Matthew's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what she meant.
"You're about to get off work, right?" he asked.
Natalie nodded and said, "Yes, it's about time."
"I'll send you back."
Natalie immediately refused. "I can walk back by myself."
"It's not safe since you're a girl. I'll give you a ride." Matthew opened the car door. "Since I happened to bump into you, of course I have to give you a ride. Otherwise, it'd seem like I'm not a gentleman. Don't you agree?"
He looked at Natalie and smiled.
Natalie hesitated for a moment and then got in the car.
Shortly after getting in the car, Matthew suddenly said, "I saw Hayden at the Whitlock family that day. He's adorable, and I've never seen any other child that can compare."
Natalie's breathing hitched.
Matthew gave Natalie a meaningful look and said, "I think every child hopes for their parents to be by their side. Don't you think so, Miss Godfrey?"
Natalie bit her lip.
She realized that Matthew was actually a very capable man.
His actual purpose for sending her back was to give her some advice.
However, he was not like Vincent. Vincent had directly brought up Tobias, while Matthew did not, and instead brought up Hayden first.
"You're right," Natalie said in a low voice. "I'll visit Hayden often, and Hayden will come and visit me too. Hayden will never lack a mother's love, not to mention..."
There was a flash of sadness in her eyes. "Hayden still doesn't know that I'm his mother."
Mathew was speechless.
His eyes flashed.
Hayden still did not know who his biological mother was?
It seemed that this matter was not simple. It was no wonder that Tobias was quite troubled.
After a while, Matthew smiled and said casually, "Miss Godfrey, I've known Tobias for many years. He's definitely one in a million. If there's anything going on, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding..."
His words were interrupted by the sudden ringing of a cell phone.
It was Natalie's phone ringing.
"Sorry, I have to answer this." Natalie held her phone.
It was from Selina.
Natalie's eyebrows furrowed.
It was already so late. Why was Selina calling her?
She picked up the call.
Selina seemed to be drunk, and her speech was slurred. "Natalie, I feel really upset. My mother and my brother don't understand me at all. What do you think I should do? It's really hard being alive. I'd rather die..."
When Natalie heard Selina say the word "die", she became anxious.
She held the phone tightly. "Don't be rash. Where are you? I'll come to you."
"Natalie, I'm so sad. I won't talk about it anymore. You might get upset too."
After that, she hung up.
Natalie began to panic.
Matthew saw her acting strange.
"Don't panic, Miss Godfrey. What's the matter?"
"One of my friends is in trouble." After saying that, Natalie hurriedly dialed Selina's number. However, no one picked up.
"What do I do? Why can't I get through?" Natalie was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Give me her phone number and I'll get someone to track her location," Matthew said.
His voice made her feel at ease.
Natalie gave Selina's phone number to Matthew. After a while, he found Selina's location.
She was at a food stall.
Matthew immediately drove over there.
