"Oh my god, why is my cooking so delicious? I'm almost comparable to a five-star chef." Natalie could not help but praise herself while eating.
Tobias looked at the woman in front of him, who was eating while talking excitedly with her cheeks bulging and his eyes moved slightly.
He found that Natalie was easily satisfied; she would even be satisfied by eating delicious noodles.
And her very inelegant manner of eating was somewhat lovely in Tobias' eyes at that moment.
Natalie only realised that Tobias had been staring at her after she finished the noodles.
She touched the corner of her mouth and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
It was only then that Tobias realized that he had forgotten his manners.
He retracted his gaze and replied, "No."
Natalie smiled and said, "Then why are you staring at me like that? Do you suddenly think that I am too bea utif u I?"
Tobias's eyelids twitched, he answered, "Yeah." "You have good taste."
After Natalie finished speaking, Tobias did not continue talking about that topic.
He changed the topic, "Vannah will go to court this Saturday. Do you want to go there then?" Natalie immediately nodded and said, "Of course, why wouldn't I go to such an important occasion?"
Tobias looked at Natalie deeply. "You've only met her once. Why do you want to help her so much?"
Natalie was stunned.
After a while, she touched her head and said, "Actually, I don't know either. I guess it's because I pity her, and it's probably just in my nature to do so. Besides, I feel that she's the same as me in the sense that we are both people who have lived harsh lives."
Speaking of that, Natalie's eyes suddenly lit up. "But I am luckier than her because I got to meet you. Look, right now I get to live in such a big house, eat good things, and get to know many people who care about me. I think I am very lucky."
Looking at Natalie's shining eyes, Tobias
unconsciously smiled.
"She's also very lucky." Tobias said, "Because she met you. At least, she doesn't need to lose her life."
Natalie said in embarrassment, "I did nothing. It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the ability to save even one person."
Tobias raised his voice. "Natalie, I'm not the sole contributor for this matter, you contributed too. Have you forgotten all the posts you put online?"
Natalie rolled her eyes and then laughed, "You're right. Let me tell you, the post I made is very popular now. I don't even know how many people are following it."
Then, she took a deep breath and said, "So Tobias, look, there are still many good people in this world."
Even in Natalie's most hopeless and darkest time, she had never doubted human nature.
Perhaps there were a lot of people in the world who were so bad that they could not be saved, such as Madison, Queenie, Brayden, and Yannah's husband.
However, Natalie also believed that there were many good people in the world, such as her father, Aunt Lee, and Tobias.
Tobias did not answer her. When he saw her saying in a hopeful voice that there were still many kind people in the world, he was a little shocked. He thought that it was a happy thing to let Natalie keep such a kind and beautiful state of mind.
"By the way, as for Yannah's mother-in-law and father-in-law." Speaking of that, Natalie's eyes flashed with deep admiration. "I really didn't expect that they would speak up for Vannah. They are such a good old couple, but it's a pity that they have such a son."
A glimmer of light flashed in Tobias's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"It's late already so you should go to bed," he said.
Natalie was surprised when she realized that it was almost three o'clock.
"Oh, it really is late. I'm sorry for making you chat with me for so long," Natalie apologized.
If it wasn't for her, Tobias could go to bed earlier.
