Apart from Natalie and Tobias, there was no one else.
Natalie knew Tobias must have arranged all this.
In the amusement park, Natalie was in low spirits.
However, Tobias insisted on bringing Natalie to go on every ride available.
From the merry-go-round to the Ferris wheel.
At the top of the Ferris wheel, Tobias suddenly gave Natalie a kiss on the lips.
His lips twisted and rubbed on hers, the kiss burning with deep attachment and passion.
Later, his lips came close to Natalie's ear, his hot breath spraying on Natalie's earlobe as he asked, "Natalie, have you ever heard of a story?"
Natalie's eyelashes trembled violently.
She stayed silent.
She knew that even if she didn't speak, Tobias would continue on.
Sure enough, Tobias continued in a low voice, "Natalie, according to a legend, if a man and a woman kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel, they'll be together forever."
Natalie's heart stopped for a second.
She looked down.
From this height, everything on the ground was like tiny ants. Never separated? That couldn't really be true, could it...
When they returned to the villa, Hayden had already fallen asleep. Cecilia was still up as usual.
Natalie wanted to talk to Cecilia in private.
She'd noticed that Tobias had been rather obstinate on this day, almost to the point of being morbid.
However, Tobias didn't give her the time to do so. He even deprived her of sleeping with Hayden on this night.
Tobias went to sleep with Natalie in his arms.
He hugged her so tightly that Natalie could not breathe.
For a good few hours, Natalie could not sleep at all, disturbed by her head full of thoughts. In the second half of the night, she had a very strange dream.
She dreamt that Tobias had turned into a huge grey wolf, and she'd turned into a tiny white rabbit.
The huge grey wolf snarfed up the tiny white rabbit.
As the wolf swallowed her up, it even said that she wouldn't be able to leave him anymore, and that she'd always be his.
When Natalie awoke from the nightmare, she was covered in a sheen of cold sweat.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that Tobias was looking at her, his eyes staring at her intently.
The sky had just started to turn bright, and Tobias' eyes were even brighter.
"You're awake?" Tobias asked adoringly.
Natalie took a deep breath.
Tobias seemed more normal now.
She asked tentatively, "Can I take a stroll around on my own today? You have to go to work anyway."
The moment she finished speaking, the expression on Tobias' face changed.
"No.” Tobias' voice took on an indifferent tone, then he kissed Natalie on the forehead. "Natalie, you have to be with me. I need you to be with me."
The obstinance and madness seemed to have returned to his tone.
Natalie did not dare to speak anymore.
When they woke up, Tobias wanted to cook breakfast for Natalie.
"Natalie, what would you like to eat?" he asked.
Natalie's mind was in a mess. "Anything is fine."
"Let me make you a sandwich." Tobias' tone was clear and gentle.
Natalie gave a careless nod.
Just like that, Tobias made a sandwich for Natalie.
Though it was just a sandwich, it still looked and tasted delicious. Hayden almost burned up with jealousy.
He pouted. "Daddy, you're so partial to Natalie. You made a sandwich for her, but you didn't make anything for me."
After saying that, he looked at Natalie sourly, "Natalie, you're really amazing. Daddy has never made breakfast for me."
