Chapter 175
She felt that time flew by pretty quickly. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Tobias glanced at the Patek Phillipe watch on his wrist, "It's already six o'clock."
Natalie's eyes widened. It was already six o'clock?
She barely even noticed the time pass by.
She touched her head, "So fast? It felt like half an hour to me."
A smile appeared in Tobias' eyes. "That's because you were busy staring at me. Of course, time passed quickly for you."
Natalie's face flushed red immediately.
She had been secretly staring at Tobias, but she didn't know that he had realized it.
"You should just blatantly stare at me the next time. I'm your husband. You don't need to be secretive with me," Tobias' gaze became deeper.
Natalie was at a loss for words.
"Even though you're only my husband on paper?" She whispered.
Tobias suddenly put his arm around her waist and said, "Natalie, do you want me to officiate the title between us, so that you won't bring up the agreement anymore?"
Natalie felt the heat from his palm on her waist spreading throughout her body.
Her eyelashes trembled lightly like a falling butterfly, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Did Tobias mean that they were more than just an arranged-marriage couple?
Could it be that he wanted to be husband and wife, bonded by love?
However, his words were a little ambiguous.
As she was immersed in her thoughts, Tobias let go of her waist, and Natalie felt a vague sense of emptiness.
"Let's go," he said.
Natalie was pondering some words she had to say along the journey home.
She wanted to ask Tobias if their relationship was more than just an arranged marriage and if he wanted to have a real husband and wife relationship with her. Did Tobias have feelings for her?
It was not because she was narcissistic, but Tobias had obviously expressed his feelings for her more than once. That's why she was wondering.
However, every time she wanted to speak, she couldn't find the strength to utter those words.
She didn't have the courage to ask.
If she was her old self, she would have asked by now.
"Tobias, are you secretly in love with me? Have you been intoxicated by my beauty? Hahaha," she would say.
But now, Natalie just couldn't seem to speak her mind.
Because she cared for him, and she had too much to lose.
Perhaps it was better this way. At least she could hold on to her beautiful hopes and dreams.
What if they laid everything out on the table, and the answer wasn't what she expected? Natalie would have no idea what to do then.
They returned to the Whitlock family's apartment, and Selina was not at home.
Aunt Lee had already prepared a meal. After Natalie and Tobias had dinner, Tobias asked her to go back to the bedroom.
Natalie suddenly became nervous.
Why did Tobias want her to go to the bedroom? Did he want to do something to her?
An image of her and Tobias in bed appeared in her mind.
Natalie was exceptional at imagining scenes that did not happen in her head.
Every time Tobias said something, the image would instantly pop into her mind.
For example, all Tobias said was to go back to the bedroom, but Natalie had already imagined the two of them being intimate and moaning in bed.
Sometimes, she really felt that she had such a dirty mind.
Seeing that Natalie's face was red again and she was blinking rapidly, Tobias knew instantly what she was thinking.
He said in a cool tone, "Don't overthink it. I'm just helping you to apply medicine to your wound."
Natalie's breathing came to a halt.
She didn't expect Tobias to see through her.
However, she was a girl after all, and she had some dignity. She wanted to save face.
She braced herself, "I wasn't thinking of anything!"
"Are you sure?" Tobias said with a smirk in his eyes.
"I'm sure!" Natalie said loudly.
Tobias merely smiled.
"Were you not fantasizing about me and you in bed, huh?" His voice was low and hoarse.
Natalie was taken aback.
God, how did Tobias read her mind?
She stammered subconsciously, "How did you know?"
The smile in Tobias' eyes deepened. "So, I'm right?"
Natalie's face immediately turned bright red.
"I flipped through a few pages of your novel on the couch." Tobias went on, "It seems like it's filled with dirty stories, thus I knew your mind would be full of these things."
Natalie was completely embarrassed.
She thought of the romance novel she had left on the couch.
At that time, she was reading it, but Selina snatched it away and tossed it onto the couch.
She didn't know that Tobias would chance upon it! It should be noted that that particular novel was a little raunchy. The male lead in the book was always saying stuff like "Vixen, you're so sexy, I must have you now."
Natalie was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
Tobias added, "I finally know why you love reading romance novels. You enjoy reading all the dirty details, huh?"
Natalie was speechless.
She argued, "That's not true at all. It's because the storyline is every girl's dream."
"Dream?" Tobias fixed his gaze on Natalie. "Are you fantasizing about your s*x life? I'm here. You don't have to dream about it. We can make it a reality."
Natalie went silent.
The president in front of her always loved to tease her with such shameless words, making her shy.
"Go to the bedroom. I need to reapply your medicine," Tobias changed the topic.
Natalie gritted her teeth and followed him upstairs.
It was a very awkward scene. Natalie laid chest down on the bed with her hips exposed to Tobias so that he could reapply her medicine.
She buried her head in a pillow to cover up her embarrassment.
The medicine he used was indeed miraculous. The scars on her hips had healed rapidly, and her skin was getting more evened out.
Facing such an enticing position by Natalie, Tobias had no immodest thoughts in his heart.
He remembered what Simon had told him.
What was the connection between the scars on Natalie's hips and her sealed memories?
His brows furrowed tightly for a long time.
"Bang!"
The door of the bedroom suddenly swung open, and Selina's voice rang out in the large room.
"Natalie, today I went to this really good snack bar, and I brought some back..."
All of a sudden, Selina's voice halted.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to disturb you!" She immediately ran out of the bedroom with her face flushed.
"Bang!"
The door of Natalie's bedroom was slammed shut again.
Natalie was going to pass out.
Why did Selina have to come in while Tobias was applying medicine on her?
Selina wouldn't have any misunderstandings, would she?
"Tobias, will your sister misunderstand what we are doing?" Natalie couldn't help but ask.
Tobias was still reapplying her medicine, and he seemed to be unfazed by Selina's comings and goings.
Then, he said something that made Natalie extremely red-faced.
