Tobias didn't know how to use it.

He had never used a kettle before.

Natalie noticed that Tobias was looking at the kettle awkwardly.

She was speechless.

This was her first time seeing him look so helpless.

Natalie walked over and pressed the button at the bottom of the kettle with her finger. "Just press this."

"Here?" Tobias reached out his hand.

"Yes." Natalie nodded.

Their fingertips made contact.

A strange current of electricity instantly passed through their bodies.

Natalie's breathing hitched.

Tobias was the first to react.

He suddenly flipped his hand around and held Natalie's. He couldn't control it, as if it were an instinctive move.

Natalie widened her eyes in shock.

"Natalie, don't worry, I'm here," Tobias suddenly said.

Natalie hesitated for a moment.

His palm was very warm. Her hand was enveloped in warmth just like that, and she did not want to pull away.

Natalie bit her lip.

She comforted herself, telling herself that it was nothing at all. It was just Tobias' way of comforting her.

She felt flustered. She did not want to give up that slight warmth that she felt.

They held each other's hands until the water boiled...

"Natalie, I'll pour you some water."

"Okay."

Tobias released her hand.
