“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.

She had just reached the bed when Shane grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

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

Natalie saw the tiredness on his face and nodded obediently. She stayed in his arm and closed her eyes.

They were exhausted after an eventful night and soon fell asleep.

They slept until the following noon when Silas' phone call woke Shane up.

Shane frowned and opened his eyes. He looked at Natalie in his arms and carefully removed her hands from his waist before reaching for the cell phone at the nightstand.
