Chapter 58
However, Natalie immediately rejected the idea.
Who was Tobias? An outstanding man like him would never like her, who was as foolish as a pig.
Natalie thought to herself, "Pfft! How can I belittle myself? Why am I comparing myself to a pig?"
"I don't like you," Tobias replied abruptly.
Natalie's heart calmed down instantly after hearing his answer.
In fact, she would be frightened to death if the president of YS Group fell for her.
"However, I'll be responsible if you're really pregnant. I will be your partner for the rest of my life and I won't touch any other women," he concluded.
Natalie let out a wry laugh and answered, "I don't think I'm pregnant. I wouldn't be that unlucky, right?"
"Are you saying that it's unlucky for you to have my child?" Tobias raised his eyebrow.
"No, no..." Natalie replied hurriedly. She scratched her head and added, "That's not what I meant. You know what I mean."
"By the way, why did you come back in the afternoon? Don't you need to work?" Natalie changed the topic.
"I came back to see you," Tobias replied.
"See me? Why do you need to see me?" "I have to be extra cautious if you're pregnant," Tobias answered earnestly.
Natalie was at a loss for words. He spoke as if she was really pregnant but it was not even confirmed yet.
"You don't have to do this. You'll make me nervous too," Natalie replied, "You should behave like you usually do. Otherwise, I will feel pressured."
Tobias felt that Natalie's remarks were somewhat reasonable, hence he nodded.
"I'll go back to the company in the afternoon. Have a good rest," Tobias answered.
Natalie nodded.
"You are not allowed to eat those junk food."
Natalie nodded.
"Don't simply move around or get angry."
Natalie stuck out her tongue and answered, "You're so strict. You're not as interesting as your friend."
"My friend?"
"Yeah, I'm talking about Remington," Natalie answered without thinking.
She realized that something was wrong when she finished. She promised Remington that she would not tell Tobias about him.
"Remington?" Tobias frowned and explained, "I don't have a friend named Remington."
Natalie laughed dryly and replied, "Forget it, I'm just making things up."
Tobias cast a suspicious glance at Natalie. Natalie should not know any of his friends. After all, there was no way someone like Natalie could befriend anyone within his social circle.
"Don't think too much." Tobias patted her head.
"You're so naggy that you're nearly becoming my father," Natalie complained.
"You definitely need someone to nag at you," Tobias retorted, "So that you won't go to the bar with that wig and terrible attire."
Gosh, he still would not let that slide.
Natalie could finally enjoy some peace after Tobias left.
She laid down on the sofa and watched TV casually. Aunt Lee baked some oysters for her and mentioned that it was an order from Tobias.
Oysters? Natalie's heart was throbbing when she heard that. It was something luxurious for someone poor like Natalie.
Natalie tried a piece. The taste of oyster was a little pungent and she was not really a fan.
However, she finished it when she thought of Tobias' good intentions.
Tobias was probably treating her so well because he thought she was pregnant.
The previous day, she was just speculating but she did not expect Tobias to take it so seriously. She would never point it out if she knew this would happen.
However, she felt that Tobias was a decent man after what happened. At least, he was a responsible and reliable man.
The TV series she watched often depicted pregnant women being abandoned by horrible men or the men asking the women not to carry on with the pregnancy.
She caressed her abdomen. She did not want to be pregnant. After all, she and Tobias were just pretending to be married. They did not have any feelings for each other. In fact, it would be meaningless if they forced themselves to be together for the rest of their lives for the sake of a child.
Moreover, Natalie knew her place. Marriage was all about finding a perfect match with a person of a similar background. The story of Prince Charming and Cinderella only existed in fairy tales.
Who was Natalie? She was a girl born into a poor family. She would not dare to dream about being with the president of YS Group.
After she finished the baked oysters, Natalie was done watching the TV series. It was currently running an entertainment news piece that revealed the income of a famous celebrity in the entertainment industry. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Natalie was shocked. It turned out that being an actor was a lucrative job.
It would be great if she could become an actress after graduation. She would be able to earn a lot of money for herself continuously.
Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. It was a call from Yvonne.
"Natalie," Yvonne asked, "Do you know that the new It was only then when Natalie recalled that her break was going to be over soon.
"Have you worn the matching outfit we bought together last time?"
The matching outfit that Yvonne mentioned was the pink lace dress they bought at Ralph Lauren when they went shopping together previously.
"Nope." Natalie did not like the style of that dress.
"It seems that we share the same thought." Yvonne sounded excited as she continued, "You're waiting for that day too, aren't you?"
"What day are you talking about?" Natalie's face clouded with confusion. She did not understand what Yvonne meant.
"I'm talking about the first day of school," Yvonne replied, "On that day, we will dress up in matching outfits and amaze everyone."
Natalie was embarrassed at the thought of it.
Could that kind of outfit amaze the other students? Natalie did not think so.
However, she did not want to disappoint Yvonne, hence she replied vaguely, "Erm, yeah."
"Then, it's settled. Remember to wear our matching outfit on the first day of school," Yvonne reminded joyfully.
"Yeah, yeah." Natalie nodded.
"By the way, my mom baked some super delicious lasagna. I'll bring some over to your house tonight." "Don't! I'm not staying in that house anymore."
"You're not?" Yvonne's tone was confused. "What do you mean?"
"I've moved out."
"Are you in the dormitory?"
"No."
"Where are you then?"
"I'm staying in Tobias' apartment."
There was a silence on the other end of the phone and after a moment, a burst of laughter filled the silence.
"Natalie, there are no limits to your lust." Yvonne was laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up straight.
Natalie held her mobile phone helplessly.
"Are you going to say that you're pregnant with Tobias' child next?"
"How did you know?" Natalie was surprised as she replied, "But we are not sure yet."
"D*mn it... I'm going to die of laughter," Yvonne exclaimed, "I'm hanging up the phone. Otherwise, I'll probably laugh until I drop dead."
"Then just hang up." Natalie's eardrum could no longer stand Yvonne's exaggerated laughter.
"I won't bring you any lasagna tonight," Yvonne snorted before hanging up, "That's because you've been fantasizing about my idol."
Natalie was at a loss for words after hanging up the call. Why would Yvonne not believe her? Yvonne kept mentioning that she was fantasizing over it.
Did Natalie seem like a woman who was eager to make out with men?
Yet on second thought, nobody would believe that Natalie was really married to Tobias.
Natalie was curious about how Yvonne would react if she knew that Natalie was telling the truth all along.
Time passed by quickly and it was finally the first day of the new term.
Yes, that day finally arrived.
Natalie suspected that she would turn into a pig if she continued to stay holed up in the apartment.
