Tobias' eyes turned gloomy as he looked at Natalie. "Natalie, you said you went to a hot spring and rested in the Four Seasons Hotel?" Natalie bit her lip.
After a moment, she decided to tell the truth. "Yes, I lied to you! I didn't go to any hot spring nor the Four Seasons Hotel. Since you didn't want to bringto North Europe, I decided to just go there myself!" After she finished, she looked at Tobias.
She thought that Tobias would be displeased and angry.
After all, she had lied to him.
However, he wasn't.
Complicated emotions were written all over Tobias' face.
After a while, he embraced Natalie.
His warmth engulfed her.
Tobias spoke slowly in a resigned tone, saying, "Natalie, do you know what day it was yesterday? It was our first encounter in the hotel, many years n ago.
Natalie was startled.
Tobias continued, "You toldthat you were in room 302 of the Four Seasons Hotel, so I went there, but it wasn't you who opened the door. I went to the front desk to check, but you weren't around. I called you, but it didn't go through. Only when I got someone to investigate did I find out that you were on a flight back." His voice was full of weariness and helplessness.
A sense of guilt arose in Natalie.
She had forgotten that the day before was the anniversary of their first meeting. She also had no idea that Tobias would look for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie lowered her eyes as she apologised, "I'm sorry, Tobias." Her voice was soft. She really shouldn't have lied to Tobias.
"Natalie," Tobias murmured in a low voice. "It's my fault. You wanted to find out more about your identity, but I stopped you. That's my fault." Natalie's eyes lit up with hope because of Tobias' words. "Then can you taketo see the man named Santiago?" Tobias' body stiffened.
After a while, he let go of Natalie and said, "Natalie, let's go hand rest." Natalie's eyes darkened.
Why was Tobias willing to compromise with her in every single thing except this? At the Whitlock family house in the United States.
Cecilia thought that it was strange. Why were Remington and Hayden constantly together nowadays? Even though she didn't understand Remington very well, she knew that he wasn't the type of man who liked kids a lot, not to mention having the patience to play with one. Initially, she felt a little worried.
After all, she knew a little about his past feelings for Natalie.
However, later on, Cecilia was relieved.
Now that Natalie and Tobias were getting married soon, no matter what Remington may feel towards Natalie, he should keep himself in check.
She knew that Remington had always been a clever man.
As for Remington patiently playing with Hayden right now, Cecilia believed that it was merely because Hayden was Remington's nephew. Meanwhile, Remington was playing basketball with Hayden.
Of course, it was basically only Remington playing while Hayden watched.
Whenever Remington made a shot, Hayden's eyes would light up with admiration.
"Uncle Remington, you're so cool!" Hayden exclaimed in admiration when Remington successfully shot a ball into the hoop.
Remington smiled.
He sat down next to Hayden and asked, "Do you think I'm good at basketball?" Hayden nodded his head furiously. "You're amazing at basketball, Uncle! If my girl classmates watched you play, they would totally gossip about marrying you. Uncle, you're the best." Remington smiled. "Actually, I'm not the best at playing basketball. There's someone way better than me." Hayden's eyes widened. "Really?" He couldn't believe that there was someone on this earth who was better at basketball than Remington.
In Hayden's eyes, Remington was already the world's best basketball player! "It's your grandma's father. He's the true master of basketball." Hayden's eyes immediately sparkled. "Then can I see him? I want to watch him play basketball." Remington's eyes flickered. S~EaRch the Find NøvelWebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Then I'll ask Grandma to bringto see him. I want to learn how to play basketball from him." Remington suddenly turned towards Hayden and uttered, "Hayden, don't ask your grandma, ask your mom to bring you. Your grandma is very busy taking care of your grandpa." Hayden didn't think too much about it.
During this period of time, Remington had been keeping him company, so he completely viewed Remington as his most beloved uncle.
Hearing Remington's words, he obediently did as he said and took out his phone to call Natalie.
At the Whitlock family villa in Agaphen City.
Tobias went to the kitchen to prepare sfood for Natalie.
Meanwhile, Natalie sat in the living room, biting her fingernails.
Heaven knows how bored she was to end up doing something as dull as biting her fingernails.
Ever since she had cback from North Europe, her thoughts were hazy.
Rather, ever since she found out about her identity, her thoughts had been muddled.
She felt as if she was floating in the clouds. She had no idea what she was doing or thinking. Everything felt unrealistic to her. While Natalie was lost in her thoughts, the phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from the Whitlock family hin the United States. Natalie could pretty much guess that it was Hayden.

"Hayden." After answering the phone, Hayden called Natalie's nsweetly.
"Natalie, can you promisesomething?" Hayden immediately made a request.
She felt a little helpless.
The first thing he did when he called was to make a request.
"Alright, tellthen." "I want to play basketball with the world's most amazing basketball player!" Hayden said excitedly.
The world's most amazing basketball player...
Although Natalie didn't know much about basketball, she she knew that the world's most amazing basketball player was probably an NBA star. "You want to watch an NBA game? Then we'll bring you there next time," said Natalie.
Hayden immediately refused. "I don't want to watch the NBA. They aren't the most amazing." "Ah, then who could be more amazing?" "Grandma's dad is the real, most amazing basketball player!" Hayden exclaimed proudly. Natalie was speechless.
Hayden's grandmother's father would be Cecilia's father.
At his age, he probably couldn't even carry a basketball, let alone play it.
"Don't mess around anymore, Hayden." Natalie couldn't help but reprimand him.
"I'm not fooling around, Natalie. Grandma's father can play basketball with me," replied Hayden seriously.
In a resigned tone, Natalie said, "Hayden, you've never even met your grandma's father. You don't even know who he is, how would you know he can play basketball?" "Of course I know," Hayden responded smugly. "Who said that I don't know who he is? His nis Santiago Lawson. See, Natalie, I know him."
