Chapter 162
"Well-ordered lifestyle?" Selina smirked disdainfully, "He's dating a schoolgirl. She even looks younger than me. He's destroying a young girl's future. How could he do such a thing? What an animal!"
"Oh, no, no," Selina said, changing her words. "He's worse than an animal!"
Aunt Lee was stunned for a long time before she realized what Selina was implying.
She hurriedly defended Tobias, "Miss, you've misunderstood. Natalie is Mr. Whitlock's wife, not some girl he dates for fun."
"Wife?" Selina's eyes widened and she was dumbfounded.
Life was full of coincidences. When Yvonne and Sebastian were eating barbecue and drinking beer at a street food stall, they happened to see Natalie.
Sebastian was usually the type who preferred to stay home and study. He rarely ventured out to a place like this. It was Yvonne who dragged him along.
The last time they went out, Yvonne purposefully made Sebastian drunk. While he was drunk, she asked him if he had a crush on Natalie.
This time, Yvonne had an ulterior motive as well.
She hoped to make him drunk again so that he could formally confess his love to Natalie. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Sebastian had told her that he had hinted to Natalie about his feelings for her.
However, Yvonne felt that Natalie didn't understand his message at all.
That was why Yvonne wanted Sebastian to plan a formal confession, for Natalie to receive his feelings.
Just as Yvonne was thinking about how to get Sebastian to drink more, she suddenly saw Natalie.
Natalie appeared on the street, wandering around in a trance.
She looked as if she had just won the lottery, then lost it immediately after.
"Natalie, Natalie!" Yvonne waved to her desperately.
Sebastian's face turned a little red when he saw Natalie.
Natalie heard someone calling her, thus she looked up and saw Yvonne and Sebastian.
The excitement on Yvonne's face was in stark contrast with her own sadness.
Natalie walked over.
Yvonne pulled Natalie down, "What a coincidence!
Come join us for some food and beer."
After saying that, Yvonne gave Sebastian a wink, "We'd love for you to join us. Isn't that right, Sebastian?"
Sebastian's face flushed redder. He did not dare to meet Natalie's eyes, and he kept his head low.
But how could Natalie notice anything going on with
Sebastian?
When she heard Yvonne mentioning there was beer, her gaze immediately fell on the bottles of beer on the table.
"Let's drink up," she picked up a bottle and poured the beer straight down her throat.
Her throat immediately burned, and her expression became more and more bitter.
She recalled the girl she met at the Whitlock family's apartment.
She was so beautiful and lovely. Was she Tobias' exgirlfriend?
Earlier, she had still been fantasizing about her and Tobias, and now his ex- girlfriend had shown up. What a joke.
Meanwhile, Yvonne gawked at Natalie as she gulped down the entire bottle of beer.
"Natalie, I'm only asking you to drink, not to get drunk," she said weakly.
Natalie ignored her and downed another bottle of beer.
Sebastian watched her anxiously from the side.
He had known Natalie for so long, but he had never seen her like this.
"Natalie, stop drinking. You're not going to be able to take it." Sebastian tried to take the third bottle of beer away from Natalie's hands.
"Don't touch my beer!" Natalie hit his hand. By this time, her face was already a little flushed.
Yvonne rolled her eyes.
Perhaps with Natalie drunk, it could be an opportunity for Sebastian.
She leaned over to Sebastian and whispered, "Sebastian, this could be an opportunity for you. Maybe you'll have a better chance if she's drunk."
Sebastian's face turned red, but his eyes were clear. "Yvonne, I am a gentleman. I would never take advantage of Natalie like that!"
Yvonne's mouth twitched and she said nothing.
The problem was that Sebastian was too righteous. Natalie didn't even know his feelings even though he had a crush on her for such a long time.
He was her good friend, hence he was in a good position to pursue her, but he did nothing. Yvonne was really worried for Sebastian.
Sebastian couldn't get Natalie to stop drinking at all. Natalie continued downing bottle after bottle without rest.
Eventually, it got so bad that even Yvonne couldn't take it anymore.
She and Sebastian worked together to grab the bottle out of Natalie's hands, then cleared the table of all the remaining beer bottles.
Seeing that there was no more beer left, Natalie was at a loss.
She lay her head down on the greasy dining table, her eyes unfocused.
"Tobias, Tobias, Tobias," she murmured.
Yvonne could hear that Natalie was murmuring something. She put her ear closer and heard her calling Tobias' name over and over again.
Yvonne's expression changed.
"What's wrong with Natalie?" Sebastian asked worriedly.
Yvonne raised her head and took a deep look at Sebastian, "She's fantasizing about Tobias again."
Sebastian's expression changed.
After a while, an anxious look flashed across his eyes. "What... What should we do?"
Yvonne leaned into Natalie's ear again and whispered softly, "Natalie, I hate to tell you this, but Tobias is someone that people like us could never even dream about. I think he's really handsome too, but I'm not obsessing over him like you are. Dreams are always beautiful, but the reality is harsh."
Dreams were beautiful, but the reality was harsh!
The last sentence struck Natalie's mind.
Was it just a beautiful dream about her and Tobias? Just a beautiful dream that she fantasized about...
But now, she was woken up from that dream.
She would always be a plain average girl, whereas Tobias was the mighty president of an empire.
They were never supposed to intertwine into each other's worlds. It was all just a beautiful dream.
Natalie felt a splitting headache.
Yvonne uttered, "Natalie, your obsession has got to stop. It's even starting to affect your daily life now." Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, "Why don't Sebastian and I take you to a psychiatrist tomorrow? What do you think?"
Yvonne wasn't making fun of Natalie; she honestly thought that Natalie needed to see a professional about her obsession. If this continued, she was going to go crazy.
In Yvonne's hometown, she knew of this woman who met the chief while receiving some random award. However, the meeting led to her being mesmerized by his good looks. She even went around telling everyone that she was the chief’s wife. Eventually, she descended into insanity.
Yvonne was really afraid that Natalie would follow in that woman's footsteps.
Natalie's head ached even more because of Yvonne's words, and she felt an endless bitterness in her heart.
Everyone thought that she and Tobias were not a good match, to the point where they thought that the mere idea of it constituted her going insane.
How pathetic and ridiculous.
