Chapter 396


    She looked at him and asked, "Tobias, you don''t think so, right? You certainly don''t think so as well!"


    "I do!" Tobias said coldly, "Winnie is right. Only she is worthy of me."


    After that, they looked at each other and smiled before leaving hand in hand.


    Natalie remained rooted to the spot.


    She was jolted awake from her dream.


    She woke up drenched in a cold sweat.


    She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with her hand.


    Why did she get such a strange dream?


    After washing up, she went downstairs.


    It was still very early, but Cecilia had already prepared breakfast.


    During breakfast, Natalie purposely used a knife and fork.


    Selina was surprised and asked, "Natalie, do you need to use a knife and fork to eat toast? Can''t


    you just hold it with your hands?"


    She shook her head stubbornly and said firmly, "No, I''ve to learn to use a knife and fork properly."


    She must master it so that what happened in her dream would never happen.


    It was still very early after breakfast.


    Natalie was pestering Selina to teach her French.


    Although her academic results wereparable to Selina''s, Selina grew up among expats and


    could speak French quite fluently.


    She did not know why Natalie suddenly wanted her to teach her French.


    But if Natalie wanted to learn, she would teach her.


    For almost an hour, she practiced the pronunciations with Selina. She only stopped and hurried


    downstairs when it was time for her to goto school.


    After she left, Selina came over to Cecilia''s side.


    "Mom, don''t you think that Natalie has be a little weird?"


    Cecilia''s eyes flickered slightly.


    She pondered for a moment and did not speak.


    Selina sighed and said, "What''s really been going on recently? Both Tobias and Natalie have


    be so strange. By the way, it seems like he didn''te homest night."


    Cecilia looked a little unhappy and asked, "You didn''t tell Natalie about this, did you?"


    Selina stuck out her tongue and said, "I''m not stupid. Of course I didn''t tell her about this. What if


    she overthinks?"


    Cecilia nodded and said, "Well, Tobias may be busy working overtime at thepany."


    Selina did not believe that at all.


    She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, no matter how busy he is, he won''t stay at thepany all


    night, would he? I heard that there is a high chance for men to cheat when their wives are pregnant.


    Was Tobias with another womanst night?"


    Cecilia knocked her head and said, "Don''t talk nonsense. He is not this kind of person. He would


    not do such a thing."


    Selina agreed after thinking about it for a moment.


    Tobias was quite a gentleman. Otherwise, he would not be single for so many years.


    In that case, where did he go the night before?


    Yvonne felt that Natalie''s personality had changedpletely.


    She used to hate French the most.


    However, she was so excited to attend French ss.


    Natalie was the most attentive student in ss.


    Not just during French ss. She was also practicing French pronunciation and reading French


    books in other sses.


    Of course, this was not the strangest thing. The strangest thing was that Natalie had brought a knife


    and a fork.


    Natalie had brought her own set of knife and fork and ate with them during lunch.


    However, the cafeteria was serving fast food everyday!


    Who eats burgers and fries with knives and forks?


    Yvonne was also speechless.


    Fortunately, everyone in Agaphen City knew about her rtionship with Tobias.


    Therefore, no one dared tough at Natalie.


    If it was the past, everyone would be pointing their fingers andughing at her.


    "Natalie, you don''t need to use a knife and fork to eat burgers, do you?" Yvonne looked at her


    speechlessly.


    Natalie said very seriously, "I want to master how to eat with a knife and a fork."


    Yvonne was speechless.


    She felt that Natalie must have been possessed.


    Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Over the past three days, Natalie had led an exceptionally fulfilling life.


    She practiced hard, speaking French everyday and her mind was full of French words even before


    she went to bed.


    Her hard work had paid off.


    In just three days, Natalie''s French fluency had improved by leaps and bounds.


    Tobias had note home for three days.


    She was so immersed in studying that she did not notice that at all.


    Not to mention that some time ago, he had always returnedte at night and left early in the


    morning. Therefore, she did not have the chance to meet Tobias back then either.


    She was not aware that Tobias did note home all night.


    However, Selina and Cecilia were aware of that.


    Cecilia''s heart was in turmoil.


    Tobias was her son, so she knew his personality well.


    He always knew what he was doing.


    What was more, she had already made it clear to Tobias over what had happenedst time.


    However, why was he still behaving the same way?


    Cecilia had a vague hunch that the changes in him might have nothing to do with her.


    If that was the case, what was the reason for his change?


    Meanwhile, Selina also quietly went to ask Benjamin.


    Fortunately, Tobias did not do anything that would hurt Natalie.


    Over the past three days, he had been working in thepany all night.


    He slept on the sofa in his office at night.


    Selina was shocked upon hearing this.


    She asked Benjamin why there was so much work to do at thepany now, causing him to be so


    busy.


    Benjamin did not know how to answer Selina.


    Actually, there was really not much work to dotely.


    Tobias would often stand in front of the windows for a long time.


    He did not know what was wrong with him either.


    Back home, Selina told Cecilia what Benjamin had told her about Tobias at thepany.


    "Mom, it seems that Tobias is really busy. He doesn''t even have the time to sleep. Even if he gets to


    sleep, he can only sleep on the sofa in his office," Selina told her. She was a simple-minded person,


    so naturally, she did not think too much about it.


    But Cecilia was not as simple- minded as Selina.


    Things were certainly not as simple as they seemed.


    However, she could not figure out what was going on.


    She decided to wait a little longer. If Tobias was still the same, she would need to have a good talk


    with him.


    After school, Natalie was seen walking out of the Agaphen University''s entrance.


    She noticed that the car that the driver


    usually fetched her in did not appear at the university''s entrance.


    Instead, a limited edition Ferrari was waiting for her at the entrance.


    Natalie''s heart was in her mouth.


    She recognized that it was Tobias'' car.


    He hade to pick her up!


    Extreme joy enveloped her.


    She had not seen him in several days. She did not expect that he woulde to pick her up that


    day.


    Natalie''s eyes were shining, as if they were covered by a strangeyer of illusionary color, like the


    bright stars in the sky.


    She opened the car door and sat inside.


    In the car, his handsome face was cold.


    However, she did not seem to notice that.


    She was thrilled.


    It was because he hade to pick her up.


    This was such an ordinary thing, but it was so precious to Natalie.


    It was so precious that she was feeling so agitated at this moment.


    The first sentence that she spoke was in French.


    Tobias was stunned for a moment.


    After a while, he nced at her bewilderment.


    His eyes were as dark as ink.
