Chapter 89
Cecilia looked at Natalie and implored, "Natalie, it's your choice."
Natalie saw that Tobias and Cecilia were gazing expectantly at her, and she rubbed her belly as she suggested, "Why don't we have lunch? It's almost noon."
"You're not full yet?" A hint of astonishment flashed in Tobias' eyes.
Earlier on, he had just witnessed Natalie gobbling up so many sticks of skewers.
Natalie was a little flustered. "We just had a snack just now. It's not a proper meal."
Cecilia also smiled and said, "I'm not full yet either. Let's have lunch together."
Tobias' eyebrows twitched. "Then let's go."
They drove all the way and soon stopped in front of a Michelin star restaurant.
This was the restaurant that Tobias had chosen. Natalie felt uneasy as the three of them made their way in.
This restaurant looked so high-end. It was not a place befitting Natalie.
When the dishes were served, Natalie stared at a dish with a strange look.
"Why is there a golden thing on it? It looks like gold. Can humans eat gold?" Cecilia smiled and answered, "Natalie, this is gold foil. Some food-grade gold foils are edible."
Natalie was mind-blown by what she was told. She didn't expect that even gold could be used in cuisine nowadays.
"By the way, why did you come back at noon today?" Natalie suddenly questioned while eating.
Tobias replied blandly, "That's because your presence makes the dishes taste even nicer."
Natalie did not understand what he meant, and a smile appeared on Cecilia's lips.
She felt that she made the right decision to encourage Natalie and Tobias to be together.
Although this girl was born into an underprivileged family, the Whitlock family was rich enough to account for that. There was no need for them to look for a well-off daughter-in-law to increase their wealth and influence.
Moreover, Natalie was a lively and straightforward person. She was kind and not the conniving type. She was very compatible with her cold and thoughtful son.
After the three of them finished eating, Tobias was ready to return to the office. Cecilia stated that she wanted to go shopping with Natalie.
Cecilia took Natalie to a high-end department store in the city and bought some clothes for Natalie. Of course, all the clothes were expensive, and the prices were shockingly high. Later, they went to buy some mint cakes.
When they finally returned home in the evening, Tobias was already home.
Tobias looked like he was getting ready to go out again.
"Where are you going now since you just came back not long ago?" Cecilia asked subconsciously.
"I need to attend a dinner." Tobias, the president of the YS Group, always had dinner appointments.
Cecilia's eyes jerked slightly when she heard that. Immediately, she pushed Natalie in Tobias' way. "If you are going to a dinner party, you should bring Natalie along. Don't they always bring their spouse along when people attend this kind of dinner?"
Tobias' black eyes darkened.
In fact, it was actually feasible to bring Natalie along to these occasions.
"That settles it." Cecilia led Natalie to her room as she announced, "Natalie, let me doll you up."
Natalie's attire at the moment wasn't suited for the occasion Tobias was going to attend.
On the other hand, Natalie was in great shock. She was going to accompany Tobias to a dinner party. How, how could this be possible?
"Mom, I'd rather not attend," Natalie pleaded.
Why did she feel that this was a horrible idea?
Natalie had never participated in any kind of dinner, let alone accompany the president of the YS Group to one.
Cecilia looked Natalie in the eyes seriously and advised, "Natalie, you know that there must be many women eyeing men like Tobias. With you alongside him, you can show those women that Tobias is already a taken man. Do you understand? You should watch over your man carefully."
Natalie sighed inwardly.
Oh my god, she was just Tobias' nominal wife. Even if Tobias decided to meet with other women out there, it was not something Natalie had control over.
However, Cecilia had already stated her opinions clearly, so she had no choice but to let Cecilia dress her up.
Natalie put on the clothes that Cecilia had bought for her today. It was a delicately designed light green dress that reached her heels.
Natalie was incredibly stunning in this dress. She was just like an adorable forest elf.
Cecilia looked at Natalie with satisfaction and then proceeded to take care of Natalie's makeup and hairstyle.
Soon, a brand new Natalie came into view.
In front of the big mirror, Natalie stared blankly at her reflection. She couldn't believe that she was staring at herself.
Cecilia's skills were remarkable. She was almost on par with professional stylists. She had transformed Natalie into a completely different person.
Natalie was wearing light makeup, which was delicate but natural. Her soft pastel green dress and strands of hair covering her forehead made her look like an elf in the forest.
"Come here. It's time to show Tobias how beautiful his wife is," Cecilia said with a smile.
Well, she had suddenly become much prettier, which made her inexplicably shy to face Tobias at the moment.
At the same time, Cecilia was pushing Natalie out of her room. In the living room, Tobias was sitting on the sofa. When he heard some voice, he looked up just in time to meet Natalie's eyes.
The moment when they locked their gazes, Tobias' eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Tobias, doesn't your wife just look lovely?" Cecilia said with a smile.
Tobias nodded. "Not only today. She's always beautiful."
Natalie's face turned red immediately.
"Let's go," Tobias said.
Natalie followed him from behind, but Cecilia stopped them abruptly.
Tobias and Natalie froze in their tracks.
Cecilia came forward and stuffed Natalie's hand into Tobias' palm. "How can a couple go out with one following the other? You have to walk hand in hand."
Natalie's head went blank all of a sudden.
The heat of his palm spread through the back of Natalie's hand to her whole body. This warm sensation was attacking her heart at the moment.
Tobias's breathing also came to a halt briefly.
However, he quickly restrained his emotions while holding Natalie's hand as they marched out of the apartment. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
It was not until they arrived at the elevator that Natalie suddenly returned to her senses as she withdrew her hand from Tobias' palm.
Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly.
In fact, the feeling of holding her soft and seemingly boneless tiny hand in his palm was pleasant, which even aroused his sense of possession.
"Well, the weather seems lovely today." Natalie was obviously embarrassed and had nothing to say.
Tobias didn't say anything.
"Oh, this elevator looks quite high-end too."
Tobias glanced at Natalie indifferently.
"Tobias, I realized that you look quite dashing today."
"Natalie, if you feel it's too embarrassing, you can remain silent," Tobias said in a low voice.
Natalie suddenly shut up.
She was so flustered that she didn't know what to say.
The first reason for her embarrassment was that she was standing in front of Tobias up with such an eye- catching appearance. Secondly, Tobias was holding her hand just a moment ago.
After getting out of the elevator, Tobias came around with a black Bentley, and Natalie also got into the car.
At this moment, Natalie suddenly discovered a problem.
