Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 683
Natasha didn't notice Joshua's sharp, knife-like gaze on her. Her attention was focused on the menu."Escargot, garlic stuffed mushrooms, lobster bisque..." Natasha listed one dish after another.Unsurprisingly, they all hit Joshua's sore spots.He wasn't usually a suspicious person, but these dishes... were too coincidental.Could it be that Natasha actually knew Jacob?The man's jaw tensed unconsciously, and his gaze was laced with poison.Even as absorbed as Natasha was in the menu, it was hard for her not to notice Joshua's gaze. The unusually intense gaze fixed on her made Natasha feel uncomfortable.She eventually spoke up, "What's wrong?" She paused her ordering and sat up straight, looking directly at Joshua."If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to make faces at me," she said bluntly.Natasha looked at Joshua calmly, not even bothering to explore the meaning behind his piercing gaze.It was probably just because she hadn't answered his calls o

"Go ahead and order."Natasha looked at Joshua, and she raised her brow slightly.She had never seen Joshua like this before. It was quite a novel sight."W-what are you looking at? Just order your food," Joshua was starting to stammer under Natasha's piercing gaze."Okay, okay, I'm ordering."Natasha smiled, picking up the menu again and continuing where she left off."Escargot, garlic stuffed mushrooms, lobster bisque..." As she scanned each dish on the menu, she paused in thought and said, "And add a deep-fried cheese curd."Sitting across from her, Joshua's face was still flushed from embarrassment, and his brow twitched at the mention of that dish.Cheese curds... That was one of Jacob's favorites.In the end, Natasha had only ordered four dishes in total, but they were all dishes Jacob liked to eat.Jacob's favorite dishes could be counted on one hand, so it hardly seemed like a coincidence.Joshua furrowed his brow again."That's it. And we have no dietary restrictio

It was obvious why Joshua had suddenly brought this up."He's still in the ICU. His life is hanging by a thread. After this month, we may never see him again."The man spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Natasha, as if searching for a glimmer of emotion on her face.But Natasha's expression remained calm, with only a hint of detachment in her eyes.It was as if the person Joshua was talking about had no relation to her whatsoever."You..." Joshua's words got stuck in his throat when he saw Natasha's indifferent expression.Her cold demeanor made him feel that there was not an ounce of humanity within her...He persisted and said, "Our Grayson family has consulted nearly every doctor in Oceanville, but none of them can treat Grandpa's illness.""The doctors now recommend that only the Sullivan family's miracle worker can treat his illness."Natasha listened to Joshua's words in silence. She made no comments and showed no change in expression.Even when she heard the name "the Sull

Seeing Joshua's angry expression, it seemed like he thought she was being sarcastic.Natasha quickly took the teapot and forced a smile on her face as she poured a cup of tea for Joshua."No need to be so upset."With Joshua's physique and muscles, even a slight movement of his hand felt like it could send her flying.Moreover, he was currently in an angry state, so she couldn't provoke him further. If he got angrier and actually hit her, it would be over. This was Topola, and none of Oceanville's bodyguards were present.She was all alone, so she had to consider her safety a bit more.Joshua coldly stared at Natasha, who was smiling beside him, without saying a word.Natasha pushed the cup filled with tea toward him and smiled. "The tea here is quite good. You should try it."Joshua glanced up angrily, but when he glanced at Natasha, he was taken aback.Natasha's eyes and smile were bright and warm. Because of her apology, she deliberately lowered her tone, her voice sounding

"Ah…" Natasha blinked, not reacting at first.Seeing Natasha's puzzled expression, Joshua smiled. He then smirked, leisurely repeating, "I said, is a simple apology enough?""I mean, I saw blood. Shouldn't you compensate me for that?" His tone sounded persuasive and his eyes filled with anticipation."Compensate?" Natasha echoed.She seemed a bit slow to grasp what was happening, unconsciously echoing his words."Yes, it's not a small matter to have lips bleeding. I'm meeting business partners later, and everyone will notice my lips are injured. Especially in this state…" Joshua reached to touch his lips.It was a common gesture. But for some reason, when Joshua did it, it added an inexplicable hint of ambiguity.Those who didn't know might even think Joshua's lip was injured due to intense kissing.Natasha pursed her lips, involuntarily backing away.But Joshua seemed oblivious. He cast a suggestive glance at Natasha, his lips oozing with blood, his slight nod adding to the s

They were different people.In a flash, Natasha instinctively pushed him away.She stood up straight, her tone serious as she said, "Joshua, please behave yourself." Her gentle fingers brushed against Joshua's shirt, seemingly carrying her fresh fragrance with it.The sudden push caught Joshua off guard.Looking up, he found Natasha wanting to keep her distance from him as if he were a ferocious beast.This look even made Joshua doubt himself. Was he that bad to warrant such a reaction from her?Before he could come to a conclusion, Natasha had already picked up her bag, seemingly ready to leave."If Mr. Grayson has nothing else to do today, I'll be taking my leave first."Joshua's behavior just now caught her off guard.Anyway, from the looks of it, he probably wouldn't agree to a divorce.Since Joshua had made up his mind, it was pointless for her to linger here. It was better to go home and avoid hearing any more of Joshua's "seductive" words."Wait," Joshua called out

Joshua's tone sounded casual and his expression indifferent, as if discussing something unrelated to him. Yet, it gave the impression that he was talking about his own affairs."Is it worth it?" Natasha murmured, repeating the question.Perhaps because Joshua exuded a melancholic air, Natasha stopped in her tracks and earnestly answered the question. "If this mother is willing to do it, then it must be worth it."Upon hearing this, Joshua looked at her, his melancholy seeming to deepen."Is that so? Do you also think that everything this mother does is worth it?"The sorrowful expression in his eyes seemed so thick that it was unbreakable.Natasha was surprised to see Joshua like this. She didn't understand why Joshua had suddenly changed."A parent's love for their child involves careful planning. Every mother who selflessly sacrifices for her child is great…"Natasha considered her tone carefully. "A mother who wholeheartedly loves her child would do this, wouldn't she?"Bef

She was trying hard to change the subject.But Joshua looked at the dish, his mind filled with the image of Jacob's face and the various rejections he had faced during his youth.This made him very uncomfortable."I won't eat it. Take it away," Joshua said coldly with disdain."This dish… actually tastes very good. You can try it. Don't have a prejudice against it." Natasha tried to calm Joshua's mood.But he clearly had little patience. He roared angrily, "Take it away!""I don't want to see this dish!"The sound made Natasha's hand tremble as she held the plate."Alright, alright, I'll take it away. Why are you so fierce?" Natasha bit her lip, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her rising anger, and then withdrew the dish of delicious cheese curds."Then have some other dishes." She gestured to the several dishes on the table.But unexpectedly, Joshua's face turned even worse. His gaze swept over the dishes on the table, his brows deeply furrowed, looking very dissati
