Tobias' eyes turned gloomy as he looked at Natalie. "Natalie, you said you went to a hot spring and rested in the Four Seasons Hotel?"
Natalie bit her lip.
After a moment, she decided to tell the truth. "Yes, I lied to you! I didn't go to any hot spring nor the Four Seasons Hotel. Since you didn't want to bring me to North Europe, I decided to just go there myself!"
After she finished, she looked at Tobias.
She thought that Tobias would be displeased and angry.
After all, she had lied to him.
However, he wasn't.
Complicated emotions were written all over Tobias' face.
After a while, he embraced Natalie.
His warmth engulfed her.
Tobias spoke slowly in a resigned tone, saying, "Natalie, do you know what day it was yesterday? It was our first encounter in the hotel, many years _ __ _ n ago.
Natalie was startled.
Tobias continued, "You told me that you were in room 302 of the Four Seasons Hotel, so I went there, but it wasn't you who opened the door. I went to the front desk to check, but you weren't around. I called you, but it didn't go through. Only when I got someone to investigate did I find out that you were on a flight back."
His voice was full of weariness and helplessness.
A sense of guilt arose in Natalie.
She had forgotten that the day before was the anniversary of their first meeting. She also had no idea that Tobias would look for her.
Natalie lowered her eyes as she apologised, "I'm sorry, Tobias."
Her voice was soft. She really shouldn't have lied to Tobias.
"Natalie," Tobias murmured in a low voice. "It's my fault. You wanted to find out more about your identity, but I stopped you. That's my fault."
Natalie's eyes lit up with hope because of Tobias' words. "Then can you take me to see the man named Santiago?"
Tobias' body stiffened.
After a while, he let go of Natalie and said, "Natalie, let's go home and rest."
Natalie's eyes darkened.
Why was Tobias willing to compromise with her in every single thing except this?
At the Whitlock family house in the United States.
Cecilia thought that it was strange. Why were Remington and Hayden constantly together nowadays?
Even though she didn't understand Remington very well, she knew that he wasn't the type of man who liked kids a lot, not to mention having the patience to play with one.
Initially, she felt a little worried.
After all, she knew a little about his past feelings for Natalie.
However, later on, Cecilia was relieved.
Now that Natalie and Tobias were getting married soon, no matter what Remington may feel towards Natalie, he should keep himself in check.
She knew that Remington had always been a clever man.
As for Remington patiently playing with Hayden right now, Cecilia believed that it was merely because Hayden was Remington's nephew.
Meanwhile, Remington was playing basketball with Hayden.
Of course, it was basically only Remington playing while Hayden watched.
Whenever Remington made a shot, Hayden's eyes would light up with admiration.
"Uncle Remington, you're so cool!" Hayden exclaimed in admiration when Remington successfully shot a ball into the hoop.
Remington smiled.
He sat down next to Hayden and asked, "Do you think I'm good at basketball?"
Hayden nodded his head furiously. "You're amazing at basketball, Uncle! If my girl classmates watched you play, they would totally gossip about marrying you. Uncle, you're the best." Remington smiled. "Actually, I'm not the best at playing basketball. There's someone way better than me."
