"I see you enjoy eating peanuts," Natalie commented casually.
"No, I don't! I'm just in a good mood today," Benjamin immediately denied it.
"In a good mood?" Natalie suddenly understood what he meant and smiled, "That's true. You can finally avoid their scrutiny.

"Miss Godfrey, why are you here today?" Benjamin changed the topic quickly.
"I'm hereto send Remington off," Natalie replied.
Benjamin's mind churned.
He recalled what Tobias had told him last time, which was to give her sspace and respect her decisions. Based on his observations, Natalie seemed to be uninterested in Remington. She was only being polite to him.
In this case, it would not be a big deal for her to send Remington off.
"He is inside," Benjamin gestured into the ward.

"Actually, I can take the bus," She stopped laughing and said with a straight face.
"It's okay, I'll send you home." "Still, I feel bad letting you sendhwhen you just recovered from a serious injury yourself." "Do I look like I've just recovered from a serious injury?" Remington gave Natalie a sidelong glance.
She stared intently at him, while Remington winked.

"I know, right?" The corner of Remington's lips curled into a mischievous smile.

Natalie felt like she was in a dream. It was as if everything from five years ago was happening all over again. "Remington," Natalie suddenly called out his name.
"Yes?" "I think I like how we are now," Natalie gestured between the two of them and said, "It feels like the old us." Natalie had always treated him as one of her best friends. She loved it when the two of them talked and laughed together. She thought they got along well with each other.
"Yeah," Remington turned his head away from her to hide the emotions bubbling in his eyes.
Natalie did not notice the sadness on his face. It disappeared as quickly as it arrived.
"Then, shall we just be friends, like the old times?" Natalie asked.
Just then, the traffic light turned red. Remington hit the brakes gently.
Then, he turned to look at Natalie in the eye and repeated, "Just friends?" "Yes," Natalie replied, her expression serious.
Remington closed his eyes and took in a deep breath before whispering, "Okay." There was something odd in his tone, but Natalie could not quite put her finger on it. She grinned, "That's great then."

"Tobias. It's for Tobias," He sighed.
Natalie had already told herself that the necktie was only a simple birthday gift for Tobias. It was nothing else than that.
However, when she heard Remington's statement, she still felt her heart race and her thoughts jumbled up. "It's none of your business." "Natalie!" Remington suddenly raised his voice, "Do you still remember what you told me?" Natalie stared at him in bewilderment.
A moment later, she replied weakly, "Of course I do. But It's really not what you think." Although she had bought Tobias a gift, it didn't mean that she still had feelings for him.
"It's not what I think?" Remington's face was pale as he questioned, "Then tell me, Natalie. What is going on now?" Natalie did not know how to answer him.
