But Jadiel soon realized what was going on.
Such a distinguished gentleman must take very good care of himself. Thus, it was entirely possible that he might have gotten some blood replacements or the sort done. It made sense for him to look young.
Weren't there a lot of male celebrities nowadays that would also keep their appearance up in such ways? So much so that they were deemed ageless, looking as youthful as young men half their age.
Jadiel walked up to him excitedly and said, "Nice to meet you, Uncle."
Tobias's footsteps came to a halt.
He looked at Jadiel, who was about the same age as him. He wondered if there was something wrong with his own hearing.
As he got closer, Jadiel could feel Tobias's strong, majestic aura radiating off him.
An unbearable excitement surged inside Jadiel, his heart soaring.
Although he was highly educated, he could not fully utilize his abilities because he was not from a strong background.
If he could get close to such a man and even marry his daughter, Jadiel s future would certainly be ten times more promising.
Jadiel's expression became more respectful, "Uncle, I really like your daughter. Please give me a chance. I will take good care of your daughter and love her dearly."
This time, Tobias heard it all clearly.
A dark cloud fell on his chiseled, perfect features.
He shot a glance at Natalie, who was sitting there with a look of horror, and the corners of his mouth turned up coldly.
Daughter!
Tobias went over to Natalie, and Jadiel followed behind him like a lackey.
"Natalie, your father is here," Jadiel announced dutifully.
Tobias felt as if he was about to turn to stone.
Natalie, too, was frozen in shock.
What was Jadiel talking about?
"Natalie Godfrey!" Tobias hissed, gritting his teeth.
Natalie could not utter a single word.
Oh, no. Did the big boss misunderstand something? Did he think that she told Jadiel that he was her father?
Natalie suddenly had an ominous feeling that a big disaster was going to happen.
She immediately bolted and ran.
She knew that she could not outrun him, so she intentionally went to hide in the women's restroom.
She thought that Tobias would not dare follow her inside.
Little did she know, the big boss would live up to his name. He entered the restroom as he pleased.
Natalie was now trapped inside with Tobias.
It just so happened that there was no one else inside the ladies room. Natalie did not even have anyone to call for help.
However, it would be useless even if there was someone around. With Tobias being this intimidating, who would dare help her even if she cried for help?
She heard the restroom door get locked with a click.
Though Natalie was grinning awkwardly, she was almost on the verge of tears, "Mr. Whitlock, this is the women's restroom. Don't you think that you shouldn't be in here?"
Tobias's face darkened, "Daughter?"
Panic flashed across her eyes, "Mr. Whitlock, I really don't know anything about that. That man was talking nonsense."
How would Tobias believe in Natalie's words?
At his age, if it were not for Natalie, how else could the other party mistake him for her father?
All of a sudden, Tobias propped Natalie up onto the glazed bathroom counter, his husky voice ordering, "Natalie, tell me, what is our relationship? Am I still your father?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he smashed his lips against Natalie's fiercely.
Her mind went blank in an instant.
Tobias was kissing her so aggressively, so hungrily that it felt like the air was being squeezed out of her lungs.
And it was more than a mere simple kiss.
Tobias's hands snaked possessively all over her body, leaving goosebumps on her skin wherever he touched.
Then, one of her legs was lifted up high.
Tobias held onto Natalie's chin and forced her to look into the mirror.
