Natalie did not know why Tobias asked her this question, but she replied without hesitation, "I will call the police and get this person arrested."
Tobias cast Natalie a deep glance and replied, "If I were you, I would pour a pot of boiling water on her as well. Natalie, you should return the pain that others have inflicted upon you. That's the best form of revenge."
Natalie was stunned.
After a while, she looked at Tobias with admiration and said, "You are undoubtedly the president of the YS Group. What a brilliant idea!"
Tobias was not an ordinary person. He was out of the ordinary. His thoughts were unquestionably in contrast to a little girl like her.
Natalie got excited and she picked up a piece of vegetable and put them in Tobias' bowl. "Try this. It's very delicious."
A moment of hesitation entered Tobias' eyes.
"What's wrong?" Natalie was slightly stunned. Her hands were subconsciously frozen in mid-air.
Tobias replied blandly, "I don't like it when someone picks food for me using their used fork."
He was a clean freak. He didn't like it when someone used their used utensils to pick up food for him.
Natalie looked a little embarrassed. She never thought of this before. She must have been too excited.
She was about to apologize, but she didn't expect that in the next second, Tobias gobbled up the food that Natalie had put into his bowl.
Natalie was startled.
"Well, didn't you say that you don't like eating food given to you by someone else's fork?" Natalie stammered.
Tobias cast a deep look at Natalie and replied, "If that person is you, I can make an exception."
Natalie was taken aback.
A moment later, a blush imperceptibly tinged her pale and tender cheeks, her tone filled with subtle shyness. "Why are you making an exception for me?"
A hint of lust glinted in Tobias' eyes. "Natalie, have you forgotten how intense our last kiss was? Do you think that I will be concerned about such trivial things?"
This time, Natalie's face was flushed from her cheeks to the bottom of her neck.
"Stop making fun of me." She whispered, "Just stop."
She and Tobias were just a couple by agreement, yet Tobias always flirted with her vaguely. Natalie felt that it was a recipe for disaster.
After all, what if she took him seriously when he repeated them so many times?
Tobias concealed his emotions and stopped teasing Natalie. At this time, his eyes inadvertently swept over Natalie's hand.
Natalie's hand was red and swollen.
Tobias' gaze was glued on her hand.
When Natalie saw that Tobias was staring at her hand with his deep black eyes, she immediately withdrew her hand and hid it behind her.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Tobias asked.
Natalie smiled dryly and replied, "It's okay now. It's just that I accidentally scalded my hand when I was cooking just now. I have poured cold water over it. I'm fine now."
Tobias' eyelids twitched.
She just used cold water to rinse her hand. How careless could she be?
He did not continue the conversation and continued to dig into his food.
His reaction ignited Natalie's curiosity.
Natalie stared at Tobias with a puzzled look.
"What's wrong?" Tobias looked up at Natalie.
Natalie smiled dryly and said, "I thought that you would be so worried and distressed about me knowing that I was scalded. You would then command your men to send me to the hospital. The story usually goes like this in novels."
In reality, she didn't want Tobias to do this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately hidden the fact that she was injured from Tobias.
However, Tobias' attitude left her baffled. His reaction was not quite in line with the persona of an overbearing big boss male protagonists depicted in romance novels.
