Natalie's eyes were shimmering with tears.

Her efforts were not in vain after all. When Peter was cynical towards her at the beginning, she desperately wanted out.

Fortunately, she didn't leave.

Although Peter probably still didn't like her, it was already quite rare for him to take the initiative to bring up the matter of the wedding.

Natalie was happy.

"Auntie, I believe that Grandpa will definitely like me in the future," said Natalie seriously.

She could see that in spite of Peter's oddball attitude which made it hard to get along with him, he was generally a good person. And Natalie was also a good person.

She believed that good people would definitely like good people.

One day, Peter would like her.

"It will, that day will definitely come." Cecilia smiled and continued, "You and Tobias should go home first, Hayden can stay here and keep Peter and I company for a while. Tobias' father has returned too, so I must remain in the United States

for some time."

Because Hayden's kindergarten was going to be closed for winter vacation soon, and Peter was reluctant for Hayden to leave, they let Hayden stay with the Whitlock family for a period of time in the United States.

Coincidentally, it wasn't convenient for Natalie to bring Hayden along for this trip to North Europe, hence letting Hayden stay in the United States was the best decision.

"Alright, Auntie. Then have Hayden accompany all of you," said Natalie.

Cecilia glanced at the time. "Then, it's time for you two to depart now."

On the flight to North Europe, Natalie gazed out of the window.

There were a lot of floating clouds in the sky.

Natalie felt uneasy.

Fortunately, Tobias had been holding her hand tightly, making her feel a little more secure.

"Natalie, we won't be arriving so soon. Take a nap first," said Tobias gently.

"I don't know why, but I can't fall asleep." At the thought of seeing the woman who sent her to the orphanage soon, Natalie felt nervous.

"Natalie, you're too anxious." Tobias held Natalie's hand tighter.

Natalie's eyelashes trembled. "Yes, I'm feeling too anxious. I'm already a grown-up after all, yet I don't know who my own parents are. Tobias, do you think that my birth story would be like some huge secret? Like those written in novels, maybe I'm the daughter of a syndicate leader or something like that."

Tobias burst into laughter.

"Natalie, you think too much."

Novels were novels, life was life.

Natalie curled her lips self-deprecatingly and said, "You're right, I am thinking too much. Maybe my parentage is just a normal one..."

She paused before continuing, "But no matter how ordinary I am, I still want to know who my birth parents are."

When she said this, her gaze became complex.

Tobias's pitch black eyes stared at Natalie intensely as he said, "Natalie, don't be too anxious. We'll be arriving in North Europe soon. Although that person seems to be gravely ill now, she'll recover regardless. Besides, I'll get the world's best doctors to diagnose her. Don't worry, the mystery of your birth will soon unravel. Well know where you came from, and who your parents are soon. Everything will be unraveled in time."

Tobias's words made Natalie's eyes brighten with hope.

Everything would be unraveled soon...

Natalie smiled and said, "Maybe you can't understand my feelings, how eager I feel. Ever since I found out that I wasn't Madison's birth daughter, I've constantly been wondering about who my real parents are. This thought has been festering in my heart. It's not like I have any plans after replaceing my parents..."

Natalie paused and said in a bitter tone, "After all, my parents must have abandoned me, otherwise I wouldn't have been sent to the orphanage. You're right, real life isn't the same as novels, there's no way I'm a daughter of some gangster. The biggest possibility is perhaps my parents had a patriarchal view, so they decided to abandon me, or even because I was born out of wedlock. Whatever it is, I still want to know who my parents are, and I want to know where I came from."

The sadness in her tone made Tobias' breathing hitch.

"Maybe you don't understand what I said. After all, you have parents. You certainly can't understand my feelings." "Natalie, I understand what you said," Tobias suddenly said.

He tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing her face. "Natalie, I love you so much, how can I not feel it? I understand what you said, but don't worry, I will definitely help you replace your identity. And, even if you don't have parents, you'll still have me. Natalie, you'll still have me."

His words and deep eyes warmed Natalie's heart.

Yes, she still had Tobias.

She had grown up without knowing who her parents were, and this was something that she definitely lost out on in comparison with many other people.

But there was one thing that she could compare with others.

She had Tobias.

The best man in the world was by her side.

Natalie could not help but look at Tobias. He was unbelievably handsome, and his face was full of warmth, a warmth that touched others' hearts. Natalie remembered when she first met Tobias, he always had a cold expression on his face.

At that time, Natalie always felt that Tobias was very, very cold.

Now, he was becoming warmer.

Perhaps he was still cold to others, but when he faced Natalie, his gaze and tone of speech were always warm. He was totally the fabled nice guy. Suddenly, the corners of Natalie's lips curled up gently. "Yes, I have you. Even if I lose the world, I still have you."

All of a sudden, she felt less anxious.

Before she left, she had thought about a lot of things, and worried a lot.

She was afraid that the woman who brought her to the orphanage would remain ill and unconscious, then she would have no way of discovering her identity. She was also afraid of the sadness which could come after replaceing out the truth of her birth.

For example, if her parents were just like those parents who had patriarchal ideals and threw her away. If this was the case, how was she going to face them? But now, Natalie suddenly had no more worries nor sorrows.

Because no matter what, she still had Tobias.

She had the best man in the world by her side. There was nothing for her to worry about.

Natalie couldn't help leaning her head on Tobias' shoulder, as her eyes looked out of the window of the plane.

White clouds were still outside the window.

Suddenly, Natalie focused her gaze.

She thought she saw James.

A white cloud slowly morphed into James' figure. He stood in the sky, smiling at her.

"Dad," Natalie mumbled.

She stretched out her hand and touched the window.
