"Mother." On the other end of the phone came Tobias' faint voice.
"Tobias, do you know what time is it? Why haven't you come home yet?" Unlike when facing Natalie, Cecilia's tone was very stern.
"I'm busy with work," Tobias was still indifferent.
Cecilia eased her voice, "Tobias, you have to come back even if you are busy with work. You and Natalie just got married. You can't just put her aside. Come back right now. I'll wait for you at home."
After that, Cecilia hung up the phone directly.
"Natalie, please don't mind it. Tobias is a busy man. As you know, he is the president of YS Group. Sometimes he might pay less attention to you so please don't take it to heart." Cecilia said to Natalie softly.
Cecilia was indeed very beautiful, and when she spoke to others gently, it instantly made people's hearts melt.
At that moment, Natalie also felt that warmness went right into her heart.
"It's okay. I'm fine," She said quickly.
After what Cecilia said, even if Natalie wasn't fine, she would be by now.
What's more, it was her fault. If she didn't doubt Tobias the other day, he wouldn't be neglecting her right now.
That man had treated her like a queen. Natalie felt that he was treating her even better than her own father. If only she hadn't messed things up.
Cecilia talked with Natalie for a while.
"By the way, is there any good news?" Cecilia looked at Natalie's belly.
Natalie's stomach was still flat.
Her cheeks flushed red instantly.
Nothing had happened between her and Tobias, how could she be pregnant?
Of course, she must not tell Cecilia about this.
"Nothing yet, Mom," Natalie smiled awkwardly.
Cecilia was deep in thoughts, "Next time I'll bring you to a fertility doctor. When you and Tobias sleep together, you'll get pregnant for sure."
Natalie was speechless.
Her face flushed even redder.
At this moment, there was some rustling sound at the door.
Natalie and Cecilia subconsciously glanced at the door. Tobias' tall and handsome figure soon appeared.
Natalie immediately looked away with her head hung low.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Her heart was beating rapidly.
Cecilia stood up, "Come, Natalie. Let's have dinner since Tobias is home now."
Natalie braced herself to stand up and went to the dining table.
Tobias sat opposite Cecilia.
Cecilia's eyes rolled. She pulled Natalie right next to Tobias and sat her down. "Natalie, as a couple, you guys should sit together. Why are you sitting across from each other?"
With Cecilia's insistence, Natalie had no choice but to sit down next to Tobias.
Next to him, Natalie smelled the faint musk of his scent.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Her heart beat faster.
God knew why she was so nervous.
The atmosphere during the meal was extremely tense. Tobias was silent all the way. Cecilia occasionally talked to Natalie, and she responded to Cecilia, but most of the time, she barely knew what she was saying. Her mind was in a mess.
After they finished the meal, Cecilia asked Tobias to send her and Natalie to the stall she had mentioned earlier.
Tobias kept silent as he sent Cecilia and Natalie there.
When they arrived, Tobias merely waited in the car, while Cecilia and Natalie sat down to eat.
Natalie didn't have much of an appetite. She had too many things on her mind.
Cecilia glanced at Natalie and asked casually, "Did you guys quarrel?"
