Natalie smiled.
In such a relaxed atmosphere, it was easy for people to unwind. She felt like attending early education classes wasn't just for the children's sake! More than that, it was about easing the postpartum mood for moms.
"Is it really like that?"
"Yes! When you have one child, it feels so easy. Then you have another one, thinking it'll be fun, but it turns out the child ends up playing you."
"Hahaha! Exactly! Don't underestimate babies! They'll really make you understand what it means to voluntarily give up yourself!"
Voluntarily give up oneself?
Was having a second child really that bad?
At this moment, Natalie also noticed that many second-time mothers weren't wearing makeup.
Having one child was already enough to keep one busy. After having a second child, it got even busier, and going out became a hurried and chaotic affair.
"After listening to you all, I'm definitely not having a second child," Natalie said with a laugh.
The group of people continued chatting comfortably.
On the surface, they were all laughing and joking, but no one knew what they were really going through in their hearts.
It was the same for Natalie. She... was unwilling to have a second child, but it wasn't like she would get a chance anyway, right?
Natalie had to admit that she never thought about this issue before. Now that she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel a bit...!
Luna really liked her classes. On their way home, Luna said softly, "Mommy, remember to bring me early tomorrow. We were ten minutes late today."
Natalie was silent.
Were children nowadays so conscious of time?
She looked at Luna and said, "Alright!"
In her tone, there was nothing but relief and indulgence.
In the beginning, Natalie was worried that Luna wouldn't adapt, but now it seemed she could completely relax.
Children would only actively participate in something when they really liked it. They would refuse to go if they disliked it!
So, it seemed that Natalie didn't need to worry about that.
At least for now, it seemed there wouldn't be any problems when Luna started kindergarten in the future.

Back at Lotus Villa, Heather had already prepared lunch. Although they had some snacks at the education center in the morning, they were still hungry.
"How was it?" Heather asked Natalie.
Natalie felt it had gone pretty well.
"I have to go to the studio in the afternoon, so you can play with her then."
"Okay."
Heather looked at Natalie, who now seemed completely back to normal, and felt very relieved.
Being able to let go of the past was Natalie's greatest redemption and forgiveness to herself. So, seeing her in better shape now was quite reassuring.
"Nat."
"Yeah?"
"Do you like that person?"
"Who?"
After Natalie had asked that, she realized who Heather was referring to. The only person Heather could be talking about was Irwin.
And when Irwin was mentioned, Natalie's expression couldn't help but darken.
Natalie took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter if I like him or not. Everything between us is over!"
Natalie's words were firm.
Heather fell silent. When she heard Natalie's answer, she was stunned!
Ultimately, she guessed right. In Natalie's mind, she didn't want to be too involved with either Irwin or Cedric.
This was the best evidence of that now.
Natalie looked at Heather. "What's wrong?"
The person was asking her to deliver the money to Orchid Bay?
In this day and age, wasn't a bank transfer more convenient? Obviously, Natalie couldn't understand the other party's request.
She replied, [Let's stick with bank transfer.]
However, after sending the message, there was no response whatsoever. No matter how many messages Natalie sent afterward, the other party didn't give her a single reply.
"This person is so...! Ugh!" Natalie muttered as she slammed her phone heavily on the table.
She couldn't help but wonder if people nowadays were all so strange. Especially the ones she encountered now, at least in her opinion, were absolutely eccentric!
Send money over in person? Who had the time for that?
Or was this person still using cash in this day and age? Did this person completely refuse to accept new payment methods?
It was possible, she supposed. Otherwise, why wouldn't they even give her an account number?
-
She didn't bother anymore.
Throughout the afternoon, Natalie was busy designing blueprints. Recently, Regal Horizons International picked up a project in Simeria. Because of that, she naturally needed to devote more time and energy to it.
After all, Regal Horizons International had an international reputation, so they were more cautious.
As she was about to finish work, her phone vibrated. Natalie picked it up and saw that it was a call from Caleb.
Caleb?
She answered, "Hello, Caleb."
Her tone softened involuntarily. Obviously, it was because of the trouble she caused him during the previous mishap!
Natalie hadn't expected Caleb to call her after returning to Verde City.
"I'm in Simeria, but I can't reach the person who was supposed to pick me up. Can you come and get me?"
Natalie fell silent.
Caleb couldn't reach the person who was supposed to pick him up?
