Chapter 716


    Tobias'' father wasn''t present. He wasn''t in the country, and because his health wasn''t too good,


    they''d kept Tobias'' ident from him.


    After Tobias'' recovery, Cecilia had epted Natalie again, but Peter hadn''t.


    He was still extremely prejudiced against Natalie.


    When he saw the way Natalie and Tobias'' hands were sped together, it annoyed him to no end.


    He firmly believed that Natalie was a menace. Though Tobias was fine now, there was no


    guaranteeing that there wouldn''t be a simr incident in the future.


    Therefore, he invited Yuna to attend their family dinner as well.


    Yuna was dressed in a white dress. She looked elegant and pretty, just like a typical daughter of a


    rich family.


    Peter''s solemn expression immediately lit up as soon as he saw Yuna.


    He warmly greeted her and invited her to sit beside him. "Yuna,e sit by me! I left this seat for


    you."


    Yuna shed a practiced smile. "Thank you,


    Grandpa Peter."


    On the other hand, Natalie''s eyshes fluttered a little.


    She knew a little about Yuna''s background.


    Peter liked Yuna very much, and he was trying his best to matchmake her and Tobias.


    Though Natalie knew that Tobias had no feelings for Yuna, she felt a little ufortable at the fact


    that she was invited to a family gathering.


    Just when she was lost in her thoughts, Tobias suddenly turned to look at her.


    She could feel his deep gaze boring into her soul.


    His eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions as if conveying thousands of words at once.


    It was obvious that he only had eyes for her.


    When they locked eyes, Natalie suddenly felt secure and solid, as if he was her anchor.


    Like magic, her unsettled heart quickly calmed when she met Tobias'' gaze.


    What was she thinking?


    Whether Peter liked Yuna or not, and whether he''d invited Yuna to their family gathering or not, had


    nothing to do with Natalie.


    Tobias only had eyes for her, and that was all she wanted. She didn''t need to bother about anything


    else.


    Natalie shed an appreciative smile at Tobias.


    A smile formed on Tobias'' lips as well.


    As soon as the dishes were served, Tobias piled Natalie''s te with food. His gentle, tender actions


    were evident to everyone present.


    Of course, Peter felt even more displeased as he watched Tobias.


    He snorted. "Some people are really shameless,ing to a family gathering uninvited. I wonder


    what they mean by it."


    Selina quickly said, "Grandpa, you''re absolutely right. This is a gathering for us Whitlocks, for the


    Whitlock family members and the daughter-inw of the Whitlock family. Why is there an outsider


    here?"


    Selina had deliberately twisted Peter''s words, her gaze falling on Yuna.


    At that, Yuna''s face suddenly changed.


    She was used to everyone fawning on her at the first opportunity, and she had never been insulted


    in such a manner.


    However, reminding herself that there were many people present at the dinner, she suppressed her


    anger and quickly put on a smile.


    Peter red at Selina. "Selina! Do you really not


    know what I mean?"


    Selina pretended to be confused. "Isn''t that what you mean, Grandpa? What else could it mean?"


    Peter was as mad as a bull, but he had no way to vent his anger.


    He huffed loudly, then said, "Some people caused Tobias to get into such a huge ident and was


    evenatose for so long. Yet they''re still shameless enough to turn up here. I really don''t know


    what to say..."


    Tobias suddenly put down his utensils.


    He looked at Peter directly and said, "Grandpa, I hope that you''ll stop bringing this matter up, now


    that it''s passed. I was the one who insisted on going, and it has nothing to do with Natalie. If you


    want to me someone, it should be me, not Natalie."


    Peter stared at him in shock.


    Cecilia tried to relieve the tension. "Peter, it''s all in the past. Let''s not mention it again. See, isn''t


    Tobias in good health now?"

    Peter could feel his blood pressure skyrocketing when he heard that.


    Tobias was indeed in good health now, but he was still as stubborn as a mule. He went against


    Peter''s wishes to be with Natalie, which vexed him to no end.


    "Fine, fine, fine, I won''t bring it up anymore," He huffed, then red at Natalie. "Since this is our


    family gathering, what is this woman doing here?!"


    This time, Peter did not attempt to hide his displeasure.


    Tobias'' expression was neutral. "Since this is the Whitlock family''s family dinner, don''t you think the


    granddaughter- in-w should be present, Grandpa?"


    Tobias''s words were like a huge p to Peter''s face.


    Peter''s face reddened in rage. "I will never recognise her as my granddaughter-inw!"


    "It''s fine as long as I do," Tobias said bluntly.


    Peter''s eyes widened.


    "The only granddaughter-inw I acknowledge is Yuna!"


    "Grandpa, it is your grandson who is going to get married, not you."


    Peter was speechless.


    Just then, Yuna suddenly added gently, "Please stop arguing, you two."


    She paused, then looked at Tobias pitifully, "Tobias, I came here because of Grandpa Peter. He


    sees me as his own granddaughter, which is why he invited me. There''s no other reason, so I hope


    you won''t misunderstand."


    Tobias averted his gaze and continued to pile Natalie''s te with food.


    Selina felt goosebumps rising all over her body.


    Yuna was a wonderful actress!


    Her weak and fragile appearance made her look so pitiful. It was a good thing that Tobias was


    strong enough not to be seduced by her.


    However, Selina knew that Yuna was definitely not a good person.


    When she''d mocked Yuna earlier, she''d clearly seen the malice in her eyes.


    However, she was pretending to be the weak one.


    No proper woman would be able to act like this.


    "Natalie, you''re still weak. Have some soup." Tobias got her a bowl of soup.


    Natalie epted it with a smile.


    Yuna felt extremely awkward.


    On the other hand, Peter was all worked up.


    He couldn''t believe that Tobias would dare turn a blind eye to Yuna.


    He mmed the table in a fit of anger. "Tobias Whitlock!"


    Tobias looked at him. "Grandpa?"


    Peter snorted. "Tobias, I didn''t expect you to be so heartless!"


    Tobias'' breath hitched.


    Peter said coldly, "Tobias, while you were still buried underwater, Yuna was the one who told me


    that you were still alive. When we didn''t have the time to look for the controls to open that container


    you were in, Yuna was the one who found a way to open it. Yet, this is the way you''re treating your


    saviour?"


    Peter was trying to give all the credit to Yuna.


    Natalie''s eyshes fluttered slightly when she heard that.


    She hadn''t expected Yuna to have contributed so much to saving Tobias.
