Chapter 168
Natalie's lips couldn't help but curl up.
Yes, Tobias said that she was his wife, thus she could sit as she pleased.
Although she didn't know if Tobias was merely referring to her as his wife on paper, the fact that he put her in a position that was different from others, made her overjoyed.
Natalie was delighted, but Selina was not.
However, she was a cheerful person. Even if she was unhappy, Selina soon got over it. After a while, she sat next to Natalie and began to chatter away again.
After the meal, Tobias suddenly remembered something. He asked Natalie why her phone was always turned off.
Natalie then recalled that her phone had been broken when she was kidnapped by Qasim.
"It was smashed that time," Natalie answered vaguely to avoid being questioned by Selina.
"Let's buy a new one then," Tobias said lightly.
Selina was excited to hear that and she wanted to tag along.
The three of them went out of the Whitlock family's apartment and headed to an electronics store where Tobias had bought a phone for Natalie previously.
Along the way, Selina was extremely excited as she watched the scenery outside. She kept praising the city and its beauty along the way.
Natalie had never realized how beautiful the scenery was in this city. She couldn't help being influenced by Selina and started looking out the window as well.
As soon as she looked out, however, she was shocked.
She saw Sebastian and Yvonne.
They were holding a stack of thick A4 papers in their hands, sticking the paper onto the walls of buildings along the street.
"Stop the car," Natalie shouted subconsciously.
Tobias stopped the car and looked at Natalie.
Natalie laughed dryly, "Um, I saw my classmates. Let me just go down and see what's going on."
Selina looked through the window and smirked. "Natalie, those two idiots who are sticking flyers on the walls are your classmates?"
Natalie was speechless.
Well, Yvonne and Sebastian looked really funny to be sticking such thick papers onto the walls.
Tobias' expression was soft. "Do you want me to go with you?"
Natalie widened her eyes in shock.
Tobias offered to accompany her!
If Yvonne and Sebastian saw Tobias appearing in front of them with her, they would probably blackout from the shock.
After thinking about it, Natalie decided that she had a better decline.
'TH go by myself."
Tobias nodded and said nothing more.
Natalie got out of the car and quickly ran over to Sebastian and Yvonne.
When she got closer, she finally saw what was on the flyers Yvonne and Sebastian were putting up.
"A beautiful and innocent girl named Natalie has gotten lost. She is from Agaphen University and was last seen at a roadside barbecue stall. She was wearing a white dress. Her mental health is at risk, and if anyone has seen or heard anything, please call the number below. Thank you."
At the bottom of the A4 paper, there was a clear photo of Natalie. Yvonne and Sebastian's phone numbers were also written there.
Natalie almost fainted.
"Yvonne, Sebastian, what are you doing?" She raised her voice.
Sebastian and Yvonne didn't realize that Natalie was behind them until now, and they were stunned.
"Natalie, you didn't get lost!" Yvonne immediately hugged Natalie.
Sebastian was also relieved and subconsciously wanted to hug Natalie. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, then his face turned red.
"What are you talking about? I'm not a child." Natalie tore the flyer apart and said, "What's the problem with my mental state? What do you guys mean? My mental state is fine!"
Yvonne forced a dry smile.
She rubbed her head, "Well... urn..."
If it wasn't for the fact that Natalie was always obsessing over Tobias, Yvonne and Sebastian wouldn't think there was anything wrong with her either.
Natalie proceeded to tear off all the surrounding flyers that Yvonne and Sebastian had stuck up.
Inside the car, the air conditioner was on full blast.
Tobias watched Natalie in the distance. She was standing on her tiptoes and tearing off a piece of paper stuck to the wall. It looked like some sort of advertisement flyer.
The sun shone brightly on the sky, and the sunshine formed a soft halo around Natalie. Her high ponytail swished back and forth along with her movements.
Tobias' eyes grew darker.
Selina glanced at Tobias.
In her opinion, Natalie's behavior looked stupid. She was foolishly trying to tear off all the flyers on the wall, but her brother was looking at her with such infatuation in his eyes.
"Ahem."
Selina gave a heavy cough.
It was only then that Tobias' turned to look at her.
"What's the matter?" His tone was bland.
"Tobias, Natalie isn't some rich heiress, is she?” Selina asked.
Although she had not known Natalie for long, from the way Natalie dressed and her actions, she could tell that Natalie was nowhere near how a proper young lady should be.
"No."
Selina blinked, "Then how did you get to know her?"
"We met coincidentally by fate." Tobias kept his answers short and simple.
Selina rolled her eyes. She recalled the earlier scene of Tobias admiring Natalie through the car window.
The look in his eyes was different as if he were glimmering.
"Tobias, do you love Natalie?" Selina looked at Tobias and asked with a mischievous smile.
Tobias' breathing came to a halt.
The word "love" was too meaningful; it was still early for him and Natalie.
"I like her," Tobias said bluntly.
Selina batted her eyelashes, "Tobias, there are so many women who are lining up to be with you. There are those that are much prettier than her, and way more qualified than her. Why do you like Natalie?"
Although Selina quite admired Natalie, she did not understand why Tobias had married Natalie specifically.
No matter what, Natalie looked like the kind of girl you could pick up on any random street.
Tobias' gaze turned deep, like an endless well.
After a while, he parted his thin lips slightly and spoke. "Natalie is different from all the other girls I've known. She is like a weed that grows under the sun. Although she is plain and easily trampled
on by others, she still stands strong after each hardship. Even with nothing in her life, she chooses to live on courageously."
He paused for a while and said meaningfully, "Sometimes, it's hard to identify specifically what you like about another person."
Selina was deep in thoughts. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Just like the senior I liked before, right? Once he ate a whole bowl of pasta in one bite, and I thought that was amazing, so I started having a crush on him, haha." Selina laughed and said, "Tobias, I think Natalie is also excellent at eating. Were you also attracted by her amazing stomach? After all, not many women can eat as much as her."
Tobias didn't know what to say.
He rolled his eyes at Selina speechlessly and didn't say anything else.
Natalie finally finished tearing up all the flyers on the walls.
