Chapter 661


    Natalie''s eyes were glistening.


    Sometimes, life was really full of mysteries.


    Just like how she hadn''t expected everything else to happen when Tobias was having breakfast


    here the other day.


    Just like that, she and Tobias had inexplicably reconciled.


    However, the truth was that they had wanted to reconcile anyway.


    They justcked the right opportunity.


    They hadn''te across it for such a long time, yet it had just happened on the ne.


    Natalie''s smile deepened.


    Just as she brought her bread and coffee to the table, James came home.


    He was surprised when he saw Natalie. "Natalie, you''re back."


    When Natalie went to the United States to get her certificate, she knew that she would not be able


    toe back in a single day, so she had informed James earlier.


    Natalie nodded. "Yes, and I''ve gotten everything straightened out. Have you eaten, Dad?"


    James nodded.


    Natalie smiled. "Since I''ve gotten my degree certificate, I can get a better job with a higher sry."


    Her gaze swept over James'' worn- out clothes. "And I can buy you better clothes in the future."


    James was moved by her words.


    Although Natalie was not his biological daughter, James knew very well that Brayden and Queenie


    could notpare to her. She was the one who treated him the best.


    James nodded. "That''s good to hear, Natalie. Things will only get better from here."


    Natalie''s smile deepened.


    That''s right, things would only get better.


    Everyone''s lives would improve.


    Tobias returned to the vi.


    Cecilia was watering the nts. She put the watering can down when she saw Tobias.


    "Tobias, why have you onlye home now? Have things been really hectic at thepany?"


    Cecilia asked.


    "I went to the United States," Tobias said.


    "Why did you go there?"


    A light shed in Tobias'' eyes. "Mother, I apanied Natalie there to get her degree certificate


    reissued."


    Cecilia''s eyes lit up when she heard what Tobias said.


    Natalie had allowed Tobias to apany her to the United States to re- apply for her certificate.


    Did this mean that she had wavered?


    Otherwise, why would she let Tobias apany her?


    "Tobias, has... has Natalie epted you?" Cecilia''s words were full of joy and disbelief.


    Tobias'' eyes were deep and serene. "She probably will soon enough."


    Cecilia was a little excited. "That''s good. It''s best if Natalie can ept you."


    Tobias suddenly thought of Peter''s phone call.


    He furrowed his eyebrows.


    This startled Cecilia.


    "What''s wrong, Tobias? Is there something else going on with Natalie?" she asked nervously.


    Tobias shook his head. "It''s not Natalie."


    "Then what happened?" Cecilia''s heart was in her throat.


    "Mother, Grandpa seems to be against Natalie and is very opposed to her being with me," Tobias


    said in a low voice.


    Cecilia''s breathing hitched.


    After a while, she said, "I''ll go talk to him."


    "Mother, this is my business. I''ll talk to him."


    Cecilia''s attitude was firm. "If you were to talk to him, he would think that you''re just confused, but


    I''m different. Let me have a try."


    A sh of deep thought shed across Tobias'' eyes.


    Cecilia''s words made sense. Right then, Peter firmly believed that he was blinded by lust.


    Maybe it would be much better if Cecilia was the one to speak to him.


    "Then I''ll have to trouble you, Mother," Tobias said.


    Cecilia waved her hand and said, "It''s no trouble at all. What''s more..."


    She suppressed what she was going to say. What''s more, if it weren''t for her, Tobias and Natalie


    would have been fine. There would not have been so much trouble.


    However, there was no meaning in bringing up the past again. Now, the most important thing was


    that Tobias and Natalie could live a good life in the future.


    Cecilia dialed Peter''s number.


    She briefly exined over the phone that Tobias nned to be with Natalie. She told him that


    Natalie was a good girl and that she approved of her very much.


    Peter only spoke after a short moment of silence. "Cecilia, not only has that girl managed to enthral


    Tobias, she''s managed to confuse you as well! It looks like she has a few tricks up her sleeve


    indeed!"


    "Natalie is not what you think. She is a very simple girl." Cecilia defended Natalie.


    "Simple?" Peter''s tone carried a hint of mockery. "If she were simple, would she have gotten


    involved with Remington and caused him to nearly lose his life? Would she have caused Remington


    and Tobias to fight over her? It''s not like she''s the only woman in the world. How could she do this


    unless she was out of the ordinary?"


    When Peter mentioned Remington, Cecilia started to feel a headacheing on.


    God knew what had happened to Remington. Why had a yboy like him fallen for Natalie and


    caused Peter to misunderstand Natalie so badly?


    "It''s not what you think. Natalie never had any affection for Remington, and she didn''t make the two


    of them fight over her. A person''s heart can''t be controlled, and Natalie can''t help the fact that


    Remington likes her," Cecilia said.


    It would have been okay if she had not said anything. Now that she had said this, Peter was even


    more agitated.


    "She can''t help it?" Peter said agitatedly. "If she couldn''t help it, why did shee to the Whitlock


    family with Remington as his fiancee? Why did she stay with him at the hospital? From what I see,


    she''s just ying around with the two of them! How can I be fooled so easily when I''ve seen so


    many women throughout my lifetime?"


    Cecilia''s head ached even more.


    These matters wereplicated. How could she exin them to Peter?


    It was hard to exin in such a short time.


    She could only say, "I know the real story behind these things, and it''s definitely not what you think.


    Natalie is really a good girl, otherwise, I would not be able to ept her."


    "A good girl?" Peter harrumphed heavily. "I think you''ve also been bewitched. Cecilia, if you''re really


    Tobias'' mother, then get Tobias to break up with that woman. Yuna is an actual good girl. Tobias and


    Yuna being together is the right choice."


    Cecilia was helpless.


    She would''ve thought that Peter would''ve grasped the situation when he''d brought Yuna here with


    him before.


    Tobias had no interest in Yuna at all.


    But now, Peter was still being so stubborn and fantasising about Tobias and Yuna getting together.

    "Tobias isn''t interested in Yuna. I can''t control this either."
