There would come a day when Hayden's biological mother and Tobias reconciled, and they would live happily ever after.
Natalie reassured herself.
She packed up a few of her personal items into her bag.
As she walked out of the villa, Selina called her from behind. "Natalie, my mom went shopping for some food ingredients. She didn't trust the maid, so she insisted on buying them herself. She said she'll cook something delicious for you later."
Natalie felt a lump forming in her throat.
She was afraid that she won't be able to taste Cecelia's cooking anymore.
"I won't be coming home for dinner, Selina," she said.
Selina was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Are you going out with my brother for dinner? That's okay then. You two enjoy!"
Natalie smiled bitterly inside.
She wanted to explain that she wasn't going out with Tobias for dinner.
However, she was afraid that if she explained too much, she would be bombarded with questions. She would not be able to leave then.
It was better to take off without a word.
As soon as she walked out of the villa, her phone notification rang. It was a text message.
"Are you up? Remember to eat breakfast."
It was from Tobias.
Natalie's eyes stung a little.
She deleted the text swiftly.
Natalie chose to have dinner at a quiet Chinese restaurant.
As she ate, she wondered about the identity of the man she used to be with.
She must find this man and ask him what really happened between them in the past.
Natalie believed that they must have been very close. After all, she was willing to lose her virginity to him.
He might even be someone she still kept in touch with after she became an amnesiac.
A name suddenly popped up in her mind.
Remington Whitlock!
Could Remington be the man she used to date?
Besides, he had told her that she once paid his grandfather a visit at his house. Was he hinting at something?
Natalie's chest heaved.
Everything seemed to fit together.
Ever since she woke up from her coma, she had been pestered by Remington's presence. He made it obvious that he was trying to pursue her, and he had been so kind and gentle to her.
If nothing was going on between them, why would he treat her like this?
Natalie was almost convinced her assumptions were true.
She must have dated Remington in the past, and she had lost her virginity to him.
She pulled out her phone frantically.
She had to call Remington to confirm her guess.
She wanted to find out what had happened between them in the past.
After scrolling through her contact list, Natalie was devastated to find out that she had already deleted his contact.
She could not find any information about him on social media, either.
Her grip on the phone tightened.
She must get in touch with Remington, no matter what.
Fortunately, she still remembered the address of his company.
That afternoon, Natalie headed straight to Remington's workplace.
She was greeted by a grumpy receptionist as soon as she stepped inside the building. The receptionist rolled her eyes in annoyance, ignoring Natalie's request to see Remington.
Remington was an attractive man. Hence many fangirls would flock to the company to see him in person.
The receptionist lady thought that Natalie was one of them.
Natalie tried her best to explain, but it was to no avail.
"Miss, our boss is too busy to tend to insignificant people. Besides, he is not in office now." The receptionist lady gave a dismissive wave.
Natalie stared skywards and let out a desperate sigh.
Just when she was about to give up, she spotted a man walking out of the elevator.
Immediately, her eyes lit up.
She remembered the man. His name was Yeason.
He was Remington's friend.
