Nathalia accepted the salad with a grateful smile and said, "Yes, mum. Thank you. Not too much spicy food. I remember you told me before."
Nate was even more speechless to see how sweet and gentle Nathalia was now as she spoke to Sue. What the hell is she? What a strange creature she is! She can be so cruel for one minute and so sweet the next!
When dinner was finally over, Nate excused himself and left with a troubled stomach. Sue seemed to notice that he wasn't feeling well and walked him to the gate herself.
When she returned, she looked at Nathalia sternly, "Nathalia?"
Nathalia grinned and spoke first, "Mum, I didn't mean to, but he has been trying to get close to me, you see."
Shocked, Sue muttered, "Is he?"
Zoe gasped as well.
