In a way, Sean was even promoting a fair duel.

“H-He...” Natalie sobbed. She wanted to curse Sean, but with her upbringing, she couldn't bring herself to say anything offensive.

Shane understood her intention. He chuckled and pulled her into his arms.

She hit his back angrily. “How dare you laugh. I can't believe you're still so upbeat when Sean aims to take your life.”

She grew more furious as she spoke. In the end, she couldn't stop herself from crying. Large drops of tears streamed down her cheeks, giving her a pitiful appearance.

His heart throbbed in agony as he took in her demeanor.

Shane freed an arm, which was wrapped around her waist, to wipe her tears.

However, he couldn't keep up as her tears continued to gush out like water from a broken dam.

Having no other choice, he could only lift his chin and kiss her eyes, licking away every drop of tears she shed.

Her tears tasted a little salty and also slightly bitter.

Natalie was stunned. She didn't expect him to wipe her tears using that method. All of a sudden, she felt too embarrassed to continue crying.

After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to keep drinking her tears.

With that thought in her mind, she took a deep breath and forced herself to stop weeping.

After some time, she finally stopped wailing and shedding tears.

Only after sensing that did Shane pull away from her. He laughed quietly at the sight of her red, puffy eyes. “Have you finally decided to stop crying?”

She snorted in response instead of answering him.

He stroked her hair. “All right. I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine now, aren't I?”

“You may be fine now, but who knows what will happen in the future?” She punched his chest. “The duel between you and Sean is inevitable. Besides, Sean is cunning and devious. What if—”

“That won't happen.” He kissed her forehead. “I know you want to say that Sean is a cunning and devious person, and what if I fall into one of his traps and lose my life, right?”

She snorted, indirectly confirming that was indeed her concern.

He flashed a faint smile. “Rest assured. That'll never happen. Don't you have faith in me?”

“I do, but as I mentioned, he's sly and conniving. We can't be too careful. What if you really... What will our children and I do?” She bit her lip.

She was genuinely afraid something bad might happen to him.
