The corners of Tobias' mouth twitched.
He would definitely talk to Selina after this so that he could tell her not to simply knock on Natalie's door.
As soon as Natalie went downstairs, she saw Cecilia.
She was sitting on the couch, looking as gentle and as beautiful as ever.
"Mom," Natalie called out sweetly.
She had realized that every time she saw Cecilia, she felt a gentle warmth inside.
"Natalie." Cecilia stood up with a smile.
She took Natalie's hand and asked about her wellbeing.
In the end, after Selina's constant urging for them to have breakfast did Natalie and Cecilia finally sit at the table.
Selina bit on her fork and said, "Natalie, I'm jealous. I used to be the princess of the family that was doted on the most, but now it's you. Both Tobias and Mom pamper you so much. I'm jealous!"
Natalie smiled in embarrassment.
"Silly child, don't be jealous of Natalie," Cecilia glanced at Selina and said.
She only giggled in response.
Their breakfast was filled with cheer.
However, Cecilia told Natalie that she, unfortunately, had to fly back to the United States after breakfast.
Natalie was extremely reluctant to part with her.
"Mom, can't you stay a little longer?"
Cecilia shook her head with a smile and said, "I have something to do there. Besides, you have your own life with Tobias too. It's better not to disturb you two. That goes for Selina as well."
Once the words fell, Cecilia looked at Selina and continued, "Selina, Tobias and Natalie have their own lives. You shouldn't be here all the time."
Selina pouted in reply.
Natalie immediately replied, "Mom, it's alright. It's more lively with Selina here. Life would be boring if she wasn't around."
Selina immediately proclaimed proudly, "Look, even Natalie wants me to stay here."
Cecilia could only smile in response.
In the morning before Natalie left for school, Tobias gave her a new phone and a new SIM card.
"This card is your original phone number," he said.
She was a little taken aback.
He had already finished preparing her new phone and SIM card so soon?
"Okay, thank you," she said.
He had given her the latest iPhone.
"There's no need to thank me. We're husband and wife." He kissed her forehead and continued, "See you in the evening."
It was obvious that Tobias' "See you in the evening" meant something else entirely.
Natalie's eyelashes trembled.
"You definitely don't mean that," she said in a light tone.
He didn't deny anything and merely smiled.
"Natalie, maybe I wasn't being straightforward enough," he said.
"Not straightforward enough?" She was stunned.
Tobias pulled Natalie into his arms and put his lips right by her ear. "If I was to be more
straightforward, I would say 'Let's do it in the evening', right?"
She was speechless.
She quickly escaped from his embrace and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now, bye."
She rushed into the classroom.
"Let's do it in the evening."
Those words lingered in her mind.
She couldn't understand how a man like Tobias, who was as handsome as a god, could say things like that.
Not long after Natalie arrived at school, Yvonne arrived as well.
When she saw her, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
