Her eyes were very similar to that of Winnie's!
Could it be that Tobias found her familiar because of this similarity?
Natalie's eyelashes fluttered lightly.
She knew that asking a question like that during such a tender moment with Tobias would be an instant mood killer, but she could not hold back any longer.
She looked at Tobias anxiously. "Is it because of the connection between me and your ex-girlfriend? Is that why I looked familiar to you?"
Tobias' breathing hitched.
After a while, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Natalie, that's not it. The reason why I have feelings for you isn't because you look like her. As for the similarities the two of you share, the way I see it, both of you have nothing in common at all." "Really?" Natalie's breathing became a little faster.
"I don't lie, Natalie." He looked so open that there was no way she could doubt him.
Natalie inhaled deeply. "Okay, then. I believe you."
Tobias thought for a moment and said, "Or maybe, Natalie, it's because the two of us were destined to be together from the start, so I had a familiar feeling when we first met."
Natalie felt that what Tobias said had some sense to it.
She nodded. "Maybe that's all that it is."
In the end, their topic of conversation somehow circled back to Natalie's parentage.
Tobias told Natalie that the investigation into her parentage had been delayed because of his coma.
"But don't worry, right now, I'll focus all of my attention on looking into your parentage," Tobias said.
Natalie nodded.
Her eyes became a little dazed.
Her parentage... What was it like?
Who could her biological parents be?
Before they knew it, they had been talking for a long time.
By the time Natalie realized that she was hungry, it was already 12 o'clock.
"You haven't eaten?" Tobias' gaze fell on Natalie's stomach.
Natalie touched her belly with embarrassment. "I came here right after getting up in the morning, and then we took a nap together. Of course I haven't eaten anything."
"Then let's go eat." Tobias immediately took Natalie's hand and went to the dining table.
Meanwhile, Peter, Selina and Cecilia were already eating.
Seeing Tobias and Natalie coming over, Peter could not help but huff. "I thought you wouldn't wake up until tomorrow morning."
Natalie said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Whitlock. We overslept today."
Her tone was full of sincerity.
There was a flash of surprise in Peter's eyes.
As soon as he showed his displeasure, Natalie immediately apologized to him, proving that she did not hold anything against him for blindly standing on Yuna's side the night before.
Natalie had not become proud and arrogant after he had apologized to her, someone younger than him.
The truth was, Peter had the intention of testing the waters when he had humbled himself to apologize to her the night before.
He wanted to see if Natalie would lose sight of herself within that short time frame.
However, judging from her genuine words, she had not.
"Sit down and eat," Peter said stiffly.
The atmosphere at the dining table was decent that day. Peter did not do anything to deliberately target Natalie, and Selina made sure to liven things up.
