Natalie grabbed Aunt Lee's hand and explained, "Aunt Lee, there's a misunderstanding. I just had my period, that's all."
As she spoke, she felt a little embarrassed and blushed.
Aunt Lee could not process Natalie's explanation.
Natalie was in the bathroom when Aunt Lee finally snapped back to her senses.
It turned out that Miss Godfrey was just on her period. Aunt Lee patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, Aunt Lee would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
However, Aunt Lee did not understand why Natalie would mistake her period for miscarriage.
Aunt Lee thought, "I'm old and senile. I don't even understand what's going on."
Natalie came out of the bathroom and changed into a new set of pajamas. She was refreshed and clean.
Aunt Lee made some hot chocolate when Natalie was in the shower.
When Natalie came out of the bathroom, Aunt Lee presented a cup of hot chocolate to her and said, "Here, some hot chocolate would help your period."
Previously, Natalie claimed that she tripped herself when Aunt Lee mistook Natalie's period for miscarriage. That girl had a heart of gold!
Aunt Lee liked Natalie more than ever after that.
Natalie did not want to turn down Aunt Lee's kindness, hence she drank the hot chocolate.
"Weren't you on a business trip? Why did you come back today?" Natalie took the initiative to speak to Tobias.
After all, she felt embarrassed after putting him through that fiasco earlier.
"I have some business to attend to," Tobias replied, "So I came back in advance."
Aunt Lee could not keep secrets. When Natalie told Aunt Lee that she was really pregnant in the morning, Aunt Lee wasted no time to notify Tobias.
Tobias tried calling Natalie's mobile phone but her phone was switched off.
He was worried, therefore he returned as soon as possible.
Tobias pondered a lot on the way home.
Natalie was pregnant, so what would lie ahead of them?
Naturally, there was no need to talk to Natalie about that anymore.
"I called you but why couldn't I get through?" Tobias asked.
"My phone disappeared." After finishing the hot chocolate, Aunt Lee fetched some dark chocolate for Natalie to eat. "Was it stolen?" Tobias asked.
"Are you kidding? Who would steal my stupid phone?" Natalie felt better after drinking the hot chocolate and eating some dark chocolate.
Her good mood intensified after she recalled that she was not pregnant in the first place, let alone having a miscarriage!
She was delighted!
"I'll buy one for you," Tobias offered.
"No, no." Natalie waved her hand and added, "That's too expensive."
"You don't have to be frugal with my money."
The corner of Natalie's lips twitched.
She was not a kind girl. The novels would always portray the hero as a wealthy president but the pure and good-natured heroine would always try to save money for him.
There was an old saying.
It was easy for anyone to fit in with a luxurious lifestyle. However, it would be difficult to return to a frugal lifestyle once accustomed to an expensive one.
Natalie did not know how long she could pretend to be Tobias' wife. If she spent without thinking, she was afraid that she would find it difficult to return to a frugal lifestyle when she was no longer with Tobias.
Natalie understood that she would need to face the music. She knew her place too.
"I'm not trying to help you save money. I'll go and look for it again. Maybe I'll find it tomorrow."
Tobias kept quiet in response.
"By the way, why didn't you wear the clothes I gave you today?" Tobias suddenly recalled that.
