Chapter 636


    She saw Tobias.


    He sat on the sofa with an air of nobility, and there were two men sitting next to him.


    One of the men looked slightly older, but his facial features were very handsome. He had the unique


    charm of a mature man.


    The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, carrying a look of natural nobility.


    She felt that the other man looked familiar, but she could not remember who he was at the moment.


    She was much too nervous upon seeing Tobias.


    It was that man who recognized Natalie.


    "Natalie!" He immediately called out.


    Tobias'' body froze, and he looked up in disbelief.


    Their eyes met...


    Natalie finally remembered who this man was.


    He was Tobias'' friend, and a famouswyer as well. They had met a long time ago.


    He''d even helped her win awsuit.


    Natalie quickly lowered her head. "What would you like to order?"


    She told herself in her heart that Tobias was just an ordinary guest right now. She shouldn''t, and


    couldn''t think too much about it...


    Vincent immediately realized something when he saw the uniform Natalie had on.


    He pped Tobias'' shoulder with force. "This is too much, Tobias. How could you make your wife


    work here?"


    When Matthew heard his words, he looked Natalie up and down.


    Natalie blushed. "Don''t make a big deal out of something that isn''t true, Mr. Hoffman."


    "Shut up," Tobias said in a low voice.


    Vincent was taken aback.


    If she wasn''t Tobias'' wife...


    When he''de to Agaphen City to help Natalie file thatwsuit many years ago, wasn''t Natalie his


    wife? Why had their rtionship dissolved so quickly?


    The room suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was tense.


    In the end, it was Matthew who broke the silence.


    He stood up and asked, "What do you have here?"


    His voice was very pleasant and deep. It was especially warm, and made people feel like they were


    standing in the spring breeze.


    Natalie quickly came back to her senses.


    She showed him the menu.


    "Lafite, the most expensive kind," Matthew ordered. "This way, you can get moremission."


    "Thank you," Natalie thanked him in a low voice, and quickly exited the room.


    After Natalie left, Vincent immediately began to question Tobias.


    "What''s going on, Tobias? Didn''t you have quite strong feelings for that girl thest time I came


    here? What happened?"


    A hint of bitterness shed across Tobias'' eyes.


    "We broke up," Tobias answered.


    "So you''re single now?" Vincent asked.


    "That''s right."


    Matthew then remarked thoughtfully, "You''re already over 30 years old, but you''re still single. You''ll


    have to look for someone."


    Tobias cast him a nce. "You''re older than me."


    Matthew immediately fell speechless.


    Just then, Natalie entered the room with a few bottles of aged Lafite.


    Because of her nerves, she identally cut her hand with the bottle opener.


    Blood seeped out from the wound.


    Tobias stepped forward almost immediately.


    He quickly grabbed Natalie''s hand and asked nervously, "Natalie, are you okay?"


    At this moment, his reaction waspletely subconscious. He had totally forgotten that they were


    separated, and that he had to keep his distance.


    The moment that Tobias'' hand grabbed Natalie''s, her mind went nk.


    They had once been as physically intimate as possible with one another. But now, it was like


    Natalie''s heart had been set on fire just because her hands had been held like that.


    Natalie quickly withdrew her hands from his grip.


    Only when she pulled back did Tobias realize that he had forgotten his manners.


    "I''ll be outside. If there''s anything you need, just ring the bell and ask for me." After saying that,


    Natalie hurried out of the room.


    She went to the infirmary and wrapped her wound with a band-aid.


    Although her finger was injured, it was like she could not feel any pain. She only felt a slight heat,


    the heat left by Tobias when he held her hand.


    The atmosphere in the room returned to normal.


    Vincent initially wanted to ask Tobias what had happened to Natalie. Seeing that Tobias'' face was a


    little pale, he stopped himself and did not ask any further.


    Matthew was a man who was very good at livening up the atmosphere. With him there to mediate


    the situation, Tobias gradually returned to normal.


    "Are you nning oning back to Agaphen City for work?" Tobias asked Matthew.


    "That''s right."


    "Why do you suddenly want to return to Agaphen City?"


    Matthew''s eyes shed.


    As he looked at Tobias'' face, it seemed to gradually ovep with that of another person''s.


    Matthew smiled.


    He was very handsome, evenparable to Tobias, but he gave off apletely different vibe.


    Tobias gave everybody a cold impression, while Matthew was the exact opposite.


    This was even more so when he smiled. It gave people the feeling of being immersed in the spring


    breeze, iparably at ease.


    "It was a spring of the moment thing." Matthew brushed it off.


    He couldn''t possibly tell Tobias that it was because he had yet to give up on Selina, and that he was


    highly ambitious in going after her.


    The three of them finished drinking, and were ready to go back.


    Matthew had too much, so he did not drive his own car. He asked Vincent to drive his car back while


    he himself got into Tobias'' car.


    The weather that day was not good. Right then, it was raining quite a bit.


    When the headlights were switched on, Tobias suddenly found himself unable to hit the gas.


    He saw Natalie again.


    Natalie seemed to have just gotten off work. She walked in the rain holding an umbre.


    The rain became heavier and heavier, and one side of Natalie''s shoulder was wet.


    Tobias held his breath.


    Matthew had guessed his intentions.


    "If you don''t want her to get soaked in the rain, ask her to get in the car," Matthew suggested.


    Tobias pursed his lips tightly.


    Matthew opened the window. "Youngdy."


    Natalie had not walked far before she heard someone behind her calling for her. She turned around


    immediately.


    She walked over and saw Matthew in the car.


    "What is it?" she asked.


    "It''s raining, get in the car. Well send you home."


    "There''s no need for that." Natalie immediately refused.


    However, Matthew''s eyes fell on Natalie''s finger, which had a band-aid on. "You''re already injured. If


    you walk in the rain with that, it''ll get inmed. If it worsens, I''m afraid you won''t recover properly.


    Given the nature of your job, you''ll have to open bottles regrly. If your hands aren''t in good


    condition, it will affect your work."


    Natalie''s breathing hitched.


    Matthew was right.


    Moreover, she was now living alone in the apartment. If her hands got inmed, it would be very


    troublesome.


    Meanwhile, Matthew had already opened the door. "Get in."


    Natalie hesitated for a moment before she finally got in the car.


    She and Matthew had only met once, but he was very strange. Although he had a noble aura, he


    didn''t seem to keep people at arm''s length. Instead, he gave people an inexplicable sense of trust.


    After getting in the car, Natalie finally realized something.


    She saw Tobias sitting in the driver''s seat, his back ramrod straight.

    No wonder she felt that the car was so familiar. It was Tobias'' car.


    "I... I''m getting off the car," Natalie said subconsciously.


    Matthew smiled in response. "You''re already in the car. Why are you getting off for?"
