Chapter 278
He intended to take Natalie for a drink to relieve her pain. He did not expect Natalie to drink so much. It seemed like she could not control herself.
Before Remington could take away the glass of wine from her hands, she had gulped it all in one go.
She shook the empty glass and said, "Who says that I'm drunk? I'm not drunk. I'm sober. I'm still very sober!"
Remington looked at Natalie helplessly and asked, "Natalie, look at yourself. Are you sure that you're sober?"
"Of course I'm sober. I'm sober now. If you don't believe me, I'll sing a song for you," she said. She held up the wine glass and used it as a microphone. Then she started to sing.
Her singing was off and it was really unpleasant to the ears.
A lot of people looked over.
Remington's eyes twitched. He said, "Natalie, you're really drunk. Let's take you over for a rest."
Remington helped her up and she leaned against him.
The strong alcohol scent that came from Natalie surrounded Remington.
The intense alcohol scent was mixed with the fragrance of a young girl.
Remington's face grew darker, becoming as dark as ink, and it would not fade away.
The fragrance of a young girl.
He restrained his desires and helped Natalie to the nearest hotel.
Natalie had already passed out.
When he helped her to the door of the suite, she suddenly bent down.
She threw up.
Her vomit went all over her clothes, and they got dirty.
Remington sighed helplessly.
He should not have brought her for a drink. Who knew that she would drink this much, to the point where she would throw up.
Remington pressed the pager in the suite. He asked the staff members to send him some clean clothes.
Soon, the staff member arrived with a set of clean clothes.
"Natalie, go and change your clothes,"
Remington whispered in her ear.
Natalie stared at Remington blankly; she did not respond at all.
The blank look on her face stopped Remington's breathing.
Her eyes were crystal clear and a layer of rippling water could be seen.
After a while, he lifted Natalie's chin with his right hand and looked down at her with some confusion in his eyes. He said with a magnetic voice, "Natalie, I'll give you three minutes. If you don't change
yourself, I'll change your clothes for you. You should know very well that I've never been a gentleman."
Natalie giggled, but she still did not change her clothes.
Her face was as red as an apple. She was so cute and alluring that it would be hard for one to resist taking a bite.
That's right; a big, hard bite.
Three minutes passed.
There was a strange look in Remington's eyes. "If you aren't going to change your clothes, I'll change it for you."
His hand reached to the first button of Natalie's shirt. His eyes caught a glimpse of her snow-white skin and he could clearly feel the warmth in her hands.
Remington's eyes darkened like a black rock giving off a malicious light.
He had experienced it with countless women, so much so that he did not get intense impulses from sex with women anymore. To him, it was just like a sport.
However, when he saw the majestic view below Natalie's neck, he found it hard to control himself despite not seeing the actual 'lovely white rabbit' of hers.
Remington never, ever controlled his desires.
He wanted Natalie.
He had long wanted to sleep with her.
His charming eyes locked onto Natalie. He said in a gentle voice, "Natalie, if you don't refuse now, I will take it as a yes. I'll take off your clothes and then..."
Remington's gaze narrowed and his eyes glittered with a charming light.
It had been a long time since he felt such impulses for a woman. He could not control himself at all.
How could Natalie even refuse him?
She did not respond at all. She did not even know where she was now and her mind was completely blank.
Remington's hands reached the next button on Natalie's shirt and his eyes got darker.
"Whitlock," Natalie suddenly called out.
Hearing that, Remington stopped his movements.
He stared at Natalie, and his tone was hoarse from his desires, "Natalie, what did you say?"
Natalie looked at him and smiled.
This smile made him pause.
He suddenly remembered the first time he met Natalie. She also smiled at him like that.
It was the first time he saw such a clean and innocent smile.
"Tobias, I like you so very much," Natalie said.
Although Natalie was drunk, she was still able to utter a clear and complete sentence.
Remington completely stopped moving upon hearing it.
After a while, he pressed the pager in the hotel again and said, "Get me a waitress."
Bang!
A laptop fell on the floor with a loud bang.
Tobias wanted to focus his attention on working.
He had always been calm and he knew that he had to divert his emotions during a time like this.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could not do it.
His reasoning could not overcome the surge of emotions within him.
He was so furious with Natalie that he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Benjamin!" Tobias said coldly. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After a while, Benjamin respectfully entered the ward. He said, "Mr. Whitlock."
"Find Natalie and get her to come back."
The loud bang of his laptop falling knocked some sense into him.
"Yes, Mr. Whitlock," he said.
After Benjamin left, Tobias felt more and more depressed. He was sad until he heard the sound of high heels stepping on the floor. It was coming from the door.
Tobias frowned.
A slim figure walked into the ward.
The girl was dressed in a light-colored dress. She had put on makeup and she called out, "Tobias."
Tobias frowned harder and asked, "What are you doing here?"
His straightforwardness changed Winnie's expressions.
She softened her voice and said, "Tobias, I came to see you. You were badly injured, so I wanted to see you."
Tobias' voice was still indifferent. He said, "Winnie, since we have broken up, there is no need for us to meet again. It will only make things more awkward so you should leave."
Winnie did not move; it was as if she was rooted to the ground.
"Tobias, are you still angry because of that situation? I came to find you today because I want to explain it to you. It's not what you think," Winnie explained.
"There is no need to explain. Just go," Tobias said in a cold tone.
Winnie's eyes became filled with tears, making her look pitiful.
She did not know that he could be this cold, as if all the tenderness of the past were all faked.
"Tobias, don't treat me like this," Winnie sobbed.
Tobias lowered his voice, and his eyes darkened. He said, "Winnie, your unwillingness to give up will only disturb our lives. I refused your calls and emails. You are smart, so you should understand my feelings. I never had anything to do with you. Now that I am married, it is even less likely that I will ever have anything to do with you."
Winnie gritted her teeth and said, "Married? You're talking about Natalie, right? Tobias, she doesn't deserve you at all!"
Winnie was starting to get emotional.
Tobias' eyes turned cold, like a flash of iciness had passed by and fallen into his dark eyes.
