Chapter 233
The agreement she had with Tobias was an accident.
At that time, she thought that she had simply stopped Cecilia from forcing Tobias into marriage.
At the same time, Tobias provided her with a place to stay and she could also successfully graduate from Agaphen University.
She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
When she realized that she had fallen in love with Tobias, she began to guess his thoughts and wanted to know how he felt.
Natalie was happy when Tobias confessed to her that he liked her.
She was extremely excited and contended.
Later on, she felt that him liking her was not enough; she wanted him to love her too.
If they were going to be a married couple, she didn't want her husband to only like her. She wanted her husband to love her exceptionally.
She didn't care if others thought that she was greedy or dissatisfied; she just wanted it.
When Tobias refused to tell her that he loved her, she was sad and disappointed.
Natalie took a deep breath before she looked at Cecilia and said, "Mom, I know that Tobias is a very responsible man."
Before she and Tobias fell in love with each other, there was a time when she suspected that she was pregnant.
During that time, Tobias told her that if she was really pregnant, he would be responsible for her and treat her as his true wife.
From then on, she knew that this man must be a very responsible man, so she didn't need Cecilia to tell her this.
Natalie paused for a while and continued, "But I not only want him to be responsible, I also want him to love me with all his heart."
She did not know how she got the courage to tell Cecilia the truth.
Cecilia's eyes flickered.
"Natalie, I can tell you with certainty that Tobias likes you, so I can promise you this."
Natalie's heart stopped for a second.
She answered bitterly, "Mom, he just likes me, but he doesn't love me. He wasn't even willing to lie to me and say that he loves me."
Tobias refused to say that he loved her, so how could she believe that he did?
Cecilia was slightly taken back.
A few blurred memories flashed through her mind.
Cecilia was silent and so was Natalie. The two of them walked silently and slowly.
"Natalie," after a long time, Cecilia spoke again and she stopped walking.
Natalie stopped and looked at her.
Cecilia said, "Natalie, love is what you feel in your heart, not just words. I have been in love with my husband for a lifetime. He is a man with dignity and he rarely talks. He has never told me that he loves me, but I can feel it from his actions. Do you understand what I mean?"
A ripple of emotion stirred in Natalie's heart.
Cecilia raised her hand and placed it over Natalie's heart and said, "Natalie, feel it with your heart and ask yourself if Tobias loves you or not. As I said, love is not just words. Perhaps he's like his father who doesn't like to express his feelings, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you."
Natalie blinked her eyes repeatedly.
She remembered that Tobias was indeed a very cold man, but when he talked to her, he was flirtatious and sweet.
Natalie was confused.
Due to Cecilia's words, she felt that she didn't know what to do.
"Promise me that you'll think about it yourself, Natalie." Cecilia looked at Natalie with a gentle expression.
Natalie had no choice but to nod.
The day passed quickly.
In the morning, Cecilia was chatting with Natalie, whereas in the afternoon, Selina joined their conversation.
In the end, the conversation turned into a brainwashing session.
Cecilia and Selina tried to brainwash Natalie.
They attempted to persuade Natalie that Tobias loved her very much, that he just did not know how to express his feelings.
The more Natalie listened to Cecilia, the more confused she got.
"Mom, Selina, I need some space, okay?" Natalie could not stand the conversation anymore.
Cecilia smiled and said, "Natalie, have a good rest. I will go back by plane in the evening."
There was a flash of astonishment in Natalie's eyes as she asked, "Mom, you're leaving so soon?"
Cecilia arrived in the morning so Natalie thought that she would stay for the night. She didn't expect Cecilia to leave so soon.
"Yes, I have a lot of things to deal with." Cecilia smiled.
A sense of guilt arose in Natalie.
She thought, "Cecilia is so busy! She must have rushed to Agaphen City for me and now she even has to hurry back!"
It was all Natalie's fault; she was too stubborn.
When Tobias refused to tell her that he loved her, she ran away and caused so much unnecessary trouble. Now, Cecilia even traveled here for her sake!
Natalie felt that she was being unreasonable this time.
She was someone who hated unreasonable people, yet she had become the type of person she disliked.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mom," Natalie looked at Cecilia and said in a guilty tone.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Cecilia patted Natalie's head and said, "Natalie, you're my daughter-in-law. I see you as my own daughter, so it's nothing."
Natalie felt a warmth in her heart.
Cecilia had said, "I see you as my own daughter".
How could Natalie be so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law?
Selina leaned her head on Cecilia's shoulder and said, "Mom, you can't forget me just because you have Natalie as your daughter!"
Cecilia burst into laughter. "You're both my daughters."
Cecilia left and brought Selina with her.
She was afraid that Selina would disturb Natalie, so she asked Selina to leave with her.
When they left, the large Whitlock family's apartment suddenly became cold and quiet.
Aunt Lee liked to chat with other people, so after she cooked the meal and cleaned the house, she would go shopping and visit her friends.
Natalie took out a bag of potato chips.
She stuffed one into her mouth and said, "Tobias loves me."
Then, she put another one into her mouth and said, "Tobias doesn't love me."
She went on and on until the potato chips were almost finished.
She was frustrated and threw the potato chips onto the sofa.
She thought, "Natalie! Didn't we agree not to be unreasonable? Why are you being unreasonable again?" "Mom, I remember that I have something else to do. You go to the airport first and I won't see you off." Selina was afraid that Cecilia would bring her along, so she hurried to run away.
Cecilia looked at Selina helplessly and said, "If you have something to do, go ahead and leave."
As soon as Cecilia finished, Selina disappeared in an instant.
Cecilia laughed.
After a while, Cecilia appeared in YS Group.
"Mr. Whitlock, Madam Lawson is here," Benjamin entered Tobias' office and informed him.
A trace of surprise flashed across Tobias's face.
