Come back home with me
“What’s your name?” Tory smiled and turned around to ask Ryan’s name.
It was like his niece was getting married to Ryan in the next second.
“Well… I…” Ryan stuttered and couldn’t speak.
Seeing this, Natalie quickly spoke up and explained, “Uncle, you misunderstood us.”
“Misunderstood?” Tory obviously didn’t believe it, and he showed a curious look. “If you’re not
dating, why are you going home at this time?”
“Don’t try to fool me.”
Tory chuckled and said, “It’s not as if I don’t approve of your being with the lad.”
The young man looked very kind and had a good personality.
Unlike Julian, who appeared to have an impersonal temper. He wore a livid all the time as if the
world owed him money.
And this young man could take the initiative to protect Natalie… As Natalie’s uncle, he was really
satisfied.
Upon hearing Tory’s gossip tone, Natalie quickly took a sip of water to quell her surprise.
Then she touched her forehead and said helplessly, “He’s my assistant in the lab. He’s really not my
boyfriend.”
“He came home with me today because we were delayed by something, and we haven’t have
dinner. The restaurant outside was basically closed at this time, so he had to come home with me
for dinner.”
“Right, Ryan?”
Natalie turned her head and lightly raised her chin to signal Ryan.
Ryan received Natalie’s gaze and quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, I’m here to cook for her.”
“Please don’t get me wrong.”
Tory’s eyes rolled, scanning the blushing young man and then his calm niece.
“Really?”
With all his years of people-watching, he knew Ryan must like Natalie.
He knew it but he won’t say it. The young people’s affairs had to be handled by themselves… He could
only wish this young man good luck in his heart.
Natalie knew her uncle well and didn’t want to stay on this topic any longer, so she changed the topic
and said, “Uncle Tory, have you eaten yet?”
“Shall we have dinner together?” Natalie walked towards the kitchen and said, “Ryan would cook it
for us.”
“Okay, I’ve come all the way and haven’t had a meal yet.” Tory chuckled brightly. “Then thank you,
kid.”
Tory stood up and patted Ryan’s shoulder as he spoke.
Ryan smiled and said, “My pleasure.”
“What do you like to eat?” Ryan said and quickly followed Natalie to the kitchen.
Both of them went to the kitchen, and Tory walked around the villa with his hands behind his back.
The house was very large, and the decoration style was Natalie’s favorite. But for some reason, he
felt the house very empty.
And there was almost no atmosphere of life.
He wondered if Natalie had been living well in this remote and impoverished place for so many
years…
Thinking of this, Tory couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, “Alas.”
If it weren’t for Julian, Natalie wouldn’t have left her hometown for more than three years and
suffered so much in vain.
“Why sigh?” A voice came in his ear.
Tory turned his head and it was Natalie. She was holding a glass in her hand, which was a yellow
liquid, clearly wine.
Natalie didn’t drink alcohol before.
Tory waved his hand and withdrew the expression on his face just now. “Nothing.” He said
Seeing him not speaking, Natalie asked, “Why did you come to Los Angeles for me?”
Upon hearing this, Tory had something to say, “You haven’t contacted your mother once in three years.
How could you be so cruel-hearted?”
Natalie blinked and muttered, “I…”
“Your mother has a sharp tongue. She said she wanted to kick you out, but how could she? She’s your
mother.”
What he said was earnest.
Natalie was silent.
In fact, she also knew her mother’s personality, with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. But the reason
why she never contacted her mother was because she had a barrier in her heart.
She insisted on marrying into the Graham family, which was her fault and she had no face to contact
her family again…
“Come back home with me to see her. She misses you a lot.”
Natalie took a sip of the wine, without speaking for a long time, thinking about something.
“Even if you don’t go back to see your mother, at least you should see your grandfather. He really
misses you.”
“And your grandfather is getting older… Who knows when…” Tory couldn’t continue.
When Natalie heard this, the image of Grandpa Graham lying in his hospital bed suddenly flashed
into her mind.
Life was impermanent, like a leaf. Every fallen leaf fell into the river without exception.
At last some ripples began to set in her heart.
After a while, she nodded lightly and said, “Hmm.”
Tory smiled and reached out a hand to touch Natalie’s head. There was satisfaction in his calm
voice, “Good girl.”
Then they stood by the stairs like this, chatting a lot more.
Ryan was busy in the kitchen and finally finished cooking dinner. He brought all the dishes to the table
one by one and then waved to Natalie and Tory standing by the stairs.
“Dinner is ready. Come here.”
Natalie and Tory walked to the table and saw a variety of dishes. The dishes were simply dazzling, and
they couldn’t believe their eyes…
“Gosh, Ryan! You are so good?” Natalie exclaimed in surprise, clearly surprised by Ryan’s skills.
Ryan was shy and scratched his head and said, “Not bad, I think.”
His forgot his boast of being a God of kitchen in the car.
Ryan glanced behind Natalie and saw Tory. He quickly pulled out a chair for Tory and said, “Please
sit down.”
Seeing this, Tory looked satisfied and sat down.
Ryan then immediately took tableware for them and said, “Have a try.”
Natalie took the fork and knife and tasted the steak. Before she could give her comment, the man next
to her took the lead and said, “Hmm, nice!”
“It’s better than most steak I’ve eaten!” Tory swallowed and thumbed up in appreciation
He had a better impression of this young man.
“Really?” Ryan scratched his head with a somewhat flattered expression.
Natalie smiled and said, “Aren’t you boasting about being a God of kitchen just now? Where’s your
confidence?”
She really didn’t expect Ryan to cook so well. Now she wondered how many surprises he had not
showed to her.
“But it’s really delicious. If you come to cook for me every day, I don’t know how much pounds I’ll
put on.”
Ryan felt embarrassed. His ears were red and he hurriedly sat down to eat.
The three people sat around the table, and Tory was obviously hungry, taking one bite after
another and eating a lot.
He passed Natalie a chicken wing and casually asked, “What were you doing today?”
Perhaps it was because the current atmosphere was really relaxed, so Ryan didn’t even think about it,
and he replied for Natalie, “She performed surgery on Lord Graham for a whole day today. She
must be very tired.”
Lord Graham?!
Tory’s face suddenly became grim.
Natalie kicked Ryan under the dining table, her eyes telling him not to say anything.
Ryan then realized and squeezed his lips and lowered his head to eat.
After hearing this, Tory felt that the food was not delicious anymore. He put down his fork and spoke
seriously, “You performed surgery on Lord Graham today?”
“Lord Graham is Julian’s grandfather, right?” He thought that Natalie had already distanced herself from
Julian and didn’t know about this.
