Aunt Lee helped Natalie open the box and a sour smell filled the room.
The sour smell did not cause any discomfort. It only made one feel hungry.
"Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock is always thinking about you. He's so busy and yet he still remembered to bring you pickled vegetables. I heard that this store is very famous and there's a long queue every day. The news about the pickles has been posted all over the internet!"
Natalie stared at the pickles in the box.
The crispy pickled vegetables in the box were different from the ones Natalie had seen before. The color was very fresh and it looked delicious.
Natalie did not know of this store. She also knew that Tobias did not need to queue up to buy this.
However, she could not ignore the fact that Tobias had put in a lot of effort.
It was incredible that the president of the YS Group went to buy pickles for her.
Natalie's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions.
At that moment, Tobias picked up a piece and brought it to Natalie's mouth. He said, "Have a taste."
His eyes were deep and serene, like a whirlpool.
Natalie hitched her breathing.
A moment later, she bit the pickle.
It was delicious.
Natalie had never tasted a pickled vegetable like this.
It was not that she had never eaten pickled vegetables before, but she had never eaten such delicious ones. The feeling was indescribable.
After tasting the pickle, Natalie had an appetite for dinner.
She ate two bowls of pasta.
She thought that her stomach was rather spineless. She was trying to ignore Tobias, but she could not resist the delicious food, so she ate shamelessly.
Even though she knew that Tobias had bought it, Natalie still ate it all up.
Natalie was very sad.
She thought that she was indeed a spineless woman.
For example, the night before, she wanted to escape and felt that she hated Tobias very much, but the thought subsided little by little.
She even felt that she was beginning to deceive herself.
Perhaps Cecilia was right. Tobias did not say that he loved her because he was just not good with words. Deep down, he actually loved her.
"Tobias," Natalie put down the bowl in her hand and said, "You can ask all the bodyguards to leave. I won't try to escape again."
Tobias' eyes darkened. "Natalie, are you not angry anymore?"
Natalie's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She didn't know what she was thinking.
"Also, I want to go to work tomorrow!" Natalie looked at Tobias with a firmness in her eyes.
When she knew her father won the prize, she gave up the idea of working.
She thought that since Tobias was willing to pamper her, she would be capricious for once. She stopped working and considered it a relaxing holiday.
At that moment, she did not want to be a leech anymore.
She thought that it would be better if she was busy with her work. When she was free, she would overthink. She kept thinking if Tobias loved her or not.
"Natalie, you don't have to work because I will take care of you." Tobias stared into Natalie's eyes.
Natalie shook her head and said, "No, I want to work."
Tobias remained silent for a long time.
"If you want to, go ahead. However, you're not allowed to work in places like hotels and bars."
Natalie nodded. "Okay, I'm going to rest now."
After she finished, she went upstairs with a 'swoosh'.
Later that night, there was a knock on the door just as she expected.
She locked the door of the bedroom.
"Natalie is already asleep, so please don't disturb her!" Natalie shouted at the door.
