After a while, Lucy came back to her senses. She hurriedly put up a finger in front of her lips, shushing Natalie.
"Keep your voice down, it's a secret. The Whitlock family doesn't even know about it." Lucy whispered.
Natalie's heart suddenly sank.
It turned out that the child was really Lucy's.
Lucy said she was chaste only to keep this matter a secret.
A hint of bitterness appeared across Natalie's face.
What was she thinking? What was she assuming?
Hadn't she made up her mind a long time ago? Why was her heart still disappointed?
Natalie weakly put down the blush in her hand and was about to leave.
"Oh god! Is it so hard to be a godmother these days without thinking I'm pregnant?" Lucy grumbled softly to herself behind her.
Hearing this, Natalie's whole body jolted.
After a moment, she turned around and stared earnestly at Lucy, urging. "Sorry, what did you say? You're the godmother of the child, not the biological mother?"
Lucy didn't expect Natalie to hear her whining.
She glanced at Natalie's ears, "Your hearing is quite sharp."
"You're just the child's godmother, not the child's biological mother!" Natalie's tone became urgent as she repeated.
Lucy's mouth turned into a pout. "Not only do you have sharp ears, but you're also a repeater."
Natalie suddenly became agitated.
She took a step forward and suddenly raised her voice. "Is that true?"
Lucy,"..."
She stared suspiciously at Natalie.
Wasn't Natalie Remington's girlfriend? Why would she care so much about Tobias?
"Don't tell me she likes both of them!" Lucy thought to herself.
It didn't feel good to be cornered like that. Besides, Natalie already knew that Tobias had a child, so Lucy just said admittedly, "Yes, I was there a lot when this kid was born. So he pestered me and took me as his godmother. I am not the biological mother of this child."
Natalie's head went blank immediately, buzzing like a bomb.
"Then who is the child's birth mother?" After she had sobered up a little, Natalie asked in a hurry.
Lucy didn't intend to tell Natalie about it.
She looked at Natalie and said, "Why should I tell you? You can ask Tobias that yourself."
After that, Lucy took her bag and hurried away.
Natalie only felt dizziness.
She gripped her hands onto the vanity to prevent herself from falling down.
The past flashed up into Natalie's mind one by one.
At that time, she was overly agitated, so she didn't even think about it carefully.
Now that she recalled, there was something suspicious about it.
She didn't even confirm with her own eyes.
But because of her stubbornness, she had made up her mind on this matter.
The child at the airport....
Natalie's breathing got quicker.
That child... was it really like what Yvonne said? Was he her own child?
Natalie postponed the plan to go back today.
She looked apologizingly at Remington and said, "Remington, I think I'd better not go back tonight. I want to stay a few days longer."
A hint of surprise flashed across Remington's eyes. "Didn't you say this morning that you'll be returning tonight?"
Natalie managed to put on a smile. "I've changed my mind."
Remington paused to think for a moment. "Changed your mind? It's fine if you've changed your mind."
"Thank you, Remington."
" As per our relationship, do you still need to thank me?" A smug look appeared on Remington's face.
Natalie smiled even more reluctantly.
The reason she stayed was to find out the truth of the matter.
For example, what was going on with Tobias' child?
