The agreement she had with Tobias was an accident.
At that time, she thought that she had simply stopped Cecilia from forcing Tobias into marriage.
At the same time, Tobias provided her with a place to stay and she could also successfully graduate from Agaphen University.
She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
When she realized that she had fallen in love with Tobias, she began to guess his thoughts and wanted to know how he felt.
Natalie was happy when Tobias confessed to her that he liked her.
She was extremely excited and contended.
Later on, she felt that him liking her was not enough; she wanted him to love her too.
If they were going to be a married couple, she didn't want her husband to only like her. She wanted her husband to love her exceptionally.
She didn't care if others thought that she was greedy or dissatisfied; she just wanted it.
When Tobias refused to tell her that he loved her, she was sad and disappointed.
Natalie took a deep breath before she looked at Cecilia and said, "Mom, I know that Tobias is a very responsible man."
Before she and Tobias fell in love with each other, there was a time when she suspected that she was pregnant.
During that time, Tobias told her that if she was really pregnant, he would be responsible for her and treat her as his true wife.
From then on, she knew that this man must be a very responsible man, so she didn't need Cecilia to tell her this.
Natalie paused for a while and continued, "But I not only want him to be responsible, I also want him to love me with all his heart."
She did not know how she got the courage to tell Cecilia the truth.
Cecilia's eyes flickered.
"Natalie, I can tell you with certainty that Tobias likes you, so I can promise you this."
Natalie's heart stopped for a second.
She answered bitterly, "Mom, he just likes me, but he doesn't love me. He wasn't even willing to lie to me and say that he loves me."
Tobias refused to say that he loved her, so how could she believe that he did?
Cecilia was slightly taken back.
A few blurred memories flashed through her mind.
Cecilia was silent and so was Natalie. The two of them walked silently and slowly.
"Natalie," after a long time, Cecilia spoke again and she stopped walking.
Natalie stopped and looked at her.
Cecilia said, "Natalie, love is what you feel in your heart, not just words. I have been in love with my husband for a lifetime. He is a man with dignity and he rarely talks. He has never told me that he loves me, but I can feel it from his actions. Do you understand what I mean?"
A ripple of emotion stirred in Natalie's heart.
Cecilia raised her hand and placed it over Natalie's heart and said, "Natalie, feel it with your heart and ask yourself if Tobias loves you or not. As I said, love is not just words. Perhaps he's like his father who doesn't like to express his feelings, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you."
Natalie blinked her eyes repeatedly.
She remembered that Tobias was indeed a very cold man, but when he talked to her, he was flirtatious and sweet.
Natalie was confused.
Due to Cecilia's words, she felt that she didn't know what to do.
"Promise me that you'll think about it yourself, Natalie." Cecilia looked at Natalie with a gentle expression.
Natalie had no choice but to nod.
The day passed quickly.
In the morning, Cecilia was chatting with Natalie, whereas in the afternoon, Selina joined their conversation.
