Everyone was stunned.
On the other side, Peter strolled in with a leisured, relaxed look. He glanced at Remington and then Tobias, and then he sighed heavily.
Selina's heart shot up at once.
Was Peter going to say something? That would be so embarrassing.
She heard Peter said slowly, "Remington, you've found yourself a wife, but you have to consider Tobias' feelings. At his age, he has no woman around to warm his bed. How lonely he must be. You and Natalie should restrain yourselves. Don't make it difficult for your brother. You should still sleep in separate rooms to avoid Tobias being jealous, don't you think?"
Remington squinted his eyes as he smiled, hiding the deep glow in them.
After a while, he looked at Natalie and asked, "Natalie, what do you think?"
His tone was relaxed as if he was asking whether you were hungry.
Natalie's breathing paused for a moment.
She had wanted to make Tobias uncomfortable, but she didn't expect to cause this much trouble to so many people, which was never her intention.
She simply wanted to make it more difficult for Tobias, yet her fire scalded others.
"I'll go sleep in the other room." Natalie said.
The quarrel just now was only trying to provoke Tobias. It was really unnecessary now that Natalie thought about it.
Hearing this, Peter nodded. "Remington, Tobias is already 30, but he doesn't even have a woman around him now. Don't make him madder than he is."
A meaningful gleam flashed in Remington's eyes when he glanced at Peter.
The storm finally ended.
Peter told her grandaughter to go to bed." Selina, go get some rest."
She looked at Tobias with hesitation.
Peter noticed this, and his face immediately darkened. "Sleeping late is not good for your skin. If you have bad skin, you'll end up like a leftover nun!"
Selina had no words at that.
She stared at Peter speechlessly. "Grandpa, can we not talk about leftovers all day long?" "Then why don't you go to bed?" Peter replied, urging.
After a tiny stomp of her feet, Selina went to bed obediently.
Peter gave Tobias another meaningful look. "Tobias, come here and chat with me for a while."
They walked to the sofa in the main hall.
Peter had Watson, the butler to pour a glass of water for Tobias.
Tobias gulped it down, and the water was cold.
It seemed to have just taken it out of the refrigerator, which chilled his heart to the bone.
Peter looked at Tobias in a pensive manner. "Tobias, you are very indolent right now. You need to drink something cold."
Tobias put down his cup. "Grandpa, I'm sorry.
I was too impulsive just now."
"You've always been calm and collected, and rarely acted so impulsively. At least I've never seen you like this." Peter stared at Tobias as he spoke.
Tobias replied with a wry smile.
Yes, he had always been calm.
Yet why couldn't he calm down every time he saw Natalie?
His body was like a fire burning from the inside, and burning more and more to the extent he felt uncomfortable and hard.
"Have you calmed down now?" Peter asked again.
"I'm much better," Tobias said.
Peter nodded.
He didn't say a word, neither did Tobias.
All of a sudden, the gigantic main hall fell into a dead silence.
"The girl named Natalie should be sleeping in the other bedroom by now." After a while, Peter broke the silence first.
Tobias did not reply.
"Tobias, both of you are my grandchildren. What do you think I should do?" Peter sighed suddenly. "You two don't have a good relationship at all. Why do you have such same tastes? Both are my flesh and bone. What do you want me to do?"
