Chapter 403


    She couldpromise, but it would be degradation if she had to share a man with another woman.


    She could not do that at all.


    She believed that if the baby in her womb could think, it would not allow her to do so either.


    Natalie touched her stomach and said, "Auntie, although this child will not have aplete home in


    the future, I will give him all my love. You don''t have to worry."


    A hint of hesitation shed across Cecilia''s eyes.


    She did not want Natalie and Tobias to separate.


    However, she was also a very smart woman.


    She had already seen the attitude of Tobias very clearly.


    He was absolutely determined to sever his rtionship with Natalie, and there was no room for


    turning back.


    There was no point in dragging on any longer.


    Cecilia did not know why Tobias would suddenly lose all his feelings for Natalie.


    However, when a man no longer loved a woman, everything the woman did would be wrong, even


    her breathing.


    No matter what Natalie did, he would not change his mind.


    Thus, if this dragged on any longer, it would only hurt her even more.


    It was not necessarily a bad thing for them to go their separate ways at this time.


    However, Natalie was still pregnant with his child.


    It was the flesh and blood of the Whitlock family.


    "Natalie, have you really thought it through? Is there no room for turning back?" Cecilia asked.


    Natalie nodded her head firmly.


    "Yes, I''ve already made up my mind."


    Her voice was sorrowful but firm.


    Cecilia sighed and said, "Natalie, the Whitlock family has done you wrong. I willpensate you."


    At this point, this was thest thing she could do for Natalie.


    I don''t need that," Natalie rejected directly. The feelings were already gone, so what was the use of


    compensation?


    Cecilia''s gaze fell on Natalie''s stomach and said, "Natalie, the money is for the child. Even if you


    don''t need it, don''t you think he would need it?"


    Her breathing slowed down.


    "Natalie, stay here during this period until you give birth so that I can take care of you. Of course,


    you can also choose to get rid of this child," Cecilia said firmly.


    This was her first grandson, so she naturally could not bear to part with him.


    Even if Natalie had broken up with Tobias, she could still give birth to this child. The Whitlock family


    had the ability to raise this child into adulthood.


    However, Cecilia could not only consider the Whitlock family.


    Natalie had broken up with Tobias. Giving birth to this child would not do any good to her. The child


    would be a burden to her.


    Therefore, Cecilia had chosen to respect her.


    If Natalie wanted to get rid of this child, she would not say a single word.


    If she wanted to give birth to this child, she would be happy with that as well.


    If she wanted to raise the child by herself, she would provide financial support and ensure that


    Natalie could live freely without any worries for the rest of her life.


    If Natalie was unwilling to raise the child by herself, the Whitlock family could raise the child.


    Natalie''s breathing paused for a moment.


    She had no intention of getting rid of the child.


    Even if she broke up with Tobias, she did not n to get rid of the baby.


    Although this child had only stayed in her belly for less than two months, she already felt that the


    child was part of her.


    The child was her flesh and blood.


    If she got rid of him, it was no difference frommitting a murder.


    She would never do that.


    "Mom, I won''t get rid of the child, but I don''t need you to take care of me. I can take care of myself."


    "Natalie, have you ever thought about your future. You will still have a future after you separate with


    Tobias. You are still so young and this child will be a burden to you."


    Natalie did not hesitate at all.


    "Auntie, even if this child bes a burden to me, I will never get rid of him. He is a part of my life,


    and I can''t give him up."


    Cecilia fell silent.


    After a while, she sighed gently and said, "Alright Natalie, I will help you. You don''t have to worry


    about money in the future. I will write you a check now. You..."


    "Auntie, I don''t need your money," Natalie interrupted her.


    "But Natalie, the child will need money in the future."

    "I can earn my own living. Things haven''te to this point yet."


    Cecilia took a deep look at her and said, "Natalie, you are the child''s mother, but I''m also the child''s


    grandmother. Please don''t refuse a grandmother''s kindness to her grandson, okay?"


    Her words were full of sincerity.


    Natalie''s eyshes trembled.


    After a while, she nodded and said, "Auntie, I don''t need it now. When I need it, I won''t refuse your


    kindness."


    She still had a little savings.


    Cecilia nodded and said, "Alright then."


    Selina, who was standing aside, waspletely stunned.


    She thought that Cecilia would persuade Natalie not to break up with Tobias, but she did not expect


    her mother to discuss with Natalie and n on what to do with the child in the future.


    What was more, she even persuaded Natalie to get rid of the child.


    Selina was staring at them with wide eyes.


    Didn''t her mom hope that Natalie and Tobias would get back with each other?


    At this point, there was no need to say anything more.


    Natalie bade Cecilia and Selina goodbye.


    Cecilia took Natalie''s hand and said, "Natalie, please stay here tonight. I will get someone to


    arrange a ce for you to live tomorrow."


    Natalie shook her head and said, "I''ll stay at my ssmate''s house tonight and live in the dormitory


    in the future."


    "Natalie, are you going to live in the dormitory with your child in the future?"


    Natalie bit her lower lip hard.


    She was right. She could not live in the dormitory with her child.


    "Auntie, thank you," Natalie said in a slightly trembling voice.


    Cecilia finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    She knew Natalie''s character.


    Since she had nothing to do with Tobias anymore, she would not want to ept any benefits from


    the Whitlock family.


    But in the end, she stillpromised for the sake of her child.


    However, Natalie insisted on staying at her ssmate''s house that night and Cecilia did not stop


    her.


    After Natalie left, Selina started to voice out all her doubts, "Mom, why did you agree to it? Natalie is


    pregnant with your grandson. How can you allow her to break up with Tobias? You have to


    persuade both of them."


    Cecilia had a splitting headache.


    She sat on the sofa and held her forehead in her hand.


    "Mom, why are you keeping quiet? You have to persuade Natalie. Should I go and get her back now


    so that you can have a good talk with her?"


    Cecilia stopped her.


    "Selina, do you think you can persuade her?"


    Selina''s breathing paused for a moment.


    Cecilia was feeling a little irritated. "I''ve said whatever I could to Tobias during this period of time. In


    the end, he doesn''t even want to see me. I''ve already seen his determination. If this continues, it will


    only hurt Natalie more. So, it''s not really a bad thing for her to leave."


    Selina''s face became gloomy.


    She did not want to believe that things would turn out this way.


    Not long ago, Tobias and Natalie were still so loving.


    "Mom, is there really no other way?" Selina asked with a bitter face.
