Not to mention, Tobias had been very independent since he was a child. Even if Peter were to put a knife to his neck, Tobias would not listen to him so easily. Peter held back his thoughts.

He was just about to say something else when he saw Tobias already striding towards them.

Natalie also noticed Tobias.

As she watched him approach them, she felt at ease.

Although she was the one who'd told Tobias to leave earlier, her heart had almost leapt out of her throat when he left. Now that he was back, her heart settled back into her chest. Peter glanced at Tobias with displeasure. "Why are you in such a hurry to come back? Are you still worried that I would do something?"

Tobias smiled.

He did not feel at ease leaving Natalie alone.

It was not because he was afraid that Peter would do something to Natalie. After all, he still had faith in Peter.

It was just that Peter could be vicious with his words, and Natalie wasn't exactly the strongest mentally. Tobias was worried that Natalie wouldn't be able to take it.

Tobias put the bag in his hand on the table. "I bought some fruits just for you, Grandpa. Have some."

Peter snorted. "Don't tell me there aren't any fruits in this restaurant. Why would you need to buy them yourself?"

It was clearly just an excuse!

Tobias had already opened the bag and started to take out the cut fruits. "Grandpa, everyone has their own talents. This restaurant specialises in cooking food, but the fruits here might not be the freshest. Of course it'd be better to eat fruits from a fruit shop."

Natalie saw a box of sliced pineapple.

It was a vibrant yellow and looked tasty.

Natalie mustered up the courage to place the pineapples in front of Peter. "Mr. Whitlock, eating pineapples after a meal is good for digestion. Perhaps you can give it a try." Peter glanced at Natalie and did not speak.

In the end, although he did not eat it, he did not push away the pineapple that Natalie had put in front of him.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that this was the greatest respect Peter could give her.

After having some fruits, the three of them left the restaurant.
