Chapter 54


    This man was always decisive and cold. However, currently, he seemed somewhat approachable


    and he gave off a warm and charming aura.


    Cecilia filled two bowls of soup and said, "One bowl for each of you. I made it myself."


    Natalie was very full but she did not want to turn down Cecilia''s kindness, knowing that thetter


    went through the trouble of cooking it herself. Therefore, Natalie simply sat down and drank the


    soup slowly.


    The soup was very delicious. There were beef cubes and all kinds of vegetables in the soup.


    "This is a secret fertility soup. I used to drink this and I became pregnant with Tobiaster. Natalie, if


    you drink this together with Tobias, I guarantee that you will have a chubby son soon." Cecilia


    beamed.


    Natalie, who was drinking soup, spat out the soup when she heard "fertility soup". The content of


    her spit formed an arch in the air beforending into Tobias'' bowl eventually.


    Tobias was at a loss for words.


    A glow shed in his eyes. Natalie''s table etiquette was horrible.


    He nced at his bowl, which contained Natalie''s saliva, and lost all interest in drinking the soup.


    Natalie kept coughing while Tobias was still indifferent. Cecilia patted Natalie''s shoulder and


    comforted thetter, "Natalie, don''t get too excited. Are you ecstatic after hearing what I said?"


    Cecilia was overjoyed. She did not expect that Natalie wanted to get pregnant with a chubby son so


    badly.


    Natalie was speechless.


    After drinking the soup, Cecilia pointed out another matter.


    Cecilia wanted to talk about Tobias and Natalie''s wedding ceremony.


    "As the president of YS Group, you can''t just get a marriage license and be done with it. You have


    to hold a grand wedding that will shock the world to dere that you''re married," Cecilia uttered.


    Fear crept into Natalie''s heart.


    Oh god, not a grand wedding! She was pretending to be Tobias'' wife and it was just part of the


    agreement.


    In order to cover up her nerves, Natalie lowered her head and continued to drink the soup.

    Something dawned on her and she stopped after taking another sip. This was fertility soup. What if


    she got pregnant?


    On second thought, how could she get pregnant? She had not been sleeping with Tobias before,


    hence it was impossible for her to get pregnant.


    Natalie drank another sip and felt at ease. Suddenly, a thought urred to her.


    She did sleep with Tobias once and they did not use any contraceptive methods!


    Natalie''s face turned pale with fear.


    Meanwhile, Tobias decided to stall his mother. He replied, "Mother, don''t be hasty. Let''s talk about


    thister. You want a grand wedding, so it''s not possible in such a short time."


    "I''ll get the necessary preparations first." Cecilia was very proactive.


    "Let''s talk about thister," Tobias answered tly, "Father will definitely have to attend my wedding


    but he''s not in good health right now. Let''s talk about holding the ceremony when he''s better."


    Cecilia''s mood immediately dimmed when Tobias mentioned his father. She did not discuss the


    wedding after that.


    "You''re right. Let''s talk about this when your father gets better. I''ll go back to Europe to visit your


    father tomorrow."


    As she spoke, Cecilia no longer had the mood to chat and she left hurriedly after bidding goodbye.


    "My mother''s going to Europe tomorrow, so I won''t need to deal with her for the time being," Tobias


    said.


    He could tell that Natalie did not like the idea of living under the same roof with a man. They were


    pretending to be married and they were not obliged to live together. In fact, it would be better if they


    avoid living together.


    However, Natalie did not look happy like she usually would when he finished. Her face was a little


    uneasy and pale. "What''s wrong, Natalie?" Tobias asked.


    "Do you think that I''m pregnant?" Natalie fumbled with her fingers helplessly.


    Tobias'' face froze.


    "The baby''s yours," Natalie added.


    "Don''t you think you''ve watched too many dramas? Do you think this is a magical soup that''ll get


    you pregnant after drinking it?"


    Natalie shook her head. "No, our first time..."


    As Natalie spoke, she was a little embarrassed. After struggling for a moment, she gritted her teeth


    and blurted out, "We didn''t use any contraceptive methods."


    It was not until Natalie mentioned it that Tobias recalled that not only did they not use any


    contraceptive methods, but they had been at it for a very long time.


    "Do you think I..." Natalie stared at Tobias worriedly. "There''s not a lot of coincidence," Tobias


    replied. "What if there is?" Natalie was still worried.


    "There''s no ''what if."


    "But what if there is!"


    "If so," Tobias''s voice was clear and low, "We''ll be real husband and wife. I''ll be responsible for what


    I did."


    Natalie was shocked by his words. She looked up and suddenly sank into his dark eyes, making her


    heart skip a beat.


    How could the notion of being a real married couple be more frightening than having a baby?


    "There aren''t so many coincidences," Natalieforted herself, "Otherwise, there wouldn''t be so


    many people who are sterile or infertile."


    The more Natalie thought about it, she seemed to think the possibility was higher. "Maybe we are


    sterile and infertile. Don''t you think so? We must be!"


    She stared at Tobias expectantly, only to find that the man''s face was odd.


    Natalie understood immediately and added with a wry smile, "I don''t mean that you''re sterile. That''s


    not what I meant."


    "Then what do you mean? Hmm?" Tobias''s voice rose with a hint of threat.


    "I mean I''m infertile. Hahaha, that''s what I mean."


    Tobias did not know what to say.


    He thought that this little girl was really a little silly. This was the first time he heard a woman


    describing herself in such a way.


    Before going to bed, Natalie wanted to return the golden card to Tobias.


    "I told you this is for you." Tobias'' eyes wereposed.


    "No, no, no. I won''t be able to control my spending if I hold on to it. Look at how much I spent


    today." Natalie was determined to return the gold card to its owner.


    Tobias raised his eyebrows and replied, "You didn''t spend a lot today." "It''s not a lot?" Natalie was


    shocked.


    Tobias did not know how to exin it to her.


    "Let''s put it this way. I can''t even buy a belt with the amount you spent today," Tobias answered her


    in the simplest way.


    Natalie widened her eyes and eximed, "Oh my god, what kind of belt would be that expensive?


    Let me see it."


    She was so curious that she stretched out her hands to check Tobias'' belt. It was not until she bent


    down and got close to his abdomen that she realized what she was doing.


    "I didn''t mean it." Natalie wanted to jump away from Tobias to put distance between them.


    However, she did not manage to back away. Without realizing it, her hair was hooked on Tobias''


    belt.


    Natalie immediately untangled her hair but the more she tried to untangle it, the more entangled it


    became. Natalie was very short-tempered and she was on the verge of exploding.


    "What freaking belt is this? It''s so annoying." Natalie hit the belt as if she was trying to vent her


    anger.


    "Natalie, do you want to die?" Tobias inhaled sharply.


    This was the first time Natalie heard Tobias speak to her so harshly...
