Why did he get so emotional all of a sudden?
Did eating Natalie’s crab pastry make him miss her?
Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.

The Lockwood Residence.
Mrs. Lockwood approached Natalie with a secretive, excited grin.
“Natalie, quick, try on this sexy outfit I bought for you! And do you like this helmet? It’s Hello Kitty! We’ll put on these outfits, wear our Hello Kitty helmets, and ride the motorcycle. We’ll look so gorgeous and badass.”
Natalie looked at the outfit Mrs. Lockwood had bought for her. It was certainly sexy. And it certainly didn't use much fabric.
“Is this really an article of clothing? Are you sure you didn’t grab the wrong thing?”
What was this scrap of cloth even for? It was a little too small to even be a rag.
“You have such a great figure, and that gorgeous slim waist of yours has to be shown off. Look, I even bought us matching outfits!”
“Do I really have to wear this? I’m reporting for my first day at the research institute. It doesn’t seem appropriate.”
Today was Natalie's first day at Patrick’s institute. She had planned on taking a taxi, but Mrs. Lockwood insisted on taking her.
“I’ve prepared a professional outfit for you to change into when you get there. You can’t wear a business suit on a motorcycle; it would just look ridiculous. A motorcycle calls for a sexy outfit.”
Mrs. Lockwood grew more excited as she spoke, looking like she was about to lead Natalie on a quest to conquer the world. Natalie felt a bit awkward.
“Are you sure I have to wear this?”
“Absolutely. I’m going to go change now.”
Mrs. Lockwood skipped away happily to change her clothes. With her hair freshly tied up and the new outfit on, no one would have guessed she was old enough to be a mother-in-law.
