There was a hint of an oppressive force in Tobias¹ eyes.
Natalie gulped nervously.
She suddenly felt that Remington was definitely not simple. His last name was also Whitlock!
She did not read all those romance novels for nothing.
Romance novels were infamous for a plot similar to this. The fight between two brothers. Could Remington and Tobias actually be brothers? And Remington purposely hid her last name from her because he wanted to use her against Tobias?
Natalie thought about it and felt something was wrong.
Remington had known her for so long, but he had never fished any information about Tobias from her.
Furthermore, he did not look like Tobias. Other than being extremely handsome, he looked nothing like Tobias.
Over here, Natalie suppressed the doubts in her heart and told Tobias everything.
The frown between Tobias' brows grew deeper.
"He is purposefully getting close to you, Natalie," Tobias suddenly said.
There was no emotion in his voice.
"Why would he purposely approach me?" Natalie
suddenly felt nervous. "Is he coming for you?"
Natalie did not want it to be true.
She was quite fond of Remington. Of course, not in a man and woman sort of way, but as a friend.
Natalie did not want to find out that he turned out to be bad.
The expression on Tobias' face changed slightly.
"I'm not sure."
"Is he a bad guy?" Natalie's gaze tightened.
"He is not a bad person."
Natalie just breathed a sigh of relief, but then Tobias added, "But he's not a good person either."
All of a sudden, Natalie felt very anxious..
Her eyelashes fluttered and said. "I thought he was a friend."
Tobias gave Natalie a deep look and said, "As your husband, I have no right to interfere with how you make friends but you'd better minimize your contact with him.”
Natalie asked naturally, "Why?"
She wanted to know whether they were friend or foe.
Tobias' eyes darkened, "Because he's my younger brother."
Natalie's head was throbbing.
Although she had an initial assumption, she never expected it to be true.
Remington and Tobias were actually brothers!
"But your mother seemed to have said that you are the only son." It suddenly occurred to Natalie that Cecilia seemed to have mentioned it to her that she only had Tobias as her one and only son.
"We share the same father but have different mothers," Tobias said.
Natalie immediately understood.
This was exactly like in the romance novel. They were half-brothers!
No wonder others said that romance novels were a reflection of actual life. It turned out to be true!
"Then do you have any family feud? Is he trying to get close to me to take over your position?!" Natalie had her imagination running.
Tobias squinted at Natalie and said, "Don't overthink it."
They continued their conversation and entered the cruise ship. Tobias took Natalie to the elevator and pressed the button to the second floor.
The performance was on the second floor. Natalie could tell that all the performers were all the best A-list celebrities.
Tobias guided Natalie to the front row seats. There were two empty seats in the front row as if they were specially prepared for Tobias and Natalie.
Next to Tobias was a strict looking man. His face was square and his eyes were piercing.
