The matriarch led them to the dining room.
Natalie and Terence were walking behind the group when Terence said to her, "Grandma has accepted you. She's someone who has never liked a lot of fuss."
Normally, if he did something like this, his grandmother would have called him foolish.
But instead, she was hosting a victory dinner for them.
It was clear she had truly accepted Natalie.
Accepted her?
Natalie grew even more nervous. They weren't in that kind of relationship.
Terence saying something like that could easily be misunderstood.
"I won the competition, and as the children's tutor, I'm happy that the matriarch recognizes my professional abilities."
Terence frowned at her response. Did she see him as some kind of plague?
It was as if Natalie was terrified he would get attached to her. But her worries were unnecessary.
He was absolutely planning on getting attached to her.
Natalie looked at Terence and saw him smile, which puzzled her.
Why did he suddenly smile?
She didn't think her words were particularly amusing.
But… he was smiling, and it was a rather handsome smile.
