Silas swiftly handed over the bag in his hand. “Here!”

Reaching out, Shane took it before asking, “Was there anything usual last night?”

Aware that he wanted to know whether Sean returned last night, Silas shook his head. “No, there was nothing unusual. The radar on our cruise ship didn't detect the presence of a helicopter either, so Sean didn't approach the island last night.”

Shane grunted in acknowledgment before shutting the door. Then, he whirled around and headed toward the bathroom.

By the time he finished showering, ten minutes had already passed.

He changed into a fresh set of clothes before exiting the bathroom. He proceeded to walk over to the side of the bed and bent down slightly, patting Natalie's exposed shoulder gently. “Wake up.”

“Ugh...” A frown marred Natalie's face. Subsequently, she slowly opened her eyes. The moment she glimpsed the man's countenance, a smile bloomed on her face. “Good morning, Darling.”

“Good morning. Hurry up and wake up. It's time for breakfast.” Shane straightened.

Yawning, Natalie rubbed her eyes and extended a hand at him. “Pull me up.”

Shane gave a low chuckle before reaching out and pulling her up.
