Hayden looked at Peter and asked in a light tone, "Great- grandpa, why does Daddy have to meet with Yuna?"
Peter suddenly became unhappy. "How can you refer to her as Yuna?"
Hayden stuck out his tongue.
He'd wanted to call her a b*tch at first, but greatgrandpa seemed to like this Yuna a lot, so Hayden held back.
Yuna helped Hayden out. "Grandpa, it's fine. I find Hayden adorable. It's not a big deal if he calls me by my name directly."
After saying that, she smiled at Hayden and cooed, "Hayden, what do you think?"
Although Yuna's tone sounded sickly sweet, Hayden had goosebumps all over his body.
He felt like her smile was just there for show.
It never reached her eyes.
Peter looked at Hayden very seriously. "Hayden, Yuna is going to marry Tobias in the future. You can't call her name just like that. It's impolite and out of order."
Hayden's jaw dropped.
What? This b*tch was going to be with his father?
Was she going to be his stepmother?
Then what about Natalie?
Natalie and Daddy were a match made in heaven!
On the other hand, Yuna was a little flustered by Peter's words.
After all, she was just a young lady.
Yuna's face turned slightly red as she said, "Grandpa, you're saying such a thing when we haven't even met yet..."
Peter looked very assured. "What are you talking about? I've already given my blessings, haven't I?"
Cecilia walked aside and said nothing.
Peter was too confident in himself...
Hayden quietly slipped away from the table.
Making sure no one spotted him, he darted into his bedroom and dialed Natalie's number.
At this time, Natalie had already gotten up and was getting ready to leave.
Yvonne called her the night before, saying that she had found her a job. It was an in-house French translator, and the salary offered was quite high.
Natalie was just about to step out of her apartment when she received a phone call from Hayden.
"Natalie, something bad happened, something really terrible!" Hayden cried out first thing in an exaggerated tone.
Natalie was shocked.
"Hayden, calm down. Let's talk about it slowly." Although she told him this, Natalie's breathing unconsciously quickened.
"Natalie, do you still remember b*tch I mentioned? It turns out that she has a big secret!"
Natalie was at a loss for words.
She had truly thought that something horrible had happened...
A big secret? Hayden must have been watching too much TV.
She gave a small snort and said, "What's wrong?"
"Natalie, she wants to be my stepmother!"
What followed was silence.
Natalie's brain was abuzz, and she couldn't think.
"Natalie, Natalie..." Hayden repeatedly called from the other end.
He did not hear Natalie answering him.
Natalie came back to her senses.
She tightened her grip on her phone and said, "Hayden, go on." "Natalie, my great-grandpa brought her here just to meet my father. She wants to be my stepmother! Natalie, your status is in danger, you have to do something about it," Hayden said hurriedly.
Natalie's mind was a whirling mess.
Hayden went on, but Natalie didn't hear what he said at all.
After hanging up the phone, she was absentminded for a long time.
Tobias was looking for a new partner?
Had he already moved on after such a short time?
For some reason, Natalie felt a sour pang in her chest.
It gnawed at her insides, making her feel like all strength had left her body.
Realizing that she was in a bad state, Natalie pinched her thigh hard.
What was she thinking about?
Hadn't she always dreamt of living a life without Tobias?
Now that he had moved on, shouldn't she give her blessings?
He'd finally stopped pestering her and was starting his new life. She had to bless him, she had to.
Yes, she had to.
