Tobias avoided her gaze and replied, "Natalie, I don't think you are the right woman for me."
"Why not? I think we are very compatible, aren’ t we?" She said with widened eyes.
They had clicked so well when they were together.
"Natalie, you can't even read the French on the menu. Do you think you are the right woman for me? You can't even use the knives and forks properly now. Do you think you are suitable to be with me?"
Natalie was at a loss.
Tobias knew all along that she couldn't use knives and forks well, and her French had always been bad.
However, she thought that he did not mind at all.
Why did he suddenly care about it now?
He suddenly stood up and said, "Natalie, I need a woman who can match me, and that is definitely not you. Let’s break up. I need to get back to the company. You can ask the driver to come and pick you up."
After saying that, he left without any hesitation.
Her mind went blank.
She sat in her seat, completely lost.
She only gradually came to her senses after a long while.
Tobias wanted to break up with her.
He said that her French was poor. He said that she couldn't even use knives and forks properly. He said that she was not good enough for him.
He said that he wanted to find a woman who could match him.
She had finally straightened it out.
However, how could it be possible? She did not believe it. She could not believe a single word he said.
Although he was behaving abnormally recently, and even said something like that, she still did not believe it.
This man had doted on her and loved her so much. When she was at her most desperate moment, it was this man who had saved her. He even said that he would accompany her for the rest of her life.
She had even told herself that if her life was a joke, then he would be the only truth in this joke.
Why would such a man break up with her ?
She did not believe it. She did not believe a single word of it.
She stood up in a daze.
She wondered whether she was dreaming. Perhaps, she was just in a dream.
She slapped herself hard across her face.
Palm prints immediately appeared on her delicate face, which was red and swollen.
It was so painful.
This was not a dream.
Then what the hell was going on?
Natalie walked out of the restaurant.
She did not call the driver to come and pick her up. Instead, she took the bus back home.
She thought that she must be confused, and she must clear her mind by getting a good sleep.
Selina immediately rushed over to her the moment she arrived at the Whitlock family's apartment.
"Natalie, you're pregnant with a boy," Selina yelled.
Natalie was surprised.
"A boy?" She touched her belly and asked, "How do you know that?"
With a joyous smile, she said, "Natalie, you really believe me? I'm lying to you."
Selina laughed while covering her stomach and said, "Natalie, don't you know that today is April Fools' Day?"
April Fools' Day?
Upon hearing that, Natalie felt a sense of relief.
After a moment, she suddenly laughed. She laughed so hard that tears were about to stream down her cheeks.
"April Fools' Day? It's actually April Fools' Day!"
No wonder Tobias wanted to break up with her. It turned out that it was an April Fools' Day prank.
If not, why would he break up with her?"
Selina felt perplexed when she saw Natalie's expression.
She seemed very happy, but also very sad.
She was laughing, but tears were flowing down her cheeks.
"Natalie, are you alright? I was just joking with you," Selina asked. She was feeling a little startled by her reaction.
