Benjamin glanced at her ruefully, his cheeks reddening. "Miss... Miss Godfrey." "What's wrong?" Natalie asked, a little confused.
She was the one who was supposed to be blushing, not him! "Miss... Miss Godfrey, since you're not living with Miss Simpson anymore," he stammered and paused. "Is she living alone in your old apartment?" "Not anymore. She's been very busy lately. I bet she spends most of her tat the movie set." "Oh." He paused for a moment, his gaze flashing, but stopped himself again before looking back at Natalie, his lips parting yet he made no noise.
Natalie becmore intrigued. "What's the matter, Mr. Simpson?" Benjamin still looked a little reluctant to speak.
"Mr. Simpson, if you won't talk, I'll be taking my leave now." If she was seen lingering out here with Benjamin like this, people might think they were having an affair.
Only then did he utter, "Miss Godfrey, I bought a box of chocolates on my business trip. Could you please help pass them to Miss Simpson for me?" With that, he fumbled out a beautifully decorated box and stuffed it into Natalie's hands.
Even in all her denseness, Natalie knew what this box of chocolates meant.
She shot Benjamin a knowing glance.
When she was about to ask him about his feelings for Yvonne, he suddenly added, "Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock specifically toldto remind you about what you two discussed at noon. He expects you to make preparations for tonight." The question for Benjamin suddenly got stuck in her throat, her eyes popping wide.
What they had discussed at noon.
Tobias didn't really take it seriously, did he? She felt the heat of a blush on her cheeks.
All of a sudden, she lost all interest to ask Benjamin about his feelings for Yvonne.
Hurriedly bidding him goodbye, Natalie fled in embarrassment.
Since Selina was home, dinner at the Whitlock family was as lively as usual.
Selina and Hayden bickered with each other, their interesting arguments lightening the mood.
While Natalie watched them bicker, she stared at Selina with a conflicted look in her eyes.
Was the sweet and bubbly girl sitting across her really the sgirl who had sobbed her heart out last night? When the two of them stopped their squabbling, Natalie placed her hand on Selina's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Selina, do you feel better now?" Selina's body straightened in response. She knew what Natalie meant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe patted Natalie's hand and nodded. "I'm fine now. It's just a stupid man. I can live perfectly fine without one." Hayden did not notice Natalie whispering earlier.
But he heard Selina's reply loud and clear.
He replied childishly, "Of course, you can live without a man, but can you stand it?" Selina gasped, hitting the boy's head with a spoon. "Little Carrot! You naughty kid. You sure think you're beyond your years, huh?" "You are the childish one." He stuck out his tongue.
Selina was defeated by his response.
She let out an exaggerated sigh. "Today is a good day, don't you think? It's tto introduce you to my classmate's ugly daughter. I'll invite her over so that everyone can meet her. Especially you, Hayden." Hayden jumped from his seat immediately and hugged Selina, pleading, "Today's not a good day, Auntie. It's not a good day at all!" Natalie cracked up, cackling in amusement at the scene.
Later, at around eight in the evening, her phone screen lit up with a notification.
It was a text from Tobias.
"I'm on the way home." Natalie's eyelid twitched.
Why did he have to tell her he was on the way home? Was he hinting at something? Her phone lit up again, showing another text.

She had goosebumps after reading his message.
Why did she suddenly feel like a dish waiting to be plated and served? Her fingers trembled a little as she typed her reply.
"What do you mean by that?" His reply was instant.
"What do you think?" "I don't know." She decided to play dumb.
This time, it took him about a minute to reply to her text.
"A man can't hold it in for too long, Natalie. You wouldn't want to deny yourself of the pleasures of life, would you?" Natalie was at a loss for words.
She thought for a while and began tapping on the phone.
"You have great potential, Mr. Whitlock. You'll do just fine." Another text arrived about 30 seconds later.
"What do you think we're doing now?" She raised an eyebrow and stared at his reply.
"I don't know." "It looks like we're flirting." Her breath stalled.
Flirting? Before she could think of a reply, the next text popped up.
"If you want to flirt with me, do it when I'm home.
Wait for me." Natalie clutched the phone in her hand, her palm burning up.
She had a feeling that Tobias really meant what he said this time.
She was about to pop her cherry tonight.
Her heart thudded in her chest so loudly that she could hear it in her ears.
An entirely new feeling surged inside her - the fear of the unknown and an inexplicable anticipation.
Her palm was slick with sweat.
Natalie suddenly lost her ability to think. She needed someone to talk to.
She scrolled through her contacts and called Yvonne.
Fortunately, Yvonne answered the phone in an instant.
"It's been so long since we talked, Natalie! I miss you so much. I've been busy. I'll ask you out for dinner once I'm free." Although her tone was warm, there was a hint of fatigue in her voice. Natalie swallowed and said, "Yvonne, I'm calling to ask you something." "Go on." "I think...I think Tobias is really going to do it this time," she said weakly.
Yvonne paused for a few seconds before she finally understood what Natalie was talking about. "Wait, are you saying you haven't slept with him yet?" Natalie was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEarlier, Benjamin was like that, and now Yvonne too.
Did everyone just assthat she already slept with Tobias ages ago? She felt like weeping, her stomach in knots.
"Of course not! We haven't done anything." Natalie's words trailed off a little guiltily.
In fact, they had already done the seeing and touching.
"Do you feel repelled by him?" Yvonne asked.
Natalie's tightened her grip on the phone. "I don't think so." "What's there to worry about then?" "I'm nervous. It's my first time," she stammered.
Yvonne burst out a snort.
Natalie was confused. "What are you laughing at?" What was so funny about it? Wasn't it common for everyone to feel nervous during their first time? Yvonne didn't know how to answer her.
This was definitely not Natalie's first. Plus, she was already a mother.
However, she couldn't exactly tell her this.
Yvonne could only go along with her, coaxing her as she spoke, "It's normal to o feel nervous. Don't be afraid, Natalie." "So, you're supportive of him popping my cherry." "That depends on you. I don't have a say in your personal matters, but I wish you the best." There was a short pause.
"Alright, I understand." Natalie seemed to have made up her mind.
"No matter what your decision is, I just want you to be happy," Yvonne said.
Yvonne did not intend to meddle in their matters, nor couldsḥejudge who was right and who was wrong.

When they were about to end the call, Natalie suddenly thought of something.
