Chapter 642


    Tobias didn''t know how to use it.


    He had never used a kettle before.


    Natalie noticed that Tobias was looking at the kettle awkwardly.


    She was speechless.


    This was her first time seeing him look so helpless.


    Natalie walked over and pressed the button at the bottom of the kettle with her finger. "Just press


    this."


    "Here?" Tobias reached out his hand.


    "Yes." Natalie nodded.


    Their fingertips made contact.


    A strange current of electricity instantly passed through their bodies.


    Natalie''s breathing hitched.


    Tobias was the first to react.


    He suddenly flipped his hand around and held Natalie''s. He couldn''t control it, as if it were an


    instinctive move.


    Natalie widened her eyes in shock.

    "Natalie, don''t worry, I''m here," Tobias suddenly said.


    Natalie hesitated for a moment.


    His palm was very warm. Her hand was enveloped in warmth just like that, and she did not want to


    pull away.


    Natalie bit her lip.


    Sheforted herself, telling herself that it was nothing at all. It was just Tobias'' way offorting


    her.


    She felt flustered. She did not want to give up that slight warmth that she felt.


    They held each other''s hands until the water boiled...


    "Natalie, I''ll pour you some water."


    "Okay."


    Tobias released her hand.


    The warmth disappeared, and Natalie felt as though her heart became emptier.


    Tobias handed the cup to her.


    The cup warmed up quickly, probably because of the heat from the hot water.


    However, Natalie felt that it wasn''t as warm as Tobias''s hand.


    The warmth brought by his hand had really warmed her to her core.


    After drinking the water, Natalie looked at the time. It was already two o''clock in the morning.


    She couldn''t help but ask, "Is there any news about my father?"


    "Natalie, we''ve only been looking for ten minutes.


    It won''t be that fast."


    Natalie murmured a quiet reply.


    Tobias'' subordinates had only left ten minutes ago, but she felt as though it had been a very, very


    long time.


    She was much too worried about James.


    Natalie asked Tobias again and again whether there was any news pretty much every few minutes.


    Tobias patiently answered her, and he would ask Benjamin the same question every few minutes as


    well.


    However, they had not found him. Each time they asked him, the answer would be in the negative.


    In the end, Natalie could not take it any further.


    Tobias'' gaze was a little deep. "Natalie, how about I bring you out to look for your father? Let''s drive


    around and see whether we can find him."


    Natalie immediately agreed.


    It waste at night, and Tobias''s car sped on the streets.


    Natalie was worried that she''d miss James, so she opened the window to get a clearer look.


    The wind in the middle of the night was incredibly fierce, and made Natalie shiver.


    Tobias noticed this.


    He immediately stopped the car and draped his coat over Natalie''s body.


    She opened her eyes wide and said, "You''ll get cold."


    "It''s okay. I''m a man, getting a little cold won''t affect me." Tobias''s voice was deep and maic.


    Natalie still wanted to refuse, but Tobias started up the engine again.


    Right then, Tobias was only wearing a white shirt.


    Natalie grabbed the hem of Tobias'' coat with her hand, and a ripple of emotion stirred in her.


    His coat had a faintly refreshing smell and the scent of tobo on it.


    "Tobias," Natalie could not help but say in a low voice. "Thank you. It''s sote at night, but you''re


    still apanying me to look for my father."


    "He''s Hayden''s grandfather. It''s only right that I look for him as well."


    Natalie''s eyshes trembled.


    She was filled with gratitude, but she couldn''t bring herself to say anything.


    After searching on the streets for two hours, Natalie still did not find any trace of James.


    Benjamin and the others had not found him either.


    She was getting more and more nervous.


    "Tobias, nothing will happen to my father, right?" Natalie asked with concern.


    "Natalie, don''t worry, I''ll definitely help you find your father." He had a way of speaking that could


    comfort others.


    Natalie started crying. "It''s all my fault. If I hadn''t gone to work, my father wouldn''t have gone


    missing. It''s all my fault."


    "Natalie." Tobias'' tone grew deeper. "Your father is an adult. You don''t need to keep an eye on him


    all the time. Not to mention, it''s not an ident if you expect it to happen. You don''t need to me


    yourself."


    Although Tobias was right, she still felt guilty.


    She looked out of the window helplessly, hoping to spot James.


    As the sky slowly brightened, Tobias suggested returning to Natalie''s apartment to see whether they


    could find James nearby.


    Natalie agreed at once.


    Tobias was right. When the car arrived in Natalie''s neighborhood, she saw a hunched figure.


    Natalie immediately became agitated. "Tobias, I can see my father! He''s right there, just in front!"


    Tobias sped up the car, and abruptly braked in front of James.


    Natalie immediately pushed open the car door and jumped out of the car.


    "Dad." Natalie rushed over. "Where have you been? I''ve been looking for you everywhere. I was


    about to go mad."


    As she spoke, Natalie''s eyes turned red.


    James was shocked with Natalie''s sudden appearance.


    When he saw that the person in front of him was Natalie, a hint of panic appeared in James''s eyes.


    The panic disappeared after a short while.


    "I... I... I was just walking around." James looked like he was trying to hide something.


    His mental stability had been fluctuating over this period of time, so nobody thought that it was out


    of the norm.


    Natalie grabbed James'' hand and said, "Dad, please don''t do this next time. You''ll make me worry."


    As she spoke, her tears fell.


    James was shocked when he saw how Natalie looked.


    "I... I won''t do this again."


    Natalie took a deep breath.


    She wanted to say more, but seeing James like this made it difficult for her to do so.


    "Let''s go back, Dad," Natalie said.


    James nodded.


    After taking a few steps, Natalie suddenly stopped.


    She almost forgot that Tobias was still there.


    She turned around and saw Tobias standing behind her.


    He looked more handsome in the morning light.


    Natalie walked up to him.


    Her tone had an inexplicable trace of emotion. "If you don''t mind, maybe you can join us for


    breakfast."


    Tobias had stayed with her with so long, and he''d even spent the whole night searching for her


    father. It was only reasonable for her to invite him for breakfast so that he could get some rest.


    Tobias'' gaze focused on her.


    He''d thought that Natalie would have just left with James, and he hadn''t expected her to turn back


    and invite him for breakfast.


    Light glinted in his eyes.
