She recalled what had happened previously. Because of her lack of composure, she caused a lot of trouble for Tobias.
If she lost her temper now, would she cause more trouble for him?
Tobias said in a lower tone, "Natalie, can you give me a chance to explain?"
Natalie took a deep breath and said, "Don't tell me anything right now. I'm not in the mood to listen."
There was a hint of helplessness on Tobias' handsome face. "Then tell me, when will you be in the mood to listen?"
Natalie bit her lips. "Let me be alone for a while. Let me calm myself down first."
Her mind was in a mess at that moment.
She did not want to get into trouble because she lost her composure.
Natalie looked at Tobias and said in a firm tone, "Stop following me from now on. I have to think about it carefully."
Tobias' eyes darkened.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Natalie, calm down. Once you've calmed down, I will explain it to you."
Natalie glanced at Tobias with a complicated look in her eyes. After a while, she left.
Benjamin panted as he caught up to her. "Mr. Whitlock, should I explain it to Miss Godfrey?"
"There's no need for that," Tobias' tone was low. "Send a few bodyguards to secretly follow her. Don't let anything happen to her."
"I understand, Mr. Whitlock."
Natalie wandered alone on the streets.
This time, she was too calm, terribly so.
Apart from losing her temper initially, could this calm be because of what Benjamin told her?
Was it because she was afraid of causing trouble for Tobias again?
She stopped in front of a park.
Flowers were blooming brilliantly there, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted into Natalie's nose.
She took a deep breath.
She picked up a flower from the ground.
"Tobias is a big liar."
She tore off a petal.
She continued, "Tobias is not a liar."
She plucked off another petal.
When she finished plucking the last petal, she came to the conclusion that Tobias was not a liar.
Natalie let out a bitter smile.
If he was not a liar, then what was going on with the scene she saw?
She clearly saw Winnie hugging Tobias. What could be fake about that?
Given Natalie's personality, she would run away immediately after seeing such a scene.
But this time, she didn't run away.
She told herself not to be impulsive, and that she would think it through with her brain.
Could this be some kind of misunderstanding?
However, no matter how she thought about it, Natalie could not think of how she might have misunderstood what she saw.
She originally wanted to call Yvonne and hear her opinion.
But she put down her phone as soon as she picked it up.
She should not always listen to other people's opinions. They did not experience it firsthand, so their opinions would only make her more and more confused.
What was more, she was not a child anymore, so she needed to have her own critical thinking skills.
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
She stayed that way until a group of children appeared in the park.
The kids followed behind a few teachers. Someone must have organized for the school kids to come to the playground to play.
Seeing the innocent and adorable looks on the children's faces, Natalie gradually lessened her agitation.
She really tried hard to calm herself down, so she focused all her attention on this group of children.
"Children, let me tell you a story today," a female teacher who stood in front of them suddenly said.
