Chapter 721
Natalie wished she could dig a hole, crawl into it, and remain there forever.
She knew that Selina had always been straightforward, but she didn''t expect her to be so open in front of so many people either.
Tobias, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent.
Peter''s face turned even darker at Selina''sment.
Cecilia shot a warning nce at Selina and chided, "You have no boundaries when you speak, Selina.”
Selina stuck out her tongue yfully.
"I just think it''s odd that we can''t speak about these things in public. Why is it that it''s appropriate to speak about a couple having a child, but it''s not
appropriate to speak about the process of having a child?"
An awkward silence filled the room.
Peter red at her. "Eat your food. You''re one to talk, unmarried at your age.”
Selina pouted but did not say further.
Only Peter could deal with her mischievous nature. His words managed to render her speechless.
After breakfast, Peter went to the garden to take a walk, as per his routine.
"I''ll go with you, Grandpa.” Tobias stood up after him.
Peter nced at Tobias. "I see you still have a conscience."
Tobias nced at Natalie and said gently, "Natalie, you have a chat with my mother and Selina. I''ll be back soon."
Natalie nodded.
Then, Tobias followed Peter to the garden.
The Whitlock family''s garden was huge and always well taken care of. Tobias was greeted with the smell of fresh flowers as soon as he stepped in
"I know you would never volunteer toe with me for no reason. Just tell me what you want," Peter said as he stretched his muscles.
Tobias looked at him thoughtfully. "Grandpa, if you want me and Natalie to stay here for half a month, please don''t pull anything funny or toy with my
trust in you."
Peter paused and turned to stare at Tobias with a puzzled look on his face.
"What are you taking about? What tricks? What did I do to you?” Peter asked, baffled.
At Peter''s response, Tobias quickly got a grasp of the situation
Whatever happened the night before probably had nothing to do with Peter.
In fact, the moment Natalie appeared at the room, he immediately knew that someone had set them up. Otherwise, Natalie wouldn''t have gone there
out of the blue.
He had originally thought that Peter had worked with Yuna to trick him, but now, it seemed that Peter was innocent.
Tobias furrowed his eyebrows.
He suddenly felt repulsed by Yuna''s actions.
Before this, he held no grudges against Yuna at all
To him, Yuna was just a stranger.
After knowing that she had helped to save him, he was a little grateful to her.
At this moment, however, his gratefulness to her dissipatedN?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
He hated maniptive people.
"It''s nothing, Grandpa," he answered calmly.
Peter red at him. "I have nothing to say to you beth. I still prefer to talk to Yuna. I''ll invite her to have dinner with me tonight."
Tobias pursed his lips tightly and said nothing
That evening, Peter invited Yuna to their vi once again.
She wore a ckce dress.
Usually,ce dresses would give off a scandalous impression on the wearer.
However, the obscure,ce dress looked amazing on her, and it made her appear sophisticated and mysterious.
Yuna stood in the dining hall like an elegant ck swan.
She moved to sit down beside Peter with a faint smile on her face.
Natalie gave her a strange stare.
Something like that had happened the night before, yet Yuna could still act like nothing had happened.
Natalie quickly lowered her gaze
This had nothing to de with her.
As long as she was together with Tobias, everything would be fine. Other matters had nothing to do with her.
Halfway through their dinner, Yuna suddenly lifted her winess and looked at Tobias charmingly. "Tobias, let me propose a toast to you."
Tobias lifted his own winess politely but distantly, then downed it.
He showed her respect, but he didn''t give her any chance to say anything inappropriate.
His actions weren''t out of ce at all.
Yuna followed suit,
However, she did not stop drinking. Instead, she refilled and drank one mouthful after another.
Peter couldn''t bear to see her like this.
"Yuna, maybe you should stop."
Yuna picked up the ss once more and shook her head. "Grandpa Peter, I suddenly feel like drinking today, so please don''t stop me."
Eventually, Yuna turned a little tipsy, and her face was flushed.
She looked at Tobias. "Tobias, you''re still as handsome as you were a few years ago. You look exactly the same as the first time I saw you."
Everyone was stunned
Tobias'' eyes narrowed in confusion.
Natalie looked at Yuna suspiciously.
Had Tobias and Yuna known each other before this?
Yuna continued to mumble, "The first time I saw you on that magazine. I thought to myself, how could there be such a handsome man?"

person. You met all the criterta for

The atmosphere immediately turned awkward.
No one expected Yuna to say such things.
Peter, on the other hand, was extremely touched
His eyes, trained on Yuna, were filled with dismay.
Peter didn''t even know that Yuna had had such a huge crush on Tobias. She was such a wonderful and loyal youngdy. so why didn''t Tobias like
her? Why was he so bewitched by Natalie?
Tobias''s lips parted as if he was about to say something.
He wasn''t moved or bothered by Yuna’s words. He felt nothing towards her, and nothing she said would move him.
He was just worried that Natalie would feel ufortable.
Tobias was just about to say something when Natalie shot him a look.
She was hinting at him that she was
fine and reassuring him that he
didn''t need to say anything. Natalie~
had already seen through Yuna’s
pretense. Yuna was saying hes?
things on purpose, to make her feel
uncemfortable. Why shouldshe fall

Since Yuna was in the mood to talk, she would just let her be.
Yuna could say whatever she wanted, and Natalie would only treat it as a stand-up.
Yuna was still mumbling to herself. "Tobias, I am really happy to see you. Meeting you in person is also one of my dreams."
Then, she quickly changed the subject to Tobias'' ident.
‘I couldn''t believe it when I heard
that something had happened to
you. I came to''Grandpa Peter and
told him that you were still alive, and
luckily h@- believed me. When that

a dood thing that I learned about
these things in university and we
could open up the container. It''s
great to see that you''re fine now."
Yuna had brought the conversation back to her indirectly saving Tobias again.
