Chapter 597


    "What a coincidence, you being my nephew''s ssmate. Fate really brought you together,"


    Sebastian''s aunt said.


    "Isn''t it?" Natalie said with a smile.


    Sebastian put a piece of roasted chicken into Natalie''s bowl and said, "The roasted chicken cooked


    by my aunt is the best. You loved eating meat when we were studying."


    Natalie looked at him. "Sebastian, you know me better than myself. You actually still remember my


    tastes in college."


    Sebastian didn''t answer her, but his face reddened at once.


    Sebastian''s aunt possessed the eyes of a tigress. Seeing her nephew''s behavior, she understood


    what was going on. A sh of deep thought flitted across her eyes.


    After having their meal, Sebastian''s aunt went to the kitchen to do the dishes. Natalie went to give


    her a hand.


    When they reached the kitchen, Sebastian''s aunt said casually, "Natalie, your boyfriend looks


    handsome. He''s much better looking than my Sebastian."


    Natalie stunned.


    "What boyfriend?" she asked confusedly.


    "The man standing behind you when I knocked on your doorst time." Sebastian aunt''s eyes


    focused on Natalie''s face.


    Natalie''s heart stopped for a second.


    She remembered that thest time Sebastian''s aunt came to knock on her door, Tobias and Selina


    were there.


    Was she referring to Tobias as her boyfriend?


    An unspeakable sourness bubbled up in her heart.


    "He is not my boyfriend," Natalie exined. "There''s nothing going on between us."


    Sebastian''s aunt suddenly lit up. "Really?"


    Natalie nodded her head heavily in affirmation. "Auntie, why would I lie to you? I have nothing to do


    with that man."


    In the afternoon, Sebastian''s aunt tried her best to get Sebastian to take Natalie for a walk around


    the area.


    However, Natalie was a little tired.


    She wanted to have a good nap.


    "Why don''t we have dinner together tonight, then we can take a walk around?" Natalie said.


    After all, she had a good rtionship with Sebastian in university. Now that they were reunited, they


    had a lot to catch up on.


    Before Sebastian could say anything, his aunt immediately replied, "That sounds great. It''s a date,


    then! Sebastian, go on and see Natalie out."


    Natalieughed. "Auntie, it''s fine, I can go home myself. It''s just upstairs."


    She stood up and nced at Sebastian. "That''s all for now then. See you tonight."


    Sebastian nodded with a flushed face.


    After Natalie left, Sebastian''s aunt stared at Sebastian for so long that he could bear it no more.


    He lowered his head. "What are you looking at, Aunt Shaney?"


    Shaney Lawson, Sebastian''s aunt, lowered her voice and said, "You like her."


    Sebastian turned red from head to toe.


    "Aunt Shaney, what, what nonsense are you spouting?"


    Shaney scoffed. "You''re still faking it, kid. Don''t you know that your aunt has been through all this?


    There''s something wrong with the way you look at that girl."


    Sebastian''s fair face burned up. He felt like he was on pins and needles.


    Shaney scooted closer to Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, I''ve already gotten it out of Natalie just


    now. She doesn''t have a boyfriend at the moment. If you really like her, then you should grab this


    opportunity."


    She shot him a look and said, "You''re old enough to get married. Don''t be shy and pursue her if you


    like her. You should be brave, like a man."


    Sebastian''s breathing hitched a little.


    A momentter, he took a deep breath. "Alright, Aunt Shaney. I know what to do."


    After Natalie went upstairs, she went to bed directly.


    She still was not entirely recovered from her previous hangover and dozed off as soon as her head


    touched the pillows.


    However, she did not sleep long before she heard someone knocking on her door.


    Natalie got up, rubbed her drowsy eyes, and went to open the door.


    She thought that the person knocking was Sebastian, but she didn''t expect it to be Cecilia.


    Cecilia was carrying Hayden in her arms.


    Upon seeing Natalie, Hayden stretched out his hands and said, "Hold me, Natalie."


    Natalie''s heart instantly softened.


    She lifted Hayden out of Cecelia''s arms.


    Hayden rubbed his head against Natalie''s neck affectionately. "Natalie, are you still angry? Don''t be,


    okay? Don''t be angry at Daddy. I gave him a lesson and told him not to hit you anymore."


    At this, he paused and said in a soft tone, "Natalie, I think my Daddy certainly didn''t do it on


    purpose. He is a gentleman and definitely won''t hit women. Is there any misunderstanding between


    you two?"


    Natalie brows furrowed slightly.


    Yes, Tobias was a gentleman. He definitely wouldn''t hit women, but he wasn''t above taking


    advantage of them!


    "Hayden, he didn''t hit me," Natalie said softly.


    After all, Hayden and Tobias were father and son. She didn''t wish for Hayden to misunderstand


    Tobias.


    Hayden could not understand the situation yet. He had mistakenly thought that Tobias''s contempt


    for her was hitting her.

    Hayden got all excited and said, "I''ve told you that Daddy is a gentleman, so he won''t fight with


    women. Natalie, have you forgiven him?"


    Natalie''s breathing hitched.


    She kept silent, as it was better to refrain from saying cruel things in front of children.


    "Hayden, could you go watch TV first? I want to talk to your grandma," Natalie said gently.


    The gears turned in Hayden''s little head.


    "Natalie, are you going to tell my grandmother a secret? A secret that kids can''t listen to?" Hayden


    looked at her, his big eyes blinking.


    Natalie hesitated for a moment before nodding.


    "Okay." Hayden dragged his words out. "I''ll go watch TV then. Don''t tell grandma your secrets too


    softly though, or else I won''t be able to hear anything."


    Natalie was rendered speechless.


    Natalie turned the TV on for Hayden. He quickly became engrossed in the programme.


    She walked towards the door and said, "Auntie, let''s have a talk."


    She knew that Cecilia must have something to tell her since she brought Hayden over.


    Cecilia nodded.


    The two of them went downstairs to an empty spot.


    "Natalie, I hope you can go visit Tobias." Cecilia gave her a pleading look. "He''s in a bad state now.


    The hospital asked him to stay for observation, but he discharged himself and has already headed


    to thepany."


    She paused for a while with some worry in her eyes. "You know how many things are going on at


    thepany. How can his body keep up with everything?"


    Natalie answered without any hesitation, "I won''t go."


    She''d made a fool of herself and and had gone to see him the night before.


    As a result, Tobias not only insulted her verbally, but physically as well.


    She had already made a fool of herself once. How could she repeat the same mistake?


    "Natalie..." Cecelia''s tone was full of pleading.


    Natalie was determined. "Auntie, I won''t go, and..."


    She looked at Cecilia. "Auntie, I will always wee you if you were to bring Hayden to visit me.


    But if you brought him here to persuade me, there''s absolutely no need to do that. Hayden''s a real


    person, not a tool for your convenience."


    Cecilia''s face turned a little pale.


    She did have the intention of using Hayden to soften Natalie''s heart so that she''d go see Tobias, but


    she hadn''t expected Natalie to see through her n so quickly. Neither had she expected Natalie to


    just point the truth out so directly.
