Natalie was stunned. "Do you own this store?"

Jack nodded.

It turned out that this candy was branded and had its own special outlet in every city's shopping mall. The candy brand was under Jack's company. Jack was here to inspect the situation of this store. The lady at the counter had already packed up a big paper bag and handed it to Natalie.

Natalie was a little embarrassed, but still accepted it.

"Natalie, how have you been doing recently?" Jack said as he walked away from the candy stall with Natalie. "Let's have a seat there."

There was a beverage store just in front. Natalie didn't refuse and followed Jack into the store.

Jack ordered two cups of coffee.

"I'm fine; I'm getting married soon. Will you be coming, Jack?" Natalie took a cup of coffee.

Jack's face stiffened.

After a while, he forced a smile. "Are you getting married to Tobias?"

They found a spot to sit down.

"Yes, Jack."

Jack gazed at Natalie.

She was glowing with happiness.

He felt his heartstrings being tugged at.

Natalie was no longer a child. She wasn't the Natalie who belonged to him alone anymore, nor was she the Natalie who had held his hand and called him her older brother, Jack.

His Natalie had grown up.

She was going to have her own love story, her own life.
