Chapter 66
She picked up a luxurious black dress with trembling hands. She recognized the brand. It was Chanel.
She checked the other garments and realized that they were mostly from Chanel.
Natalie went to the handbag compartment. They were all luxurious brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes, and many more.
Natalie's heart was pounding so hard.
These were something beyond her dreams!
Natalie went to the shoe compartment. There were all kinds of shoes fit for every occasion and the colors were so varied that they made her dizzy.
She did not know a lot about branded shoes. She saw several brands like Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, and Roger Vivier, which looked like foreign languages to her.
Natalie felt like she was going to black out.
Previously, she was very envious when she saw the cloakrooms of famous celebrities or royal princesses on TV.
However, even though she envied those people, she never thought about owning one.
Natalie felt that those things were as far away as the distant stars. She could just squint at them but never dared to imagine it. Following that, when she first came to Themyscira Apartment, she spotted the empty cloakroom. Although it was prepared for her, she knew that she did not have enough money to fill the cloakroom with so many clothes.
Therefore, she was satisfied just by looking at that cloakroom every day.
However, this cloakroom was filled up in one day and everything belonged to her!
Natalie was extremely shocked.
No woman could resist beautiful clothes, bags and shoes.
This cloakroom was like a dream. Every girl had a princess dream.
Yet, her dream came true.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed Yvonne's number.
When the call was connected, Natalie's hands were shaking. She stammered, "Yvonne, I have a... A lot of clothes and bags in a cloakroom." Yvonne was silent on the other end.
Natalie trembled and continued, "Chanel, Gucci...Hermes... Yvonne, I must be dreaming right now."
Yvonne remained silent.
Natalie took a deep breath and added, "But these things are right in front of my eyes. It's all real!"
"Did Tobias give them to you?" In contrast to Natalie's quivering tone, Yvonne's voice was extremely calm. Natalie replied without thinking, "Yes." Yvonne sighed on the other end.
"Natalie, should I bring you to the hospital?" Yvonne asked cautiously.
Natalie snapped back to reality.
Yvonne always thought that she had fantasies about Tobias and Yvonne probably thought the same thing at the moment.
Natalie hung up the phone dejectedly.
Yvonne frowned after the call was ended. Yvonne's mother came over and asked, "Yvonne, what's wrong?"
"Mom, do you know any decent psychiatric hospital?" Yvonne asked.
Yvonne's mother was shocked. "Who's mentally unwell?"
Yvonne sighed, "It's Natalie."
"Natalie?" Yvonne's mother's eyes suddenly widened. "Wasn't that girl very lively all along?"
Yvonne sighed again, "She has been having delusions about Tobias."
"What?" Yvonne's mother was a middle-aged woman and she did not know who Tobias was.
"She's hallucinating that someone else is her husband. She said that guy gave her a lot of gifts." Yvonne phrased it in a simpler way.
Yvonne's mother shook her head and replied, "No way, that girl is very beautiful. There should be a lot of people going after her. She doesn't need to fantasize about someone else being her husband." Yvonne tried to break it down easier for her mother to understand. "Natalie is fantasizing about someone like the president of the United States. She thinks that he's her husband."
Tobias was simply an extraordinary figure to Yvonne. He was her prince charming and there was no one more superior than him.
The president of the United States was an extraordinary person to Yvonne's mother.
Therefore, Yvonne used the president of the U.S. to explain herself, so that her mother would understand.
Sure enough, Yvonne's mother understood and she replied, "Oh, that girl's a little abnormal. Yvonne, you should pay more attention to her when you have time." Yvonne nodded seriously.
Yvonne's mother thought, "Natalie is such a beautiful and clever little girl. Why would she fantasize about the president of the United States as her husband?"
Besides, the president of the United States was quite old. That girl had peculiar tastes.
After hanging up the phone, Natalie snapped back from the joy and excitement that filled her heart previously.
Her phone call with Yvonne earlier disappointed her.
No one would believe that she had anything to do with Tobias. After all, how could she compare to Tobias? Natalie felt that she should acknowledge the reality and take a good look at herself too. For instance, although she owned the cloakroom and everything in it, that would not make her a princess.
Natalie came out of the cloakroom and closed the door carefully.
That place was her dream. Yes, it was just a dream.
However, Natalie was still very grateful that Tobias gave her so many things. Therefore, Natalie decided to call Tobias on her mobile phone after dinner.
Her heart began to race as soon as the call was connected.
"Tobias, thank you." Natalie felt a little embarrassed.
She found her behavior strange as well. Why should she be embarrassed? She just wanted to thank him.
"There's no need for that." Tobias's voice was as flat as ever.
He kept quiet after finishing and Natalie could not come up with any topic. The two of them were silent for a moment.
"Do you want me to dress better so I won't embarrass you? After all, we are pretending to be married." In the end, Natalie broke the silence.
Immediately, she regretted saying that. "Natalie, are you crazy? What are you talking about?" She scolded herself in her head.
"No," Tobias replied lightly, "I just hope that you can have more freedom."
Natalie thought that Tobias was speaking in a roundabout manner. What freedom did she need in clothes?
"What's the point of having a lot of clothes to choose from?" Natalie muttered.
"Didn't you say that the clothes you wore yesterday made you a laughing stock?" Tobias asked.
Natalie replied, "Yeah."
Did Tobias purchase so many clothes, bags and shoes to fill the cloakroom to comfort her after she was laughed at?
This train of thought was quite in line with the personality of a domineering president.
"I hope that you'll have the freedom to wear a lot of beautiful clothes when they laugh at you again next time. You'll silence and impress them."
Natalie was quite excited after hearing Tobias' words. His suggestion made her feel a lot better.
Natalie mentioned that the more people laughed at her, the more she would wear those ugly attires. However, she was overwhelmed by anger back then.
"Then I'll wear one tomorrow to shut them up." Natalie seemed to be looking forward to it.
"Yeah." Tobias' tone was still placid.
The two of them were quiet again. Tobias' tone was always indifferent and even a little cold, thus Natalie suddenly lost all her intention to continue the conversation. "I'm hanging up," Natalie said.
"Okay." Natalie hung up the phone disappointedly.
Natalie sat on the sofa and pondered that what happened the previous night was really nothing more than a fleeting fantasy.
