Coincidentally, Tobias stopped at a red light.
Tobias cast his gaze out of the car window.
He was nearby Agaphen University, where Natalie used to study.
At that time, he often came to Agaphen University to pick Natalie up.
In the blink of an eye, everything had changed.
A flash of desolation ran through Tobias's deep, dark eyes.
He was about to look away, but his breath suddenly hitched.
He saw two people in the distance.
A man and a woman walking side by side.
He could only see the man's back. The man was thin and tall, with a white shirt on, while the woman obviously had the man's black suit jacket draped on.
He felt that the woman's back looked incredibly alike somebody else's.
Tobias frowned slightly.
He was overthinking things. How could that be Natalie? Perhaps it was just some university couple taking a stroll.
The traffic light turned green.
Tobias stepped on the gas, but he turned his back towards the couple the moment the car moved forwards.
He stopped his car at the side of the road, and walked towards the couple.
Right at that moment, the couple had walked up to a Toyota. The man held the door open for the woman, and her gaze swept around casually.
She happened to meet Tobias' gaze straight on.
Natalie was stunned.
She hadn't thought that she would meet Tobias here.
"Natalie, why aren't you getting in?" Sebastian asked. He was already seated in the car.
"Oh, right." Natalie snapped out of her daze.
Just as she was about to get on, Tobias had already strode up to her and forcefully grabbed her wrist.
He ripped off the suit jacket draped over her shoulders and threw it to the ground.
Tobias glowered at Natalie, with a raging fire burning in his eyes.
Natalie looked at the jacket that was thrown to the ground and her anger suddenly sparked, too.
What was he doing? He'd just barged in from nowhere and thrown Sebastian's suit jacket onto the ground.
"Tobias, stop being ridiculous!" Natalie's face turned icy.
Tobias took off his own coat in a huff and forced it onto Natalie's shoulders.
Natalie immediately shrugged it off and stuffed it back into Tobias' hands. "I don't need your coat."
"If you don't..." Tobias shot a sharp gaze at Natalie. "Then just freeze!"
Thinking of Natalie having another man's coat draped around her, Tobias felt like he was burning with rage.
"Even you don't need mine, you're not allowed to use others' clothes!" Tobias said coldly.
Natalie's brows knitted, vexed.
She remembered that she had made it clear to Tobias that there was nothing between them anymore. Why was he still butting into her business like this?
Just as Natalie was about to get into the car, Tobias grabbed her wrist again. "Come with me!"
His attitude and tone were both authoritative and domineering, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Why should I?" Natalie glared at him.
Hearing the commotion, Sebastian also came out of the car in a hurry.
There was a flash of astonishment in his eyes when he saw Tobias standing there.
He knew a little about whatever had happened between Natalie and Tobias.
However, his aunt told him that Natalie was single. Judging from Natalie's current reaction to Tobias...
It gave Sebastian a measure of the situation.
"Mr. Whitlock, since Natalie doesn't want to go with you, you can't force her." Sebastian's voice was as gentle as ever, but he stood a strong ground.
Tobias glanced at him coldly. "Do you think you have the right to stick your nose in my business?"
The disdain and contempt in Tobias' tone made Sebastian's face turn pale.
