Chapter 53
Even Benjamin was confused. How could Mr. Whitlock receive so many messages?
Could it be that his phone number was leaked? Were some crazy female fans texting Mr. Whitlock
ceaselessly?
After all, putting aside Mr. Whitlock''s identity and status, his face was enough to make women run
after him.
However, Tobias did not mention anything, hence Benjamin did not n to ask.
Afterpleting the day''s work, Tobias rubbed his eyebrows and finally checked his phone.
Previously, his phone kept ringing with iing text messages. He could sense that Natalie was
behind it and she was probably spending money. It seemed that Natalie was determined to spend
money.
Suddenly, he was curious what Natalie bought and this prompted him to read the text messages.
The card bearing the final number XX was charged 310 dors at Pizza Hut.
The card bearing the final number XX was charged 710 dors at Ralph Lauren.
The card bearing the final number XX was charged 300 dors at Omecious Restaurant.
The card bearing the final number XX was charged 120 dors for two packets of potato chips,
three boxes of Oreo, four boxes of milk tea and four boxes of French chocte.
The card bearing the final number XX was charged 200 dors at Starbucks.
Tobias was at a loss for words.
Tobias was speechless when he set his mobile phone aside. Was this what Natalie meant by
spending a lot?
It seemed that this little girl really never spent a lot of money prior to this. The amount she spent
today might not even cover a quarter of the price for a pair of shoes purchased by wealthy women.
Suddenly, Tobias received a call from Cecilia.
"Are youing back, Tobias? I''ll wait for you in Themyscira Apartment."
After hanging up the phone, Tobias immediately drove to Themyscira Apartment. As expected,
Cecilia was waiting for him at the door.
"Mother, I''ll give you a door card next time, so that you won''t have to wait outside," Tobias
suggested.
Cecilia refused, "No thanks, I can''t always disturb you newlyweds. I am here today to give Natalie
something special."
"Where is Natalie?" Cecilia asked.
"She went shopping."
"Shopping? Is she buying clothes?"
"Maybe."
A smile appeared on Cecilia''s lips. She uttered, "This girl must have learnt how to dress up after
marrying into the Whitlock family. She probably went to buy some designer clothing. After all, Mrs.
Whitlock can''t be seen in casual clothes."
Tobias felt that his mother was thinking too much but he kept quiet.
Tobias and Cecilia chatted in the living room for a while.
"Natalie is not bad, right?" Cecilia asked.
"Not bad. She''s not like the typical daughter from a rich family. She''s down to earth and simple,"
Tobias answered.
Natalie was a very smart girl but she was innocent too. She was not asplex as the other
women he encountered.
A smile blossomed on Cecilia''s lips. She was satisfied with Tobias''s answer.
When she chose Natalie, she contemted the prospect of Natalie marrying into the family. Firstly,
Tobias had not been in close contact with women for so many years, hence she was overjoyed to
see Natalie in Tobias'' bed.
Furthermore, Natalie was dressed terribly but Cecilia''s intuition was so sharp and she could tell that
the girl was rtively simple and innocent.
Moreover, Natalie was quite beautiful despite dressing up terribly. In short, she was quite satisfied
with Natalie.
She was different from other mothers-inw. She did not pester her son to marry someone with an
affluent background. In her opinion, the Whitlock family had no need to look for a wealthy family or a
daughter of a politician to improve their power.
If she needed to point out something that she was unhappy with, that would be that Natalie needed
to improve on her fashion sense.
Of course, there was no need to rush and Natalie could be taught slowly. After all, Natalie was
beautiful and she was already out shopping for clothes too.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Natalie returned when the mother and son were talking about her.
Natalie was slightly taken aback when she spotted Cecilia. She immediately snapped back to her
senses and called sweetly, "Mom."
Tobias rxed a little. This girl was quite smart.
"Natalie, I heard from Tobias that you went shopping for clothes," Cecilia greeted Natalie with a
smile.
Natalie''s heart skipped a beat. She feared that Tobiasined that she spent too much money.
This man was really stingy. He had already allowed her to spend however she liked?
"What clothes did you get? Let me have a look." Cecilia wanted to see if Natalie''s taste had
improved to give Natalie some guidance.
Natalie took out the new clothes with a wry smile. In fact, she did not like it that much but Yvonne
forced her to buy it. Yvonne said that she wanted to wear matching clothes together.
"Mom, it''s quite expensive. I spent some money on this." Natalie was a little embarrassed. She
always assumed that all mothers-inw would not be fond of their shopaholic daughters-inw.
On the contrary, Cecilia was actually happy. She was relieved that Natalie had bought some
branded clothes. This girl was quite quick on her feet.
However, her face froze instantly when she saw "Ralph Lauren" printed on the shopping bag.
Natalie''s heart sank when she noticed Cecilia''s face change. Natalie yelped in her heart, "This is not
good. My mother- in-w really thinks that I have spent too much."
She took out the clothes from the shopping bag and exined, "The material is not bad, so it''s a
little expensive."
Cecilia''s face stiffened when she saw the fancy clothes in bright pink.
However, she had seen a lot. She changed her mind quickly and put on a smile. She replied, "Not
bad, not bad."
Cecilia thought that no matter how terrible this attire was, it was still better than what Natalie wore
when they first met. It was safe to say that Natalie made some progress.
Tobias, who was usually expressionless, put on a bitter smile when he noticed that Cecilia had a
stiff expression on her face. He did not know what to say when her mother forced herself to swallow
herints when sheid eyes on Natalie''s clothes.
"However, I think you should buy some clothes from Chanel in the future. I think it suits you better,"
Cecilia suggested kindly. Natalie did not catch Cecilia''s remarks and stared at her nkly.
"I mean the fashion brand, Chanel," Cecilia repeated slowly.
Natalie finally understood.
Chanel was the most expensive brand for Natalie. "That''s so expensive," Natalie whispered.
"You''re able to afford it no matter how expensive it
is. After all, you are now Mrs. Whitlock," Cecilia replied smilingly.
Natalie''s heart skipped a beat when Cecilia mentioned that Natalie was Mrs. Whitlock. A sense of
guilt instantly bloomed in her heart.
She was not silly and she could tell that Cecilia was nice to her.
She had never felt any sort of maternal love ever since she was a child, therefore Cecilia''s goodwill
moved her even more.
However, she lied to Cecilia and she was just pretending to be Tobias'' wife.
Natalie fell silent.
Cecilia knew that Natalie was born poor, so she needed to teach Natalie slowly about these things.
There was no need to hurry.
Cecilia took Natalie''s hand and led Natalie to the dining table. There was a thermos sk ced on
it.
Cecilia opened the sk and an aroma filled the apartment. "Tobias, bring me some cutlery," Cecilia
instructed.
Tobias frowned. He did not know what his mother was going to do.
However, he fetched some cutlery from the kitchen as requested.
Natalie''s heart skipped a beat inexplicably when she spotted Tobias holding the cutlery. She
suddenly discovered something!
