Natalie was petrified.

The Whitlock family was just too straightforward.

But her kindness was too abrupt.

Natalie was not used to it.

Out of courtesy, she answered Cecilia's question patiently as she tried to hide her awkwardness.

Her eyes lit up, and she stared at him like her knight in shining armor.

She immediately sprang up from the sofa and leaped towards him. For the first time, she beamed her widest smile at Tobias, "You're back, Mr. Whitlock."
