Chapter 1228 Hugged Her Tightly

As Shane was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door of his room on the cruise ship.

Pursing his lips, he lifted his head. “Come in.”

Silas pushed open the door and walked in. “Mr. Shane, one of the search and rescue vessels radioed back and reported no human life on one of the uninhabited islands.”

Shane’s eyes narrowed a fraction, and his gaze dimmed a shade. A long while passed before he murmured, “Got it. What about the rest of the uninhabited islands?”

“They’re still being checked out,” Silas answered.

Shane nodded in acknowledgment. “Okay, got it. Inform me immediately once there’s news.”

“Sure.” Silas nodded before he left the room.

Shane had long since braced himself for the news that there was no trace of Natalie on the first uninhabited island. After all, things couldn’t possibly be so smooth sailing that he would manage to find her on the first attempt.

Nonetheless, abject disappointment still swamped him when he heard that there was no trace of her on the first uninhabited island.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. He gazed out at the pitch-black night sky and the infinite sea, his thin lips pressed into a thin line.

Where are you, Natalie?

Meanwhile, on Sean’s private island, Natalie was also standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Her face was devoid of emotion as she looked at the seascape outside.

It’s been three days. I’ve been on this island for three days. I wonder how they’ve been faring in the past three days. Shane must be searching for me like crazy. Then, there’s Connor and Sharon.

Clutching the curtain at the side, she sniffed softly, her eyes red-rimmed as tears slid down her cheeks silently.

She was downright terrified right then, afraid that Sean would force himself on her at some point in time. Besides, there was the issue of Jacqueline.

Although Sean had said that she could do whatever she wanted to Jacqueline, promising that he wouldn’t help the latter, it was still Jacqueline’s territory here.

Hence, she might not necessarily succeed if she wanted to teach her a lesson.

Contrarily, it might be far easier for Jacqueline to flip the tables on her.

Therefore, she also had no idea when the woman might make a move against her.

“I miss you so much, Shane.” Lowering her head, Natalie started sobbing.

Behind her, the door abruptly swung open, and a tall figure crept in.

That person kept his footsteps very light, and she was engrossed in her longing for Shane and her children, so she didn’t notice someone approaching her from behind.

Only when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind and hugged her did she startle, snapping back to her senses. She hastily pried the hands away from her waist and sprinted to the side.

After doing that, she clenched her hands and glowered at Sean with wariness and fury in her eyes. “When did you come in?”

Sean looked at his hands regretfully.

Right then, he could still feel the soft sensation of hugging her earlier. He lifted his hands and took a sniff, inhaling the lingering scent on them. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He couldn’t resist inhaling deeply before sticking his hands into his pockets with reluctance written all over his face.

What a pity that she jolted back to her senses so quickly! I hadn’t even hugged her enough!

“I came in when you said you missed Shane.” Sean leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows and regarded Natalie with a half-smile.

At his answer, Natalie’s pupils constricted.

What? He actually came in at that time?

“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Biting her lip, she continued, “Even if this is your territory, I’m the one occupying this room now. You-”

Before she had even finished speaking, Sean cut her off. “As you said, this is my territory. In that case, I can go anywhere I want. Why should I knock? Nat, your remark wasn’t quite right.”

As he spoke, he sauntered toward her.

Natalie’s expression changed when she saw that. “Stop right there! Don’t come any closer!”

However, Sean turned a deaf ear to her and continued hemming her in.

Frowning deeply, Natalie decided to run out of the room.

Alas, Sean seemingly expected that. He strode over and grabbed her arm, yanking her back.

Following the sudden pull, Natalie tumbled right into his arms.

Sean naturally seized the opportunity and hugged her tightly.
