Chapter 355
The corners of Tobias'' mouth twitched.
He would definitely talk to Selina after this so that he could tell her not to simply knock on Natalie''s
door.
As soon as Natalie went downstairs, she saw Cecilia.
She was sitting on the couch, looking as gentle and as beautiful as ever.
"Mom," Natalie called out sweetly.
She had realized that every time she saw Cecilia, she felt a gentle warmth inside.
"Natalie." Cecilia stood up with a smile.
She took Natalie''s hand and asked about her wellbeing.
In the end, after Selina''s constant urging for them to have breakfast did Natalie and Cecilia finally sit
at the table.
Selina bit on her fork and said, "Natalie, I''m jealous. I used to be the princess of the family that was
doted on the most, but now it''s you. Both Tobias and Mom pamper you so much. I''m jealous!"
Natalie smiled in embarrassment.
"Silly child, don''t be jealous of Natalie," Cecilia nced at Selina and said.
She only giggled in response.
Their breakfast was filled with cheer.
However, Cecilia told Natalie that she, unfortunately, had to fly back to the United States after
breakfast.
Natalie was extremely reluctant to part with her.
"Mom, can''t you stay a little longer?"
Cecilia shook her head with a smile and said, "I have something to do there. Besides, you have
your own life with Tobias too. It''s better not to disturb you two. That goes for Selina as well."
Once the words fell, Cecilia looked at Selina and continued, "Selina, Tobias and Natalie have their
own lives. You shouldn''t be here all the time."
Selina pouted in reply.
Natalie immediately replied, "Mom, it''s alright. It''s more lively with Selina here. Life would be boring
if she wasn''t around."
Selina immediately proimed proudly, "Look, even Natalie wants me to stay here."
Cecilia could only smile in response.
In the morning before Natalie left for school, Tobias gave her a new phone and a new SIM card.
"This card is your original phone number," he said.
She was a little taken aback.
He had already finished preparing her new phone and SIM card so soon?
"Okay, thank you," she said.
He had given her thetest iPhone.
"There''s no need to thank me. We''re husband and wife." He kissed her forehead and continued,
"See you in the evening."
It was obvious that Tobias'' "See you in the evening" meant something else entirely.
Natalie''s eyshes trembled.
"You definitely don''t mean that," she said in a light tone.
He didn''t deny anything and merely smiled.
"Natalie, maybe I wasn''t being straightforward enough," he said.
"Not straightforward enough?" She was stunned.
Tobias pulled Natalie into his arms and put his lips right by her ear. "If I was to be more
straightforward, I would say ''Let''s do it in the evening'', right?"
She was speechless.
She quickly escaped from his embrace and said, "Okay, I''m leaving now, bye."
She rushed into the ssroom.
"Let''s do it in the evening."
Those words lingered in her mind.
She couldn''t understand how a man like Tobias, who was as handsome as a god, could say things
like that.
Not long after Natalie arrived at school, Yvonne arrived as well.
When she saw her, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Natalie soon figured out the reason why.
She had suddenly disappeared and Yvonne was unable to get through to her as well. So, not only
would Yvonne definitely be puzzled, she would even ask where Natalie had gone.
In the end, she decided to make the first move before Yvonne could ask anything.
Natalie pulled her into an empty corridor. "Yvonne, I know what you''re going to ask. Do you want to
know why I suddenly disappeared? I had some personal matters to deal with. It''s not a big deal so
don''t worry."
Yvonne continued to stare at her.
She felt a chill under the stare.
"What?" Natalie took a step back subconsciously.
In the next moment, Yvonne suddenly surged forward to hug her.
"Natalie, you''re a big shot now. I''m going to suck up to you too."
Natalie was speechless.
She was confused by Yvonne''s words.
She pushed her away, "Yvonne, I don''t understand what you''re saying."
Yvonne stared at her with shining eyes. "Natalie, do you know who came to look for you when you
left that day?"
Natalie''s gaze trembled slightly.
From Yvonne''s expression, it seemed like an extraordinary person hade to look for her.
"An alien? The President of the United States?" She asked tentatively.
Yvonne was speechless.
She raised her voice before answering, "Tobias, Tobias Whitlock came looking for you."
Natalie''s heart skipped a beat.
Had her rtionship with Tobias been revealed?
However, revealing it would be a good thing too. Yvonne was her best friend so she would have to
know sooner orter.
Natalie wanted to tell her that it was just like what she thought, that she was together with Tobias
and that they would be holding a wedding soon. She wanted to invite Yvonne to the wedding too,
among other things.
However, before she could say anything, Yvonne said with admiration, "Natalie, it seems that your
father is doing well in YS Group since he even managed to ask Tobias for help when you went
missing."
Natalie was speechless.
A group of crows flew across her mind.
"Natalie, since your father is so awesome, can he introduce me to Tobias too? I want to get to know
my prince charming," Yvonne said excitedly.
Natalie swallowed audibly.
"Yvonne, if I tell you that the reason Tobias came here was not because of my father, would you
believe me? He was here because of me."
Yvonne tutted and said, "Natalie, stop daydreaming. If it wasn''t for your father bing the person-
in-charge of YS Group, how could Tobias possibly know you?"
Natalie was dumbfounded.
She silently swallowed all the things that she wanted to say before.
In an abandoned factory in Agaphen City.
The Chanel suit that Wendy was wearing shed with the dpidated environment.

Across her stood several strong, burly men.
She flung a photo towards the men. "Kidnap this woman and you all will be rewarded handsomely."
The men took the photos and shared a nce among themselves before they nodded at her.
After the men left, Wendy''s gaze shed maliciously.
She would never forgive Natalie.
How dare someone like her seduce Jack. She was definitely going to give Natalie a hard time.
Suddenly, her phone went off.
Wendy answered the call.
"Hi Jack." She tried her best to sound sweet.
"Wendy, didn''t you mention thest time that you wanted to visit the Maldives? I''m free right now
and I''ve already booked the ne tickets. Let''s go together." Jack''s voice was gentle and clear.
Wendy''s breathing hitched to a halt.
"Jack, I''m busy right now. Maybe some other time."
She then hung up in a hurry.
At the other end of the call, Jack''s eyes shed with confusion.
