Chapter 68
"How is she going to have the baby if the couple don't have feelings for each other?" Natalie asked.
"Why would she be pregnant if they have no feelings for each other?" Yvonne glared at Natalie.
Natalie was embarrassed.
"Well, Yvonne," Natalie pondered for a moment before continuing, "It was an accident that she's pregnant but the guy doesn't like her, so she's at a loss."
Yvonne reached out and waved to Natalie. "No, no, this guy must have feelings for her. Otherwise, she won't be pregnant."
"I told you it's an accident." Natalie insisted but a thought suddenly occurred to her. Did Tobias really like her?
Otherwise, why would he choose her to be his fake wife? He was treating her nicely too.
"No, no, no, this can't be it," Natalie suppressed her thoughts.
Why would Tobias fall for her? She was being full of herself.
"Will the guy marry her?" Yvonne asked.
Natalie nodded. In fact, they were already married.
"Then it's settled. What's the big deal if they're married?"
"What if the guy has no feelings for her?" Natalie implored.
"How do you know that he has no feelings for her?" Yvonne retorted.
"Well, the guy's really outstanding and rich but the girl's from a poor family. She's pretty but she's not that amazing," Natalie answered as she fumbled with her fingers.
"Cinderella's story?"
Natalie nodded and replied, "That's pretty accurate."
Yvonne chuckled, "You're thinking too much. This wouldn't ever happen. Since ancient times, everyone would marry someone with a similar background. Prince Charming falling for Cinderella is just something from a fairytale."
Natalie's heart sank.
In truth, she already knew the outcome, hence she never placed her hopes on Tobias. However, things were different because she was pregnant.
"But there are also exceptions!" Yvonne suddenly added after mulling over something.
Natalie's eyes lit up.
"My mother's colleague's son graduated from junior high school and became a waste collector. Later on, he made a lot of money by setting up a landfill. I think he earned at least tens of millions of dollars. He ended up marrying a clerk who has a monthly salary of three thousand dollars. They are a happy couple although they don't exactly come from similar backgrounds."
Natalie was at a loss for words. She took a deep breath and explained, "This guy is not a rich waste collector or a son from a wealthy family. He's from a noble lineage and he's a president of a large cooperation. He graduated from a top global university too."
"Would such a man fall for an ordinary girl?" Yvonne could not believe her ears.
Natalie was a little embarrassed. "He did not fall for the girl. It's an accident that she was pregnant."
After a moment of silence, Yvonne patted her thigh and exclaimed, "Ah, I understand now. This guy must be 4'5 and his huge face must be covered in blemishes. He's so ugly that he would scare anyone to death."
Natalie was rendered speechless again.
She felt that it was impossible to communicate with Yvonne.
"Let's go back now and not dwell on this any further," Natalie said exasperatedly.
"Oh, okay," Yvonne followed Natalie and continued, "But I still don't understand what you're trying to say by dragging me out here."
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you a fairytale," Natalie whispered.
Fairytales were just fairytales.
They were almost out of the woods when Yvonne suddenly grabbed Natalie.
Natalie stopped and turned to Yvonne in confusion.
Yvonne pointed to a large tree behind them and whispered, "Natalie, look." Natalie's eyes followed Yvonne's finger and spotted a couple hugging each other.
The man was tall and slender while the woman was attractive and curvy.
"It's Kimberly," Yvonne concluded. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Yvonne's words made Natalie realize that the woman resembled Kimberly.
"Isn't that girl very proud? She said that no guy in our school is worthy of her. Why is she hiding here and kissing a guy?" Yvonne scoffed.
Judging from the way they kissed, Kimberly seemed to be enjoying every moment of it but the man acted perfunctorily.
Yvonne took out her mobile phone to capture the scene.
However, the man was very sharp. As soon as Yvonne turned on the camera, the man noticed her and threw a sidelong glance at her.
Yvonne pulled Natalie away quickly and broke into a run. Meanwhile, Natalie looked over her shoulders out of reflex.
She was taken aback by what she saw.
It was him.
That was Remington. The man she met at a buffet restaurant previously.
The man who claimed that he put in a lot of effort to get to know her.
The man who claimed to be Tobias' friend.
The man who was extremely handsome. Natalie was still lost in her thoughts when Yvonne dragged her back to the classroom. Why was Remington on their campus? He was definitely not a student at the university.
Everyone would have spread rumors if there was such a handsome man studying in the university. It was impossible for her not to know about him.
"Could he be Kimberly's boyfriend?" Natalie thought.
However, this had nothing to do with her. After all, she just met Remington once.
"Oh, Natalie, it's a pity that we ran away before we could see what the guy looked like." Yvonne thought that it was such a waste.
She really wanted to know what kind of man a proud woman like Kimberly would fall for.
Natalie realized that she lost her mobile phone when she was about to leave school. She searched every corner but she still could not find it.
"Natalie, don't be nervous. Have you misplaced it somewhere?" Yvonne and Sebastian were helping her to find it too.
Natalie shook her head and replied, "No way, I've been keeping it in the drawer."
"Did someone steal it when we went to the woods?" Yvonne suddenly came up with an idea.
Natalie shook her head and replied, "Who would steal my stupid phone? No one would want it even if I gave it to them."
After giving her words some thought, Yvonne could not help but agree. Natalie's mobile phone only cost less than a hundred dollars. Who would want a cheap phone like that?
After looking around for a long time, Natalie still could not find it and she had to give up.
"Forget it, let's stop for now. Let's look for it again tomorrow." Natalie felt helpless.
They walked out of the campus and Sebastian suddenly approached Natalie. He said, "Natalie, this is for you."
Natalie took a glance and realized that it was a box of chocolate.
"Why are you giving me this?" Natalie felt odd.
She felt that Sebastian was acting a little strange for the past few days. He would always ask her random questions and often gave her snacks. He was even giving her a box of chocolate.
Sebastian seemed a little embarrassed. Yvonne replied in his place, "He's just concerned about you."
Natalie smiled in response. She did not ponder too much and accepted the chocolate.
After all, Sebastian was her best friend for the past three years.
After returning to Themyscira Apartment, Aunt Lee prepared a table of delicious food as usual.
Natalie had something on her mind, thus she ate absentmindedly. Aunt Lee was cleaning up in the kitchen when Natalie walked over.
"Aunt Lee, let me help you." Usually, Natalie would help Aunt Lee with some housework when she had nothing to do.
Aunt Lee had been against Natalie's suggestion but she would usually give in, seeing how persistent Natalie was.
However, she was determined to not let Natalie help her this time. "Miss Godfrey, you're pregnant now. You can't do these chores anymore."
Natalie replied, "You're being too dramatic. How hard is washing the dishes? You absolutely have no idea what I have been doing previously."
"No means no." Aunt Lee was very determined. She pushed Natalie gently and urged, "You can't do any of these now."
Natalie was not aware of the slippery kitchen floor. Suddenly, she crashed to the floor with a gentle push from Aunt Lee.
