Chapter 71
Natalie grabbed Aunt Lee's hand and explained, "Aunt Lee, there's a misunderstanding. I just had my period, that's all."
As she spoke, she felt a little embarrassed and blushed.
Aunt Lee could not process Natalie's explanation.
Natalie was in the bathroom when Aunt Lee finally snapped back to her senses.
It turned out that Miss Godfrey was just on her period. Aunt Lee patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, Aunt Lee would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
However, Aunt Lee did not understand why Natalie would mistake her period for miscarriage.
Aunt Lee thought, "I'm old and senile. I don't even understand what's going on."
Natalie came out of the bathroom and changed into a new set of pajamas. She was refreshed and clean.
Aunt Lee made some hot chocolate when Natalie was in the shower.
When Natalie came out of the bathroom, Aunt Lee presented a cup of hot chocolate to her and said, "Here, some hot chocolate would help your period." Previously, Natalie claimed that she tripped herself when Aunt Lee mistook Natalie's period for miscarriage. That girl had a heart of gold!
Aunt Lee liked Natalie more than ever after that.
Natalie did not want to turn down Aunt Lee's kindness, hence she drank the hot chocolate.
"Weren't you on a business trip? Why did you come back today?" Natalie took the initiative to speak to Tobias.
After all, she felt embarrassed after putting him through that fiasco earlier.
"I have some business to attend to," Tobias replied, "So I came back in advance."
Aunt Lee could not keep secrets. When Natalie told Aunt Lee that she was really pregnant in the morning, Aunt Lee wasted no time to notify Tobias. Tobias tried calling Natalie's mobile phone but her phone was switched off.
He was worried, therefore he returned as soon as possible.
Tobias pondered a lot on the way home.
Natalie was pregnant, so what would lie ahead of them?
Naturally, there was no need to talk to Natalie about that anymore.
"I called you but why couldn't I get through?" Tobias asked.
"My phone disappeared." After finishing the hot chocolate, Aunt Lee fetched some dark chocolate for Natalie to eat. "Was it stolen?" Tobias asked.
"Are you kidding? Who would steal my stupid phone?" Natalie felt better after drinking the hot chocolate and eating some dark chocolate.
Her good mood intensified after she recalled that she was not pregnant in the first place, let alone having a miscarriage!
She was delighted!
"I'll buy one for you," Tobias offered.
"No, no." Natalie waved her hand and added, "That's too expensive."
"You don't have to be frugal with my money."
The corner of Natalie's lips twitched.
She was not a kind girl. The novels would always portray the hero as a wealthy president but the pure and good-natured heroine would always try to save money for him. There was an old saying.
It was easy for anyone to fit in with a luxurious lifestyle. However, it would be difficult to return to a frugal lifestyle once accustomed to an expensive one.
Natalie did not know how long she could pretend to be Tobias' wife. If she spent without thinking, she was afraid that she would find it difficult to return to a frugal lifestyle when she was no longer with Tobias. Natalie understood that she would need to face the music. She knew her place too.
"I'm not trying to help you save money. I'll go and look for it again. Maybe I'll find it tomorrow."
Tobias kept quiet in response.
"By the way, why didn't you wear the clothes I gave you today?" Tobias suddenly recalled that.
Natalie was wearing a poor-quality white dress earlier. It was obvious that she bought it from a street vendor.
"My mind was filled with pregnancy earlier, so I didn't have the mood to dress up nicely to show off." Natalie smiled dryly.
Naturally, there was another reason. Although she was looking forward to dressing up, after giving it some thought, she felt that it was pretentious for her to do that.
Natalie was a girl from a poor family. There was no need for her to act like she was someone important.
However, no woman could refuse beautiful clothes. After being reminded by Tobias, Natalie was tempted again.
She thought, "Why don't I just try wearing it once? I'll just wear it for a day. Just one day."
After breakfast the next morning, Natalie was prepared to go to class.
"I'm not pregnant, so you don't need to drive me there." Natalie did not want Tobias to drop her off again.
Tobias paused for a moment and replied, "You're not feeling well because of your period. I'd better drop you off today." "D*mn it." Natalie waved her hand and protested, "Every woman would experience this. I'm not that delicate, so you don't have to send me to campus."
Tobias recalled that he had a lot of work waiting for him in the company. He came back early the previous day because of Natalie, hence there were countless affairs that he would need to attend to. On second thought, he decided not to drop Natalie off.
Natalie walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus.
A flamboyant red Ferrari sped by quickly in front of her.
There was a 'whoosh' and the Ferrari that was a few meters away reversed.
The Ferrari's window rolled down slowly to reveal a delicate and handsome face.
"Hello, gorgeous." There was a dark smile on the man's lips and his eyes curved like the crescent moon. "We meet again."
Natalie was shocked. She stared at the person who greeted her and realized that it was Remington.
"Shall I give you a ride?" Remington chuckled.
Natalie did not hesitate and she got into his car immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Fox," Natalie greeted him.
Remington looked like a fox and a male fox at that.
"In fact, I think I saw you yesterday." Natalie was always straightforward. "You were kissing Kimberly." "Kimberly?" The corners of Remington's eyes curved upward. "So her name's Kimberly? It's not really a nice name. There's a better ring to your name, Natalie."
Natalie was surprised. "You were kissing her but you don't even know her name?"
Remington grinned, "I don't know her. It's rude of me to refuse a girl who threw herself at me, right?"
Natalie was amazed by his remarks.
"Kimberly was very arrogant. Why would she throw herself into your arms?" Natalie did not believe him.
"There are always so many people who would offer themselves to me. There are countless more who are prettier than her," Remington replied frankly.
Natalie was amazed.
"You're really bold with your words," Natalie commented.
"I'm not only bold with my words." Remington suddenly approached her and added, "I'm shameless too. Don't you know that?"
Natalie blushed.
"I don't like these kinds of jokes," Natalie answered with a straight face.
"What jokes?"
"Flirting!"
"I was just flirting and I didn't do anything to you, so why are you so scared? Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Remington leaned away from Natalie as he spoke. Natalie hated flirtatious people but somehow she did not hate Remington for it.
He knew how to read between the lines and he would stop before he angered anyone.
"You really don't know Kimberly?" Natalie still did not believe him.
Remington shook his head and replied, "I don't know her. She wanted to be my girlfriend. If I'm somehow in a good mood to make her my girlfriend someday, then we'll officially get to know each other." Natalie almost fainted after hearing that.
"Kimberly is a beautiful girl from a wealthy family. You're telling me that she begged you to be her boyfriend?" Natalie could not understand.
Most of the male students at Agaphen University were chasing after Kimberly fervently. However, he could not be bothered to even cast a glance their way.
Why would such an arrogant woman plead with a man?
