Natalie was not dead! She was alive!
She was Tobias' wife!
She was standing right before him!
Natalie didn't seem to recognize him.
They used to be so close when they were younger. Natalie followed him everywhere and called him "Jack" all the time.
How did the little girl, who was so attached to him, forget about him?
Jack went completely blank.
He slowly came to his senses.
He looked at Tobias with a flash of coldness in his eyes, "Tobias, you already knew that Natalie was an old friend of mine from my childhood, didn't you? Why did you hide it from me? Why did you lie to me?"
He did not understand why Tobias lied to him. How could Tobias deceive him?
Tobias looked at Jack indifferently, "Mr. Perry, I've told you that I was asking on my wife's behalf. I don't think you need further explanation. Besides..." Tobias suddenly raised his voice, "Natalie has lost her memory, so she doesn't remember what happened in her past. I don't want you to remind her of it either."
Pain flashed across Jack's face, "Tobias, why can't I remind her of the past? We used to be so close!"
Tobias saw the longing on Jack's face.
He said in a low voice, "Jack, you only exist in Natalie's painful past, whereas I am part of her future. If you love her, don't remind her of the traumatic experience."
Jack's mind went blank.
Although they had known each other since they were kids, he had never forgotten Natalie. She held the most important place in his heart.
Even his girlfriend, Wendy, could not replace her.
Though Natalie was very much alive, she did not recognize him. He could not even remind her of the past because it would hurt her.
Jack's breathing hitched.
After a long time, he gazed at Tobias and said, "Tobias, I hope you make her happy."
After saying that, Jack stumbled away. He looked lonely and sad.
Tobias glanced at Jack as he left before he got off the Princess Cruise to board another cruise ship.
Although this cruise ship was not as big as the Princess Cruise, it still looked grand and extravagant. This was Tobias's private cruise ship.
Natalie was already onboard.
Natalie looked around and started exploring the cruise ship. Benjamin told her that this ship belonged to Tobias.
Natalie's jaw dropped.
She could not believe that Tobias had such a luxurious private cruise ship! Although it was not as grand as the Princess Cruise, it was still very high-class.
When Tobias arrived, Natalie said with excitement, "Tobias, is this really your cruise ship?"
Tobias nodded.
Natalie's eyes widened, "I have only seen a private cruise ship on television and in the news. I can't believe I'm looking at one right now."
Tobias burst out laughing when he saw how excited Natalie was.
"You've already boarded the Princess Cruise.
This is no match compared to that."
Natalie shook her head and said, "Despite that, this is still privately owned by you!"
"This cruise ship is not as big as the Princess Cruise. It's fine if you like something as extravagant as the Princess Cruise," Tobias looked at Natalie and said, "I'll get you a similar one. Let's call it the Natalie Cruise."
Natalie's eyes were full of astonishment.
