Brandon and Natalie were having lunch at a restaurant when Brandon suddenly brought up the subject. “The psychologist I introduced Charis to told me that she has been receiving regular treatment and is getting better and better.”

Natalie’s eyebrow shot up in surprise. “That’s good. If she can bounce back and get back to her normal self even after what happened, then she’s a tough cookie.”

Brandon nodded nonchalantly. He then poured some food onto Natalie’s plate and said, “It’s her life. She’s getting better for her own good.”

Natalie took a bite of her food and chewed thoughtfully. In fact, she was a little hungry now. If nothing had happened between her and Charis, she would have admired her. It was a shame that Charis became an eternal enemy of Natalie.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier outside.

A man in a gray coat and black knit hat entered the restaurant. He took off his hat, brushed off snowflakes, and blew on his cold hands. Then, he turned around and walked into a private room.

Watching him arrive, Brandon smiled. “You’re late, so you have to pay the bill.”

Garrett laughed. “Maybe it was because of his new haircut, but Garrett somehow seemed more mature now. ‘It’s only been a few months, Mr. Harding. Why do you look so much older?’ Natalie joked.

Previously, from what Charis had told Brandon about Garrett, Brandon had been on his guard against him. Later, Natalie told him that these were all lies, and he stopped believing Charis’s stories. Natalie had even assured him that Garrett was one of her closest and steadiest friends. Since then, Brandon had gradually regained his trust in Garrett.

Garrett smiled wryly and took a glass of wine. “Yes, yes, I know I’m late. I am sorry.”
