Chapter 1237 She Has Been Training
If Natalie were not on those deserted islands and private islands, she might be on one of those undocumented islands.
“Yes, sir. I’ll make the arrangements immediately.” With that, Silas turned to head back to the ship.
Shane then fished out a box of cigarettes and lit one up.
The thick white smoke filled the air and shrouded Shane’s handsome face, hiding his expressions at the same time.
Since Natalie was taken away, he had smoked through practically two packs each day. That helped to numb himself and for him to remain calm.
Otherwise, he would have gone completely crazy.
Flicking the ash away, Shane mumbled in the ocean breeze, “Wait for me, Natalie. I’ll definitely bring you home. I’m still waiting for you to nag me about quitting smoking.”
On the island, Natalie was still awake. She was sitting on the hanging chair on the balcony while staring at the parking apron.
Sean was still not back.
Is he not planning to come back tonight?
Suddenly, there was a rustle of movements downstairs.
Natalie pricked her ears up and realized it was Jacqueline who was yelling furiously, “Let me out, Marina! Did you hear me? Let me out!”
Marina was the housekeeper.
Natalie raised her eyebrows.
Of all times, Jacqueline is screaming to be let out of the room now?
She had been locked in the room since the morning and there was no sound from her asking to be released.
Why would she ask to be let out now?
Natalie did not know what had happened to Jacqueline. She then walked out of her room and decided to go downstairs to search for an opportunity to grab the cell phone.
As she walked downstairs, she met the housekeeper who was coming up.
The housekeeper acknowledged Natalie, “Are you not resting yet, madam?”
“I couldn’t sleep.” Natalie shook her head in reply.
With a seemingly understanding look, the housekeeper asked, “Did that person downstairs disturb you? If so, I’ll go and get her to shut up!”
“No need, I was just curious and merely came down to see what the ruckus was all about.” Natalie pointed at Jacqueline’s door.
The housekeeper replied, “I’m not too sure about the details either. I am on my way there and take a look.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Let’s go together then,” Natalie said.
The housekeeper looked rather conflicted. “It may not be a good idea, madam. What if she hurts you?”
“No worries about that. I am with you and I believe that you will protect me, right?” Natalie shot a meaningful look at her.
The housekeeper finally nodded when she saw Natalie’s trust in her. “All right then. Please walk behind me and don’t get too close to her, madam. She has been training for a while and you are definitely no match for her.”
Training again?
Natalie bit her lips.
No wonder there was an air about her fists this morning!
So that’s what happened!
She had never heard about Jacqueline undergoing any training, so it seemed like she had only begun that training these few months with Sean.
Natalie then nodded. “All right, I won’t be too far away from you.”
“That’s good.” the housekeeper was more relaxed now.
Then, the two of them approached Jacqueline’s door.
Natalie’s eyes darkened as she saw the housekeeper take out a key from her pocket.
Indeed, it was the housekeeper who had locked this door. She could only get the key from the housekeeper if she wanted to go in.
However, the housekeeper would never give her the key as she was so against her being in contact with Jacqueline. In fact, she might be suspicious of Natalie’s intentions the moment she asked for the key.
Silently, Natalie watched the housekeeper open the door.
As the door opened, they walked in.
The light was on in the room and Jacqueline was seated on the floor amidst a complete mess. Clothes, pillows, everything was strewn messily on the floor. Even Jacqueline herself looked disheveled and there was even a red mark on her forehead.
What is going on? Who hit her?
“Miss, what happened to you?” the housekeeper asked.
Natalie remained silent behind her and merely stared at Jacqueline.
For some reason, she felt that there was something wrong with Jacqueline’s blank face.
