“Never. I'll never drop you even if it means taking the brunt of the fall myself.” Shane pecked the corner of Natalie's
mouth before carrying her down the stairs.
When they reached the living room, Natalie spotted the bodyguards stationed at every corner on the first floor and
was inexorably startled. “What's going on here, Shane?”
“This is a precaution. If Sean returns, they can seize him immediately,” Shane explained.
Understanding dawned upon Natalie at once. “I see. So, the cruise ship has been piloted away and is no longer
outside, yes?”
“How smart!” Shane lauded.
In response, Natalie giggled. “Of course! If I weren't smart, I wouldn't be worthy of you. Am I not right?”
Shane nodded in affirmation. “Yup, that's right! Let's have breakfast first.”
He proceeded to place her onto a chair.
Staring at the breakfast fare that looked rather dismal in front of her, Natalie couldn't help quirking an eyebrow.
“Who made this?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane took his seat and cast his gaze at Silas.
At that moment, Silas was standing at the side with an apron on him. Thus, it went without saying that he was the
person who prepared breakfast.
“You cooked this, Mr. Campbell?” Natalie exclaimed.
Silas flashed her an embarrassed smile and admitted, “I was indeed the one who cooked it, madam. However, I'm
not all that good at cooking. These bodyguards can't cook either. Having no other choice, I specially went online
and searched for breakfast recipes. This is how the food turned out in the end. Please don't disdain it, Mr. Shane,
madam. I woke up at the crack of dawn to make breakfast, and this is already the best after multiple failed
attempts. I've sampled it, and while it doesn't look impressive and merely tastes average, it isn't horrible. As such,
you can try some.”
Hearing his shy yet expectant remark, Natalie chortled softly. “Sure! I'll try some, then.”
After saying that, she picked up her fork and took a bite of the food. Her brows then quirked slightly.
Seeing that, Shane took the fork out of her hand. “Don't force yourself if it tastes awful.”
“No, it's not bad.” Nodding, Natalie added, “While it doesn't taste superb, it's still passable. Try some, Shane.”
As she didn't seem to be lying, Shane hesitated for two seconds before he picked up the fork and tried a bite of the
food, only to discover that it was indeed passable.
Upon seeing that both of them were eating his cooking, Silas breathed a sigh of relief and grinned widely. “Phew!
I'm glad you don't disdain my cooking, Mr. Shane, madam.”
“Of course not! It's pretty good. Thank you for the breakfast, Mr. Campbell!” Natalie gushed.
Although Shane didn't say anything, he shared her sentiments.
Silas touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. “You're welcome. This is my job as a subordinate, after all.”
“When we go back this time, I'll triple your bonus.” Shane picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Well, this coffee is the best among the breakfast spread here!
All at once, Silas' eyes lit up. “Thank you, Mr. Shane!”
With a triple bonus, that would be over three million! How wonderful! I'm getting over three million just because I
made breakfast. This money is simply a windfall! Heh!
At the sight of the silly smile on his face, Natalie couldn't help chuckling alongside him. Then, she lowered her head
and continued eating breakfast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was really famished. Although the housekeeper had been cooking lavish spreads in the past few days, her
appetite had always been lacking while she was there. During every meal, she could only stomach a third of her
usual portion before she was full and couldn't eat anymore.
With Shane by her side then, she was at ease. Despite the plain taste of the breakfast fare, she found it very much
delicious. When they had finished eating breakfast, Natalie and Shane went on board the cruise ship. They had
planned to stay on the cruise ship henceforth instead of returning to the villa.
As for the villa, it was sufficient to have the bodyguards staying to keep watch.
Anyway, their next task was to wait for Sean's return and seize him in one fell swoop. There was no use staying on
the island, so it was better for her to just move to the cruise ship.
After all, the cruise ship was Shane's territory. In other words, it was also hers. And being in one own's territory was
far better than someone else's territory.
“How's Jacqueline now, Darling?” Natalie inquired as she studied the cruise ship.
Shane held her hand. “I'm not sure for the time being. Do you want to take a look at her?”
“Sure.” Natalie nodded.
I want to go and take a look at her to see how exactly she's faring right now.
Thus, Shane headed toward the cruise ship's cargo hold while dragging her along.
