She didn't expect that her "mother-in-law" was also a foodie who had come to hunt for delicious food.
Her first impression of Cecilia was that she was beautiful and noble, so Natalie always felt a gaping distance between them. However, when she heard Cecilia's words, she instantly felt that Cecilia was very approachable. She was down-to-earth.
As foodies, they shared many common topics.
Natalie immediately began to hash over delicious food with Cecilia eagerly.
Of course, Natalie had never been to any good restaurants. The places she mentioned were generally simple street food.
"Mom, I'm telling you, the spicy hot plate sold on Cross Street is extremely delicious. First, they stir-fry vegetables and meat, and then they put them on the iron plate to mix with chili. The taste is out of this world."
While she was describing it, Natalie almost drooled.
She swallowed her saliva as she was swept over by embarrassment.
Cecilia smiled while looking at Natalie. "Do you want to eat that with me?"
Hearing this, Natalie jumped up in excitement.
Cecilia brought Natalie in her car, and they departed. When they arrived at the place, Natalie suddenly felt that something was off. She was too excited earlier on, so she never thought about this. She suddenly realized that Cecelia, who had a classy aura, looked out of place when standing next to this shabby little cart.
Would Cecilia dislike this place?
"Mom, why don't we go to another restaurant?" Natalie felt a little flustered.
"It's okay. Let's eat since we are here. Can you order for me? I don't know what's delicious here," Cecilia replied.
Natalie could only bite the bullet and ordered the food for them. It was nothing more than just telling the cart owner to fry the vegetables or meat, which were strung together with bamboo.
Natalie and the owner were old acquaintances. After all, Natalie was a regular customer.
Since the food here was easy on the pocketbook, Natalie would come here to eat every time she received her salary.
"Natalie, it seems like you've befriended an esteemed person." The owner of the stall whispered to Natalie while stealing glances at Cecilia with a nondescript expression.
He was able to recognize the car Cecilia was driving. It was a very fancy car!
"That's my mother- in- law," Natalie replied subconsciously.
The owner's mouth was hanging wide open and his face was full of disbelief.
Natalie suddenly wanted to kick herself. Well, even if she told the truth, no one would believe her.
"I lied," Natalie said again.
Only after hearing that, the owner was able to regain his composure.
He knew that Natalie must be lying. Although this little girl was pretty, from the frugal way she always ordered the cheapest food which was less than ten dollars every time she came here, how could it be possible that she could marry into a wealthy family?
Of course, it was impossible!
The owner thought that Natalie must have become a nanny for that affluent person.
This time, Natalie was very generous. She had ordered many dishes, and they were all expensive.
The owner thought, "She's different now after becoming a nanny for a rich person, seeing that she is being so generous."
Soon, the owner completed her order. There was a small greasy table next to the little cart with a few plastic stools surrounding the table.
At first, Natalie was still very uneasy. However, Cecilia was very easy-going as she immediately sat on the plastic stool.
"Natalie, it's heavenly." Cecilia tasted it and found that it was indeed delicious.
Natalie immediately brightened up. Her "mother-in-law" was really easy-going. She was really down-to-earth!
Just as she was thinking about this, her phone suddenly rang. Natalie cast a glance at the screen of the phone and found that it was Tobias calling her.
