The expression in Tobias' eyes did not change. "Why do you have so many questions, Hayden?"
"Okay." Hayden could only get out of the car with the lilies in hand.
However, a minute later, he ran back.
He waved his little hand at Tobias, who opened the window.
Hayden had seen through Tobias. "Daddy, you must have quarrelled with Natalie that day. You want to apologize to her but you're worried that she'll feel burdened to accept them. That's why you want me to give them to her, right?"
Tobias did not say anything.
How could his son have matured so quickly!
An awkward expression surfaced on Tobias's face. "Bye, I'm going to work."
Hayden stuck out his tongue at Tobias. "Daddy, you're a coward!"
Tobias did not hear this sentence, because he had already rolled the window up.
While Natalie was still asleep, she heard someone knocking on the door.
She got out of bed, still in a daze.
It couldn't be Tobias knocking on the door, could it?
After a moment, she shook her head and felt that she was thinking too much.
That day, Tobias had only come to pick up Hayden. Now that Hayden was no longer around, why would Tobias still come over?
Natalie opened the door.
The first thing that entered her field of view was a large bouquet of lilies.
The lilies seemed freshly picked, and there were still dewdrops on them.
Then, Natalie saw Hayden holding the lilies.
Hayden was tiny. Such a big bouquet nearly covered his entire body.
Natalie hurriedly took the lilies. "Hayden, why are you here?"
Hayden entered the room and said, "Daddy asked me to come, and he also asked me to give you these lilies."
Natalie's breathing hitched.
She said in disbelief, "These are for me?"
Tobias had been so harsh with her just the night before, and now he was giving her lilies?
She could not believe it.
Hayden remembered when he'd seen a man chasing after a girl on TV. He repeated what the man had said, "Of course, Daddy said that you're as pure and elegant as these lilies, that's why he's given them to you! He's hoping to move you with these flowers."
Natalie said nothing.
She was very doubtful of what Hayden was saying.
She couldn't believe that Tobias would say anything like that.
However, if it was not because of Tobias, Hayden would not have come here with a bouquet of lilies for no reason.
Regardless, looking at the large bouquet of lilies, Natalie's mood inexplicably improved.
A faint smile started to form on her lips.
However, she quickly managed to rein it in.
What was she thinking about?
How could she get happy like a child receiving candy after being slapped?
Not to mention, she still did not know whether this large bouquet of lilies was from Tobias or not.
In the evening, Natalie went back to work at the private club.
Before work started, all of them had to attend a meeting.
During the meeting, each server was given two sets of uniforms which consisted of long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
The manager also specifically said that the previous uniforms were going to be collected back, and none of the servers would be allowed to wear short skirts in future.
One of the staff members could not help but ask, "Sir, will we have to wear long sleeves and long pants in the summer too?"
The manager replied with certainty, "Yes. Short sleeves and short skirts cannot appear in this establishment from now on!"
After the meeting, everyone got together and began to discuss.
"Who came up with this rule? What an idiot."
