Chapter 769 Pregnancy
While Natalie spoke, she reached up to hold Oliver's face. Oliver had a delicate face, and she found it comfortable to hold. In this world, besides Natalie, no one dared to touch Oliver's face.
Oliver didn't stop Natalie from holding his face and nodded casually. Then he asked, "And Leo? Is he a hopeless romantic?"
Natalie was speechless. She hadn't expected him to shoot her in the foot, and Oliver seemed somewhat gloomy for her reaction. Unbeknownst to her, he was still worried that Samuel would seduce Natalie. He wondered, 'But why did Samuel suddenly say that Natalie has gained weight? Did he notice something? Why would Samuel suddenly pay attention to Natalie?'
Whenever Samuel said a word to Susan, Oliver would suspect that Samuel was trying to get close to Natalie for benefit. But Samuel did not. Of all the quarrels between Natalie and Susan, Samuel kept himself neutral. Objectively speaking, if there was a kinship between Samuel and Natalie, Samuel should incline to Natalie’s side. So, Oliver found it strange.
When Natalie fell asleep, Oliver instructed Jamie to investigate Samuel. After a while, Oliver also told Jamie to look into the events of The Hastings family in the past twenty years.
Oliver washed up in another bathroom before returning to his bedroom. When Oliver lay down on the bed, Natalie scooched over and lay in his arms. He felt his heart melt instantly.
"Oliver, what time is it now?" Natalie murmured with her eyes closed.
Oliver glanced at the time. "It's nine eighteen in the evening."
"Still so early." Natalie struggled to open her eyes, but failed and said in confusion, "I've been feeling tired recently."
"That’s because you didn't take a nap at noon." Oliver made up an excuse. "I went to bed early too recently." he comforted Natalie.
Natalie was still sleepy and quickly fell asleep, but Oliver wasn't. With his eyes open, he stared at Natalie in his arms and gently brushed her hair aside. "Honey, you need to take care of your health." unconsciously, Natalie snuggled against his chest and sought a comfortable position.
Most of the top executives of RisingKing Group were middle-aged men. Whether in domestic or overseas branches, Oliver knew those men were happy when their wives got pregnant. They would talk to the babies in their wives' bellies or often touch their wives' bellies when they were newly pregnant. Oliver couldn't understand such behavior back then. Even as a father-to-be, Oliver still couldn't understand such behavior.
Rather than caring about the unborn baby, he was more worried that the unborn baby would torment Natalie. He thought that the unborn baby would be well-behaved. However, there were already signs that the baby would be a burden to Natalie. Oliver even thought his baby might grow up to be mischievous.
There were two days left before the end of the free time given by the Super Model organizers. Almost everyone had gone somewhere, but only Natalie stayed in the hotel. Her two assistants, Lilian and Casey, had their respective plans. Casey preferred to be alone, while Lilian and Lucas sought Natalie's permission to go on a date.
"Natalie, there is a variety show called Fashion. You will shoot this variety show when you go to Forinland next week. You only need to work for a day. Are you good? It's similar to a reality show. You will be a special guest, showcasing Forinland as a unique fashion capital to the audience." Natalie got invited mainly because she knew the inviter. She had sent him an email of consolation during his career downturn.
Natalie agreed. After arriving in Forinland, she planned to discuss the details with the production team. The team had promised if Natalie and the team couldn't reach an agreement, she could leave directly.
Natalie had become increasingly famous. She was the most popular female model in the country. She didn't enjoy participating in variety shows, but her appearance would surely skyrocket the show's ratings.
"It's time for lunch," Oliver said, coming to call Natalie.
Natalie told Oliver about the job she just accepted. She might get millions of dollars from that project. However, for Natalie, millions of dollars weren't considered hard-earned cash. But rather, easy money. She had to admit, that making money in the entertainment industry was easier than in fashion.
"Mrs. Windsor, you're amazing!" Oliver intentionally flattered Natalie.
"You're pretending to be happy for me," Natalie frowned. "You can earn that much in less than ten seconds."
Hearing Natalie’s reaction, Oliver thought, 'Do pregnant women change their moods so quickly?'
Oliver decided not to say anything because he felt everything he said would be wrong. But objectively speaking, millions of dollars were indeed small for Oliver. Since this money was earned by his wife, the nature of it was different.
Oliver heard that pregnant women benefit from eating fish for the intellectual development of their babies. So, during this time, Chef Roy would cook sea fishes for Natalie. The aroma of the food filled the dining room.
Unfortunately, Natalie felt uncomfortable as she entered the dining hall. She frowned. However, Natalie suppressed her discomfort and sat down at the table.
"Here, have some fish to eat." Oliver placed the fish with lemon juice before Natalie. She had been vomiting for a long time last night, so he ordered Roy to cook something sour for her.
Natalie usually liked lemon juice. But as she leaned forward to sniff, the most dominant smell she picked up was the fish’s smell. Because of the fishy smell, Natalie felt nauseous.
Oliver noticed Natalie hadn't started eating and frowned. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Natalie shook her head. She took a bite and immediately felt nauseous because of the fishy smell. She accidentally knocked her utensils onto the floor and rushed to the bathroom immediately.
Oliver grew nervous again as he saw Natalie vomiting in front of the toilet again. That morning, Natalie had vomited more than she had last night. She even threw up her undigested breakfast.
Natalie almost fell to the ground. Her face turned pale. Seeing this, Oliver immediately called Jamie, "Tell John to come over!" Natalie didn't object because she felt her situation was getting strange.
Oliver comforted Natalie after she stopped vomiting. "Don't worry, John will be here soon." he picked her up and sat her on a nearby chair.
"Flush the toilet!" Natalie hadn't even sat down, but she thought about the disgusting vomit in the toilet.
Oliver thought, 'I've already seen it, but I'll pretend I didn't see anything and flush the toilet.'
