He looked at Natalie coldly and asked, "Natalie, do you really think I'm an arbitrary person?"
Natalie gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you? You can flirt with a woman you don't love and then kiss her! You're arbitrary and a player!"
Tobias' expression fell. The coldness on his face intensified.
Just as Natalie finished speaking, his face fell as he was disappointed and sad.
He glanced at Natalie with an indescribable emotion and left the room after slamming the door.
Natalie's tears fell down like rain.
It was clearly Tobias' fault. He flirted with her and even kissed her although he didn't love her! Why was he playing the victim?
Natalie was overwhelmed by grievance, anger and despair.
She thought of leaving.
When Tobias did not answer her question, she only wanted to calm down.
However, she thought of leaving at that moment.
It was because of Tobias' expression and the way he slammed the door when he left the room.
Natalie was not a fool.
Since Tobias did not love her, she would not stay either.
Although she was poor, she wouldn't stay by Tobias' side just because of his wealth.
Natalie wiped the tears on her face and got off the bed.
Natalie decided to leave the Whitelock family's apartment.
When Tobias and Natalie were just pretending to be a married couple, she felt safe there.
Nonetheless, when they got closer to each other, she found out that Tobias did not love her. If so, what reason was there to stay by his side?
Natalie wanted to pack her stuff.
She realized that she had nothing to pack with. The suitcase and the bags belonged to the Whitlock family and not her.
At last, she found a snakeskin bag.
It belonged to her.
When she first arrived at the Whitlock family's apartment, she did not throw it away. Therefore, she kept it underneath her clothes in the closet. Now, it would be of good use to her.
She looked at her bag and laughed mockingly at herself.
This bag represented her true identity.
She was just like the old bag; no one would treasure her. She even had her own Cinderella dream!
It was just a Cinderella dream, which would never come true.
Natalie stuffed her clothes and books into her bag.
She took the bag and went downstairs.
She wanted to leave this place.
This place was her dream come true, but now, her dream was shattered.
Selina was sound asleep downstairs. She was even dreaming about watching Spongebob Squarepants while eating fries. The sudden loud bang woke her.
The noise was so loud that she jolted from her sleep.
She ran to the living room only to find no one.
