Tobias felt rather happy at this.

"Okay," he replied in a low voice.

After arriving at the apartment, James said that he was tired and went to bed.

Natalie and Tobias were alone in the small living room.

There was a hint of awkwardness between them.

At first, they couldn't really sense the awkwardness, probably because they were in a rush to search for James.

But now that James had been found, Natalie was not in such a hurry. All of a sudden, she felt rather awkward.

Natalie hurried into the kitchen and said, "I'll get you something to eat."

She opened the refrigerator and found that there was no food at all.

Natalie subconsciously pulled on her hair. "We only have some bread left. Do you mind just having some bread and butter?" Tobias stepped forward and naturally took the bread and butter from her. "Let me do it. I'm pretty good at preparing this." Natalie's breathing hitched.

After eating, Natalie's stomach and heart both felt warm.

Tobias stood up.

"Natalie, I'm heading off first," he said.

He hadn't forgotten about distancing himself from her.

"Oh." There was a hint of disappointment in Natalie's eyes.
