"Yes, that's exactly what it looks like." Tobias returned Natalie's gaze, a smile in his eyes.
He wrapped one arm around Natalie, and the other around Hayden.
Natalie's grin grew wider.
Happiness swelled up within her.
Hayden arrived at the Whitlock family house.
This was his first tat the Whitlock family house.
Hayden was pretty interested with mansions in the United States, and he had tons of fun.
At the stime, everyone was making preparations for Peter's 80th birthday celebration.
Hayden was chatting with Natalie, asking what it would be like.
Natalie wasn't sure either.
She had seen the average old folks' birthday celebrations, which were friends and relatives coming together for a meal and all of that. Peter was different from them, though.
His birthday celebration would definitely also be different from the average person's.
Judging from the current situation, it would indeed be grand. In fact, it looked as though they were going to hold a ball or something.
Natalie said, "Maybe it'll be like those shown on TV, where a lot of nobles and rich people will cand have a buffet together, chatting and dancing, et cetera." In fact, she had no idea herself. Everything she knew was based on what she had seen on television.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe gears in Hayden's mind worked.
After a while, he suddenly stood up and scrutinised Natalie from top to bottom.
Natalie was nervous. "Why are you looking at me?" Hayden leaned close to Natalie's ear and said, "Natalie, there'll definitely be a lot of pretty ladies who cat that time. Daddy is so handsome, you'll have to be careful so that he doesn't get snatched away." Natalie couldn't hold back her laughter.
She said seriously, "Rest assured that it won't happen, I'm confident." She still had confidence in Tobias and believed that no woman could snatch Tobias away, no matter how pretty she was.
Hayden shook his head, saying, "Natalie, even if he doesn't get snatched away by those women, you can't let them steal the limelight. I've seen these social events on TV, the women would all compete with one another." Natalie was speechless.
She couldn't help patting Hayden on the head. "Hayden, I really wonder what goes on in your mind. How can you be so mature for your age?" He even knew that social events were a place where women competed with each other... Hayden acted like a little old man. "That's the way things are! Natalie, you can't lose to them." Natalie smiled, but she wasn't bothered.
That evening, however, she saw Selina preparing her outfit for the celebration.
She kept asking Natalie which gown looked better.
"By the way, Natalie, have you prepared a gown?" Selina suddenly asked.
Natalie was taken by surprise.
She had yet to prepare anything.
"I haven't yet." Natalie shook her head.
"That won't do!" Selina immediately took one of her gowns and held it up against Natalie's body.
"There's going be lots of socialites and nobles present during the event, and you can't lose to them. Here, pick one of mine." Selina's gowns were all brand new.
In the end, Natalie picked a gown which suited her.
On the way back to her room, she looked at the gown in her hand and thought of what Hayden had said.
Natalie wondered if she had been too indifferent to the situation.
On such an occasion with so many people attending, even if she didn't care about herself, she should still take Hayden and Tobias into consideration.
She wanted everyone to know that Tobias' wife, Hayden's mother, was a very outstanding person too! At this, Natalie was motivated.
When Tobias walked into their room, he was surprised to see Natalie holding a gown.
He raised an eyebrow. "Why'd you suddenly think of getting yourself a gown?" Natalie said directly, "Will there be many socialites and nobles attending Mr. Whitlock's birthday celebration?" Yes..." Natalie gritted teeth. "I'm going to dress myself up and make myself look good so that I embarrass you and Hayden, then." Tobias couldn't restrain his laughter.
He stood up and wrapped his arms around Natalie. "Natalie, you don't need to do that. No matter what, you'll always be the best to me. You don't need to purposely prepare anything." Natalie shook her head.
She was particularly determined this time.
"No, I have to," Natalie said seriously.
Tobias' eyes fell on Natalie's serious face. "You want to be a crowd-stunner?" Natalie was embarrassed all of a sudden.
She tugged at her hair and said, "No, I just don't want to appear too shabby. I'm not sextraordinary beauty, so I don't plan on stunning anybody." Natalie knew herself very well.
Her looks weren't enough to stun the crowd.
Tobias looked at her dotingly. "Says who? Natalie, you're the prettiest woman in the world, and nobody compares to you." She was even more embarrassed by Tobias' words.
Tobias suddenly took the gown from Natalie and put it aside. "Natalie, I'll take you to buy another gown." Natalie was stunned.
"This one is fine, isn't it?" Though it belonged to Selina, it was brand new, and it suited her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA smile flashed in Tobias' eyes. "Natalie, I will satisfy all your needs, including your desire to stun the crowd." It didn't matter to him what Natalie wore during the birthday celebration.
Because no matter what Natalie wore, she would still be the most beautiful one to him.
But since Natalie wanted it, he would satisfy her.
The invitation for Peter's birthday celebration was sent to the Sherman family.
Yuna threw the invitation aside. "I'm not going." Yuna's mother, Ruby Biden, furrowed her rows. "Yuna, are you still unhappy about what happened that day?" Irritation flashed across Yuna's face. These days, whenever she thought of what happened that day, she would feel very, very annoyed.
Yuna had never been this disgraced before.
"Mom, Natalie pulled tricks onand humiliated me. I don't want to go," said Yuna spitefully.
A strange look flashed through in Ruby's eyes. "Yuna, do you really want to admit defeat to a country bumpkin, just like this?" Yuna had told Ruby that Natalie was born in a very mediocre family. To Ruby, who was of noble descent, mediocre families were the sas being a country bumpkin.
Yuna said angrily, "What can I do?" Tobias was so protective of Natalie. What could she possibly do? She wasn't stupid.
