"You can do it yourself," Tobias replied coolly.

"But Natalie can do it herself too," Hayden pulled a face at him.

Tobias ignored him and continued to pile food on her plate.

Hayden pouted and crossed his little arms in front of his chest.

Upon seeing his response, Natalie quickly scooped a few meatballs and placed them on his plate.

Only then did Hayden stop complaining. He quickly grinned triumphantly at Tobias.

Then, he blinked at Natalie and complained, "Natalie, you've been so kind to me. My Daddy must be fake! He's not a real Daddy. He cannot compare to you."

Hayden had an excellent appetite that evening, and they spent longer than usual time finishing their dinner.

When they were happily enjoying their dinner, a waiter walked past their table with a jug of hot water.

However, the waiter did not notice that the floor was slippery. He accidentally stepped on the puddle, slipped and fell on his back. He lost his grip on the jug as it flew from his hands straight up in the air.

It was like the slow-motion sequence one would see in movie scenes. The jug tipped in mid-air, the boiling hot content hurling towards Natalie.

Natalie did not have time to respond at all. Her eyes widened in horror as she watched the jug flying towards her.

Tobias was quick to react. He immediately threw himself in front of Natalie and shielded her with his body.

Consequently, the jug hit Tobias smack in the back, and some of the hot water spilled onto him.

"Oh my god, are you all right?" Natalie's face turned pale with shock.

"I'm alright," Tobias winced.

The waiter was frightened. He hurriedly went up to check on him and apologized profusely.

"Get lost," Tobias growled at the clumsy waiter.

The waiter was terrified by Tobias's fierce glare. He quickly cleaned up the mess and scampered back to the kitchen.

Hayden was frightened too. His face was as pale as a sheet as he gasped, "Daddy, are you okay?
