It was because Natalie was a complete foodie.
In this world, there were not many women who could finish three plates of pasta in one sitting.
Her brother loved this unique woman!
After their meal, Selina and Natalie did not have the mood to shop again since they had been doing so the whole afternoon. The three of them returned to the Whitlock family apartment.
After a short break, Selina went to take a bath and get ready for bed. Natalie was exhausted as well and she wanted to follow suit.
She went to the bathroom upstairs.
Selina was using the bathroom downstairs, thus she had to use the upstairs bathroom instead.
As she was walking to the bathroom with her pajamas, Selina, who was supposed to be showering downstairs, suddenly rushed over to her.
She handed a bag to Natalie, then snatched the pajamas from Natalie's hand.
"Natalie, wear the one I bought for you. We agreed, remember?" Selina smiled sweetly at her.
Natalie could do nothing about it.
Anyway, all pajamas generally looked the same, thus she didn't mind.
However, after her shower, she picked up the pajamas that Selina had bought from the bag and got a huge shock.
This was not any ordinary pajamas set; it was a lingerie nightgown.
The tulle-like material was basically transparent. She might as well not wear any clothes at all. Every inch of her body could be seen clearly.
Looking at the skimpy nightgown, Natalie's face flushed from head to toe.
How could she wear this? It was too revealing.
However, she had no choice, as this was the only article of clothing she had with her in the bathroom.
In the end, Natalie gritted her teeth and put it on.
She decided to rush into her bedroom and change.
She put on the night gown and snuck out of the bathroom.
The Whitlock family's apartment was spacious, and there was a long corridor from the bathroom to the bedroom.
Halfway through, Natalie stopped in her tracks, dumbfounded.
She saw Tobias.
And Tobias saw her.
When he saw the lingerie she was wearing, there was a flash of shock in his eyes, then the astonishment turned into an unexplainable gaze.
When they looked into each other's eyes, the atmosphere turned weird.
Natalie wanted to bury herself in the ground.
How extremely humiliating.
Why did she run into Tobias while she was wearing this skimpy lingerie?
Why was God playing jokes on her?
Natalie gritted her teeth and thought that she might as well pretend nothing had happened. She planned to walk past Tobias and quickly change out of the lingerie.
Didn't Selina say she must be more brazen around Tobias? Well, she might as well start practicing now.
Natalie lowered her head and pretended that she did not see Tobias' burning gaze. She planned to get past Tobias quickly and then flee to her bedroom. However, she was too nervous and ran too fast. When she approached Tobias, she suddenly slipped and flew straight into his arms.
Tobias was completely unprepared. Being tackled by Natalie, he fell to the ground with Natalie firmly pressed on top of him.
Their faces were very close to each other, and the tip of their noses brushed together.
