie inched closer into Tobias' embrace and said, "I don't know why I'm like this either. I'm just really, really scared." The moment she woke up and didn't see Tobias, fear was the first thing she felt.
"Natalie, I'm making something for you to eat; it's noodles. You haven't had anything to eat yet tonight," said Tobias gently.
Natalie looked into the pot. It really was noodles.
She blurted out, "It's noodles again." Every tTobias made something to eat, it was always noodles.
Tobias was speechless.
He looked awkward. "Natalie, I only know how to make noodles." Other than noodles, he really had no idea how to make anything else.
"If you don't like to eat noodles, I'll learn to make something different next time. What do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll learn how to make it," he added.
His earnestness warmed Natalie's heart.
She shook her head and said, "There's nothing else I want to eat. I like eating the noodles you cook." Even though it was indeed boring to have only one type of food, as long as it was what Tobias made, she would never tire of it.
Even if he made noodles for her every single day, she would always eat it gladly.
"Really?" Tobias' deep, dark eyes stared at Natalie.
Natalie nodded her head seriously.
Tobias grinned. "Alright, then let's have snoodles." After a while, piping hot noodles were served on the table.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie instantly picked up snoodles with her fork and was about to put them into her mouth.
"Natalie, wait," Tobias suddenly said.
Natalie's fork paused in mid- air. She looked at Tobias, puzzled. sath th FindNovill get website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Tobias blew on the noodles on Natalie's fork and said, "It's a little hot. Blow on it for a bit before eating." Natalie's gaze froze.
It was such a simple, down-to-earth action, but when it was the man in front of her doing it, he was so regal and still looked so elegant.
"You can eat it now," said Tobias as he smiled at her.
It was an extremely handsand heartwarming smile. Natalie was gawking at him.
"Why aren't you eating?" Tobias raised his eyebrows.
Natalie cback to her senses.
She ate the noodles from the fork. It was the perfect temperature.
As Tobias said, if she had eaten it as it was earlier, she might have burnt her tongue.
"Does it taste good?" Tobias looked tenderly at her.
Natalie took another big bite, and her cheeks were bulging. "It's delicious! I'll gladly eat your noodles my entire life." Tobias' grin becwider.
After she finished a bowl of noodles, Natalie's thoughts started to cback.
She looked at Tobias and asked, "Tobias, why were you in such a rush to bringhome? I still have a lot of unanswered questions." She suddenly found it a little odd. It wasn't easy to make a trip to North Europe, why was Tobias so anxious to bring her back?
She fell asleep because she had been given a sedative. Shouldn't Tobias bep m have let her wake up from be stumpe in North Europe, then discuss what to do next? Why would he bring her onto the plane without saying a word? Something strange flickered in Tobias' eyes.
It was but a spark, disappearing in a flash.
He said in a low tone, "Natalie, since you've already found out the truth, there's no need to stay there. You're not accustomed to the food and climate there, we might as well just return to Glevania earlier."
