Then she nodded and said, "Then I'm leaving. Have a good rest."
There was no response at all. The only sound was the door closing as she walked out of Tobias' room.
Natalie's eyelashes trembled.
Just like the butterfly that had fallen after the rain, her lashes were slightly damp.
After a while, the corners of her lips suddenly rose again.
She patted herself hard on the head.
What was she thinking just now?
It was not that she was not aware of the affection he had for her.
"Natalie, stop being pretentious anymore," she muttered to herself.
She found that she had a problem which was being too pretentious.
Otherwise, how could she have caused so much trouble in the past?
The corners of Natalie's lips curled up reluctantly.
That night, she did not sleep well.
She was tossing and turning all night.
She subconsciously touched her stomach with her hand.
She was instantly shocked.
Now that she was pregnant, she should not sleep so late.
She stopped herself from tossing and turning in bed. Then she closed her eyes and started counting sheep.
As expected, this trick worked. Soon after, she fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Natalie woke up very late.
After washing up, she went downstairs. While walking down the stairs, she overheard the conversation between Cecilia and Selina.
"Mom, why did Natalie get up so late today? I'm worried that she will be late. Should I go and wake her up?"
"Don't go. Pregnant people are always sleepy. It was like this when I was pregnant with your brother."
"Mom, I feel that there has been something wrong with Tobias recently."
Natalie suddenly stopped.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There' s nothing wrong with Tobias."
"I feel that he is not paying as much attention to Natalie as before. When Natalie just got pregnant, he would eat breakfast and send her to school every day, but now, there's no sight of him at all. He didn't even ask how Natalie is doing."
Her breathing became rapid.
"Selina, don't talk nonsense. I know how well Tobias is treating Natalie. He is too busy with work now, so he can't pay as much attention to Natalie as before."
"Ah, you are right. Tobias had always treated Natalie well. Maybe he is really too busy with work now."
She felt that her feet were nailed to the ground with needles.
Her mind was a little confused.
She was not a fool. Everything that Selina said, she had felt it as well.
After a long while, Natalie took a deep breath.
"Natalie, what are you thinking about now? Didn't I tell you yesterday that you shouldn't be pretentious? Stop being pretentious!"
She tried her best to squeeze out a smile.
Just like what Cecilia had said, Tobias was just too busy with work.
As the president of such a big company, he must be very busy. How could he have time to focus on a woman every day?
She went downstairs.
"Natalie, you've finally awake." Selina was the first one to see her.
She pulled Natalie to the table and said, "Mom made breakfast and specially waited for you. I'm starving, but Mom won't allow me to eat it first. She insisted that we wait for you."
Natalie looked at Cecilia gratefully and said, "Mom, thank you. You don't need to wait for me next time."
Cecilia smiled gently.
At the dining table, Cecilia seemed chatty. She said, "Natalie, the company has been busy recently. Sometimes you may feel left out. Don't mind Tobias. Men sometimes are overly focused on their careers. Only in this way can they provide a good life for your baby and you."
Natalie nodded vigorously and said, "Mom, I know he's busy. Don't worry, I don't mind."
