"Natalie, sometimes conflicts would arise between a married couple after they have been together for a long time. Everything will return to normal again after some time. Don't be too anxious."
"Sometimes, men would do stupid things when they were under tremendous pressure."
"Natalie, you're a good girl. Tobias will figure it out one day."
"Tobias is a very responsible man. He won't abandon you, especially when you are pregnant with his child. You just need to take good care of the baby. Don't worry about anything else."
Her words made Natalie feel a little better.
After Natalie was done preparing the food, the driver sent her to the YS Group.
She was surprised to see Benjamin when she arrived at the door of the president's office.
His face changed slightly.
Just that morning, Tobias had specially given him an instruction.
If Natalie came to look for him, ask her to go back because he would not see her.
He did not expect her to come at this time.
Holding a lunchbox in her hand, she looked very tired, and there were dark circles under her eyes.
Benjamin knew that something must have happened between them.
Even the last time when Tobias suddenly visited the church, it must have had something to do with this too.
Benjamin did not know what exactly had happened either.
This was not something that an assistant like him could ask.
The only thing he could do was to follow Tobias' orders.
Benjamin stopped Natalie and asked, "Miss Godfrey, are you looking for Mr. Whitlock?"
She was walking with her head down, and was shocked when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Benjamin.
"Yes."
With an awkward look on his face, he said, "Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock is busy now. He may not have time to see you."
Benjamin was trying to tell her indirectly.
Her eyes trembled lightly.
After a moment, she smiled weakly and said, "It's fine. I'll wait for him."
She stood waiting outside Tobias' office.
Natalie had waited the whole morning. She just stood there, motionless.
Benjamin could not stand looking at her anymore.
He did not forget that she was still pregnant with Tobias' child.
Benjamin could not help but give Tobias a call.
The call was quickly connected.
"Mr. Whitlock, Miss Godfrey has been standing outside your office the whole morning."
"I'm aware of that," he said faintly, without any emotion in his voice.
Benjamin was perplexed.
Tobias used to care about Natalie a lot.
He could even ignore the company's affairs because of her. However, his attitude towards her now was as if she was a stranger.
A stranger who was not related to him.
"Mr. Whitlock, Miss Godfrey is pregnant now.
If she keeps standing like this, I am afraid that something bad might happen to her," Benjamin could not help but say.
The breathing on the other end of the line suddenly became heavy.
Shortly after, Tobias hung up the call.
The door of the president's office opened.
He strode out of the office.
He ignored Natalie completely.
Natalie grabbed Tobias's sleeve anxiously and said, "Tobias, don't go, there are some things I want to talk to you about."
He looked at her condescendingly. His eyes were deep and full of experiences. "Natalie, I think I have already told you very clearly. We have already broken up and have nothing to do with each other. You don't have any reason to look for me, and I also don't have any reason to see you again."
Her face was instantly drained of color.
"You're just joking with me, right?"
"I'm not joking with you."
