Chapter 510
Before Tobias could open his mouth, Hayden already butted in, his voice muffled by the food in his
mouth, "Natalie, you don''t have to do it by yourself. Men are supposed to serve women."
He swallowed, "And women are meant to serve children."
Natalie kept to herself.
What kind of logic was that...
After dinner, Tobias wanted to bring Natalie out to shop for clothes.
She was still wearing the same pajama set from the day before.
Natalie agreed.
Her big bag of clothes was still in Remington''s car. It was impossible for her to get them back now,
so she had no choice but to buy new ones.
Hayden, being the kid that he was, insisted on tagging along.
Natalie felt that it was weird to go shopping alone with Tobias, so she begged for Hayden to be
brought along too.
However, as soon as they were outside, Natalie realized that taking Hayden with them might not
have been the best idea.
Because when they walked on the street, it felt like they were a family of three.
As soon as the thought emerged in Natalie''s mind, her face started to blush again. What was she
thinking?
When she finally came to herself, she realized that Tobias had taken them to a high-end shopping
mall nearby.
Natalie jumped in her skin.

The clothes in that shopping mall were shockingly expensive. She had been there once when she
was dress- shopping for thepany''s annual party, only to be put off by the pricing.
Natalie waved her hand and whispered, "Mr. Whitlock, let''s go somewhere else. It''s too expensive
here. I don''t have that much money with me.
She reckoned she would not be able to afford a single piece of clothing there even if she sold off all
her belongings.
Tobias''s dark, alluring eyes fell on Natalie''s face, "I''m paying."
His tone was clear and gentle, giving off a sense offort.
It was as if it was only natural for him to pay for
Natalie.
Natalie''s head was shaking like a rattle drum.
How could she so shamelessly let the big boss pay for her? She was a nobody to him.
"Natalie, you''re not being paid to take care of Hayden for me." Tobias abruptly stated.
Natalie froze.
He was right. She was looking after Hayden, but he never mentioned anything about sry.
"Seeing as how I''m already exploiting you, it''s only right for me to buy you something, isn''t it?"
Tobias slightly raised his brows.
Natalie blinked several times.
What he had said seemed to make sense.
The big boss was already benefiting from her, there was nothing wrong with letting him buy her a
few pieces of clothing.
"So," Tobias paused for a moment then smiled, e on."
Natalie trailed after Tobias in a daze.
Only when she walked into a Chanel boutique did she realize something.
Was she not taking care of Hayden because she needed to pay for thepany''s losses? How did
it turn into Tobias''s exploiting her?
Natalie was unable to wrap her head around it.
Just then, Hayden whispered cheekily in Natalie''s ear, "Natalie, you should buy as much as you
want. My dad has a lot of money, the only issue is that he has no one to spend it on. If you''d like,
you can even buy the whole mall!"
The kid had really rendered Natalie speechless.
The store attendant brought Natalie a white coat.
The coat was thin and breezy, just right for the season.
This gave Natalie a shback to thest time when she was there. She hade to the store to
buy a gown for the annual party, but the store attendants had been particrly cold towards her,
and their eyes looked anywhere but at her.
This time, however, thedy attendant had on such a friendly smile, and her voice was ever so
gentle.
Natalie quickly realized that it was because the big boss was next to her.
All of a sudden, Natalie felt like she was taking advantage of his power.
After putting on the thin outerwear, Natalie walked out of the fitting room.
She looked really good in that style of clothing.
It made her appear dainty and angelic.
Naturally, thedy showered Natalie with praises.
Tobias''s gazended on Natalie.
Somehow, when the big boss''s eyes fell on her, Natalie''s heart suddenly started to pound.
Her fingers clutched the hem of her clothes, her face slightly flushed.
"D- Does it look good?" Her voice was as soft as a mosquito''s.
"It''s pretty! My Natalie is the prettiest," Hayden winked at her in a singsong tone.
Natalie''s heart lifted nheless.
She still had not received an answer from Tobias.
"It''s beautiful." Natalie finally heard the man''s tender voice of affirmation, "Natalie, you look good in
anything.”
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt a sudden spark of joy in her heart.
She did not realize how much she anticipated Tobias''s reaction when she changed into the new
clothes.
"We''ll take this one," Tobias told the store attendant.
Thedy nodded with a smile then asked Natalie, "Miss, are there any other designs you''d like to
look at? Our autumn series this year is quite popr."
Natalie scanned the racks.
Indeed, they were all stunning.
Too bad they were all too expensive.
She shook her head, "It''s fine."
Although the big boss was paying, she could not take his money for granted.
"Are they not to your liking? In fact, our new designs from this year all suit you quite well." Thedy
was particrly attentive.
Natalie gave an apologetic smile, "They''re all really pretty, they''re just a little costly."
As soon as she finished, Tobias''s smooth voice sounded, "We''ll take all of this season''s new
designs, make sure they''re in her size."
"Yes, sir." Thedy attendant smiled cheerfully.
Natalie did not know how to respond to that.
She did not expect Tobias to be this generous. This meant that he would be buying close to a
quarter of the store''s designs.
She walked over to Tobias and urged softly, "Mr. Whitlock, don''t waste your money. You don''t know
how expensive the clothes here are."
Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly, "I''ve already exploited you by asking you to take care of Hayden
without paying you, shouldn''t you let me treat you to something?"
Natalie blinked and countered back, "But I''m taking care of Hayden to pay back my debt from the
contract that had caused thepany to suffer such huge a loss.”
Calmly, Tobias said, "Actually, Natalie, I''ve already settled the contract issue. It won''t cause the
company any losses."
Natalie''s eyes widened. "So why... Mr. Whitlock?"
Tobias had originally asked her to be Hayden''s caretaker to pay for thepany''s losses.
"Because I wanted to make good use of you, by not only taking up your work time, but also your
after hours." Tobias fixed his grin on Natalie''s face, a hint of yfulness in his tone.
What could Natalie say to that?
He really was an evil capitalist!
Natalie suddenly felt that she had bought too little. She should have splurged more!
Having done quite a lot of shopping, there was no way they could bring them back on their own.
Therefore, Tobias asked the store attendant to have the purchases delivered to them at the
Whitlock family''s vi.
As they were leaving, thedy attendant said to Natalie with great admiration, "Miss, you''re so lucky.
Your husband treats you so well, and your son is so handsome."
Natalie remained silent.
Natalie exined awkwardly, "I''m not, I''m just the little boy''s nanny."
Thedy was caught speechless.
Instantly, she shot Natalie a strange look.
