No wonder Matthew had acted so peculiarly just now!
Any man would go nuts if he found such a large assortment of female sex toys in his woman's purse.
However, she couldn't get through to his phone. It seemed to have been turned off.
Natalie's shoulders jumped with fright when she saw Selina calling him.
She thought that Selina was about to tell Matthew to come over. She hastily stopped her.
After all, it was better to keep such shameful matters between themselves. It was unnecessary for him to participate in such things.
"It's not like that," Selina was honestly about to collapse from all the anger she was stoking in her, "Natalie, Matthew also saw this bag. He didn't know that it was you who put these in here so he probably assumed that it was all mine. Because of this, he was so upset that he ran all the way back to the Perry family villa!"
Natalie was speechless when she heard this.
She didn't expect for herself to cause so much
trouble.
"Then I will call him to explain!" She must explain to him that this was all just a huge misunderstanding.
"His phone is turned off," Selina replied, "Forget it, I'll just go to his place to clear things up."
Natalie immediately said, "I'll go with you."
"There's no need for that. I'll go by myself," She glanced at Natalie's belly and said, "Natalie, you're already so far along in your pregnancy. How are you going to tag along with me?"
"No!" Natalie was very determined to make things right again, "I was the one who caused this misunderstanding so I should go as well. Your brother has already gone to bed. There will be no problem with me accompanying you there."
After arguing about it for a long time, Selina finally relented to Natalie's request.
She drove her sports car with Natalie sitting in the passenger seat.
Keeping Natalie's pregnancy in mind, Selina did not drive with much speed.
Along the whole drive, Natalie apologized to her profusely.
However, seeing how far things have already come, apologies no longer held any use to her.
Moreover, Natalie had not done it on purpose.
In the end, she was the one who comforted Natalie, "Natalie, it is all fine now. Let's explain it to Matthew later. He is a reasonable man and will not do anything bad to us for this."
Natalie felt slightly relived when she heard her consoling words.
But, she couldn't help asking, "Selina, are you really serious with dating Matthew now?"
She replied in a solemn manner, "What we have is more genuine than anything."
Upon hearing her reply, Natalie was soon lost in her own thoughts.
Could it actually have been true this time?
Selina abruptly recalled those conspicuous condoms in her bag, "By the way, Natalie, putting in those toys was already enough. Why did you still have to add some condoms?"
Natalie paused at this.
She then answered dryly, "They came as free gifts with the purchase, I just shoved everything in there."
Selina looked back at her, "Natalie, this feels like a blast from the past."
Natalie was faintly perplexed by what she said.
She didn't understand the meaning behind Selina's
words.
"The once-foolish Natalie has suddenly returned to us," Selina elaborated with an exasperated tone.
Natalie stayed silent for a moment.
Then, she bursted into uncontrollable laughter.
Selina was right. Natalie used to be a foolish girl. She had supposedly come a long way since then, but she had still managed to cause such a muddle now.
Seeing that Natalie had cracked up, Selina couldn't help but laugh along as well.
However, her smile didn't last for long.
This was because their car had suddenly come to a halt.
They stopped without any warning.
Natalie's smile had also disappeared from her face as she asked, "What's wrong?"
Selina gave her car a check and found nothing out of the ordinary.
She tried to restart the car but it still wouldn't budge.
"It seems that we're going to have to drive another car instead. I'll call a driver to collect us." Selina was about to take out her mobile phone, and then realized that her hands was empty. She had apparently forgotten to bring her phone!
She vaguely recalled flinging her phone onto the sofa after failing to reach Matthew.
She asked, "Natalie, where is your mobile phone? I didn't bring mine."
Natalie was dumbfounded by this question.
