“I… I’m going to be late for work. I have to go.”
With that, Natalie fled in a panic. She couldn't stay a moment longer, or she’d die of embarrassment.
Mrs. Lockwood watched her run off. Why was she leaving just like that?
Mrs. Lockwood called after her.
“Natalie, you haven’t eaten breakfast!”
She had only stopped Natalie to make sure she ate.
After all, Natalie had skipped dinner last night and was now planning to go to work without breakfast. How could she manage?
But somehow the topic had gotten sidetracked, and Natalie had bolted.
“In the end, she still didn’t eat. I should have just packed her a sandwich and some milk.”
Mrs. Lockwood was muttering to herself and didn’t notice her son, Terence, right behind her.
Terence watched Natalie’s panicked escape, a small smile playing on his lips.
Running that fast? Was she that scared?
When Mrs. Lockwood turned around and saw Terence behind her, she jumped.
“Terence, when did you get here? You scared me to death.”
“Just as you were worrying about your daughter-in-law skipping breakfast.”
Terence’s words made Mrs. Lockwood’s eyes sparkle.
“Daughter-in-law? It seems you two are moving along quickly. Son, you’re not very considerate. How could you not tell me about something this big?”
Terence didn’t respond. Mrs. Lockwood moved closer, a wide grin on her face. “Last night with Natalie… was it for real?”
