"Tonight?" Remington raised his eyebrows.
Natalie nodded, "Since your grandfather has already seen me, he probably won't introduce you to any more women. Then my mission is complete. By the way," Natalie looked at the bracelet on her wrist and continued, "This bracelet is too expensive. I absolutely cannot accept it. I'll return it to you when I get back."
Remington's eyes fell on Natalie's wrist.
Her pale skin matched the jade bracelet particularly well.
He smiled. "No need, you look good with it on."
"No, I can't accept it. It's too valuable," Natalie was very determined.
"We'll talk about it later. Let's go downstairs and have breakfast, and..." Remington paused for a moment, then continued, " Is it because of Tobias that you're in such a rush to go back?"
Natalie's breathing stopped.
After a moment, she licked her dry lips. "I really didn't want to see him. Besides, we were just acting anyway. There's no need to stay for long. As long as your grandfather saw me, that's all that matters."
A faint expression flashed in Remington's eyes, as if a swallow's tail cut across the water, and soon disappeared.
"Good, it's better to go back and save yourself the trouble." After a while, Remington answered indifferently.
No trace of emotion could be heard in his tone.
Natalie nodded.
Downstairs, the dining table was laid full with a scrumptious, hearty breakfast.
Different styles of breakfast food and assortments could be seen.
Peter was a very eccentric old man.
Normal people would only choose one style when they have their breakfast.
Except Peter, he preferred French breakfast served with English breakfast.
Natalie was taking small sips of mushroom soup.
The mushroom soup was creamy and delicious.
"Grandpa, I have something to tell you."
Remington suddenly spoked up.
Peter looked up, some bread crumbs still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Natalie and I will go back to later. Since you have seen your granddaughter- in- law, you don't have to worry about the future." Remington said.
Natalie wondered if her eyes were playing tricks. After Remington finished his words, she saw Peter's eyes dart towards Tobias' direction.
As for Tobias's reaction, Natalie had zero intention of knowing.
"Oh," Peter answered vaguely through a chewed mouth, "It¹ s good to leave. Saves you from being missed."
His words had a profound meaning.
Hearing this, Remington narrowed his eyes.
On the other hand, Natalie felt a little puzzled.
Did Peter seemed to know something?
She was not sure.
After a moment, Natalie dismissed the thought from her mind. She didn't think about it any longer. She shouldn't think about it that much.
Anyway, she would leave soon, she had done Remington a favor. In the future, these things were not her concern.
When Selina heard that Natalie and Remington were going to leave, she was greatly relieved as well.
She subconsciously stole a glance at Tobias.
The look on Tobias's face was hard to decipher.
Selina was nervous, her heart pounding." Will Tobias follow Natalie out?" She thought to herself.
"Master, Miss Lucy is here to see you." Watson came over, bent down, and said to Peter in a monotonous tone.
Peter immediately put down his cutlery, his eyes lighting up. "Oh, there's my dear Lucy. Quick, bring her over to join us for breakfast."
His words and excited behavior showed his love for Lucy clearly.
Selina felt like fainting.
It was going to be a mess.
Lucy often came visiting at the Whitlock house. Although she did not marry Tobias, she visited Peter frequently because Peter liked Lucy so much.
