Chapter 1055 The Probing Looks Of The Two Men

On the way to the restaurant, Yandel was busy observing Bastien from the rearview mirror while driving. Bastien was dressed in a simple shirt. He seemed to be taking a rest as his eyes were half-closed. However, the lofty aura within him could not be hidden.

Although the king had never announced who the crown prince was to the public, Bastien had the most supporters. A man like him was destined to stand at the peak of power even if he could not reach the highest position in Loang.

Yandel was afraid that Natalie would get involved in a whirlpool of conflict if Bastien approached her with his hidden identity. He fell into deep thought when he stopped the car at a red light.

At that moment, Bastien slowly opened his eyes, and he exchanged gazes with Yandel.

Bastien’s eyes were completely different from when they looked at Natalie just now. The way he looked at Yandel was as though he was giving him a warning. Yandel, who was unprepared, shuddered as he looked into Bastien’s eyes.

Yandel suddenly slammed his foot against the accelerator, and the car almost crossed the pedestrian crossing.

Natalie’s body jerked forward. She turned to look at Yandel. “Yandel, what’s wrong with you today?”

Yandel dared not tell Natalie the reason he felt troubled as Bastien was sitting right behind him. He chuckled dryly and said, “I’m sorry, Boss. I was distracted just now.”

Natalie frowned. “Are you too tired from work? Do you want me to drive?”

“It’s fine.”

“Okay. If you feel distracted again, you must let me know. I can drive.”

“Understood.”

Bastien listened to their conversation while resting his head on one hand.

He was unsure if he admired her because of her impressive thinking skills, or that her thinking skills were impressive because of his admiration toward her. Either way, he was certain that his thoughts about this woman were affirmed now.

He had seen a lot of young ladies from prominent families.

All of these ladies seemed to have been trained to be elegant in the same way. All of them looked no different from one another.

Bastien could only remember which family they were from. However, he could never remember their names.

Along the way, apart from Natalie, who remained calm, Bastien and Yandel seemed to have different thoughts running through their minds.

Considering Bastien’s identity, Yandel deliberately chose a high-end restaurant and booked a private room.

The three took their seats respectively.

Usually, Yandel would order Natalie’s favorite dishes straight away. Yet this time, Natalie handed the menu to Bastien. “Mr. Nine, I’ve always wanted to replace an opportunity to thank you for saving me in Chanaea. So, it’s my treat today. Let me buy you dinner to return the favor. Here, have a look at the menu.”

Bastien took the menu and quickly ordered a few dishes.

Natalie went to the restroom before the dishes were served.

There were only Yandel and Bastien left in the huge private room.

Bastien took a sip of his coffee and looked at Yandel. “You’re aware of my real identity, aren’t you?”

Yandel wanted to deny that but felt that his denial would be hard to believe. Hence, he admitted, “Yes, Prince Jonathan. I’m aware of your identity.”

“I knew it.”

Yandel stared at Bastien and asked, “Prince Jonathan, Natalie is just an ordinary businesswoman. I don’t understand why you want to approach her again and again…”

Here, Yandel paused and added, “I don’t think you and Natalie should cross paths. There’s also no need for you to approach her in this way.”

Yandel’s words were actually somewhat offensive.

But for the sake of protecting Natalie, he could not be bothered about that.

For a long time, Natalie had become the most important person in his life. He could sacrifice anything just to ensure that she was not hurt.
