After Dylan left grumbling, Alexei escorted Natasha back to the room where she had rested before dinner.

Perhaps concerned she was startled, he remained in the room after she came out from her

shower.

Using his scratched arms, he took the towel to dry her hair, then said gently, “I still have some matters to attend to. You can go to sleep first.”

Because of tonight’s many twists and turns, Natasha, who developed a bit of separation anxiety, sat on the sofa and looked up at him.

She asked, “Are you going to handle Lane’s matter? I’ll come with you.”

Alexei paused.

Although he knew she wasn’t a timid person, he didn’t want her to witness certain things firsthand. Those people were unworthy of her sight.

Natasha suddenly thought of something and released his hand.

She said, “Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I’ll wait for you.”

Alexei gently touched her face, which was warm again after her hot bath. “Get some rest,” he said.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

He added, “When you wake up, we’ll be home.”

‘I underestimated you.” Lane looked at Alexei sitting in front of her and let out a self- deprecating laugh.

She harbored delusive thoughts after thinking he was someone she could cross.

Hearing her resounding defense and seeing her angry eyes, Alexei smiled softly.

That thrilling, numbing sensation shot from his heart all the way to his head.

The only other time in his life he had felt such pleasure was an hour ago when he kissed her.

When he saw Natasha, holding shattered glass and threatening to stab Lane’s eyes, demanding his whereabouts, Alexei’s eyes gleamed with a mad brilliance.
