There was a dark gleam in Lucy's eyes.
She figured Natalie was not a simple woman to be around this long. Her greed must know no bounds.
Lucy walked over and said, "Hello, Miss Godfrey." Her smile was polite and reserved.
Natalie felt a touch of radiance as soon as the woman walked towards her.
Standing by the woman's side, she suddenly felt herself so unremarkable that she could blend in with the dust on the ground.
In fact, there were many women who were prettier and more outstanding than Natalie, but she had never felt inferior when she was around them.
But with this woman, it was different. In the five minutes since meeting her, Natalie already felt lesser as an individual.
Could it be because this person was Hayden's mother? And Tobias's ex-wife? Natalie suddenly felt as if there was a huge sticky lump stuck inside her, congesting her heart.
She forced a smile and greeted Lucy, "Nice to meet you." "Miss Godfrey, why are you in Tobias's house?" Lucy asked.
All of a sudden, Natalie felt like hiding.
Her voice was as tiny as a mosquito's, "I was hired by Mr. Whitlock to take care of Hayden." Lucy remained calm and collected, but the cogs in her mind were spinning.
There were so many servants in the Whitlock household, why did he have to hire Remington's girlfriend to be a nanny? Lucy was certain that Natalie was not as simple as she seemed.
She glanced at her son, "Hayden, go to the playroom. Miss Godfrey and I have something to talk about." "She's not Miss Godfrey, she's my ste-" Hayden wanted to tell Lucy that Natalie was his future stepmother, but Lucy interrupted him.
"Be a good boy, go and play." she shooed.
Hayden supposed he could tell her later.
He scampered out of the room.
Lucy smiled gracefully at Natalie and said, "Miss Godfrey, please, have a seat." "I'll just stand here," Natalie said in a muted voice.
Lucy nodded slightly, "Miss Godfrey, how did you end up coming here to take care of Hayden?" Lucy was Hayden's mother, so it made sense for her to ask such questions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I was hired by Mr. Whitlock." Natalie answered honestly.
Lucy's eyes sparkled.
Tobias had been single for so long, it was only natural that he would find someone.
However, that someone should not be Natalie.
This woman was Remington's girlfriend, and now here she was entangling herself with Tobias. How could such a dishonorable woman be the lady of the Whitlock family? Lucy was somewhat puzzled.
How could a smart man like Tobias not figure this out? How unbelievable it was of him to even let Natalie into the Whitlock family.
Lucy began to speak, "Miss Godfrey, a man as excellent as Tobias who happened to be single would attract the attention of many girls, don't you think so?" Natalie did not know how to answer.
"Yes," she answered vaguely.
Lucy smiled, "But it's a pity that these girls can only daydream. Because there's a woman in Tobias's heart that he can never forget. Other than her, no other woman can ever capture his heart. Do you understand?" Natalie could feel her heart was being struck head on by a blunt axe.
She struggled to look at Lucy, a woman so beautiful and elegant sitting before her.
Could Lucy be referring to herself? Even though she was no longer with Tobias, could Tobias not forget about her? An unexplainable bitterness spread through Natalie's heart.
It was no wonder too. How could anyone forget such a gorgeous and graceful woman? "Miss Godfrey, you-" Lucy was interrupted by Natalie before she could finish.
"Sorry, I don't feel too well. I'm going out for a walk." Lucy gave her a lovely smile, "All right." Natalie walked out of the Whitlock family's villa in a daze.
She had always gone around in Tobias's car or the Whitlock family's car, but this time, she decided to walk.
After walking for a long time, Natalie finally arrived downtown.
Although she had walked for so long, Natalie did not feel tired at all.
Her mind was in a messier state than it usually was.
Spotting a coffee shop from afar, Natalie went in and sat down.
She ordered herself the largest cup of hot chocolate.
Natalie took in a strong sniff of the drink's sweet aroma, then took a big gulp.
What was she thinking? There was nothing between her and the big boss.
He had told her that he liked her, but perhaps he was joking.
She was just an employee; an employee being exploited by him. Search the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"Yes, that must be it," Natalie said to herself.
By the tshe finished drinking the whole cup of hot chocolate, it was already late.
She suddenly received a call from Hayden.
"Natalie, where have you been? Why aren't you hfor dinner yet? I still want you to watch Ultraman withand accompanyto sleep." Hayden's innocent voice cthrough the phone.
Natalie set the empty cup down, "Oh, yes, okay." When she got back, she had dinner with Hayden.
She did not know if it was just her, but that night's dinner was not as tasteful as it usually was.
She did not eat as much as she usually did either.
Halfway through the meal, Natalie could not stop herself from asking, "Hayden, where's your mom?" Ever since she returned from the coffee shop, she did not see that beautiful, elegant woman.
"She flew back to the United States. She has a lot of things to do, she's a busy person," Hayden stated proudly.
"Oh." Natalie took a bite of the food.
"Natalie, isn't my mom beautiful?" Hayden asked, suddenly leaning towards her.
Natalie's breath caught in her throat.
A moment later, she forced a grin and agreed, "She is." She was such a noble and dazzling woman. Needless to say, Lucy was much more beautiful than Natalie was.
Hayden's beam was so huge that it could almost split his face in two.
Watching Hayden grin so contentedly, Natalie felt an inexplicable sense of sourness rising inside her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt night, she accompanied Hayden to bed.
Not long after Hayden fell asleep, Natalie turned her phone on.
Hayden had told Natalie his mother's name.
She had a strange urge to search her up.
She figured that Tobias's wife must not be an ordinary person, and that she should be easy to find on the web. Indeed, as soon as she typed in Lucy's name, plenty of information appeared.
The daughter of a magnate, with herworth at a hundred billion dollars and so forth.
Natalie turned her phone off.
That woman checked all the boxes. She was perfect.
Acrid thoughts surfaced in her mind.
Natalie tossed over. What was she thinking? What did that woman's excellence have to do with her? She was just a nanny working for the Whitlock family, just an employee of Tobias's.
With those thoughts in her mind, she drifted off to sleep.
Once again, she dreamt of Tobias.
In her dream, Tobias stood in the middle. She stood to his left, while Lucy stood to his right.
Tobias said to them with a smile, "Now, you guys cand pulbme! Whoever pullsover first, I'll be ΕΠ yours." Her veins surged with excitement.
As long as she got to tug the big boss over to her side, he would be hers! She immediately pulled on Tobias's arm with all her strength, trying her best to lull him over.
Natalie tugged and tugged until she woke up with a gasp.
By the tshe opened her eyes, the sky was already beginning to turn bright - a sign of early dawn.
It turned out she was really pulling on something -the blanket.
She shared a blanket with Hayden, and at that moment, the blanket was wrapped fully around her body, oment, leaving Hayden's tiny body exposed. Natalie started to feel feverish anxiety creeping upon her.
