Chapter 901 Only I Can See
"Natalie, are you up?"
Natalie was awakened by the phone ringing, it was a call from Emily.
It was already close to noon.
Emily, being an experienced person, didn't call too early, because she was aware that the dynamics between spouses and her single life were different.
"I'm up." Natalie could now accept Emily's teasing about her sex life without any psychological burden. "Emily, what's up?"
"There is good news." Emily's voice was joyful. "The industry rankings are out, you are the highest-earning supermodel in the country this year, and also named the most promising female supermodel globally."
This year, Natalie's workload was actually quite small, with income mainly coming from endorsement shoots during early pregnancy, endorsement bonuses, magazine sales, and more.
The award for "Most Promising Female Supermodel" holds significant prestige, almost akin to the highest accolade and recognition for a supermodel. This award is not easy to come by.
"Congratulations, Natalie!"
Even though Natalie remained composed in the face of praise or criticism, she was stunned for a moment before responding, "Congratulations to you too, Emily!"
Agents and supermodels were often tied together. Having a top supermodel under one's wing added a remarkable touch to an agent's portfolio.
"The results of the rankings won't be made public for now. The award ceremony is in the S country next Saturday, and the invitation is already in my hands. Will you be attending?"
Natalie pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go."
Such awards usually gave hints in advance or directly informed the winners, allowing them to prepare, but the results were not disclosed to the public until the night of the award ceremony.
When Oliver returned, he saw Natalie selecting a dress for the award ceremony in the dressing room.
Many models or celebrities choose to borrow clothes from brands or consult with endorsing brands for such occasions, essentially wearing their designs to advertise for free.
But Natalie didn't need to.
Oliver would custom-make dresses for her constantly, regardless of whether she would wear them or not. This had been the case for the past two years, even during the months she spent at Maple Villa.
"What's the occasion?" Oliver loosened his tie with one hand as he walked over and embraced Natalie from behind.
He knew Natalie wouldn't just look at dresses for no reason.
She turned around, smiling at Oliver, her eyes gleaming as if seeking praise.
"I won an award and I'm going to S country next week," Natalie said, "The most promising global supermodel."
"My wife is so amazing." Oliver lightly kissed Natalie.
Natalie wore an expression of pride.
She used to have little interest in these awards, simply enjoying the runway and the feeling of being a model. However, after being with Oliver, she also hoped for accolades and shining honors.
"Well." Natalie hooked her arms around his neck, looking up. "Do you have time next week? I have the award ceremony on Saturday."
Oliver recalled, "I'm tied up in R country on Saturday."
Natalie was somewhat disappointed but understood.
"Alright," Natalie pouted, saying, "Then next time I'll win another prestigious award. At that time, you need to come in person . I'll take Nathan with me this time."
As Natalie spoke, she began to think about arranging for bodyguards.
She usually went out with just two or four bodyguards, all arranged by Oliver. If she were to bring Nathan along, she would need to be more cautious,especially considering what Susan had done beofore.
However, this time, there was no need to worry about Susan's scheme, as she had been taken away for investigation a few days ago. Even if she were released, she would be under police surveillance until the case was completely resolved.
Oliver's smile suddenly froze. "Take Nathan with you?"
Oliver thought, 'As soon as she heard I had plans, without even asking me first, she just said she's taking Nathan?
'I guess Natalie probably wanted to take Nathan anyway.'
Sensing Oliver's sudden change in mood, Natalie gave him a puzzled look. She thought, 'I shouldn't have done anything to upset him.'
"Oliver, which one do you think looks better, this blue starry sky series or this champagne floral series?" Natalie finally settled on two sets of dresses, which were both the latest designs.
She had originally planned to wear the dress designed by Flora, but the new dress Flora was making for her wasn't ready yet. The previous ones had already been worn once. For such occasions, it was better to wear something new. So she had to make an alternative choice.
Oliver glanced lazily. "Neither looks good."
Natalie rolled her eyes at him, took a picture, and sent it to her small group with Flora and Jane, asking for their opinions.
Soon, both of them chose the blue dress.
As an award dress, the sapphire blue was more solemn and noble, and the starry design added a touch of splendor.
Seeing Jane's response, Natalie felt relieved.
When Jane suddenly mentioned going abroad with the studio, she had felt uneasy. But now she realized she might have been overthinking it.
Natalie hung the champagne floral dress back and placed the blue starry dress on a shelf to be packed later
"Natalie!" Oliver suddenly approached her, nibbling on her earlobe, causing Natalie to shudder.
.
"You asked me which one looked better, right? If you don't wear any, that's the best." He whispered.
Natalie had a bad premonition.
"And." Oliver's hand rested on Natalie's shoulder. "Only I can see."
Just as Oliver was about to lift Natalie, a maid's knock was suddenly heard from outside.
"Mrs. Windsor, Nathan woke up and is looking for you. I can't soothe him."
Natalie looked at Oliver, feeling helpless.
But Oliver didn't move.
"You better put me down quickly." Natalie patted his shoulder.
"He won't cry anyway."
"Oliver! Let go!"
Oliversuddenly darkened his face.
He thought, 'Having a child was the worst decision I've made last year!
'When Nathan grow ups, I would make Nathan experience being abruptly interrupted halfway!'
Natalie quickly put on her clothes. As she opened the door, she saw Nathan lying on his stomach on the carpet.
Nathan was wearing a lotus-colored satin bellyband, looking at Natalie.
His big eyes were particularly vivid and adorable.
Nathan couldn't crawl yet, but he had no problem lying on his stomach. After he learnt how to sit, he didn't like being carried by the maid. He would just lay and wait for Natalie to open the door.
Seeing Natalie, he swiftly shifted from lying to sitting, extending his chubby little arms for a hug.
Natalie was moved, and she picked Nathan up, giving him a kiss.
"Mrs. Windsor, Nathan likes you the most. He doesn't want us to carry him. Only you can," The maid smiled.
Oliver walked out, draped in a loose home robe, and looked at Nathan expressionlessly. He was very displeased now.
