The matter had finally been resolved.
However, it was inappropriate to say that they were in a good mood. All of their expressions were grim, especially Natalie, who was feeling gloomy.
On the plane, she seemed to have made up her mind, then walked to Jack and sat next to him.
"Jack," Natalie called him in a low voice.
Jack grinned. "Natalie, we'll arrive at Agaphen City soon. We'll have to bid farewell to each other again. I think there are only a few minutes left."
Natalie glanced out of the window and saw countless clouds floating outside.
Natalie nodded. "Yes, well have to bid farewell soon."
She bit her lip. "Jack, I really didn't know that you..."
She didn't know how to continue. She was truly clueless that Jack had been suppressing the emotions in his heart just for her this whole time.
She would not have known about this for the rest of her life if it wasn't for Remington's matter.
"Silly." Jack suddenly patted Natalie's head gently.
"Are you still thinking about it?"
Natalie gnawed at her lip and nodded.
Jack grinned. "Natalie, I've already let go. Why are you still thinking about it?"
After saying that, he looked into Natalie's eyes, his gaze meaningful.
Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized something.
"Jack," she murmured.
"Natalie, I will always be your brother," Jack said.
Hearing that, Natalie's eyes suddenly lit up.
She nodded heavily. "That's right, Jack. I will always be your little sister too."
A smile appeared in Jack's eyes as well.
Wasn't it good, the way they were right then?
If he were to use extreme tactics just like Remington, perhaps he would never have the chance to see Natalie smiling at him ever again.
As long as Natalie was living a good life, there was nothing more important.
"Natalie, you must be happy in the future, so that you won't let me down," Jack uttered gently.
Natalie felt a tinge of sourness in her heart, but she then smiled in return. "Jack, don't worry, I will be happy. I will live well with Tobias. We will forever be happy in the future. Jack, you have to be happy too."
Jack nodded. "Natalie, we will all be happy."
The plane finally arrived in Agaphen City.
Natalie bid farewell to Jack, waving goodbye.
Jack purposely went over to Tobias. "Tobias, you must treat Natalie well in the future, or else I won't stand by."
Tobias beamed. "Don't worry, that day will never come. I will be good to Natalie for the rest of my life."
Jack called Natalie over.
He smiled at her, saying, "Natalie, let me tell you, Tobias just promised me that he would be good to you and treat you well for the rest of his life. You must tell me if he doesn't treat you well. I will definitely stand up for you."
He paused after speaking, his eyes shining. "Natalie, you don't have a family, and your parents are no longer here, but you don't have to feel that you don't have anyone to rely on. From today onwards, I am your brother and also your family. You can rely on me from now on."
Natalie's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
It was as if a lump was blocking her throat, and she could not utter a single word. Countless emotions were surging wildly in her like waves.
After sniffing for a while, she choked out, "Jack, you're right. From now on, you're my family. Just like any other married woman, I also have a family."
After that, she said to Tobias, "Did you hear that? You can't bully me in the future. I have a brother to support me too."
The truth was, she knew that Tobias would not bully her. No matter what happened, he would never bully her.
However, she still told him that.
