Natalie's eyes were glistening.
Sometimes, life was really full of mysteries.
Just like how she hadn't expected everything else to happen when Tobias was having breakfast here the other day.
Just like that, she and Tobias had inexplicably reconciled.
However, the truth was that they had wanted to reconcile anyway.
They just lacked the right opportunity.
They hadn't come across it for such a long time, yet it had just happened on the plane.
Natalie's smile deepened.
Just as she brought her bread and coffee to the table, James came home.
He was surprised when he saw Natalie. "Natalie, you're back."
When Natalie went to the United States to get her certificate, she knew that she would not be able to come back in a single day, so she had informed James earlier.
Natalie nodded. "Yes, and I've gotten everything straightened out. Have you eaten, Dad?"
James nodded.
Natalie smiled. "Since I've gotten my degree certificate, I can get a better job with a higher salary."
Her gaze swept over James' worn- out clothes. "And I can buy you better clothes in the future."
James was moved by her words.
Although Natalie was not his biological daughter, James knew very well that Brayden and Queenie could not compare to her. She was the one who treated him the best.
James nodded. "That's good to hear, Natalie. Things will only get better from here."
Natalie's smile deepened.
That's right, things would only get better.
Everyone's lives would improve.
Tobias returned to the villa.
Cecilia was watering the plants. She put the watering can down when she saw Tobias.
"Tobias, why have you only come home now? Have things been really hectic at the company?" Cecilia asked.
"I went to the United States," Tobias said.
"Why did you go there?"
A light flashed in Tobias' eyes. "Mother, I accompanied Natalie there to get her degree certificate reissued."
Cecilia's eyes lit up when she heard what Tobias said.
Natalie had allowed Tobias to accompany her to the United States to re- apply for her certificate. Did this mean that she had wavered?
Otherwise, why would she let Tobias accompany her?
"Tobias, has... has Natalie accepted you?" Cecilia's words were full of joy and disbelief.
Tobias' eyes were deep and serene. "She probably will soon enough."
Cecilia was a little excited. "That's good. It's best if Natalie can accept you."
Tobias suddenly thought of Peter's phone call.
He furrowed his eyebrows.
