Yuna smiled. "The weather is chilly, and I want to get my chauffeur to pickup later. My phone's dead, that's all. Don't tellyou don't want to lendyour phone because you're worried I'll use it to do something?" There was a hint of provocation in her words.
The corners of Natalie's lips twitched.
She straight-up tossed the phone at Yuna.
She wanted to see what kind of trick Yuna had up her sleeves. Would she use her phone to send Tobias a text, making it sound like she wanted to break up with him? On the contrary, Natalie was rather looking forward to it.
She wanted to see if Tobias trusted her enough, the sway that she trusted him infinitely right now.
Yuna returned the phone to Natalie after a while.
She gave a smirk. "I don't feel like calling my servant anymore. You can leave now." Natalie was stunned by the sudden change in Yuna's attitude.
She was waiting for Yuna to pull off another great performance, but she ended up giving the phone back to her and asking her to leave.
Was Yuna trying to pull something funny again? Or maybe she had originally wanted to put on a big show, but had abruptly lost interest.
Yuna continued arrogantly, "You don't have to think too much. There's no other reason forcalling you out here and dismissing you. I just think that you're a servant at my beck and call. A normal girl like yourself is no different than a servant in my eyes." Her words were full of contempt.
The contempt of an arrogant, wealthy young lady towards an ordinary girl.
Natalie cback to her senses.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer eyes flashed.
Yuna had already mocked her a few times from the day before until now.
However, Natalie didn't say anything, partly because she didn't want to make things hard for Peter, and partly because Yuna had helped Tobias.
However, that did not mean that she could or would endure it forever.
If she continued to endure this, she would actually be taken as a total pushover! Natalie spoke as if she was totally unfazed. "I see. I just have to let you know that I'm not so easily ordered around. I've just been lenient on you because of your help towards my husband." There was a slight change in Yuna's expression.
She tauntingly retorted, "You're calling Tobias your husband now. You really are sure of yourself." Natalie gave a bright smile. "Yes, I've always been confident. It's one of my strong suits. Do you know why my husband likesso much? It's because he likes my confidence." Natalie deliberately referred to Tobias as her husband with the express purpose of making Yuna feel uncomfortable.
Yuna had wanted to embarrass her, so now Natalie wanted her to feel the same.
Three strikes, and you're out. Natalie had reached the end of the line of her patience. Search the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Upon hearing Natalie's words, Yuna's elegant eyebrows knitted together.
She felt like Natalie's dazzling smile was nothing but an eyesore.
"Hmph, confidence is your strong suit. You're really thick-skinned," Yuna mocked.
Natalie suddenly stopped smiling and fixed her gaze on Yuna's face.
It was almost as if she could see right through Yuna.
Yuna's goosebumps rose at Natalie's gaze.
She touched her face subconsciously. "Why do you keep staring at my face?" It was Natalie's turn to laugh. "It seems like you think your own skin is even thicker, so you can't help but touch it. Honestly, compared to you, there's a gap between how thick-skinned we are." Yuna was speechless. She threw a furious glare, exclaiming. "You...!" Natalie's smile grew. "I have a name, you know. I didn't get the chance to properly introduce myself with Mr. Whitlock around, so letdo so now. I'm Natalie Godfrey, and I'm Tobias' legally wedded wife. You'd do well to remember that." Natalie's smile held a sharp edge to it.
She did not say anything at dinner, but that did not mean that she could let Yuna think that she was an easy target.
Yuna's face suddenly darkened. "Legally wedded wife? Is that the high horse you're riding on?" "It's not my high horse, it's Tobias'," Natalie continued. "But I just remembered that you probably don't likebeing his legally wedded wife, Miss Sherman. After all, my existence blocks the path you'd like to take with your unrequited love towards my husband." Yuna was silent.
Everything she'd said earlier was to infuriate Natalie, but she hadn't expected it to backfire on her.
Natalie continued, "I have to say, you were very touching earlier, Miss Sherman. Unfortunately, you didn't manage to move my husband and I." Natalie shrugged. "I'm sure you know how outstanding my husband is, Miss Sherman. There are plenty of women out there who, like yourself, have a crush on husband, so we've already gotten used to it. Your words don't mean a thing to us." Yuna's expression grew increasingly nasty, her face twitching.
Natalie smiled. "Miss Sherman, you're right. The weather certainly is getting colder. I'm going back. If you like the cold wind, do enjoy yourself. I'll be leaving first." After that, Natalie directly walked away without acknowledging Yuna in the slightest.
The corners of her lips curved slightly as she turned around.
Yuna had called her over in a deliberate attempt to infuriate her, but she was probably the one feeling revolted.
It was good to let Yuna know that she wasn't such a pushover.
Natalie walked back into the living room.
Cecilia and Selina were sitting on the sofa, with sfruit and pastries on the coffee table.
Selina invited Natalie to cand have a seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie then settled in next to Cecilia.
"Natalie, where's the fun in taking a walk alone? You should've stayed with us for a chat," said Selina.
Natalie smiled. "It's true, there's no fun in walking alone. That's why I cback." She took a mini muffin and took a bite.
It was invigoratingly sweet.
Meanwhile, Cecilia said, "Natalie, you and Tobias are going to have to stay here a little longer you be alright with that?" Natalie chewed the pastry in her mouth, slowly savoring the taste.
"Yes, I will. Don't worry, Auntie." How could she not be alright when Tobias was here? Her only worry was that Peter would still not accept her after half a month had passed.
Based on their current progress, that seemed to be very likely the case.
Natalie had no choice but to go with the flow.
Like Tobias had said, if Peter still did not like her after a week's time, thèn there was nothing else they could do. After all, she had at least tried.
Despite the fact that the result of her efforts were not exactly satisfactory.
Hearing Natalie say that, Cecilia nodded. "It was Peter's idea for you to stay here for half month. Not to mention, Tobias's father will be back in two weeks too. It'll be a good chance for him to meet you." X
