Linda realized that she was the culprit who had caused a huge misunderstanding for Natalie and her.
"Natalie, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. My mind was in a mess. Don't tell President
Whitlock, or I'll be screwed."
"Don't worry. I know you did that for my own good."
Linda heaved a sigh of relief, "You're so lucky. Who would send a sweet message to his wife nowadays? You've really found a great husband. I envy you so much."
After the call with Linda, Natalie hung up with a smile on her face.
She was wondering if she should reply to Tobias' message.
But what should she reply to him?
Should she say 'I want'?
No, that would be too embarrassing.
Or should she just say 'I don't think so'?
However, she seemed to want it, probably a little.
Natalie did not think it was a good idea. Just as she was feeling conflicted, her phone suddenly rang again.
It was a number which she didn't know.
Natalie picked up the call in confusion. "Hello, who is this?"
"I'm Winnie's mother." A graceful voice could be heard from the other side of the call.
Natalie was shocked.
She did not understand at first, but later, she thought about it for a while and finally understood.
It was Winnie's mother.
But, why was Winnie's mother calling her?
"You must be Natalie, right? I have something to talk to you about. Can we meet?" Although she wanted to meet Natalie, but she still said it in a graceful way.
Natalie smiled.
As Winnie couldn't deal with her, she asked her mother for help.
Really good-for-nothing!
"I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm busy, I'm not as free as you are. If you have time, you can probably join the dancing class or something. Please don't disturb me. Goodbye." Natalie just hung up.
When the call was ended, a glimmer of light flashed in Tracy's eyes.
She put the speaker mode on, so Winnie could hear everything clearly.
Her expression changed, "Mom, you shouldn't have called her. I've told you earlier that she's a stubborn woman."
Tracy took a deep look at Winnie and said, "Winnie, since you can't make up your mind, I will help you to decide."
Winnie's hands, which were dangling by the sides, tightened immediately.
She really couldn't make the decision.
Her pride would not allow her to do so.
She was not a woman without principles.
But she really couldn't stand losing Tobias.
So, when Tracy decided for her, she tacitly agreed.
"Mom, you've seen it for yourself. She doesn't want to see you at all."
A smile of determination appeared on Tracy's face, "She will have to see me even if she doesn't want to."
Tracy gently patted Winnie's hand a few times, "There's no need for you to worry about this. I will handle it well for you. Rest assured that the suitable woman for Tobias is you, and not a woman who came from nowhere."
Winnie's eyes moved slightly.
She wanted to say something, but in the end, she kept quiet.
Natalie did not take Tracy's phone call seriously at all.
She thought that she would definitely not see Winnie's mother. What was she going to do? Kidnap her?
But what she did not expect was the counselor went to find her when the class was over.
"Natalie, someone is here to see you."
