Natalie was in bed. However, she kept thinking about what Tobias told her earlier.
Did she have low self-esteem and was she unaware of it?
Her mind drifted from those beautiful clothes to Tobias.
She always assumed that it was impossible for her to be with Tobias.
Previously, when she thought that she was pregnant, Tobias reassured her that he would take care of her. Yet, she felt that it was impossible because they did not live in the same world.
Did she think that way because of her low selfesteem?
Natalie was frightened by the idea.
Natalie drifted into the same dream again when she fell asleep.
Somebody was guiding her to find her doll. However, as she ventured further, she could no longer find her way back home.
She was shrouded in mist.
It had been a long time since she had the same dream. She never dreamed about it ever since she left the Godfrey family.
Tobias left when Natalie woke up.
Aunt Lee brought Natalie some breakfast and said, "Mr. Whitlock went on a business trip again. He hasn't finished negotiating the previous project, so he went back to finish what he started."
Natalie felt embarrassed when it occurred to her that Tobias, who was always responsible at work, returned halfway because he could not contact her.
Tobias was so nice to her!
Natalie took a sip of milk.
This milk was being flown in from New Zealand. It was very silky and fragrant.
Why was Tobias being so nice to her?
Natalie ate a mouthful of crepe.
Aunt Lee was good at making crepes. The crepe was filled with ham, vegetables, and other ingredients. It was important to check the time when making crepe and it was a lot of effort.
Initially, Aunt Lee did not like to make them. However, ever since Natalie mistakenly thought her period was a miscarriage, Aunt Lee began spending a lot of time to make delicious food for Natalie.
Was it because Natalie was likable?
Natalie ate another mouthful of crepe.
Well, that was possible.
She recalled her thoughts the previous night and she asked for Aunt Lee.
"Aunt Lee, sit here." She pulled out the chair next to her.
"Do you think Tobias and I are a good match?" Natalie blinked.
"Of course!" Aunt Lee answered without thinking, "You two are a perfect match!"
Natalie thought, "I can't ask Aunt Lee like this. I have to rephrase my question."
She asked again, "If a very poor woman has a crush on Tobias, do you think Tobias will like her? Anyway, that woman is someone from the lower rung of society."
Aunt Lee immediately barked, "Miss Godfrey, what are you talking about? How could Mr. Whitlock fall for a woman like that? Someone with that background doesn't deserve Mr. Whitlock. Miss Godfrey, you shouldn't think too much."
"So she doesn't deserve to be with Tobias?" Natalie seemed to be deep in her thoughts. "Everyone will think that way, right?"
"Of course!"
Natalie sighed. It seemed that she did not have low self-esteem. In fact,everyone thought that it was impossible for her to be with Tobias.
Otherwise, why else would Yvonne think that Natalie was delusional when she tried to convince Yvonne countless times.
Natalie was just Cinderella and there was no way she could change her identity. She needed to snap out of that.
When she arrived at the bus station, there was a red Ferrari parked nearby, which attracted the attention of passersby.
The car window winded down slowly when Natalie approached. It was Remington in the driver's seat.
Was this man waiting for her?
As expected, Remington waved at her and invited, "Get in."
