She thought that her hatred for Tobias had gradually dissipated, but when she saw him again, the hatred in her heart rose again. Her hatred for him was deep, which would never go away.

"So you want to go to a hotel or to my place?" Remington suddenly changed the topic.

He said it in a relaxed and pleasant tone, as if he was trying hard to break the depressing atmosphere.

Natalie was shocked.

She looked at Remington. She did not know what he meant by that.

"Don't you understand?"

Natalie shook her head, looking confused.

She really did not understand.

Remington smiled gently. His smile looked dodgy.

"Natalie, didn't you say you'll sleep with me tonight? I have great skills, why don't you try it?"

Natalie glared at him angrily.

"I was deliberately provoking Tobias just now.

It was a joke."

"So you were just using me, weren't you?" She looked at Natalie meaningfully.

She blushed.

Natalie felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry."

"It's all right." Remington said with a gentle tone, "I am happy to be used by you. When you said that my skills are not bad, it makes me thrilled."

Natalie was speechless.

She looked away, "That's enough jokes. Please send me back."

"To your friend's apartment?"

"That's right."

Remington showed a deep look, "Wouldn't that place be too small? Why don't I replace you a suitable place to stay? Or, since we are on such good terms, why don't I give you a house as a gift? In that way, you can have a place to settle in too."

Natalie immediately refused, "No, I have been studying in college for several years, which you have helped me out a lot. I can work now. I don't want to accept any more help from you!"

Remington's breathing was so light that no one could hear it.

He knew that Natalie was really stubborn.

Back in the United States, she could have just studied and worried about nothing else. However, she still worked part-time whenever she was free. All of that was because she did not want to accept too much help.

Actually, why should she do that?

It was not a good thing for a woman to be too stubborn.

Wasn't it good to be pampered by a man?

"Then I'll send you home." Remington said after a while.

She nodded.

When she got out of the car, Natalie thanked Remington once again, "Thank you. I felt relieved when I provoked Tobias just now."

Remington pointed at himself and said, "If you want to provoke him again next time, you can use me. Don't say those dirty words again. Even if you want to say those dirty things in front of him, I can demonstrate it with you."

Natalie stared at him.

"No thanks. Don't be so full of yourself."

Remington smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.

Those small talks with Remington really

brought her out of her bad mood.

That was Remington's charm. Anyone would suddenly be happy when they were with him.

"I'm going up. Bye." Natalie waved goodbye to Remington.

When she entered the apartment, she realized that Yvonne was not at home.

It was late, so Natalie called Yvonne.

Yvonne said that her filming would take the entire night.

Natalie sighed and said, "Yvonne, being an actress is really hard work. Besides, you don't earn that much being in a supporting role. You might as well replace another job." Yvonne, on the other hand, was very persistent, "No, this is my passion. Do you understand what a passion is?"

Natalie hung up while deep thoughts flashed through her mind.

In fact, she had the same thoughts as Yvonne.

She thought that being an actress was particularly interesting.

But later, when she was in the United States, she chose to study law.

Natalie did not sleep well that evening.

She dreamed of her child.

Her dead son.

He appeared in front of her, covered in blood. Then, she saw Tobias and that woman's son. He looked so beautiful and healthy.

Natalie felt hatred in her heart.

Why?! Why did her son have to die?!

How could Tobias and that woman's son be still alive and well!

Why?! The Gods were so unfair to her!

When she woke up, she was sweating all over.

She went for a cold shower.

That dream she had was a little bit too much.

She was a person with strong principles.

Although Tobias had harmed her, it had nothing to do with his son.

That child was innocent.

Her hatred should not have anything to do with Tobias' son.

After changing to another set of clothes, Natalie prepared herself to go down for a walk.

Perhaps she would feel better after getting some fresh air.

As soon as she opened the door, Natalie could smell the pungent cigarette smoke.

She frowned, feeling disgusted.

Who could it be? Who could smoke so heavily?

Natalie walked down the stairs. Suddenly, her footsteps came to a halt.

Natalie saw Tobias.

He leaned against the wall, and his fingers were holding a cigarette.

Wisps of smoke came out from his mouth.

The tiny firelight from the cigarette made him look more handsome.

Her hands trembled.

How did he know where she live?

After a while, she hid her thoughts.

She took big strides down the stairs. She wanted to act as if she hadn't seen Tobias, so she walked past him.

But just as she reached where Tobias was standing, he stepped forward and blocked her.

Natalie was one step above of him.

But because of Tobias' towering body, he still stood taller than Natalie.

He looked her up and down, finally fixed his gaze on her face.

Natalie heaved in a deep breath.

She told herself that she had to calm down.

She could not be as spineless as a jellyfish before.

She wanted to be arrogant in front of Tobias. She must not let him live happily.

Natalie's eyes twitched, and she said in a sarcastic manner, "A civilized person knows not to block someone's way."

Tobias' face darkened.

It was the first time someone described him as uncivilized.

But he was not angry.

He stared at Natalie with his bloodshot eyes, "Natalie, you didn't do anything with Remington, did you? You were lying to me last night!"

His last sentence was an affirmation.

Natalie's breathing stopped.

She quickly came to her senses.

Both Remington and her did not realize that Tobias followed them the previous night.

He even followed her back to the house!

It was also possible that he stayed in the corridor all night long. That must be why he was so certain.

Natalie felt a little embarrassed, as if he had seen through her lies.

She stared at Tobias angrily.

"You and Remington didn't do anything, did you?" Tobias asked again.

As he spoke, the smell of cigarettes kept wafting into her nose.

For some reason, her mind was in a mess.

"That is none of your business!" Natalie said with resentment.

A trace of pain flashed through Tobias' eyes, "He is really not suitable for you. He is too fickle. You must replace a man who is loyal."
