What did this man take her for?
She did not want money, nor any form of compensation.
She wanted her child to have a father.
She wanted a warm home.
She was very greedy because she actually wanted a lot more.
She also wanted a grand wedding. She wanted to live with Tobias in their home.
However, they had not held their wedding yet, nor moved into their home. Why was he telling her that he wanted to break up with her?
Natalie's eyes turned red and said, "I don't want money. You said that you would give me a home. You said that you would give me happiness."
"Natalie, I regret what I said. I'll take back my words now." The man's voice was still cold without a trace of warmth.
Only he himself knew that with every word he said, his heart felt as if it had been dismembered. It felt as though there was a villain in his heart, cutting his heart with a knife.
It was so excruciatingly painful.
Selina put down the spoon in her hand.
"Mom, I'm a little worried. I'll go take a look." Selina did not wait for Cecilia's reply and ran upstairs.
Just now, Tobias went upstairs with a sullen face. Natalie went upstairs next. She was really worried about them.
Upstairs, Selina knocked on the door of Natalie's bedroom, but no one answered.
She subconsciously walked to the rooftop and heard their conversation.
Selina was dumbfounded.
Tobias wanted to break up with Natalie!
How could this be!
Natalie was still pregnant with his child!
Wasn't Tobias planning their wedding now?
Why was he breaking up with her all of a sudden?
She scurried downstairs.
Cecilia was still sitting at the dining table.
She was not eating and looked deep in thoughts, as if she was thinking about something.
Selina was choking with sobs. "Mom, quickly come upstairs now. Something serious happened!"
Cecilia knitted her brows lightly and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Mom, Tobias wants to break up with Natalie. Come up quickly."
Cecilia's face turned pale.
"Natalie, move out tonight. I will arrange for someone to buy you another villa. You can live there."
She looked at him and said, "Th-Then we will not contact each other again in the future, right? You are giving me a sum of money and buying me a villa as compensation. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other, right?"
"Yes."
Her heart dropped.
"Tobias, you are not allowed to break up with Natalie!" A loud voice shouted at the same time.
Selina and Cecilia walked over.
There was incredulity on Cecilia's face, whereas it was anger on Selina's face.
"Tobias, Natalie is pregnant with your child now. How can you break up with her? I always thought you're a very responsible man, but why are you acting like those jerks now!"
Cecilia held back her emotions on her face.
She said softly, "Tobias, please come with me. I have something to talk to you about."
Tobias refused, "Mom, I know what you are going to tell me. No matter what you say, I will break up with Natalie. There is no turning back for this matter. You don't have to waste your breath."
The calmness on Cecilia's face instantly faded away.
"You are being too ridiculous, Tobias!" She snapped sternly. "Natalie is not only pregnant with your child, but also my grandson. You can't break up with her."
"Mom, This is my personal affair. You can't interfere," he said indifferently. His mother's words had not made him change his mind.
Selina felt like she was going to explode with rage.
She used to hear people say that there were some jerks who would trick women into bed, and then abandoned them when they got pregnant. At that time, Selina really hated those jerks to the core.
However, she never expected her brother to be one of those jerks too.
Holding Natalie's hand, Selina said, "Natalie, I'll stand with you. I don't agree with Tobias breaking up with you!"
