Chapter 230
She lifted her gaze to look at Tobias and asked, "Tell me, do you love me or not?"
A flash of hesitation flashed in Tobias' eyes.
The light that had just lit up in Natalie's eyes dimmed down again.
Tobias still did not love her.
He said that he fell for her, liked her, but he still didn't love her.
Natalie wanted to leave.
She became greedy. The more she loved, the greedier she became.
She not only wanted Tobias to like her, but she also wanted him to love her.
Otherwise, what was the purpose of this engagement?
What Remington said was true. One could like a lot of people, but they could only love one person.
If Tobias only liked her, did that mean that he could like another person as well?
She didn't want this.
If Tobias didn't love her, she would rather leave before she loved him more.
When Natalie wanted to leave, she realized that her feet were rooted to the ground. Tobias hugged her tightly and did not let go.
"Tobias," Natalie looked at him and said, "Since you don't love me, let me go."
Tobias stared at her. "What if I don't want to let go?"
"Let me go."
"I don't want to," Tobias said in a firm tone.
Natalie suddenly realized that their conversation was immature and meaningless.
She looked at Tobias and said, "Tobias, what the hell do you want?"
If he didn't love her, why didn't he let her go?
If the engagement was for Cecilia's sake, he could find any other woman who would gladly pretend to be a couple with him. Why must it be Natalie?
Tobias' eyes darkened with a mix of emotions as he stared at Natalie. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Natalie, I want you. I want you for life."
Natalie's heart sank.
Why did this man, who obviously did not love her, say such sweet words to her?
He said that he wanted her for the rest of his life.
If he said this before, Natalie would not have been able to control herself.
But now, she only felt a sense of inexplicable irony.
Natalie bit her lips and said, "But you don't love me!"
Tobias stood still and straight; he did not move.
His eyes flashed with a mixture of emotions.
"Natalie," he said slowly with a trace of exhaustion, "You will find out if I love you or not in the near future."
"No, I want to know now!" Natalie was still persistent.
Tobias stared straight into her soul and replied, "Natalie, love is not about making empty promises. You have to feel it with your heart."
Natalie blinked repeatedly.
Tobias' words touched her heart.
Indeed, she was very clear about how he treated her.
Nonetheless, she still said stubbornly, "Tobias, you don't even want to tell me you love me! What more do you have to say?"
Tobias pursed his thin lips tightly.
The watch he wore on his wrist reflected the moonlight faintly.
After a long time, he finally said, "It's late. Let's go back first."
"I don't want to." Natalie was stubborn.
Tobias seemed to have expected Natalie to say that, so he picked her up again.
Natalie tried her best to fight against it.
"Tobias, you b*stard, put me down. Put me down now!"
Tobias turned a deaf ear.
In the end, Natalie stopped hitting him as her hand hurt.
She realized that she looked like a b*tch as she was screaming and hitting Tobias at the same time.
Natalie knew that she could not do anything, so she could only let Tobias take her in.
Selina stood at the door.
When she saw Natalie, she immediately smiled and asked, "Natalie, you're back! Are you hungry? Would you like me to make some food for you, or do you want a bag of chips instead?"
Tobias took a look at her and said, "Selina, go to sleep!"
Selina felt scared and ran back to her room.
She called Cecilia.
"Selina." Due to the time difference, Cecilia was applying a mask; she was not asleep.
"Mom, it's over!" Selina exaggerated, "Your dream of having a grandson is going to be shattered. Natalie is still a virgin and has never slept with Tobias. Tobias is impotent and Natalie ran away from anger!"
Cecilia was speechless.
"Selina, are you kidding?" Cecilia raised her voice.
Selina said in a serious tone, "Mom, I swear to God that I'm not lying. No wonder Tobias was single all these years; he's impotent..."
Cecilia was at a loss for words.
Tobias brought Natalie back to the bedroom and threw her onto the soft bed.
Natalie sat up quickly.
Tobias' eyes were filled with an indescribable emotion as he looked at Natalie. "Natalie, think about my feelings for you."
After that, he turned around to leave the room and shut the door.
Natalie rushed to the door and wanted to run away, but when she held the doorknob, her hand slipped off instantly.
Even if she escaped now, there was no doubt that Tobias would bring her back again.
Natalie went back to bed. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Since she could not escape, she decided to sleep.
Anyway, Tobias had to go to work the next day, so she would leave after he left the house.
Natalie thought, "I'll leave tomorrow! After I leave, I will have nothing to do with him."
Her thought was bold, but her heart broke as she felt sad and disappointed.
As time went by, she felt like she could not understand Tobias.
Everything Tobias had done and said to her made it seem like he loved her.
But why did he refuse to say it out loud?
The next day, Natalie got up very early. She had a lot of things on her mind and could not sleep the night before.
In the end, she fell asleep due to tiredness.
However, she did not expect to wake up after only a few hours of sleep.
As soon as she woke up, she was shocked.
She saw Tobias.
Tobias was standing by the bed. He stared at her with his dark eyes.
Fortunately, it was daytime, so the room was bright due to the sunlight.
Otherwise, if it was night time, Natalie would be scared to death.
"Tobias, why are you looking at me so early in the morning?" Natalie's heart was pounding.
"Get up and eat," Tobias said calmly.
Natalie sat up all of a sudden.
She looked at Tobias and asked, "Tobias, do you love me or not?"
She asked the same question as she did the night before.
