Chapter 214
"No, I won't," Tobias straightforwardly answered.
Natalie was left speechless.
She looked at Tobias with an aggrieved expression.
She wasn't expecting this answer!
"I don't know how to swim either. I'll get people to save you," Tobias said blandly.
Natalie pouted. "Shouldn't you be worried if I fell into the sea? You won't have the time to think it over. You should just simply disregard the fact that you can't swim and jump down for me."
"If I i I log ical ly jumped down to save you, it will only delay the rescue time," Tobias argued back.
Natalie looked at Tobias, who seemed serious and rational. Her heart pounded.
Tobias was always rational. There was not even a chance he would go out of control.
Natalie sighed deeply.
"Tobias, have you ever lost control?" Natalie looked at Tobias.
Tobias remained silent for a moment. When he was about to speak, a man came from afar.
The man was extremely good looking. Who else could it be except for Remington.
Natalie felt dizzy.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world? She had been on the deck three times and each time, she would bump into him. Now, she was meeting him with Tobias.

Natalie discovered that it was the same for Tobias as well.
It seemed that she was the only one affected.
Natalie's eyes trembled.
Perhaps she was overthinking, or the scenes from those fictional novels had influenced her.
The truth was that Tobias and Remington were brothers. There was actually no dispute between them like the ones described in the novels.
"Good morning." Remington was beaming.
Tobias remained silent but nodded slightly.
He then fixed his sight onto Natalie and said, "Good morning, gorgeous Natalie."
"You should address her as Mrs. Whitlock. She's your sister- in- law," Tobias said indifferently.
There was an imperceptible pressure in his tone.
Remington's expression did not change. "Tobias, I have known Natalie since a long time ago and I have always called her 'gorgeous Natalie'. It's hard for me to switch all of a sudden."
Tobias' eyes were murderous as they stared at Remington. "Even if you can't do it, it won't change the fact that she's your sister-in-law."
Remington smiled and said, "There was once someone else who nearly became my sister-in-law. Things are always unpredictable. Don't you agree, Tobias?"
Remington put on a smile that had a hidden intention.
Tobias gave Remington a warning look.
Natalie felt stressed just by watching from the side.
She could tell Tobias and Remington were having an indirect confrontation. It seemed that they were more than just brothers based on the situation.
Remington stretched and said, "I'm going to have breakfast. See you, gorgeous Natalie."
After that, he strode away, and they looked at his handsome back.
Tobias' expression was cold and he was emotionless.
Natalie lowered her voice and said, "Tobias, it seems that you're not on a good term with Remington."
"This is how it is." Tobias' tone and expression were as cold as the North Pole.
Natalie stopped asking when she noticed that he was not interested in talking more about it.
She realized that there was a layer of dirt covering the railing on the deck when she placed her hands on it.
"I need to wash my hands. Wait for me," Natalie told Tobias.
Tobias nodded.
Natalie went straight to the bathroom.
She had been thinking about the relationship between Tobias and Remington.
They didn't seem to be like the half-brothers described in those fictional novels where they hated each other, but they weren't close either.
Natalie kept thinking about it as she returned to the deck.
Tobias stood far away.
He was standing casually. His shoulders were wide and broad, giving him a firm stance. The way he stood was as if he was a model.
Although his face couldn't be seen, people could tell that he was stunning just by looking at his side profile.
Natalie fluttered her eyelashes.
How could a man as outstanding as Tobias belong to her?
She suddenly felt astonished.
God sent her such an excellent man as compensation for a miserable childhood.
Natalie smiled.
When she was about to walk over, she suddenly stopped.
Natalie saw that a woman was walking to Tobias in a flirtatious manner.
It was obvious that it was the woman who was with Susan earlier. She even shamelessly suggested sleeping with Remington and Susan.
Natalie rolled her eyes.
She wondered what the woman was up to.
Tobias didn't lay an eye on her until she stood in front of him "Hello, Mr. Whitlock." The woman's voice was sickeningly coy. "I am Rose, the daughter of the Lockwood Group. It'll be nice if we could get to know each other?"
The woman's eyes gave off a charming light.
Tobias replied with an icy tone. "I'm sorry. I'm not interested at all."
His face was filled with coldness, deterring anyone from getting closer to him.
The woman was stunned for a moment. After noticing that Tobias wouldn't even spare her a glance, she left uneasily.
Natalie was shocked by the scene.
This lascivious woman was really greedy. First, she asked for a threesome with Remington, and now she wanted to lay her fingers on Tobias.
As soon as the woman left, another lady approached Tobias.
She was in a pink dress and she looked like a bright apple.
This young girl looked young. She looked so youthful that Natalie thought that she could still be underaged.
She stood in front of Tobias with her face blushed. "Mr. Whitlock, that woman was too old for you so you're not interested in her. I am only sixteen years old. Can I be your partner?"
Natalie was dumbfounded.
She was sixteen years old! Only sixteen years old!
Were all the sixteen years old these days so brave?
Tobias answered in an icy tone, "You should study more when you're young. Otherwise, you're wasting your brain capacity."
The girl was stunned for a moment and her eyes turned red.
She stomped and left.
Natalie saw that there were still other women watching from a distance and wanted to try their luck.
Natalie strode toward Tobias held onto his hand as she intended to declare him as her husband.
Those women who were eager to make an attempt immediately became envious and jealous.
"Hey, Tobias, you're so cold- hearted. That young lady was tearing up in anger, and she's only sixteen years old."
Natalie blinked her eyes.
"This is to prevent them from having false hope, so there is no need to be reserved." Tobias glanced at Natalie.
Natalie rolled her eyes.
Well, Tobias made his point.
"Tsk, I just went to the bathroom and two women came requesting to be your companion." Natalie pouted and said, "There are still many women waiting to take action."
Tobias' eyes darkened. "Natalie, didn't you know your husband is a charming man?"
