His future with Natalie.
Could they still have a chance to be together in the future?
Could they even have a future?
He couldn't.
Suddenly, he felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
He looked into the distance.
Maybe he just needed to sober up a little.
Tobias found Cecilia.
"Mother, I'll agree to the engagement with Lucy." Tobias said.
He said it in such a low voice that no one could sense any emotion in it.
It was just like his face, there was no expression at all.
Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief.
Did Tobias finally think it through?
Or was he a little tempted by Lucy?
When Cecilia was looking through the list of fiancees for Tobias, she deliberately chose the type that was closest to Natalie.
She was easy-going and simple, with a lovely appearance too.
Men's love for women was mostly similar. Cecilia hoped that Tobias would focus on other women as soon as possible.
"Now tell me where Natalie is." Tobias added.
Cecilia frowned.
It seemed like she was overthinking.
The reason Tobias agreed to marry Lucy was to find out about Natalie.
He wanted to know where Natalie was.
But he could not do anything to his own mother, so he could only compromise.
"Not yet. I need to be assured until you and Lucy are engaged." Cecilia stared at Tobias. Engagement?
Tobias lost his focus for a moment.
