Chapter 663
Tobias smiled. "Maybe the smoke likes you more." Natalie thought it made sense.
She was obviously more down-to-earth among the two of them, so smoke and soot would definitely
be more attracted to her.
And Tobias was more god-like. Smoke and soot wouldn''t like him.
Because of the conversation, the atmosphere between the two of them rxed.
Tobias suggested taking a walk in the park.
Natalie didn''t refuse.
They drove to a park nearby, stopped the car, and went for a walk.
The cool night breeze brought a lot of people for a park stroll as well. Aside from and children and
the elderly, there were also many couples in the park, all of whom were walking hand in hand.
From time to time, lovebirds would pass by Tobias and Natalie.
Natalie felt her heart jolt as she watched these lovebirds.
She felt that it was time for her to speak her mind.
"Tobias." Natalie pretended to speak casually. "I gave it some thought, and...you''re right. It''s time to
give Hayden a proper family."
She deliberately hid her nervousness with a nonchnt expression. "Hayden truly does need a
family with a father and a mother."
A hint of joy shed across Tobias'' eyes.
Although Natalie''s attitude the past two days had given him some clues, but at this moment, it still
gave Tobias great joy to hear Natalie say so herself.
He took Natalie''s hand in his.
Natalie''s fingertips trembled for a moment, but she looked ahead as if nothing had happened.
"Natalie, I''ll tell Hayden tonight."
"Wait, I think it''s better to take things slow. Why don''t we wait till the weekend? Let''s bring him out
for some fun and slowly break the news to him?" Natalie said.
Tobias'' gaze deepened. "That''s fine."
Natalie continued, "Let''s continue like this before telling Hayden. I''ll stay at my apartment for the
time being. Once Hayden knows, and if he''s able to ept it, then we''ll talk about everything else."
After all, she and Tobias could not just think about themselves. They still had to put Hayden''s
feelings as their first priority.
Tobias agreed immediately. "Okay, well do just that."
"But there is one more thing," Natalie hesitated. "My father..."
If she got together with Tobias, she would move in with him. She did not feel at ease leaving James
all alone in the apartment.
Before she went on, Tobias had guessed all that Natalie was going to say.
His gaze fell on Natalie''s face. "Natalie, don''t worry, I''ll straighten everything out. If he''s willing to, he
can stay with us at the vi, since we have plenty of empty rooms anyway. If he doesn''t want to, I
can get him a ce of his own and hire someone to take care of him. What do you think?"
Looking into Tobias'' inquiring eyes, Natalie''s heart warmd.
Tobias'' arrangements were for the best, of course. He''d thought about both herself and her father.
She nodded. "Thank you, Tobias."
Tobias'' hand tightened around hers. "You don''t need to thank me, Natalie."
His palm was burning hot.
Natalie took a deep breath, "Sometimes, I think human beings are really strange creatures."
She''d gone to such lengths to leave him, yet she regretted it the moment Tobias had let her go.
However, perhaps it was precisely due to this that Natalie realized their rtionship didn''te
easy. Now that they''d reconciled, she wouldn''t take it for granted.
"What''s wrong?" Tobias asked.
"Nothing." Natalie gave a small smile.
She looked up into the sky.
The moon was huge and round, and moonlight spilled all over thend.
"Look, the moon is so full tonight," Natalie said as she pointed at the night sky.
She wondered if there was anyone on the moon. If there were, they must be very lonely.
Perhaps people can only be at their happiest with their family and loved ones by their side.
Tobias also raised his head and looked towards the night sky, following Natalie''s finger.
He mused in a low voice, "The moon is full tonight. It''s a pity that the moon waxes and wanes, so
we should cherish the time we have and live in the moment, don''t you think?"
Tobias'' words stirred a ripple in Natalie''s heart.
She nodded. "You''re right. We have to seize the moment. I''m no longer a little girl. I can''t be
unreasonable like I was before."
She was no longer the young, naivedy in her early twenties, but a mother of a child.
She couldn''t act as impulsively as before, and she had to think maturely.
"Natalie." Tobias turned to look at her. "I''ve always felt that you''re still the same girl that I first met,
and I want to keep spoiling you so that you remain this way."
Natalie''s heart started to race.
Any woman would love hearing sweet words like this, and Natalie was no exception.
Tobias'' words and affectionate stare sparked joy in Natalie''s heart.
But unexpectedly, she remembered the conversation she had with him that day when they went to
buy donuts for Hayden.
Because of that conversation, in the end, the two of them had parted ways unhappily.
"A youngdy?" Natalie nced at Tobias and hinted in a meaningful tone. "That''s right, I almost
forgot. You like beautiful and young girls the most."
Confusion shed in Tobias''s eyes.
He did not understand what Natalie meant.
After a while, a faint smile formed on his lips.
"Yes, because you''ll always be young and beautiful in my heart."
His tone was as serious as ever, as if he was swearing an oath.
Natalie was a little flustered as well. She did not know whether he was being honest or not.

Who would be young and beautiful forever?
She could not help but sigh. "How can it be as good as you put it? I will grow old, and one day I will
be full of wrinkles and gray hair. At that time, I''ll be the furthest thing from being young and
beautiful."
Tobias''s eyes locked with hers, and his tone became more serious. "Natalie, you have a point, but
true feelings will never change even if our physical appearance does. No one can avoid growing
old. If a rtionship changes just because of this, there wouldn''t be so many couples who stayed
together up until old age."
After a short pause, he said with deep affection in his eyes, "Natalie, true love is finding someone
beautiful even when they''re old and grey."
Natalie was taken aback.
She asked in a low voice, "Then, are your feelings towards me, true love?"
Tobias seemed to be somewhat helpless in the face of her question.
He sighed, "Natalie, we have been together for so many years. With every up and down, twist and
turn that has happened between us, do you actually still doubt my feelings for you?"
