Hayden said, "I heard Great-grandpa talking about Aunt too, saying that if she doesn't get married soon, she would turn into leftovers, and that there wouldn't be any chance for her in the future!" Cecilia laughed as she poked Hayden's forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about, child?" Hayden widened his dark, round eyes. "I'm not talking nonsense. I really heard that." Meanwhile, Natalie forced a smile.
She thought of Dylan again, whom she had met that day.
Why had such a good girl like Selina ended up wasting her ton such a man? As long as she wanted, there would be countless outstanding men who she could choose from, so why was Selina so foolish? "By the way, Natalie, why hasn't Selina cback yet?" Cecilia asked Natalie with a smile.
Natalie's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
At first, she wanted to tell Cecilia the truth. However, she decided against it this time.
If Cecilia heard that, she would definitely feel rather alarmed.
Natalie swallowed what she originally wanted to say.
She instead replied, "I think she has sbusiness to attend to." Fortunately, Cecilia didn't think much about it.
Then, Natalie accompanied Hayden to finish reading the book.
Hayden had played around quite a lot that afternoon. He didn't get to take a nap like he usually did, which was why he becsleepy very early on. After a while, Natalie went to bring Hayden to bed. After Hayden fell asleep, Tobias still hadn't returned yet.
Natalie made a call to Tobias.
The call was picked up after a moment.
"Natalie," Tobias' low voice cover the phone.
His voice was already pleasing in the first place, but on a call, it sounded lower than usual, which made him sound explosively attractive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing Tobias' voice, Natalie immediately felt at ease.
"Tobias," Natalie murmured softly. "Are you still busy with work?" The other end of the line paused for a moment.
"Yeah," Tobias responded.
There was a trace of peculiarity in his answer.
However, Natalie did not mind it.
"I went shopping with Selina today, and we met Dylan," Natalie mentioned.
Tobias frowned on the other end of the phone.
Natalie told him everything. "Dylan wants to break up with Selina, but I don't know if they will really break up. I think it'll be a good thing for Selina if they do." "They can't break up," Tobias replied directly.
Natalie was stunned. "Why?" "She and that man have been in love for so many years, and her heart's already been filled up with him. How can they break up so easily?" Tobias' tone got even lower.
Natalie's eyes rippled. "But that man isn't Selina's Mr. Right. It will only be painful for her to be with him." "We all know that, but there's nothing we can do about it." Tobias sounded somewhat helpless.
He, as well as Cecilia, could do nothing about Selina right then. They could only let her do as she liked. "Natalie, maybe this is her destiny. It's up to her what she does next." Tobias' words made Natalie feel a little bitter.
She fell silent for a moment before saying, "After that, we met your friend, Matthew, again. He suggested going for a drink, and Selina went to drink with him. That's fine, right? I originally wanted to accompany Selina, but..." Natalie paused, feeling a little embarrassed.
She just skipped over what she intended to say. "I didn't go with them because I think that Matthew could be trusted." Tobias thought the sas Natalie.
If it was Matthew who took Selina for drinks, even if Selina got blackout drunk, nothing would happen.
Matthew was a very reliable person.
"It's fine," Tobias answered.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
When it cto Matthew and Selina, Natalie suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Tobias, don't you think that Selina and Matthew are quite suited for each other?" She didn't know why, but suddenly she thought of that.
Matthew was handsand looked very gentle. If Selina were to be with him, she would definitely be well taken care of and not suffer anymore.
Natalie's statement startled Tobias a little.
His opinion was different from Natalie's. "It's impossible for the two of them. Matthew is too mature, while Selina is too childish. They live in two different worlds." Natalie dragged out her tone. "We live in two different worlds too, but didn't we end up together?" If Matthew and Selina were from two different worlds, then shouldn't the gap between her and Tobias be even greater.
Tobias fell speechless.
Suddenly, he burst out with a laugh. "Natalie, you're right. Perhaps there really is a chance." Natalie also giggled at that.
"Natalie, I miss you," Tobias suddenly confessed.
When he said that, his words were mixed with deep affection, which would make anyone's heart feel toasty. Natalie suddenly felt warmth gushing all over her body.
Although she had been with Tobias for so many years, and their child had even grown up, her heart still fluttered whenever Tobias spoke such loving words.
"How much do you miss me?" she could not help but ask.
"Every second," Tobias emphasized word by word.
Natalie uttered with a smile, "I miss you too, but too bad, I don't miss you as much as you miss me." Many of her thoughts that day had been focused on Selina. Thus, she hadn't thought much about Tobias.
"It doesn't matter, Natalie. It's fine as long as I miss you." Tobias said gently.

The gentleness on his face slowly faded, replaced by a complex expression.
Simon had called him that day, saying that he had received the blood sample, but the results wouldn't be out that fast.
In the end, Simon also specifically mentioned that it was better to obtain the drugs that Natalie m consumed Only in that way could they find out the problems as soon as possible and develop an antidote. However, right then, he still hadn't found Remington. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth all of a sudden. Neither Tobias nor Peter's men were able to find him.
And in the present, whenever Tobias got close to Natalie, he would feel severe pain in his heart.
He hadn't planned to go back that night, but because of that phone call, he couldn't bear to tell Natalie that he wouldn't be going home.

When the porridge was almost ready, Tobias returned home.
Natalie placed the bowl of porridge on the table. "I made sporridge. Have a taste." Natalie was grinning as she spoke.

Moments later, the corners of his lips curled into a smile. "Alright, I'll try some." X
