Chapter 256
It was nice that she looked so innocent and lovely.
Remington had never seen a woman more naive and cute than her.
"Mr. Fox, do you like that pretty woman? Is that why you're here?" Natalie asked. She looked like she suddenly realized something.
Remington smiled and did not say anything.
"Natalie, it's nice to be simple. It's a very good thing," said Remington with his deep eyes.
Natalie agreed with that statement.
It was hard to live when people were too complicated. It would be fine if it was simple.
"Yes," Natalie said and nodded with a smile.
"I hope you'll stay that way forever," said Remington.
Natalie was about to nod. Suddenly, she stopped breathing.
Why did she feel about Remington being weird that day? What he said was baffling.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Natalie said and stared at Remington.
"No," said Remington as a smile flashed across his lips.
He stood up with an upright posture and said, "It's so sunny today. There are many exotic beauties waiting for me to go out on a date. But of course, if you, Miss Natalie, are willing to enjoy the day with me, I can reject them."
Natalie's eyelashes fluttered.
She felt that she was overthinking things. Remington had nothing to say to her at all. He was purely capricious, and his words were always irrelevant.
"I'm not interested. You'd better stay with your foreign beauty," said Natalie.
Remington said with regret, "Miss Natalie, I'll see you again then."
"Well, see you around, maybe," Natalie said and waved at Remington.
After Remington left, Natalie went upstairs after finishing her food alone. She had nothing to do in the afternoon so she took a nice nap.
It was a long sleep.
Natalie had a dream.
She did not expect to dream about the man named Jack Perry.
The man whom she had obviously only met twice.
In her dream, Natalie kept holding the man's hand in tears.
She seemed to be getting smaller all of a sudden, looking like a little girl.
"Jack, Jack, don't go. I don't want you to go. Please don't go! Please! Stay with me!" Natalie sobbed and said to Jack in her dream.
She woke her up as she called out, "Jack!".
She had goosebumps all over her body.
That woman, who was named Wendy, seemed to have called that man's name. Why did she also follow suit and call that man's name?
Natalie touched her head. It seemed that she wasn't used to having nightmares.
She got out of bed and realized that it was getting late.
When Natalie was wondering whether she should have dinner in the restaurant, Tobias came back.
"Just getting up?" Tobias said when he saw the bleary-eyed Natalie.
Natalie rubbed her eyes and said, "Yeah, dreaming, sleeping late."
"Wet dream?" Tobias teased.
Natalie was silent.
She glared at Tobias and said, "Nothing, it's just a normal dream."
Having said that, she paused suddenly.
In fact, it was not a normal dream. It was kind of weird.
First of all, she dreamt of a man whom she had only met twice before, and then she dreamt that she called him "Jack".
Wait, hold up, Jack.
For a fleeting moment, a flash of light flashed through her mind suddenly.
She wanted to catch it, but she could not hold on to it no matter how hard she tried. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"What's wrong, Natalie?" Tobias said. He came over and patted Natalie on her head.
Natalie snapped back.
She groped her own head subconsciously. "Nothing. I just had a familiar feeling suddenly, but I can't remember what it is," said Natalie.
Tobias frowned gently.
He thought of those bits of Natalie's past that had been buried.
He held Natalie's hands and said, "If you can't remember, don't think about it. Natalie, I'll take you to dinner."
Natalie's eyes lit up.
She nodded excitedly. She said, "Okay, let's go eat now."
Seeing Natalie's eyes blaze as soon as he mentioned eating, a glimmer of a smile flashed in Tobias' eyes.
"Shall we eat in the restaurant downstairs?" Natalie walked up the stairs with Tobias and asked.
"We'll go outside. I'll walk with you when I have time at night," said Tobias.
Natalie became even more excited to hear that.
After leaving the hotel, she got into Tobias' car and they drove all the way to a restaurant.
It was a signature restaurant that provided fine seafood and roast meats.
It was also the first time Natalie ate such exotic foods. It seemed that she was eating well.
"Natalie, we'll leave Washington tomorrow night," said Tobias suddenly.
"Have you completed your task?" said Natalie. She was cutting a piece of meat with a knife.
Tobias' eyes darkened.
"Yes," he said faintly.
In fact, things had not progressed much, but he did not expect Winnie to be here. Therefore, he had to end the process in advance.
He did not want Winnie to meet with Natalie.
It was not because he had a connection with Winnie.
Instead, he knew Natalie's character. If she saw Winnie, she would definitely overthink.
However, leaving Washington two days later did not mean that he would go back home immediately.
Tobias planned to take Natalie back to his family home.
Currently, only his mother and sister had met Natalie, so she should also meet the other elders in his family.
"Natalie, we'll go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow. I'll take you to my family home," Tobias said lightly.
Bang!
Natalie was preparing to eat a piece of meat. When she heard that, the meat fell directly from her mouth and onto the table.
What? Did she hear it correctly? Tobias said that he would take her home.
Tobias glanced at Natalie's like expression on her face. He picked up the piece of meat and brought it to Natalie's mouth.
ape-
"There's no need to fuss. No one will eat you," said Tobias.
Natalie ate the meat that was at her lips.
"Well, the meat tastes good," Natalie thought.
However, the expression on her face dimmed down again. No matter how delicious the meat was, it could not dampen the panic she felt about going to the Whitlock family home.
Although Tobias had told her last time, Natalie thought that it would not be soon. Thus, she was not ready yet.
But now, Tobias said that he would take her home in two days. How could she not panic?
"Tobias, don't scare me," Natalie said in a weak voice.
"No, I wouldn't scare you," Tobias said and looked calm.
"I won't go," said Natalie, gritting her teeth.
Although she knew she would go sooner or later, she had to be prepared. Now, she was afraid!
"Why?" Tobias asked, glancing at Natalie.
"I'm ugly," Natalie said and blinked her eyelashes.
"The ugly daughter-in-law would have to meet her parents- in- law sooner or later," said Tobias.
Natalie didn't know how to answer.
Natalie added, "I'm afraid."
Just thinking of going to Tobias' house in two days, she was really frightened.
"I'm here," said Tobias in a low voice.
"But I'm still afraid," Natalie said and shrank her neck.
Tobias' gaze deepened.
Moments later, he sat next to Natalie and then grabbed her to put her on his lap.
