When Tobias saw her like that, a sudden current of heat surged in his body.
At the same time, he also felt a fit of pain in his heart.
Tobias gritted his teeth. "It's already very late, Natalie."
Natalie said in a low voice, "Either way, I can't let you sleep in the study."
In the end, Tobias compromised and went to sleep in the bedroom with Natalie.
Naturally, nothing happened. The two hugged each other and fell asleep. It was not until Natalie fell asleep that Tobias took his hand away from Natalie's waist and also put Natalie's hand away from his.
He was afraid that Natalie would wake up again, so he didn't leave and only kept a distance from her.
Even so, he still felt a sharp pain in his chest, but it was much better than when he was holding her.
Likely because of what had happened the night before, Natalie woke up a little later the next day.
By the time she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Tobias was nowhere to be seen.
Natalie rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock.
Based on the time, Tobias might have already gone to the company.
Natalie made a call to him.
The call was quickly picked up, and it was Benjamin who answered.
Benjamin said that Tobias was still in a meeting.
"As expected, he's gone to the company," Natalie thought.
"By the way, has there been a lot of work recently?" Natalie asked casually.
It had already been a few days, but Tobias hadn't taken her on their honeymoon. Instead, he was busy with the company's affairs.
On the other end, there was a flash of avoidance in Benjamin's eyes.
"Yes, that's right. The company has been busy lately." Benjamin gave a vague reply.
Natalie did not think much about it. "Then you can go ahead with your work."
After hanging up the phone, Benjamin looked at Tobias and said, "Mr. Whitlock, it's nothing much.
Miss Godfrey just casually asked if the company was very busy."
Tobias frowned.
Could it be that Natalie had already caught on...
Suddenly, the phone rang.
It was from Simon.
Tobias' eyes abruptly lit up, and he picked up the phone.
However, Simon had some bad news.
"Tobias, you have to reduce your contact with your wife as much as possible," Simon said directly.
A dim light glinted in Tobias' eyes.
Of course he knew that he had to minimize contact with Natalie. Otherwise, his heart would be in great pain,
However, it was impossible for him to do so!
Just like what happened the night before when Natalie pitifully stood at the door of the study. How could he refuse to sleep together with her?
"I can endure a regular amount of pain," Tobias said.
Simon's tone suddenly becomes serious. "Tobias, if you and your wife keep coming into contact with each other, the pain in your heart will increase in severity. When the time comes, it will hurt to a point where you will never be able to recover from it. Even when you are far apart from her, you will still be able to feel intense pain."
Tobias stiffened all of a sudden.
"Is there any other way?" he asked urgently.
"Not yet. Tobias, you have to find Remington as soon as possible," Simon told him.
A cold look flashed across Tobias' eyes. "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Tobias' gaze fell on Benjamin's face. "Have you found out about Remington's whereabouts?"
Benjamin's tone soured. "We haven't found anything yet, Mr. Whitlock."
An icy glint flared in Tobias' eyes. "Get everyone we have to investigate Remington's whereabouts. We must find him within a week!"
After Natalie ended the call, she went to wash up. When she went downstairs, she saw Cecelia, who had just sent Hayden to kindergarten.
Natalie was quite embarrassed.
Sending Hayden to kindergarten was supposed to be her responsibility as a mother. However, she seemed to be always waking up late, and it somehow became Cecelia's responsibility to send
