That's it... Natalie squinted her eyes and looked intently into Justin's eyes. “Mr. Sutter, you don't seem really

surprised to see me here. Not to mention, you're not astounded that I am Joyce's close friend. Would you mind

explaining that? After all, we've never met each other, have we?”

Needless to say, Justin was well aware that Natalie tended to have a sense of vigilance toward him. He smiled

resignedly and replied, “Sure, no issue on that. I wanted to know more about Joyce before looking for her in J City.

Hence, I tried to find out about her current condition. That was when I came across your name. It's not something

unusual, isn't it?”

Hmm... it makes sense indeed... Natalie pursed her lips and stopped questioning further. Moreover, she felt it was

inappropriate to query too much in the presence of Joyce.

On the other hand, Joyce looked at Natalie and turned to look at Justin, puzzled. She grabbed their hands, urging

them to take a seat. “Ah! Why're you both standing like lamp posts? Come on, take a seat!”

Both the guests burst out laughing and took their seats.

After pouring them a cup of tea each, Joyce told them, “Have a chat among yourself. I'll get changed first.”

The next moment, she headed straight toward her room.

Natalie's eyes lit up when Joyce walked away. Hmph! I have tons of questions to ask him! Now that she's not around,

it's the best timing!

Natalie lifted her cup of tea and lowered her eyes before uttering placidly, “Can I address you as Mr. Sutter?”

“Sure.” Justin nodded.

After taking a sip of tea, Natalie cut to the chase. “Mr. Sutter, I heard from Mrs. Rivers that you're here to pursue

Joyce. Is that so?”

“Yeah, you're right!” Justin smiled blissfully.

Twisting the cup slightly, she questioned, “Mr. Sutter, are you pursuing Joyce because you take a fancy to her?”

“Of course,” he replied briefly, shrugging his shoulders.

Plastering a smile on her face, Natalie responded sarcastically, “Ha! Why am I asking such an absurd question! Of

course, you go near Joyce because you like her. If you don't have any feelings for Joyce, but you're getting close to

her for some other motives; then, it won't be something pleasant. Mr. Sutter, don't you think so?”

Startled, Justin arched his brows. He could finally get a grasp of her mind.

In fact, he had a feeling that Natalie was treating him weirdly. She seemed to have a prejudice against him,

although it was not up to the extent of loathing. However, there was an unmissable frigidness in her demeanor.

He could not wrap his head around her stance a while ago. Ah! She must be assuming that I don't like Joyce, fearing

that I'm approaching her with an ulterior motive and will spell trouble for her. Well, I've to admit that she's really

concerned about Joyce!

At the thought of that, Justin let out a chuckle. “Mrs. Thompson, I share the same sentiment as you. This is indeed

an irritating matter.”

“Allow me to cut the crap. Mr. Sutter, am I right?” Natalie shot him a dagger, tightening the grip on the back of her

palm.

Resting his cheek against his palm, Justin smiled ambiguously. “Mrs. Thompson, what do you think?”

“I've no idea. But my instinct tells me you could be acting that way,” Natalie mocked, twitching her lips.

Justin's lips lifted into a curve. “Oh? Mrs. Thompson, what makes you think so? Would you mind telling me the

reason?”

“It's strange that you pop up out of the blue. Since you claim that you like Joyce, why didn't you come and look for

her earlier? I can't help feeling suspicious about why you only show up after twenty years. Good gracious! You've

parted for twenty years! Are you being sincere when you say that you like her?” Natalie glared at him, knitting her

brows. Hmph! Joyce has totally forgotten about him, but he can still remember her. How weird! Not to mention,

twenty years have passed. By right, he's supposed to have forgotten about her too!

“I see. So that's what bothering you.” Justin nodded with a chuckle. “Mrs. Thompson, you've overthought. I wish to

make things clear that I'm here because I like Joyce, and I don't have any other intentions. As for why I only show

up after twenty years, it's because I've just found out her current location this year.”

“Is that so?” Natalie squinted her eyes again in suspicion.

Justin nodded and reassured her, “Of course! Mrs. Thompson, I understand you're worried that I'm approaching

Joyce with an ulterior motive. But don't worry. I swear I don't have anything up my sleeve. Even though the Sutter

family is incomparable to the Thompson family, it's still known as one of the prominent families. Don't you think I

can't be eyeing anything from Joyce's family?

The next second, he whipped out a name card and gave it to her.
