Chapter 146
"Bang!"
The door suddenly closed, and the bus set off to its next destination.
Natalie instantly felt empty and hollow.
She couldn't remember how she got to Agaphen University, nor could she remember how she reached her classroom.
She finally came back to reality after Yvonne frantically waved her hands in front of her.
She gaped at Yvonne distantly.
Yvonne exclaimed, "D*mn. Natalie, stop looking at me with your puppy dog eyes, okay? You're being too enticing right now."
Natalie's eyes had always been exquisite. When she had that distant gaze on, her eyes sort of lost focus, and it was inexplicably attractive. She looked so innocent but sexy at the same time.
Natalie was speechless.
She looked at Yvonne, "Well, just say what you want to say. Your praise is flattering me."
Yvonne patted Natalie's head, "Silly girl, what have you been thinking about all morning?"
Natalie's eyes immediately drifted off again.
What was she thinking about? She didn't know either. In short, she suddenly felt that her mind was in a mess, and her head was filled with all sorts of nonsensical thoughts.
"There it is again, you're giving me that look. Are you trying to seduce me?" Yvonne covered Natalie's eyes with her hand, "I'm still worried about your friend's issue."
Natalie's breathing came to a halt.
A moment later, she gave a soft mumble.
"Your friend still hasn't managed to hook up with that handsome guy?"
Natalie was rendered speechless.
Why was s*x the only thing Yvonne thought about?
"She didn't succeed in delivering the lunchbox yesterday. The security guard stopped her from entering," Natalie's tone was a little gloomy.
Yvonne thought for a moment, "That does sound like quite a problem. After all, he is a handsome man. I'm sure loads of women were looking for him all the time. He must have many options."
Natalie lowered her tone, "It's not what you think. She just wants the guy to stop being so distant to her, plus she really does feel bad about what happened."
Natalie knew that she had said something wrong.
Remington told her, "How do you know that Tobias hasn't slept with other women?"
His sentence was a question, not a fact.
However, she had made up so many scenes in her head. She even asked Tobias, like a fool, "How many women have you slept with?"
Natalie was really ashamed of her foolishness and felt sorry towards Tobias.
How unfortunate of Tobias to have met such a stupid girl like her in his perfect, flawless life.
Yvonne patted Natalie's shoulder, "Don't overthink it. Everyone has their own fate."
Natalie bit her lower lip. After a while, she relaxed her mouth, and on her red lips were a set of bite marks.
Yvonne was right. Everyone had their own fate.
If Tobias really didn't forgive her, there was nothing she could do. If worse came to worst, they would have to void their agreement as a married couple.
If that man really had her in his heart, he would not hold a grudge for too long over a measly question.
Natalie returned to the Whitlock family's apartment early.
In her mind, she knew that everyone had their own fate. If Tobias did not forgive her, she had no choice but to leave. Natalie's mind might be thinking rationally but her body gave her away.
Perhaps Tobias would come home that day, so she wanted to cook dinner personally again.
Of course, she couldn't be sure, but it was always good to be prepared.
As soon as she got home, Aunt Lee knew what was on her mind.
"Miss Godfrey, preparing dinner again, I see."
Natalie nodded, "Yes." Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Aunt Lee sighed in her heart. She didn't know what had happened to Mr. Whitlock and Miss Godfrey. Mr. Whitlock hadn't come home for two days.
She prayed, "I hope Mr. Whitlock will come home today. It seems that Miss Godfrey cares about him very much."
Natalie was fussing around in the kitchen. As she was finishing up the final dish, she heard the front door unlock.
Her heart suddenly rose.
Tobias was home!
She suddenly felt nervous to the point she had never experienced before.
What should she say after Tobias walked in?
"Should I say 'Tobias, long time no see!"'
She then dismissed the thought, "No, it seems unsuitable. After all, it's only been two days."
"Then 'Tobias, I've been looking forward to your return every day. I'm glad you're back!"'
She shook her head again, "No, that will make me look desperate."
"Or 'Tobias, have a taste of the dishes I made. I made them especially for you, have a try!"'
Natalie felt this is OK. Perfectly OK.
When the footsteps reached the kitchen, Natalie turned around and showed a super charming smile.
"To-," She swallowed the first word back immediately as soon as she spoke.
The person who came in was not Tobias, but Cecilia.
"Mom," Natalie smiled awkwardly.
"You're cooking yourself?" Cecilia was surprised.
Natalie nodded, "Yes, Mom."
Cecilia looked at Natalie with admiration, "Natalie, there are not many girls who know how to cook nowadays. It seems that it was the right decision for Tobias to choose you."
Hearing Cecilia's praise, Natalie's mood lifted slightly.
She set the last dish down on the table.
"When will Tobias be back?" Cecilia asked.
Natalie chuckled wryly, "I don't know."
The smile on Cecilia's lips disappeared in an instant.
Natalie's heart skipped a beat in fright.
She thought that Cecilia would criticize her for not even knowing when her own husband was getting off work.
However, unexpectedly, Cecilia said, "That jerk, Tobias should let you know what time he'll be returning home. Let me give him a good lecture when he gets back."
Natalie took a deep breath as she felt the blood flowing back to her body.
How could there be such a good mother-in-law in this world? Whoever became her daughter- in- law would be extremely lucky.
Unfortunately, she certainly wouldn't have such luck.
Suddenly, she remembered what Tobias had said that day.
However, she, Natalie, also had the right to dream.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"If Tobias forgave me, perhaps I can be that fortunate girl."
Just when Natalie was deep in thought, Cecilia pulled her onto the sofa.
"Natalie, let’s sit down."
Natalie came to her senses, "Mom, why did you come over today?"
Cecilia's eyes showed a hint of a smile. "The place you brought me to the last time was so delicious. I was craving it, thus I dropped by."
A look of surprise appeared on Natalie's face.
She thought, "How nice it must be to be rich, to have whatever you want whenever you like."
She suddenly realized that she really liked her mother-in-law. Cecilia was just like her, a food lover!
"Mom, I can bring you there for supper later."
Cecilia smiled gently, "Okay, we'll go after dinner."
The two of them chatted for a while. By seven o'clock, Tobias was still nowhere to be seen.
"Natalie, is Tobias usually not around even until this hour?" Cecilia asked.
Natalie's breathing halted.
"It's hard to say," she said awkwardly.
Cecilia immediately took out her phone and made a
call.
