It was unbelievable. Jenkins was back.
His expression was grim.
He'd heard everything that Yvonne said.
Yvonne trembled slightly.
"Natalie, I'll get going now. See you." Yvonne hung up the phone in a hurry.
Jenkins stood there with a grim expression.
On top of his cold aura, his grim expression made him look like the reincarnation of Lucifer.
Yvonne walked over to him fearfully.
She tried to smile. "Mr. Quartley, you're back?" Jenkins did not answer. He only stared at Yvonne.
She felt a chill down her spine.
Yvonne gulped under his watchful gaze.
She blinked her beautiful eyes at him and asked, "Mr. Quartley, did you overhearon the phone?" Jenkins' expression fell even further.
Yvonne placed her hand on Jenkins's neck and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Quartley, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about other men. How could I compare a one-in-a-million man like you to other men?" Even Yvonne herself felt that these words were fake.
After saying this, she got goosebumps all over her body.
However, she still mustered up the courage to meet Jenkins's cold gaze.
Because she had to convince Jenkins that her words were sincere.
Jenkins's gaze deepened.
This woman...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA mixture of feelings surged in his heart.
He knew that this woman was a liar.
However, even he had fallen for her lies.
Yuna told Peter that she was going to go home.
Peter was very surprised.
After all, he could see that Yuna was very interested in Tobias.
He had not expected that a few days later, Yuna would suggest returning home.
"Yuna, are you sure you want to go back?" Peter asked in shock.
Yuna nodded.
She looked at Peter with sincerity. "Grandpa, I don't want to put you in a hard position." Her words touched Peter's heartstrings.
Peter's heart was about to melt.
He was overwhelmed with guilt.
He coughed. "Yuna, I'm sorry!" Yuna obediently shook her head. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I just hope that you can be at peace. Only then will you live a long life. What's more..." She paused before continuing with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm still so young, and I still have a lot of tto plan for my future. You don't have to worry about it for the tbeing, okay?" Yuna had left herself a way out.
After all, she did not really intend to give up on Tobias.
The shock that she had experienced at sixteen was deeply imprinted at the bottom of her heart. How could she let go so easily? It was just that she knew when to make a move, and when to back down.
Having stayed in the Whitlock family's villa for the past few days, she was well aware of Tobias's attitude, even more so because of their dinner the night before. Tobias had pretty much killed the conversation. If she continued to stay here, it would only make Tobias feel repulsed. There might not even be any chances left for her in the future.
And if she left now, it might make Tobias think more highly of her.
After all, to Yuna, Tobias's hwas still in United States and he'd have to go back there eventually. When he was back there, they'd have chances to meet up anytime.
Although there were too many variables involved in this, she had to take a step back, as it was the best decision. Peter's gaze deepened slightly upon hearing Yuna's words.
After a while, he patted her shoulder. "Yuna, you are a good child, I understand what you mean. That kid can't figure it out yet, but he will one day. You don't have to worry." Yuna nodded, and her eyelashes fluttered down, covering the lights in her eyes.
In the evening, Cecilia deliberately waited for Tobias to cback.
She told him that Peter and Yuna were leaving.
"Their flight is tomorrow morning," Cecilia said.
"Grandpa has specifically ordered you to send them off." "Okay." Tobias' voice was low.
Peter would leave the next morning, so he naturally had to see him off.
Cecilia sighed again. "I think Yuna likes you very much, unfortunately..." She paused, and did not continue.
To tell the truth, Yuna's performance over the past three days had been really remarkable, and she had left a good impression on Cecilia.
It was unfortunate that Natalie had cfirst.
If it weren't for Natalie, she would have set up Tobias and Cecilia, just like Peter had.
But now...
Natalie and Tobias were separated.
However, she really couldn't set up Yuna and Tobias that soon after they had just parted.
As for the future, it would be up to fate.
"Mother, I'm going to sleep now. You should go to bed early as well." Tobias did not have any more interest in continuing their conversation.
Cecilia nodded.
She walked to the door of her bedroom and stopped again. "Tobias, m I know that you're busy with work, but t you should cback earlier to be with Hayden. Hayden keeps talking about how he misses his father these two days." Tobias's breathing hitched.
"I've got it." His deep voice was a little hoarse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, he went to Hayden's room.
Hayden had already fallen asleep, and Tobias could hear his breathing.
Hayden had bad sleeping posture, just like Natalie. His hands and legs were stretched out, and one of his legs was outside of the blanket.
Tobias quickly fixed the blanket for him.
His gaze fell on Hayden's face. SeaR*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Hayden's eyes were closed, and his big bright eyes were covered by his long and thick lashes.
Tobias was somewhat lost in thought as he gazed at Hayden's face.
Looking at him, he suddenly thought of Natalie.
It was clear that Hayden looked like Tobias, almost as if they had been carved out of the smold, but he still notice the sstill noticed a shadow of Natalie on Hayden's face. Tobias's heart could not help but throb with a dull pain at the thought of Natalie. He unconsciously stretched out his finger to gently stroke Hayden's face.
Tobias did not go to the office the next day. He was going to send Peter and Yuna off.
On this day, Peter dressed up in a formal and old-fashioned way, whereas Yuna had on a little black dress with a white hat. She looked especially womanly.
When they arrived at the airport, Tobias accompanied them as they waited for their flight.
Peter then pulled Tobias to one side.
He looked at Tobias unhappily. "Now that I'm leaving, you're probably so happy, right?" "Grandpa, you're thinking too much." Tobias's expression did not change.
Peter's eyes widened. "I don't know what you're thinking, kid. How could you refuse a good girl like Yuna? Are you waiting for an angel to descend from heaven?" Tobias fell speechless at his words. "Grandpa, it's tto board the plane," Tobias said with a wry smile.
Peter snorted. "I don't care. I'll give you another half year. If you're still not married by then, I'll tie you up and get you to marry Yuna." Yvonne headed to the airport.
She was going abroad to watch a show.
While she was in the VIP lounge, she caught sight of a man.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Wasn't that Tobias?
