Chapter 425


    Cecilia replied to them politely.


    Soon, the wedding started.


    It was luxurious and dreamy.


    The bride was stunning and at first nce, anyone could tell that she was the daughter of a noble


    family.


    The host started to introduce the bride.


    The bride''s family monopolized the business in her country. Besides, she graduated from a


    prestigious university, majoring in finance. She was quite famous at a young age.


    Somedies were whispering amongst themselves.


    "This bride looks good. What a lucky man!"


    "Actually, the groom is equally financially strong as the bride''s family. This is a really strong


    alliance."


    Someone diverted the conversation back to Cecilia, "Cecilia, Tobias is not married, is he?"


    Cecilia smiled and said nothing.


    Meanwhile, Tobias'' face turned pale.


    Since he and Natalie had not had a wedding ceremony, not many people knew that they were


    married.


    However, her question only made Tobias think of his marriage with Natalie.


    It was a marriage that should never have existed.


    His mind was a little confused.


    "Cecilia, if your son wants to get married, he''ll definitely have to find the most outstanding woman in


    the United States. Look at how excellent Tobias is." Someone quicklyplimented.


    Cecilia continued to smile.


    Suddenly, Tobias stood up.


    It was as if he was trying hard to hold something back.


    "Tobias." Cecilia cast her probing gaze on Tobias'' face.


    "Mother, let''s go." He took Cecilia''s hand.


    When they walked out of the hotel, Cecilia looked a little unhappy, "Tobias, you should not have left


    like that, it''s quite rude."


    "I have no intentions of attending a wedding. What''s the meaning of bringing me here?" Tobias''


    deep eyes locked with Cecilia''s.


    Cecilia smiled slightly and said in an assertive tone, "Tobias, can''t you tell?"

    There was a faint smile on her face, but it was hard to read.


    "What do you mean?" Tobias frowned as he asked.


    "This wedding is so eye- catching and enviable, but what about you and Natalie? If you are


    together, how do you want me to introduce Natalie? She doesn''t have any powerful background. Do


    you want the Whitlock family to be ashamed?" Cecilia said coldly.


    A sh of astonishment could be seen in Tobias'' eyes.


    He looked at Cecilia, as if he had never known her before.


    "Mother, you''ve never had concerns about it." Tobias spoke after a while.


    Cecilia was not like the other nobledies. To her, status was not important at all.


    There was a strange light in Cecilia''s eyes, "That was in the past. It''s different now. I don''t want


    others to talk behind my back and say that my excellent son has married amoner. What am I


    supposed to do then?"


    Tobias looked irritated.


    When had her mother be like that?


    However, he did not have the mood to dive deeper into the problem.


    "Natalie and I are divorced. Do you think this is still meaningful?" Tobias said in a displeased tone.


    Cecilia''s eyes looked straight into Tobias'' eyes, "You and Natalie have divorced. But would you dare


    say that you don''t have any more feelings for Natalie?"


    Tobias suddenly stopped breathing.


    He dared not say that he didn''t have any more feelings for Natalie.


    Although he knew that he should not have any thoughts about Natalie.


    However, he could not control his own emotions.


    Seeing Tobias in such a state, Cecilia''s heart sank.


    Her heart was in great pain.


    His son was so sensible, but why was he so muddled at that point. He even immersed himself in


    such a love affair!


    At that moment, she was even more determined with her decision.


    "Although Natalie and you have divorced, I can''t guarantee that the two of you will not love each


    other again. I have to eliminate the possibility!"


    "So, you kidnapped Natalie?" Tobias'' eyes were cold.


    A tinge of pain shed across her eyes.


    The pain then disappeared in an instant.


    "I just put Natalie under house arrest. Rest assured that she is doing very well. I will not go too far in


    dealing with her."


    Tobias looked at Cecilia with an obscure emotion in his eyes.


    Could it be because he was too confused?


    How could everything change overnight?


    So much so that even Cecilia had changed.


    Cecilia used to like Natalie a lot. How could she be afraid that they would mend their rtionship,


    that she put her under house arrest?


    He had a bad headache.


    "Mother, I want to see Natalie." Tobias said after a while.


    He looked determined.


    "It''s fine to see her. But I have a request." Cecilia smiled.


    Her smile was so beautiful that there was not a single w in it.


    Only Cecilia knew how much pain she had behind that smile.


    "Say it."


    Cecilia handed Tobias a photo.


    There was a young girl in the photo. She smiled at the camera, looking beautiful and mboyant.


    Her pupils were blue and her gaze was as deep as the endless ocean.


    Tobias did not take the photo.


    He frowned and said, "What do you want?"


    "Lucy." Cecilia said, "Her name is Lucy. Her family controls more than half of the oil business in the


    world. Her family''s financial resources are no less than our Whitlock family. Marrying her will be a


    great alliance for us."


    There was a sh of disbelief in his eyes, "Mother, are you serious?"


    Cecilia looked at Tobias steadily, "I am very serious. Lucy likes you too, and she is willing to marry


    you. It''s all up to you now."


    "I won''t agree." Tobias said directly.


    "Natalie and you are divorced. You may get married again."


    "Even if we are divorced, I won''t marry another woman."


    A hint of sadness shed across Cecilia''s eyes, "Are you saying that you won''t ept any other


    woman apart from Natalie?"


    Tobias did not say anything.


    The pain in Cecilia''s eyes grew more intense.


    She had to have Tobias to marry Lucy.


    Lucy was a lovely and lively girl. Cecilia had met her personality.


    Compared to other nobledies, Lucy had great moral standards.


    If Tobias married Lucy, they might fall in love with each other after a long time. Tobias might


    eventually forget about Natalie.


    Then, she would arrange for Natalie''s marriage.


    Both Natalie and Tobias could find their own happiness.


    It was the most appropriate thing to do.


    Cecilia''s tone went serious suddenly, "No matter what, you must marry Lucy. Otherwise, you will


    never see Natalie again!"


    Tobias'' eyes turned cold, "What if I still want to see her?"


    Cecilia looked at Tobias and said, "If you really want to see her, then it has to be over my dead


    body."
