Natalie forced a smile, "Okay then. I will send you home."

She ordered a taxi for the two of them and sent Hayden back to the Whitlock family's villa.

When they arrived at the villa, a black Bentley pulled up at the front gate.

Natalie held Hayden's hand gently and guided him out of the taxi. Meanwhile, Tobias got out of his car.

At that moment, their eyes met.

The pale moonlight barely illuminated their faces.

Hayden shook off Natalie's hand and ran towards Tobias, leaping as he laughed, "Daddy! You're back."

Tobias nodded at him.

He scooped Hayden into his arms and muttered, "You go in with Auntie. I need to talk to Natalie."

Hayden blinked at Tobias thoughtfully.

Then, he hopped down from Tobias's arms and tottered into the villa with the maid.

Natalie was about to leave after seeing Hayden walk into the house.

"Natalie," Tobias called her name.

Her footsteps faltered, but she did not stop walking.

She swung open the car door and said, "Sir, please send me back to my apartment."

Tobias immediately walked to the window of the driver's seat and declared, "Don't you dare."

His deep voice echoed in the silence of the night.

The driver was frightened by Tobias's aura. Needless to say, he daren't disobey.

He turned to smile bitterly at Natalie and gave a random excuse, "I'm sorry, Miss. I'm off duty now. I have something else to do." Natalie's eyelashes fluttered.

With no choice, she got out of the car.

"What do you want, Tobias?" She asked in a monotonous tone, devoid of all emotion.

"I'll send you home," Tobias offered gently, his voice smooth as silk.

Natalie said nothing and walked straight towards his car.

She knew that if she didn't agree to let him send her home, he wasn't planning to let her go back.

Since he had already offered to send her home and it was not a big deal for her anyway, she could just treat it as a free ride.

She sat in the back seat and looked out of the window during the drive, avoiding his gaze.
