Tobias' eyebrows furrowed immediately.
Natalie was a little confused by his reaction.
"Natalie." After a while, Tobias smiled instead.
Natalie let out a sigh of relief.
"Selina was calling you."
Tobias looked at Selina.
Before Selina could open his mouth, Hayden yelled, "Dad, Aunt said that Natalie is yours, not mine. Is that true?"
He looked desperately at Tobias.
"Yes," Tobias replied in a deep voice.
Hayden was speechless.
He was on the verge of tears. "But if Natalie is yours, I have nothing left."
Seeing Hayden's reaction, Natalie couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Stop teasing Hayden already." Natalie patted Hayden's little face. "Hayden, I'm yours too. What's more, you don't just have me. When you grow up, you'll find a woman. She will become your wife and love you for a lifetime."
Hayden was still too young. He was a little
confused.
"Then who is she? Can I meet her now?"
Natalie smiled. "Nobody knows who she is right now. But, Hayden, you will definitely understand what I'm saying when you're older. You will definitely meet a person like that."
Hayden blinked his dark, round eyes. "Really, Natalie?"
"Really," Natalie said with certainty.
Hayden would definitely experience what she and Tobias did. He would find someone who wanted nobody but him. They would love each other forever and live together happily ever after.
The only thing she hoped for was that Hayden's love life would be smooth sailing, and not as difficult as her and Tobias'.
A private jet landed on the lawn outside.
While they were walking towards the private jet, Natalie felt that something was amiss.
At the dining table, Tobias seemed to have been absent-minded the whole time. He had not said a word.
He was exactly the same right then. He frowned, seemingly preoccupied with worries.
"What's wrong, Tobias?" Natalie asked with some
concern.
"I'm fine," Tobias said in a deep voice.
Natalie did not realize that it seemed like Tobias was trying his best to endure pain while he was speaking.
When they arrived in front of the private jet, Natalie held Tobias' hand. "I have no idea what Turkey is like. I've never been there, so I don't really know if it's fun..."
Natalie froze suddenly.
Tobias shook her hand off immediately.
Natalie looked at Tobias in daze.
The emotions in her eyes made Tobias feel guilty.
"Natalie." Tobias subconsciously wanted to hug Natalie, but the moment his hand landed on Natalie's body, he would quickly flinch away as if he had been electrocuted.
Looking at Tobias, Natalie was flabbergasted.
Was her body made out of electricity? Why was Tobias reacting that way?
Tobias' face was a little pale.
He took a deep breath.
"Natalie, how about not going today?" he muttered.
Natalie was stunned.
Not going?
Why weren't they going all of a sudden?
