Chapter 279
"Winnie, if I think she is worthy, then she is," Tobias said.
His tone was firm and every word he said was like a knife stabbing her heart.
Winnie's face turned pale.
She looked at Tobias. "Tobias, do you really like her that much?"
"Yes," Tobias answered.
Suddenly, Winnie felt that she could not stand still.
"What about me? What am I to you?" Winnie asked.
"Winnie, we broke up a few years ago," Tobias replied.
"Tobias, you've never left my mind and I have never forgotten about you. You should know that I have always wanted to be with you again," Winnie said.
There were no emotions in Tobias' eyes as he said, "Winnie, you will only bring trouble to yourself like this."
Winnie bit her lower lip and her eyes became teary again.
This man was so cold and indifferent.
He was the same as always. Apart from providing warmth to the woman he loved, he treated every other woman coldly.
Back then, she was so happy.
She never expected this to happen.
His feelings were so deep and ingrained, but at the same time, they were so shallow too.
When he loved someone, he would pamper her and give her everything she asked for. He would love her more than he loved himself.
But, if he stopped loving her.
Then she would be nothing to him. There wouldn't be any difference between her and the dirt he stepped on.
She never thought that he would one day treat her as coldly as he treated other women.
He was so cold that she felt as if she was going to freeze.
The dampness in Winnie's eyes turned to tears.
She looked at Tobias, and her long eyelashes trembled and covered her teary eyes. She said, "Tobias, give me one last chance to explain to you what happened in the past. Can you please make a decision after you
hear my explanation? Back then, that man and I..."
"Mr. Whitlock," someone suddenly said. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He came in a hurry and when he entered, he realized that Winnie was there.
"What?" Tobias said as his gaze fell on Benjamin's face.
Benjamin had no choice but to say, "Mr. Whitlock, Miss Godfrey has left Agaphen City. She got into Mr. Remington's car which headed towards Lincon City."
At this moment, Tobias' face darkened. Three dark lines could be seen over his head. It brought a hint of abnormality to his handsomeness.
He got off the bed and said with a tone that was colder than ice, as if a storm was brewing, "Prepare a car to depart from Agaphen City now."
When he got out of bed, Tobias was somewhat unsteady. Benjamin quickly went over to support him. He said, "Mr. Whitlock, the doctor said that you have to stay in bed. How about I go and find her? You should stay in the hospital as you have not recovered yet." "I need to go there myself," Tobias said with a sharp and indifferent tone.
Benjamin could tell that Tobias was determined. However, his body was not strong enough for long travels yet.
He gritted his teeth hard and said, "Mr. Whitlock, you really can't go. You..."
"If you keep persuading me, then you might as well just resign," Tobias threatened as he interrupted Benjamin coldly.
Benjamin dared not say anything else.
Winnie, who was beside him, opened her eyes wide in shock.
She did not know what happened, but she knew that Tobias was seriously injured. How could he leave the hospital for Natalie? Not even his subordinate's persuasion could do anything.
Could Natalie be more important to him than his own health?
She stood there in shock.
Natalie felt a splitting headache.
In the midst of the chaos, she suddenly opened her eyes.
She woke up in a strange place.
Natalie looked for a long time before she could tell that she was in a luxurious hotel room.
Why was she in a hotel?
Natalie suddenly thought of something.
Some memories formed in her mind. She got into Remington's car the previous day, and he brought her to this city. Afterwards, he brought her for a drink.
She seemed to have drunk a lot, so she could not remember anything after that.
Natalie had such a great headache that it felt like her mind was going to explode.
She felt that her body was frozen, as if she was in an ice cave.
Did Remington really do something to her?
Natalie was in such a mess that she wanted to combust.
At the same time, the door of the suite opened and Remington entered.
Natalie glared hard at Remington, as if she was going to stare at him so hard that a hole would pierce through his body.
Remington smiled and his eyes formed the shape of crescents. He asked, "Natalie, why are you looking at me like that?"
Anger filled her mind. She pointed at him and her eyes got teary. "You, did you do that?"
Her voice was trembling and she could not bring herself to finish the sentence.
"Yes, Natalie. Your thoughts are precisely correct," he said. He smiled slightly and his eyes were bright as if there were stars in them.
Natalie's mind was blown.
What happened between her and Remington?
Did they do that when they were drunk?
A tense atmosphere could be felt right away.
How could she be so confused as to do that? How could she get drunk with a man?
Natalie's eyes immediately became wet. Tears slowly formed and they finally came sliding down her face.
When he saw her cry, Remington got serious.
He was only joking with Natalie, but he did not expect her to cry immediately.
A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
Did Natalie really detest him so much?
She immediately cried when she misunderstood the things that happened between them.
Seeing her tears drip down faster and faster, Remington finally said, "Natalie, I am such a serious man, so of course nothing happened between us."
He hid his unhappiness and his tone reverted to the rambling and lazy one he usually used.
Natalie suddenly stopped breathing.
After a moment, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Remington. She asked, "Are you telling me the truth?"
Reflective lights could be seen in her eyes.
"Of course. Can't you feel it yourself?" Remington said as he looked at Natalie meaningfully.
She tried her best to control her emotions.
It seemed like nothing unusual happened to her body.
This was not her first time. She knew that she would feel discomfort or pain since she had once done it with Tobias.
This meant that Remington did not lie to her.
"Miss Natalie, you are very lucky to be able to meet such a gentleman," Remington said helplessly.
Remington had never been a gentleman, but he never thought that he would become one for Natalie.
At this moment, Natalie discovered something.
Her face was pale with fear.
"My clothes, why are my clothes different?" She realized that the clothes she was wearing were different; it was a new set of pajamas.
"Remington, don't tell me that you changed me!" Natalie scolded. Her gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to pierce through Remington.
"What if I was the one who changed you?" Remington said. He smiled and his eyes were curved into crescents.
"Then I'll gouge your eyes out and go to jail!" Natalie said seriously.
