“It's not the right time yet. You know how Jackson is now. If I told him what she said, he would find out Jacqueline knew he loved her and regretted not knowing about it sooner. Judging by Jackson's behavior, he would rush to be with her. That is why I can't tell him now.” Shane walked to the bed and lay under the blanket.

Natalie nodded. “You're right.”

“That's enough. Let's not talk about them anymore. Come here and sleep.” Shane patted the space beside him, indicating for Natalie to go over.

Natalie smiled and walked to the bed.

“Now, sleep.” Shane covered the two of them with a blanket. He hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.
