Chapter 18
Even though Madison was ignorant, she could still see that the man in front of her was graceful and had a noble aura.
He looked like he had wealth at his fingertips.
Madison came to a conclusion.
If he could offer the same amount of money as offered by the Lanes family, she had no problems marrying Natalie to this man.
Madison stretched her palm in his face and declared, "Five hundred thousand dollars! You have to pay five hundred thousand dollars to marry my daughter."
She looked at Tobias' face with some anticipation. After all, five hundred thousand dollars was not a small number.
Tobias wasn't fazed at all, and his voice was clear but cold. "My assistant will pay you that amount. I'm taking Natalie away now."
This man had an assistant working for him! He was a rich man after all!
Madison was over the moon!
"Take her, take her. No problem at all." Madison couldn't hide her excitement.
Tobias glanced at Madison coldly and pulled Natalie away.
Natalie was shivering with cold, but the heater in his Aston Martin gradually warmed her up.
However, her body was still trembling.
The blanket that Tobias brought was somehow able to wrap around Natalie's slender body perfectly.
Natalie only had her head poking out from the blanket, looking delicate and charming. Her face was only the size of his palm and her eyes were watery.
"Thank you." said Natalie solemnly.
After all, it was Tobias who had saved her just now. Otherwise, she would be lying on the operating table now if Madison and Brayden had gotten their way.
"You don't have to thank me." Tobias said lightly, "After all, I was the reason she forced this operation on you in the first place."
He stared at Natalie for a while. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
This girl looked pure and innocent.
It was only now that he realized that this girl was not the type to concern herself with unpleasant worldly affairs.
How did he misunderstand her and assume that such a girl was plotting against him in the beginning?
Especially with Madison's words substantiating the truth just now, he suddenly realized that Natalie had never lied to him from the beginning.
It was his own self-righteousness that resulted in Natalie losing her virginity.
"I owe you this one," Tobias said apologetically. "It's fine." Natalie smiled at Tobias.
She thought, "If it wasn't for him, I would have sacrificed myself to that fool."
"Compared to a fool, Tobias was the better choice."
"After all, this man had an attractive face and a good figure. I didn't suffer any losses at all in this respect."
Natalie tried her best to comfort herself.
All these years, she had developed a steely determination from the hardships befalling her. Otherwise, she would not be able to survive in these trying times.
"Are you really alright?"
"Yeah." Natalie replied with certainty.
Tobias suddenly reached out his hand and pinched Natalie's plump cheek. "If you're really fine, then why is your smile uglier than your crying face?"
The temperature of the man's fingers seemed to burn Natalie, so she shrank back slightly at his touch.
Tobias looked at Natalie thoughtfully.
"Don't stare at me like that. My face will turn red," Natalie murmured.
"And why is that?" Tobias raised his eyebrows.
"Of course I'll blush. After all, who can stand such a handsome man staring at them?" Natalie replied seriously.
Tobias had just rescued her, and Natalie suddenly felt that her savior was less annoying now. Now that she had ripped off that veil of disgust initially shrouding her eyes, she couldn't help discovering his strong points, one of them being his handsome appearance.
Tobias's eyes didn't move, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Let's get married," Tobias suddenly said.
Natalie was shocked. She initially thought that Tobias was declaring their marriage at the spur of the moment to shut Madison up, but she didn't expect that he was being serious.
