Chapter 317
It all happened ever since Natalie appeared. Last time, because of her, Tobias did not continue to stay in Washington, and the company lost a lot of money because of that.
Only then did Benjamin understand that a beautiful woman really would lead to troubles. The old sayings were all true.
Upon hearing Benjamin's report, Tobias stood up and declared, "I'm going back."
"Mr. Whitlock, you have a meeting later." Benjamin reminded him.
Although the meeting was not that important, he could still choose to go back at any time. There was no need to be so anxious.
"Let's postpone it to tomorrow," Tobias answered immediately.
Benjamin sighed internally.
A beautiful woman would really lead to troubles!
Winnie stumbled back to her apartment.
She bought a house here shortly after she reached Agaphen City.
In order to accompany her, Tracy flew to Glevania as well.
"Winnie, what's wrong?" Tracy saw how pale Winnie's face was.
Winnie threw herself into Tracy's arms. "Mom, he doesn't have me in his heart anymore."
Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.
The sight of a gorgeous woman crying was a real heart-wrenching scene.
Especially when it was her own daughter.
Tracy's heart was about to break apart. "Winnie, have you explained it clearly to Tobias?"
Winnie nodded with tears in her eyes. "Mom, I told him everything, but he still wanted me to leave. When I hugged him, he pushed me away heartlessly. Later, when that woman came, Tobias wanted to chase after her. It didn't matter how badly I begged him. Mom, I've given up my pride for him. I've said those words and even begged him. He didn't care about it at all."
Tracy frowned.
Winnie was howling.
Tracy handed a paper towel to Winnie and said, "Winnie, crying is the most useless thing to do. I've taught you that since you were a child."
Winnie understood that well.
The weeps of a woman were the most useless thing of all, but she could not help herself.
Her heart hurt so badly. It hurt so much, yet she could not control herself.
Tracy got up to make a coffee.
She handed the coffee to Winnie and comforted, "Winnie, drink some coffee first."
Winne took a small sip.
The coffee tasted bitter.
She looked at Tracy in surprise.
She always added a lot of sugar to her coffee to cover the bitterness of the coffee. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Tracy knew this too.
"Winnie, the coffee is very bitter, right? The world is the same. If you don't put sugar, the coffee will naturally be bitter." There was a hidden meaning in her words.
Winnie was shocked.
After a moment, she looked at Tracy in agony, "Mom, it is useless to tell me these. I've already seen Tobias' determination. I've already used my trump card, but it's still useless. I am really out of ideas."
"Then, we'll start with that woman." A deep glint flashed through Tracy's eyes. "Winnie, Tobias is only temporarily bewitched by this woman. If this woman leaves Tobias and you appear at the right time, you might have a chance to win Tobias back."
Winnie's eyes lit up, and after a while, it turned dim again.
"That woman is young, but she is not as simple as she seems. I've already looked for her, but she won't fall for it at all."
"No, Winnie, there is still a way." Tracy suddenly interrupted.
Winnie immediately looked toward Tracy.
Tracy suddenly touched Winnie's face. "Winnie, look at your face. Don't you think that you both look slightly similar?"
Winnie suddenly stopped breathing.
A glimmer of hope flashed across her eyes. "Mother, will that be useful?"
Tracy pondered for a while, "This alone might not work, but if we want to attack, we'll need to pull her down hard."
Tracy whispered a few words in Winnie's ears.
A look of disbelief appeared on Winnie's face. She asked, "Mom, won't this be too fake? Will this really do?"
"Nothing is impossible." Tracy held Winnie's hands. "Women always have to do whatever it takes to win the hearts of the man they love, no matter what it costs. Winnie, you must not be softhearted."
Winnie was still hesitant. "But what if Tobias finds out?"
"Winnie, Tobias does not want you. Would you rather go back to the United States in such a gloomy way, or would you take the risk of his anger to give yourself a chance?" Tracy turned her gaze to Winnie.
Winnie's breathing got heavy.
Tracy's words were unacceptable to her.
She was not someone who has no boundaries.
She really couldn't do such a thing in order to win Tobias' heart.
But was she supposed just to watch herself lose Tobias forever?
Was she supposed to marry an ordinary man who was not as good as Tobias for the rest of her life?
She could not do that.
"Mom, my head hurts. Can you let me think about it?" Winnie said weakly.
"Think about it. Winnie, you must be ruthless when you do things." Tracy gave Winnie a deep look.
A painful and entangled look could be seen on Winnie's face.
Tobias returned to the Whitlock family's residence. When he was in the elevator, he happened to meet Aunt Lee.
"Mr. Tobias," Aunt Lee greeted Tobias.
Tobias nodded in return.
"I do not know what is wrong with Miss Godfrey. She has been eating for the whole afternoon. I am afraid that she will be stuffed." Aunt Lee informed him with great concern.
Tobias's eyes darkened. "Let me go and take a look."
After entering his home, Tobias saw a large table filled with various snacks and packages.
Natalie was there eating a bag of biscuits.
Crisp sounds could be heard from her biting the biscuits.
When she saw Tobias, she was a little surprised. It was not time to get off work, so why did Tobias come back at such an early hour?
Tobias went over and covered Natalie's round belly with his hand. "Natalie, stop eating. If you eat any more, you will be stuffed."
Natalie put down the crackers in her hand. "I will give you a chance to explain. If I'm satisfied, I won't eat anymore. If I'm not satisfied, I'll keep eating and stuff myself to death."
"Are you punishing yourself, or are you punishing me?" Tobias raised his handsome eyebrows.
"Of course I'm punishing you. If I die because of you, you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life." Natalie stared at Tobias.
Tobias could tell that Natalie was joking.
He added, "Natalie, Winnie came to me and asked me to give her a chance to tell me something. I thought that I should cut all ties with her. After all, Winnie's existence made you upset."
"So you hugged each other as you explained, right?" Natalie could not help but chime in.
"Let me finish." Tobias continued, "After she finished, I told her that I never wanted to see her again to avoid arousing suspicions. She hugged me on the spur of the moment. I was just about to let go of her hand when you came in."
After that, Tobias's dark eyes fell straight into Natalie's eyes. "Natalie, those are the facts. Do you want to believe it?"
Natalie's breathing got lighter.
She carefully recalled the scene the moment she entered Tobias' office.
It was true that Winnie was the only one hugging Tobias. She did not see Tobias touching Winnie at all.
