Chubukov found Lomov to be a good match for his daughter. He had been waiting for this proposal. He was glad that Lomov came with the proposal. When Lomov became doubtful at Natalya’s consent to his proposal, Chubukov immediately assures him that she was in love with him. No, we cannot agree to it because Natalya did not seem to be in love with Lomov at all. Natalya's reaction on hearing about Lomov's marriage proposal makes it obvious that she was awaiting Lomov's proposal. To conclude, we can say that Natalya had no love for Lomov but being a young girl she wished to get married.
