Back when the couple had a fight, only Lina and Natalie ate in the dining room.
Since the two of them couldn't possibly eat a lot, they usually ordered only a couple of dishes from the kitchen every time they dined in together. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Let alone nights when Lina was all by herself. She could settle her dinner with just one dish.
Hence, it had been a long time since she saw such an array of dishes on the dinner table. She was so stunned by the sight that she stumbled over words like a bumpkin.
Seeing the guilty look on Lina's face, Natalie couldn't help but laugh. “All right, I'm just teasing you. Of course we know that you didn't say it on purpose and that you mean nothing. I only teased you because it's fun to look at how scared you get. Let's eat.”
With that, Natalie picked up her chopsticks.
Shane directly picked up some food and put it on her plate. “Why bother explaining to her about it? Aren't you hungry? Eat up.”
Natalie looked at the food on the plate and nodded with a smile. “Okay.”
The couple began eating.
Across the table, Stanley gave Lina an amused glance before picking up his chopsticks and savoring his welcome feast properly.
When everyone else started to eat, Lina knew that the matter was over. After heaving a sigh of relief, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat as well.
She was so hungry.
Having spent the whole afternoon playing with Anders and returning to her room to design jewelry for a client afterward, she was completely exhausted.
Lina thought she should eat more to get back at Natalie and Shane for scaring her just now.
However, she knew deep down that no matter how much she ate, she couldn't really get back at them.
After all, the couple were wealthy people. There was no way she could ever exhaust their wealth in her lifetime by simply eating.
During the meal, Lina suddenly thought of something. Her eyes darted around and landed on Natalie and Shane. She opened her mouth to say something, but she seemed hesitant and didn't speak up.
Natalie noticed something was off about Lina. Pausing her chopsticks mid-air, she looked at Lina and asked, “Lina, what's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it.”
Hearing that, Lina put down her chopsticks. Chuckling, she said, “If you say so, Nat.”
“Mm-hmm.” Natalie nodded.
As Lina's laughter became increasingly lewd, Shane squinted his eyes at her.
What is this woman thinking?
Even Stanley, who had been silent all along, became interested. With a gossipy look on his face, he set down his chopsticks, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his chair.
Lina slightly clenched her fist and placed it below her lips before clearing her throat with a cough. Then, with a cheerful smile, she asked, “Nat, you and Mr. Thompson spent quite a while in the room this afternoon. Have you used my gift? Did you find it useful?”
She glanced at Natalie, then at Shane.
Stanley, who had been listening to the conversation quietly, nearly spat out a mouthful of water.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Lina to say something that interesting.
The amusement in Stanley's eyes deepened.
Shane's face darkened as he realized that he was the center of the gossip.
Natalie's eyes twitched at the corners as she shook her head and replied, “I wouldn't know if it's useful or not. I haven't even used it.”
However, Lina's choice of words did strike Natalie as odd.
Aren't pajamas meant to be worn? Why did she say “use”?
“What? You didn't use it?” Lina exclaimed in surprise.
Natalie shook her head. “No. Why?”
Lina was clearly dissatisfied with the outcome. “If you didn't use it, then what have you been doing in the room all afternoon?”
Natalie blinked. “Shane was working while I was sleeping.”
Trembling, Lina pointed a finger at Natalie and exclaimed, “You... You guys!” Then, she sighed.
How can these two spend the wonderful afternoon sleeping and working? Forget about Nat. But shouldn't Mr. Thompson be eager to use the gift the minute he sees it? How is he able to endure not using it?
