Hayden liked eating bread, and he liked Ultraman too.
Natalie thought to herself perhaps she could try learning how to bake bread, and to bake an Ultraman-shaped one for Hayden.
Maybe if that happened, Hayden would be elated.
At this thought, Natalie immediately went to work.
She went to buy all kinds of baking ingredients and books about baking, and even bought a big oven and brought it over to her apartment.
Seeing this, Yvonne was dumbfounded.
She had not expected Natalie to still be in the mood to learn baking when she was shrouded in all kinds of sadness.
But soon, Yvonne came to a realization.
Natalie's heart was too bitter at the moment. She had to find some kind of sustenance and do something to kill time to keep her mind off things.
Perhaps, this was a method for her to escape from pain.
Natalie had no previous baking experience, so to successfully bake bread, not to mention an
Ultraman-shaped one, was difficult for her.
All she did the whole day was read all kinds of baking books and watch tutorial videos over and over again. She attempted to make bread repeatedly as if she was possessed.
When she failed, Natalie would start from scratch without a single complaint...
Since she had been kneading the dough all day, her hands were red and swollen.
Yvonne tried to tell Natalie off and take it easy. In response, Natalie shook her head, saying that the next time she saw Hayden, he would definitely be happy when he saw the Ultraman-shaped bread.
Yvonne knew that Natalie had definitely turned stubborn again.
The only difference was that last time, it was for Tobias, but this time, it was due to Hayden.
She could not say anything much, so all she could do was stay by Natalie's side.
Yvonne secretly gave a sigh of relief. Luckily, she did not have much work on her hands since she had angered Jenkins. Otherwise, she would not have had so much time to accompany Natalie.
While Yvonne was in her thoughts, Penney called her.
Penney's words were very concise. "Yvonne, Mr.
Quartley's assistant Mr. Zeager, wants to ask if you have anything to say to Mr. Quartley right now."
There was a hint of caution in Penney's tone.
But Yvonne did not realize this at all.
She huffed and said, "What else is there to say? Thank Mr. Quartley for stopping all my work, but let him know that I'm living a good life now! I won't die without him!"
When she saw what had happened to Natalie during this period of time, she was suddenly enlightened.
Honestly, there were many things that we need not care so much about, and it was also not necessary to take losses so heavily.
For someone to be alive and live well was the best thing possible.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Penney was so scared she didn't dare say anything.
She glanced at Zeager, and he signalled for her to hang up with his eyes.
Penney shivered and ended the call.
Zeager was right there, but it was not like Penney could just tell Yvonne that he was right beside her.
However, Penney hadn't expected Yvonne, who was normally ambitious, not to complain about all her work being stopped. In fact, she'd said something so infuriating.
"Mr. Lee, Yvonne must still be mad to be saying things like that. Perhaps you should hide this from Mr. Quartley to avoid angering him?" Penney said apprehensively.
However, Zeager had no intention of helping Yvonne hide the truth.
"Miss Lee, I will make sure to pass all of Miss Simpson's words on to Mr. Quartley," Zeager replied with complete sincerity.
Penney was speechless.
She felt awkward. Couldn't Zeager be a little more of a people person? Could he not make a compromise and spare her?
Zeager seemed to have figured out what Penney was thinking.
He explained, "Miss Lee, I'm really sorry. Mr. Quartley doesn't like people lying to him."
