Tobias had a smile in his eyes. "Only after I saw the video did I realize that my Natalie isn't someone who would let people bully her. She even has claws of her own."
The video clearly showed that although Yuna mocked Natalie, she did not have the upper hand. On the contrary, Natalie enraged her to the point where her face turned white as a sheet.
Natalie's eyes gleamed. "I've never been someone easy to bully."
"Natalie, you've had it tough." Tobias became serious after remembering something. "Grandpa doing this has really put you in a tough spot."
Natalie shook her head. "I don't feel that way. As long as you're here, I don't feel that way."
Tobias grabbed Natalie's hand. "Natalie, I'd like to apologize to you on Grandpa's behalf."
Natalie smiled. "It's okay. Besides, your grandfather has already apologized to me, right?"
Although that was the case, Tobias still felt that it was still unfair to her.
He held on to Natalie's hand tightly.
She said in a cheerful tone, "I'm really fine. Don't think too much about it. It's already impressive enough that your grandfather could apologize to someone younger than him at an age like that. I'm already very satisfied, Tobias."
Tobias' eyes flashed.
When evening came, Tobias asked Natalie to sleep first.
She agreed obediently.
She knew that Tobias must have gone to look for Peter.
Peter definitely would feel upset over being forced to apologise to her in front of everyone, so Tobias would have to console him.
Thinking of this, an unspeakable feeling surfaced in Natalie's heart.
She knew that Tobias greatly respected Peter.
Yet, for her sake, he had asked his own grandfather to make a public apology.
He really did care about her...
Thinking of this, Natalie dazedly slipped into unconsciousness.
She had initially planned to wait until Tobias came back so that they could sleep together, but she could not withstand her exhaustion any longer. She ended up going to sleep first.
The moment her eyes closed, she stayed asleep for a long time.
When Natalie woke up, it was already bright outside.
When she subconsciously looked to her side, she found that it was empty, and neither was there any trace of someone having slept there.
There was a flash of astonishment in her eyes.
Could it be that Tobias had not returned to sleep last night, and had talked to Peter until dawn?
Natalie hurriedly got out of bed.
After washing up, she happened to meet Cecilia on the stairs.
"Morning, Auntie." Natalie greeted Cecilia.
Cecilia smiled. "You're awake, Natalie. You must have slept well last night."
When she brought up what had happened last night, Natalie was a little embarrassed.
"Auntie, so many things happened last night because of me." Although everything was part of Yuna's plan, it was also because she had been too foolish.
If she had ignored Yuna and not gone to the garden, such a thing would not have happened.
"What are you talking about? How can I blame you? It's Yuna's fault." Cecilia let out a subtle sigh.
"I misjudged Yuna as well. I thought that she was a sensible girl. I didn't expect that...
She paused for a while and then said, "You had it tough."
