Vincent was speechless.
Before he could come to his senses, Natalie had run away.
Vincent had no choice but to glance at Matthew, who was walking over.
"Vincent, it seems like it didn't succeed." Matthew said meaningfully.
Vincent let out a faint sigh.
Then, the two of them walked into the room together and saw Tobias standing inside with an unpleasant expression.
"Which one of you did this?" Tobias' tone was cold.
The moment Matthew and Vincent had left, Natalie had come in with the champagne, and under the champagne was a condom. Tobias could already guess what was going on.
Vincent trembled when he saw the cold look in Tobias' eyes.
He smacked himself on the head. "Oh, I almost forgot that I still have a lot of case files to go through! Looks like I'll have to head off for now, you guys have fun, bye!"
Vincent slipped out of the room.
Matthew walked in front of Tobias and asked, "Tobias, are you okay?"
Tobias sat back on the sofa in annoyance and took a large gulp of wine. "Matthew, why are women so frustrating?"
It was clearly a simple matter. He did not want Natalie to work here, because her uniform was a little too short. He did not want her to be in this kind of environment. But how could she misunderstand him like that?
Matthew said in a low voice, "Tobias, all women are like that."
Tobias took a look at Matthew and said, "You seem to know a lot about it."
The corner of Matthew's mouth twitched lightly.
Of course he did. And Tobias's sister was the one who made him feel especially so.
"Don't think too much." Matthew patted Tobias's shoulder. "Take things slowly."
An irritated look flashed across Tobias' eyes. "I'm worried there won't be chance to take things slow. We've already broken up, and I can't interfere in anything she does, even if she were to get together with another man."
Matthew was surprised. "Tobias, you're not that
kind of person."
He still understood Tobias.
Tobias did respect women, but he was not the laidback type. He would not allow his woman to be with other men without caring about it.
Tobias smiled bitterly. "I don't have a choice, unless I want to watch her die with my own two eyes."
Matthew's eyes flashed with deep astonishment.
He looked at Tobias and said, "Tobias, what do you mean..."
There was a hint of irritation between Tobias's brows. "I can't explain this in just a few words."
He paused and there was a deep sense of helplessness on his face. "Basically, what happened between us is a long story."
Matthew's gaze darkened slightly.
He realized that Tobias did not seem to want to discuss any further, so he did not push him either.
He could only comfort Tobias and say, "Tobias, there are some things that shouldn't be rushed. Anyway, there's a lot of time, you can take it slowly."
A dim light flashed in Tobias's eyes. "Matthew, the truth is, I never planned on getting back together with her."
Tobias did not continue after saying this.
Once upon a time, he really had intended to let go of Natalie.
The moment when Natalie stabbed the dagger into herself.
Of course, he still intended to do so at the moment.
Because there was nothing more important than Natalie's life.
It was just that recently he and Natalie were getting entangled in each other's affairs again, and Natalie seemed to be sending him signals.
He mistakenly thought that Natalie still had feelings for him and that he still had a chance.
But now...
Tobias was even more confused as to what her intentions were.
When Natalie returned home, James had just come back.
When Natalie opened the door, she saw James in the living room.
