Winnie took a deep breath, and her eyes were full of sadness, "Do you care so much about that woman?"
"I'm just here to tell you one thing. After all, your mother is an elder. I still have some respect for her. Let her find me within a day. Get her to tell me what she told Natalie, or I could not promise what I will do."
Tobias' tone was icy that it seemed to freeze everything in the surrounding.
Winnie's face showed a look of pain.
At first, she was still fantasizing the reason Tobias asked her out.
But she did not expect it to be for Natalie.
Winnie's heart felt as if it was stabbed thousand times.
She looked at Tobias with disbelief, "What do you mean? Are you threatening my mother?"
"I'm not threatening her. Had she not come to look for Natalie..." Tobias looked at Winnie emotionless.
"Are you really so heartless?" Winnie's hands were trembling.
She could not believe that Tobias really said that.
He wanted her mother to tell him everything, otherwise, he would be rude to her mother.
Tobias' face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes were cold and sharp. "Go and ask your mother what she has done. She is an elder, and yet she is making things hard for Natalie, furthermore she is..."
Tobias paused for a while, and then he said in a gruff voice, "...is my woman."
"My woman." Those words made Winnie's heart shiver.
She looked at Tobias with sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Don't I have any place in your heart anymore?"
Tobias remained indifferent, "A human's heart is only that big. If one person has a place in my heart, how can there be a place to accommodate another person?"
Winnie felt even sadder.
Tobias was indeed loyal, but he was very heartless too.
He was faithful to a woman, but he was so heartless to other women too.
Tobias had already stood up, "Tell your mother that my patience is limited, you have one day."
His tone was not heavy, but it was very powerful.
When Winnie came to her senses, Tobias had left.
She stumbled her way back home.
She left her house happily, but she returned desperately.
She thought that Tobias was looking for her.
She thought she had finally won his heart.
But she did not expect it to be for that woman.
"Winnie, how did it go?"
Tracy was filled with anticipation.
She knew that Tobias had called Winnie. She thought that Natalie finally gave up because of her difficulties, then Tobias went to look for Winnie.
Winnie did not say anything.
Tracy could sense that something was wrong.
Winnie's face was a little pale, and her eyes were dim too.
She was not as energetic as she was when she left.
Tracy's heart ached.
She held Winnie's hand, "What did Tobias tell you?"
Winnie remained silent for a while.
Finally, she looked at Tracy, "Mom, what did you tell Natalie?"
She was well aware that Tracy went to find Natalie that day.
But she did not ask about the details.
