Chapter 62
"How can I not? It's over if someone else from the campus sees me. I'm definitely going to be famous on campus. Hurry up and drive." Natalie patted her chest.
Tobias started the car and thought that Natalie was really different from other women. She was not attention-seeking or vain.
Other women would wish that they could be seen boarding a luxury car to show off but she was an exception.
"Can you stop picking me up after this?" Natalie blinked with a pleading look.
She recalled that Queenie slandered her for living off a sugar daddy in the morning. Everyone would believe that she had a benefactor if someone spotted her with Tobias. She would not be able to clear her name if that ever happened.
"I've told you that we need to be careful before confirming that you're pregnant." Tobias held onto the steering wheel while focusing his gaze on the road ahead.
"But," Natalie bit her finger and continued, "Someone on campus has been saying that I have a sugar daddy. My reputation will be ruined if I'm seen when you pick me up."
A menacing glow appeared in Tobias' eyes. "Who dares to slander you?" "What are you going to do?" Natalie was shocked.
"What do you think?" Tobias' eyes were cold.
"Are you going to hit her?" Natalie whispered.
Tobias was amused by Natalie's question. "You're so funny."
Natalie shook her head and replied, "No, it's not a big deal anyway. I've already made her apologize to
me.
Tobias' handsome face finally relaxed a little when he heard Natalie. It seemed that she was quite capable as she made the offender apologize to her.
Otherwise, Tobias would never let that person off the hook so easily.
Natalie noticed Tobias' silence and she assumed that he was still thinking about how to help her. She hurriedly asked, "You're not thinking of avenging me, are you? I wouldn't have told you about it if I knew you were going to act like this."
Tobias wanted to tease her when he noticed her nervous looks. Tobias answered, "Yeah, I was thinking about that."
"Are you going to tie her up and chop her to pieces? Or are you going to let a group of men toy with her?" Natalie was very nervous.
The corner of Tobias' lips curled. He asked, "Do you want that to happen?"
"Of course not but I've read in some romance novels that the hero would do stuff like that if some bad guys provoked the heroine."
"It seems that you're labeling me as the hero while calling yourself the heroine like in those novels?" Tobias cast her a side-glance with an evil smile on his lips. He added, "Have you thought about some scenes in bed too?"
Natalie blushed and retorted, "Why are you always so horrible?"
After pausing to mull things over, she concluded solemnly, "Anyway, you are not allowed to avenge me like that."
"Back then, weren't you overjoyed when I taught your sister a lesson in the mall?" Tobias asked.
Natalie stuck out her tongue and replied, "Of course, I wanted to let her have a piece of me but I'll be upset if you do something serious like those novels. It's too exaggerated to slaughter her whole family just because she scolded me. There's no way I'll allow that to happen."
"I didn't expect you to be so kind."
"I've always been kind."
Tobias' brows twitched. "Don't worry. We're not living in those novels. It would not be that elaborate. I won't kill anyone just because someone scolded you."
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "That's great but real life is sometimes a little similar to the novels."
"What do you mean?" Tobias raised his eyes.
"The hero in those novels always has amazing stamina!" Natalie blurted without thinking.
"Natalie." Tobias suddenly approached her and his eyes were like an endless ocean. He continued, "Should I take your words as an attempt to seduce me? Hmm?"
Tobias' hot breath brushed against Natalie's cheek when he spoke. It made her go numb.
Natalie's heart missed a beat and she almost lost herself in Tobias' deep dark eyes.
"Focus on driving." After a while, Natalie pushed Tobias away with difficulty. She promised, "I won't say anything else next time."
Earlier, she was just bringing up the topic unconsciously. Who knew this man would have such thoughts? She would never have mentioned it if she knew that this would happen. Why was she so stupid that she did not think before she speaks?
To be honest, Tobias was hard to resist. Every woman would go dizzy if he stared at them with that sinister smile.
Fortunately, Natalie was immune to it but even so, it took her a lot of effort to push Tobias away.
Tobias stared at Natalie's pink cheeks before regaining himself and focusing on the road.
Fle found it strange too. Fie was a man of few words but he could not help but tease Natalie to see her blush whenever he was with her.
There was an inexplicable impulse in him when he laid eyes on her blushing face.
Fle wanted to pin Natalie under him.
Tobias was good at self-control. After calming himself down, he was able to abandon those nasty thoughts.
He promised Natalie that they would only be pretending to be married. He would not force Natalie even if he needed an outlet. That was his bottom line. Moreover, he could not have such thoughts when Natalie might be pregnant.
The car sped into Themyscira Apartment and Tobias entered the elevator with Natalie after parking the car.
In the elevator, Natalie suddenly uttered, "Actually, I said something wrongly."
"What are you talking about?" Tobias replied flatly.
Natalie raised her head and replied with her sparkly eyes, "You're the hero in those novels but I'm not the heroine."
"Why?" Both of them exited the elevator together when the elevator arrived at their floor.
"There's no 'why'." Natalie unlocked the door with her access card and entered the apartment.
She thought that Tobias' future wife would definitely be a noble young lady, instead of her, who hailed from the slums.
When they returned to the apartment, Aunt Lee had prepared some dishes. Natalie glanced at the dishes and realized that they were all quite bland-looking.
Natalie frowned and requested, "Aunt Lee, why didn't you put any chili or Tabasco sauce? I like spicy food." Aunt Lee replied with a serious face, "How can you eat spicy food when you're pregnant?" Natalie was at a loss for words. It was just speculation but everyone seemed to be treating her as if she was really pregnant.
She held Aunt Lee's hand and said coquettishly, "Aunt Lee, I'm just suspecting that I'm pregnant but I haven't confirmed it yet. I would really like some spicy food please."
Natalie's voice was delicate and her eyes were charming when she was acting like a spoiled child.
A thought occurred to Tobias. What Natalie would look like if she acted like that with him? What would happen if she was acting like that in bed with him?
"Aunt Lee, I want to eat some spicy food." Natalie held Aunt Lee's hand.
However, Aunt Lee was resolute and refused to let Natalie have her way. "Aunt Lee, get her some chili," Tobias suddenly spoke.
