At nine in the evening, Natalie finally returned home with a shopping bag.

She had gone to several men’s clothing shops, hoping to find the perfect outfit for Sebastian.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know his size. Therefore, she ended up buying a belt for him.

Sebastian put away the documents on the table and looked at Natalie. A frown lined his forehead as he realized she looked exhausted. “What happened? Why are you so late?”

He opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of soda.

“Well, I got caught up with something.” Natalie put the bag on the table and slumped on the sofa. “I’m thirsty. Grab me a bottle.”

After a moment’s thought, Sebastian frowned and pressed the soda bottle against her cheek. Then, he sat beside her. “No. Are you on your period?”

“Sebastian! How… how did you know that?” Natalie involuntary cupped her mouth with her palms and looked at him with wide eyes. She was both embarrassed and shocked.

It looked like the boundaries between them was getting thinner with every passing day.

Sebastian slung his arm around her shoulder and raised his chin toward the bathroom. “You’re very forgetful. You left the box of sanitary pads on the washbasin this morning. I’ve put them in the cabinet for you.”

Natalie didn’t know what to say. Sebastian tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and smiled. “Did someone taunt you? You came home looking upset.”

Natalie sighed and told him everything about what Elaine had done at the shopping mall.

“Why didn’t you call me? I would have taught her a lesson for bullying you.” Sebastian’s face darkened. He leaned closer and pinched her cheek.

Natalie slapped Sebastian’s hand away and nestled closer to him. “I could handle it myself!” she said, blinking at him. “Besides, there were surveillance cameras everywhere.”

Sebastian arched an eyebrow in reprimand. “Well, thankfully, there were surveillance cameras this time. What if there wasn’t any way to prove your innocence?”
