"Natalie, I always thought that family is the most important. But I never realized how much you've suffered in school. I'm sorry."
When Natalie heard what James said, there was a touch of guilt in her eyes.
If it weren't for her, why would Kimberly call James over to Agaphen University?
If it weren't for her, why would James be humiliated?
"Natalie, I will work hard in the future, and I will never let you be mocked again!" James's words were like an oath.
Natalie could not help but throw herself into James's arms. "Dad, no matter what, you will always be the best father."
James patted Natalie's shoulder with tears in his eyes.
It was nearly nine o'clock.
Natalie and James talked a lot.
In the end, Natalie thought that if James had to go abroad the next day, he could not stay out for too long. So, she reluctantly waved goodbye to James.
Natalie took a bus to go back home.
She suddenly saw someone on her way back.
Remington.
The last time she saw Remington was when he was kissing Kimberly in the woods.
"Remington, long time no see." Natalie smiled and greeted him.
Instantly, countless envious and hateful eyes looked at Natalie. They stared at her so fiercely that she thought their gazes would shoot a hole in her.
Before Natalie got into the bus, every woman and girl in the car were staring at her.
But it was probably because that man was too good-looking and outstanding, so no one dared greet him.
Seeing that Natalie knew Remington, their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Natalie ignored all of their gazes.
Ever since she had been with Tobias, she had long been accustomed to this.
There was a flash of surprise in Remington's eyes.
"Didn't you finish class at 5:30?" He asked.
"Yes, but I have something to do today. What about you? Why did you suddenly ride the bus?" Natalie asked curiously.
Remington smiled, and he responded cunningly, "There are plenty of beautiful women on the bus. I get to find more beautiful women."
Natalie let out a sneer, "Come on, with your looks, all you have to do is wave your arm, and countless beautiful women will swarm around you. Do you have to look for women yourself?"
Remington stopped sighing and answered, "Natalie, it's not as easy as you claim. I want a certain person, but that person doesn't want me."
Natalie asked with curiosity, "Who? Who wouldn't want you?"
She did not believe that there would be a person in this world who could resist Remington's beauty.
Suddenly, he got closer to her. Under the light of the bus, he looked so good that it was frightening.
"You."
Remington uttered the word from his calm, thin lips.
When he spoke, all the hot air from his mouth splashed on Natalie's face.
Natalie was shocked.
"What kind of a joke is this?" Then she came to her senses.
She was Tobias's woman, so she was Remington's sister-in-law.
"Yes, it's a joke." Remington smiled and said in a half-truthful way.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Remington was only joking with her.
He had never been serious.
"Remington, I think it would be easier for you to find women with your Ferrari," Natalie claimed casually.
Remington smiled. He did not say anything. When the bus arrived at a station, it stopped. "My beautiful Natalie, I'll have to get out of the bus now. Goodbye." Remington told Natalie.
He was so handsome when he got off the bus that every woman on the bus starred at him.
She looked away.
Natalie then let out a surprised exclaim.
What a coincidence! The seat that Remington took was the same as when he accompanied her on the bus last time.
