Chapter 316
She recalled what had happened previously. Because of her lack of composure, she caused a lot of trouble for Tobias.
If she lost her temper now, would she cause more trouble for him?
Tobias said in a lower tone, "Natalie, can you give me a chance to explain?"
Natalie took a deep breath and said, "Don't tell me anything right now. I'm not in the mood to listen."
There was a hint of helplessness on Tobias' handsome face. "Then tell me, when will you be in the mood to listen?"
Natalie bit her lips. "Let me be alone for a while. Let me calm myself down first."
Her mind was in a mess at that moment.
She did not want to get into trouble because she lost her composure.
Natalie looked at Tobias and said in a firm tone, "Stop following me from now on. I have to think about it carefully."
Tobias' eyes darkened.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Natalie, calm down. Once you've calmed down, I will explain it to you."
Natalie glanced at Tobias with a complicated look in her eyes. After a while, she left.
Benjamin panted as he caught up to her. "Mr. Whitlock, should I explain it to Miss Godfrey?"
"There's no need for that," Tobias' tone was low. "Send a few bodyguards to secretly follow her. Don't let anything happen to her."
"I understand, Mr. Whitlock."
Natalie wandered alone on the streets.
This time, she was too calm, terribly so.
Apart from losing her temper initially, could this calm be because of what Benjamin told her?
Was it because she was afraid of causing trouble for Tobias again?
She stopped in front of a park.
Flowers were blooming brilliantly there, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted into Natalie's nose.
She took a deep breath.
She picked up a flower from the ground.
"Tobias is a big liar."
She tore off a petal.
She continued, "Tobias is not a liar."
She plucked off another petal.
When she finished plucking the last petal, she came to the conclusion that Tobias was not a liar.
Natalie let out a bitter smile.
If he was not a liar, then what was going on with the scene she saw?
She clearly saw Winnie hugging Tobias. What could be fake about that?
Given Natalie's personality, she would run away immediately after seeing such a scene.
But this time, she didn't run away.
She told herself not to be impulsive, and that she would think it through with her brain.
Could this be some kind of misunderstanding?
However, no matter how she thought about it, Natalie could not think of how she might have misunderstood what she saw.
She originally wanted to call Yvonne and hear her opinion.
But she put down her phone as soon as she picked it up.
She should not always listen to other people's opinions. They did not experience it firsthand, so their opinions would only make her more and more confused.
What was more, she was not a child anymore, so she needed to have her own critical thinking skills.
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
She stayed that way until a group of children appeared in the park.
The kids followed behind a few teachers. Someone must have organized for the school kids to come to the playground to play.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing the innocent and adorable looks on the children's faces, Natalie gradually lessened her agitation.
She really tried hard to calm herself down, so she focused all her attention on this group of children.
"Children, let me tell you a story today," a female teacher who stood in front of them suddenly said.
"Okay," the children's replies could be heard.
"Today, I will be telling you a story about a great man. The moral of the story is that what you see may not be real and that your eyes may deceive you," the teacher's voice was pleasant to listen to.
Natalie was shocked.
Eyes could deceive people too?
She started to listen to the story, and she was more focused than anyone else.
"When a student was cooking soup one day, he saw something dirty fall into the pot. He quickly picked it up with a spoon. Just as he was about to throw it away, he suddenly remembered that food was hard to get and should not be wasted, so he ate it. Coincidentally, his teacher came to the kitchen and thought that he was stealing food, so he lectured him. After hearing his explanation, he understood the whole story. His teacher said emotionally, 'It seems like what we see may not be true, much less, the things we hear.'"
"My dear students, do you understand the meaning of this story?"
"I understand. Teacher, what we see may not necessarily be true."
"That's right, you are a really smart child." The teacher praised the little boy who answered.
Natalie's heart kept rippling.
She rubbed her eyes and wondered if her eyes were deceiving her.
After that, Natalie shut her eyes tightly.
She told herself not to use her eyes to see, but her heart.
What kind of a person was Tobias? Just how well did he treat her?
Natalie's heart gradually softened.
She could feel his love and tenderness for her in her heart.
She sensed Tobias ignoring all danger and even taking a bullet for her.
Even though he was sometimes cold and even cruel, she completely believed him to be an open and straightforward person.
He would never do such a thing as cheat on her.
After a long while, Natalie finally opened her eyes.
The group of children who were originally here had completely disappeared.
Natalie immediately calmed her flustered heart.
She wanted to give Tobias a chance to explain. She wanted to listen to her heart, instead of confirming something the second she saw it.
She went to the supermarket.
She bought potato chips, biscuits and plenty of snacks from the supermarket.
She carried a big bag back to the Whitlock family's residence.
When Aunt Lee saw how much snacks she was carrying, she was shocked.
For as long as she could remember, even though Natalie was a glutton, she was not one to randomly spend her money.
Although Tobias was rich, Natalie would never be wasteful. She would never buy so many snacks.
"Miss Godfrey, are you alright?" Aunt Lee looked at Natalie anxiously.
"I'm fine." Natalie tore open a packet of biscuits and started to eat.
As long as her appetite was satisfied, she would be in a good mood.
Only when she was in a good mood would she not be confused by impulse.
Natalie told herself that before listening to Tobias' explanation, she must convert her sadness into her appetite, and that would make her feel better.
Only in this way could she listen to his explanation in an objective way.
Back in the hospital, she swore that she would not act so impulsively, and she was sure that she could do it.
"Mr. Whitlock, the bodyguard just reported to me that Miss Godfrey has returned," Benjamin reported to Tobias.
He looked much more relaxed.
Since Natalie had returned to the Whitlock family's residence, it proved that things were still under control.
If Natalie was still as irrational as always, he really didn't know what kind of trouble she would bring Tobias in the future.
Bringing trouble to Tobias was an equivalent to causing trouble for the YS Group. As the president's assistant, he would find it very difficult to deal with this.
Benjamin once heard a proverb, "Beauties can delay important things."
Legend said that the ancient kings could even forget about the country for the women they loved.
Back then, Benjamin thought that it was impossible. At least, something like this would never happen to Tobias.
Tobias had always been calm, and his selfcontrol was far better than ordinary people.
Benjamin believed that Tobias would definitely not mess things up just because of a woman.
