"Get in the car," Peter ordered somewhat impatiently.
Natalie frowned a little, but she suppressed her emotions and got in.
The car stopped in front of a restaurant.
Natalie followed Peter inside.
The waiter handed over the menu, which pretty much consisted of only desserts and tea.
Natalie handed the menu to Peter. "Mr. Whitlock, what would you like to eat?" Peter's tone was harsh. "I like everything that you don't!" Natalie was speechless.
She didn't know what to say.
Sitting across her, Peter urged impatiently, "See what you want and place your order. Make it quick." Of course, it wasn't that Natalie did not have a temper, but Peter was Tobias' grandfather. Not to mention, he was also at such an age. No matter how unhappy Natalie was, she could not do anything but suppress it. She ordered sdesserts and tea, all of which suited the taste palette of the elderly.
The restaurant was very efficient. It didn't take long to serve the dishes quickly.
Although Peter had brought Natalie to a restaurant, he seemed to have no intentions for Natalie to eat in peace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as the food was served, he said frostily, "So how much do you want before you're willing to leave Tobias?" Natalie was speechless.
She looked at Peter in shock, her eyes widening.
Natalie remembered that someone else had once asked her the squestion as well - how much she needed to leave Tobias.
Natalie lowered her gaze, her thick eyelashes forming shadows on her cheeks.
"Mr. Whitlock." Natalie's voice was soft yet firm. "Since I've decided to be with Tobias, I won't leave with just money. I don't want your money at all." This time, she was determined to be with Tobias. Her days had passed in torment when Tobias had let her go the last time. She'd truly regretted her decision.
Unfortunately, people would only know how to cherish something after losing it. They always lacked forethought. The current Natalie did not want to experience the pain of loss any longer.
Now that she and Tobias had let everything out in the open, their future was bright.
She didn't want to be bothered by other things. All she wanted was for the three of them to be together, as a proper family.
Peter sneered at Natalie. "I guess that's right. An ambitious woman like yourself can't be sent away with just money. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten both my grandsons twisted around your little finger." Natalie's breath hitched.
She realized something.
No wonder Peter acted like he was so disgusted with her all of a sudden. No wonder he wanted her to leave Tobias.
It turned out that he thought that... Natalie took a deep breath.
She couldn't blhim. She'd acted too impulsively and pretended to be Remington's fiancee when she went to the United States with him.
Natalie looked at Peter, her eyes full of sincerity.
"Mr. Whitlock, it's not what you think. At that time, you kept urging Remington to get married, and he was pretty distressed by it. So he askedto pretend to be his fiancee and csee you so that you wouldn't nag him about it." Her explanation only caused the fury in Peter's eyes to burn even stronger.
He raised his voice. "You're still trying to fool me? Remington's not an idiot. He wouldn't have brought you to seeif there wasn't anything between the two of you. Why would he get his own sister-in-law to pretend to be his fiancee when he could have just found any other woman?" Peter spat out, "You were already with Tobias at that tand you'd already had Hayden, yet you were still getting mixed up with Remington. I should praise you for being a multitasker!" Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Peter already knew that she was Hayden's mother? Because of what Peter just said, she suddenly beca little flustered.
Natalie had wanted to tell Peter that this was not the case. She'd gotten into a fight with Tobias at that time, and subconsciously wanted to provoke him. That was why she had gone with Remington to the United States.
But she swallowed these words of hers.
If she said this aloud, Peter would probably think that she was a careless woman, and it would make him angrier. Natalie's eyelashes trembled. "Mr. Whitlock, it's really not what you think." Peter snorted heavily. "I see you're still lying. Not only did you seduce Tobias, but even had an ambiguous relationship with Remington, causing him to run off to the Amazon Jungle and almost losing his life. You're a wonderful schemer!" Natalie took a deep breath. "Mr. Whitlock, if I'm as complicated as you said, I wouldn't need to get myself involved with Remington after already getting together with Tobias. Wouldn't I just be making trouble for myself?" Peter was stunned for a second.
After a moment, he barked impatiently, "No matter what you say, it's useless. I forbid you to be with Tobias!" He hated Natalie from the bottom of his heart and had already decided that Natalie was not a good woman. So now, no matter what Natalie said or did, it was all wrong to Peter.
Natalie's tone turned firm. "Mr. Whitlock, Tobias and I are truly in love with each other. We won't separate just because you want us to!" Peter was so enraged that he slammed a hand onto the table. "How dare you! You're threateningwith Tobias!" "No, I respect you, sir." Natalie looked into Peter's eyes and continued, "But please respectas well." Her words were clear and firm, and she was neither humble nor overbearing.

He looked Natalie up and down. After a while, he suddenly took out a photo and said, "Do you see this girl? She's attractive and comes from a good family. Only a girl like this deserves to be with Tobias. I only approve of girls like her." Natalie's eyes fell on the photo.
The girl in the photo was smiling, and she looked a little familiar.
Natalie recognized her. It was the girl that she had misunderstood to be Tobias' new lover.
Natalie thought of something.
She looked at Peter and said sincerely, "Mr. Whitlock, no doubt this lady is wonderful, but it's just you that likes her right? Tobias doesn't like her. Otherwise, he would have gotten together with this girl a long tago. There wouldn't be a need for you to do anything." Peter felt embarrassment creep upon him.
His expression turned slightly awkward, and he was secretly shocked by how complex Natalie was.
Peter gave a heavy huff.
Of course, he had a hundred ways to deal with Natalie. For example, he could just get someone to throw her into the ocean, or he could get En someone to disappear from this world with just a snap of his fingers.
That way, Tobias would definitely give up on her. But he had his limits.
Peter wouldn't stoop to that level.
He stood up and gave Natalie a long look. "Natalie Godfrey, right? Mark my words, you'll never be with Tobias. Your relationship will never be blessed." Hot Singles Are Looking For Deepen Older Men ingles on CouldSee! Registration Is Free!
