"Mom will visit in a few days?" Natalie widened her eyes.
Selina nodded. "I told her about your pregnancy. She was so excited that she almost fainted when she heard."
Natalie could not help laughing.
She had been in a bad mood because she hadn't gotten an answer from Madison, but once she heard from Selina that Cecilia was visiting, she suddenly felt much better.
Cecilia had been looking forward to her getting pregnant.
Now that she was finally with child, Cecilia ought to be very happy, right?
Her mother- in- law's kindness towards her meant that one of Natalie's wishes had come true as well.
"Aren't you exaggerating things?" Natalie could not help but laugh.
Selina nodded desperately and said, "Natalie, I'm not exaggerating. It's true."
The corners of her mouth curled up even more upon hearing that.
Tobias came home in the evening.
He asked about Madison as soon as he stepped into the house.
Natalie shook her head in helplessness and answered, "She passed out when I asked her, so I sent her to the hospital. As a result, James came too."
The expression on Tobias's face changed slightly.
With Natalie's personality, she definitely wouldn't stop asking about it even if Madison was sent to the hospital, so the reason she didn't continue to ask must be due to James.
"Isn't your dad abroad? Why did he suddenly come back?" A dim light flashed in Tobias' eyes.
"He asked for a leave," Natalie replied calmly.
Tobias's eyes darkened.
James was just a mere employee who was in charge of a small region so there was no need for him to report to Tobias about taking leave of absences.
Although it was certainly inconvenient for James to ask for a leave during this time, since Tobias was the one who directly hired him, James' superior would definitely give him some leeway.
On the other end, Natalie was in a panic when she saw how silent Tobias was.
She looked nervously at him. "Tobias, you won't be angry because my father took leave, right? Can you overlook it this time? My father definitely didn't do it on purpose. Queenie must have exaggerated things."
Tobias burst into laughter.
He patted Natalie's head affectionately and said, "Natalie, you told me that your father was the only one who gave you warmth in your miserable childhood, right?"
She nodded her head gravely.
"So, based on that reason alone, I'm going to overlook it this time." Tobias' black eyes were as deep as the darkest depths of the sea.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Tobias."
"There is no need for such formalities between husband and wife. What's more..." His eyes fell on Natalie's stomach. "What's more, you're pregnant with my child."
She could not help touching her stomach lightly. "Why can't I feel anything at all though?"
"It's only been a month, of course you can't feel anything," he answered.
"How do you know that? You haven't had a baby before, have you?" She asked.
He was speechless.
Natalie's lips pulled into a crafty smile. She was only joking with him.
"Tobias, do you think the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl? Which do you prefer?" She asked expectantly.
He looked at her dotingly. "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."
"What if you have to choose one?" She asked again.
"Girl." Tobias' gaze was dark. "I'm sure that she will be as cute as you."
"That won't do." She retorted, "If she looks like me, then don't you think that's a waste of your good looks? She must look like you."
"Alright, she will be just like me," he said gently.
