Tobias was left momentarily stunned by Natalie's words.
However, he was still a bright person and he soon understood the meaning of her statement. "Are you talking about Matthew and Selina?"
Natalie nodded her head strongly.
He still had his doubts. "I don't think so. There is only one man in Selina's heart."
At this, Natalie let out a small sigh.
To be frank, she had thought so too in the beginning, but she no longer did now.
After all, she too was a woman who was in love. When she saw how agitated Selina was that night, Selina's true feelings were made true to her.
However, she did not know how to explain this to Tobias.
Nonetheless, this was no urgent matter. They could wait for the verification of time.
After all, their future would be a long journey.
Natalie smiled and said, "It's alright. You'll know when the right time comes. People's hearts can change."
"No." He sounded so sure as he quickly continued, "My feelings for you would never change."
When she heard this, Natalie's heartbeat hitched.
Despite the fact that they had been married for so long now and even had two children, she still could not help blushing and having her heart pound against her chest whenever he declared such passionate words to her.
The corners of her lips curled up into a grin, "Tobias, my feelings for you won't change either."
Matthew and Selina could no longer spend any more time at the hospital as they both had things to attend to.
Matthew had to go back to work, whereas Selina had to handle the business she had with Caroline.
The Whitlock family were understanding of this, especially Peter, who quickly prompted them both to leave.
"With so many people here, there was no need for you both to stay the night. You guys should have left last night. You have your own things to do."
After leaving the hospital, Matthew went to the Perry Group company building with Selina in tow.
She was feeling quite nervous about the situation.
After all, she would finally, and formally, be confronting Caroline.
Selina used to have some fondness towards Caroline, but things were different now.
This time, Selina would be putting in her all.
Matthew noticed the uneasiness in Selina's eyes, and said, "Selina, relax."
Selina forced out a smile at his words. "To tell you the truth, I still don't know what to do even now. I keep feeling like I was the one that forced Caroline to act this way. Is this what I deserve?"
Matthew's eyes instantly went dark when he heard this. "Let me tell you a story, Selina."
"Okay."
"I'll use A and B as examples. B loaned 10 million dollars to A when A was facing the most difficult time of their life. A was very grateful for that. A while later, B encountered some trouble and A loaned B 10 million dollars in return. However, B was soon short of money again and asked A for money again. A obliged. Now, B is wanting to borrow money from A for the third time. Do you think A will still loan B some?"
His story left Selina stupefied for a moment.
In his deep voice, he added, "A wouldn't, because all that A owes to B has been paid off. Do you understand what I mean, Selina?"
He used the simplest story to explain his principles to Selina.
Selina understood what Matthew was trying to say.
She had a lot of conflicting thoughts in her mind at first, but once he told her this story, the knotted mess in her brain began untangling itself.
She looked at him with warmth and gratitude. "Thank you."
This man was a true genius.
He didn't bombard her with all sorts of nonsense and used only a simple story to help her understand.
Matthew smiled back at her, "I'm not going to interfere with this because I believe that you will be able to handle this well."
She spoke firmly, "I will."
Caroline arrived at the company's building.
As soon as she got to her desk, the manager walked over to her to tell her, "Caroline, the manager from Human Resources is looking for you."
There was not the faintest change in her expression when she heard this. "Alright, I'll head over then."
This was the first time the Human Resources Department had called for her.
Caroline felt an ominous premonition about the
whole thing.
When she arrived at the manager's office, she knocked on the door.
A crisp female voice sounded out, "Come in."
