Chapter 156
Seeing that Tobias wanted to personally cook for Natalie, Aunt Lee couldn't help but smile.
She knew this meant that Natalie and Tobias must have patched things up with each other.
Aunt Lee walked to Natalie and whispered, "Miss Godfrey, I suppose this is a silver lining behind the clouds. You've finally managed to smooth things out with Mr. Whitlock. You have no idea how panicked he was when you were missing!"
Natalie blinked a couple of times, and her lips curled up.
It was indeed a silver lining.
She wasn't injured, and not only did Tobias return to how he used to be, but he also let her in on a huge secret.
She was his only woman!
Natalie suddenly felt overjoyed, an unspeakable joy spread throughout her veins.
Soon, Tobias came over with a plate of pasta.
The pasta gave off a delicious aroma.
He handed a fork to Natalie and said, "Eat up."
Natalie took the fork and wolfed the pasta down.
She ate happily, with her legs up on the chair.
Halfway through the meal, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She noticed that Tobias' eyes were focused on her legs that were sitting cross-legged on the chair.
Natalie smiled awkwardly and was about to put her legs down.
"It's fine, just sit comfortably," Tobias said blandly.
Natalie's eyelashes trembled slightly. Tm so unladylike. Won't you despise me?"
Tobias looked at Natalie, "I already know that you're not a graceful lady since a long time ago. I won't despise you."
After hearing Tobias' positive answer, Natalie decided to go all out. After eating, she was very satisfied and rubbed her belly. "I'm so full!"
Suddenly, she felt a sense of drowsiness sweep over her.
She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, "How strange. Why am I sleepy when it's still so early?"
Tobias' eyebrows moved slightly.
Although Natalie had been in a coma for a while, it did not necessarily mean that she had a good rest. It was not surprising that she felt sleepy at this hour.
"Since you're sleepy, you should rest early.¹' He glanced at Natalie.
"Won't I act like a pig if I sleep right after I eat?" Natalie said.
"Are you only realizing this fact now?" Tobias said blandly.
"You!" Natalie glared at Tobias angrily.
Tobias took a deep look at Natalie, "Alright, go to
sleep. Head to bed early."
"Hmph, I'm going to bed then," Natalie said as she ran upstairs.
After Natalie went upstairs, Tobias' gaze darkened.
He left the Whitlock family's apartment.
Benjamin called, saying that Qasim's father had taken Qasim to a military base.
Mr. Lawson had brought Qasim there to ensure his safety.
"Mr. Whitlock, that place is filled with armed police, and our men can't fight against them all. It's too late to hire international mercenaries as well," Benjamin said to Tobias.
This time, Mr. Lawson had used his military connections. Tobias' men in the city could not deal with them at all. The only way was to pull some international forces, but unfortunately, by that time, Qasim would be long gone.
"I'll be there right away," Tobias got into his Ferrari.
In the night, a Ferrari raced through the highway to the military base.
Benjamin had been waiting there for a long time. Behind him was a group of mighty bodyguards in black, but compared with the group of policemen armed from head to toe, they were obviously no match forthem.
A Ferrari drove rapidly toward Benjamin in the night, which made him jump slightly.
Tobias had been keeping a low profile for most of his life. He deliberately hid his real strength in this city, thus he did not have many men under his command right now. However, it was clear that Tobias was determined to fight to the death with the Lawson family.
Unfortunately, their bodyguards in black were obviously unequipped to fight against the armed police.
The Ferrari screeched to a halt, and the door opened. Tobias got out of the car.
In the dark night, despite his cold demeanor, the man was like a ray of sun, dazzling and brilliant.
His aura was as powerful and noble as that of a true king.
"Mr. Whitlock, they've taken him in," Benjamin said to Tobias.
Tobias nodded and walked into the military base.
The armed police guarding outside immediately stopped him.
Tobias looked at these armed police faintly, but he did not stop his footsteps.
His expression was proud, and his aura was so dominating that it was actually suffocating for the people around him. For a moment, the armed police dared not stop him.
"Ask your captain to come out," Tobias said to one of them. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
His tone was cold and piercing.
The armed police didn't know the identity of the man in front of them, but judging by his strong demeanor, they could see that he was not an ordinary man. They didn't dare to disobey him and quickly reported this to their captain.
The captain was about 40 years old, wearing a light blue uniform. He was Qasim's uncle, Wilson Lawson.
The reason why Qasim could be so daring in this city was not only because his father was a high- ranking official, but also because of his connections with his uncle.
Usually, the captain of the military wouldn't waste any energy on some random president.
However, Tobias was different. His company was a colossal empire, and Wilson could not underestimate him.
As soon as Wilson saw Tobias, he reached out his hand enthusiastically and greeted, "Mr. Whitlock, I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you."
Tobias turned a blind eye to Wilson's outstretched hand and said coldly, "Bring Qasim out."
Wilson was taken aback.
He didn't expect Tobias to be so brazen. After all, he was still a captain; he couldn't afford to be humiliated.
Wilson's face darkened, "Mr. Whitlock, this is my territory. Why should I bring him out just because you asked me to?"
Tobias' eyes were calm. "How could a military base protect a criminal?" "Criminal? Mr. Whitlock, that's a little harsh to describe a child,” Wilson's eyes flashed with a sharp
light.
"He is already 18 years old, and he committed a kidnapping crime. He is also suspected of unsuccessful r*pe. Does that sound like a child to you?" Tobias looked at Wilson.
Wilson, as a dignified captain, felt small when he was facing Tobias.
After a while, Wilson looked away, "Mr. Whitlock, do you know what will happen if you break into a military base? There have been people who trespassed before. We shot them all to death." His tone was obviously threatening.
He didn't want to be on bad terms with Tobias, but Tobias wasn't backing down at all. However, Wilson was no pushover either.
What's more, Qasim's father had begged him on his knees this time. He must keep this nephew alive.
"You can try," Tobias was not intimidated at all. He looked straight into Wilson's eyes.
Wilson was a little surprised, as Tobias' nerves had exceeded his expectations.
He didn't have many men with him. If a fight really broke out, Tobias would lose for sure.
After a while, Wilson softened his tone, "Mr. Whitlock, my nephew is a disappointment. But he has already had his hand broken, and he knew he was wrong. What's more, the girl didn't actually suffer any injuries. Let's just shake hands and call it a truce. We don't have to overcomplicate things."
