Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264“No. You're not scary at all. Besides, I support you. If you're a scary person, that makes me one too,
doesn't it? Two scary people together... Now, isn't that a perfect match!” Natalie answered, chuckling
softly.
Shane's thin lips curved into a smile. “Hmm, you're right.”
“Let's go back outside. It isn't well-ventilated in here. Now that I've seen Jacqueline's miserable state,
the rest can wait until she has regained consciousness,” said Natalie.
Shane wrapped an arm around her waist and led her out without a word of protest.
Over the next two days, there was still no news of Sean returning to the villa.
That made Natalie wonder whether Sean left because he knew about Shane's arrival.
Gradually, Shane also started sharing the same suspicion.
After all, it has been two days without any news about Sean. He hasn't even called Jacqueline's phone.
They've been colluding for so long that he would surely contact her if anything happened. But we
haven't heard anything at all. Could it be that he already knows we have Jacqueline? Is that why he
hasn't tried to get in touch with her?
“Mr. Thompson, why don't we return home?” Silas suggested.
Shane pursed his thin lips. “Has Connor gone back?”
“Yes. Connor has boarded the plane with Ms. Rivers. They'll probably reach J City by tonight.”
Since Joyce and the others knew that Natalie had been found, naturally, they did not intend to stay in
that foreign country any longer. Hence, they had returned with Connor.After all, there was nowhere safer than home.
Shane turned to Natalie and asked, “What about you? Do you feel like going back now?”
Natalie looked up from the tablet. “Of course. I miss Connor and Sharon.”
“Very well. We'll return home first. However, we still need some people here. Don't withdraw the men at
the villa yet. Let them continue keeping watch for some time to monitor whether Sean returns. If he still
doesn't show up, we'll withdraw them.” As Shane spoke, his eyes narrowed angrily.
Silas nodded. “Understood. That sounds like a good plan. I'll go and issue the orders.”
He turned and left, leaving Natalie and Shane alone under the beach umbrella on the deck.
Shane gazed at Natalie with an apologetic look in his amber eyes. “I'm sorry. I didn't manage to give
you the perfect honeymoon this time.”
Setting aside her glass of juice, Natalie smiled and said, “That's all right. It's not your fault. None of us
would've expected something like this to happen. Besides, we can have our honeymoon anytime. Even
if it's ruined this time, we can have another one.”
Shane took her hand and pulled her into his embrace. “Okay. I'll make it up to you next time.”
Natalie murmured an acknowledgment and gave a slight nod as she leaned against his shoulder. Then,
she asked, “When are we leaving?”
“Tonight. That way, we'll arrive during the daytime,” Shane replied as he stroked her silky smooth hair.
Her hair is much longer now. She cut it to a shoulder-length while pregnant with Anders. But now, it's
already way past her shoulders.
“All right. Tonight, then,” Natalie said, leaning in closer to make it easier for him to stroke her hair.At that moment, Silas suddenly approached them and said in a voice tinged with excitement, “Good
news, Mr. Thompson! Our radars have detected a helicopter flying toward the island. We think it's
Sean.”
Natalie straightened her back when she heard that. “Really?”
Silas nodded. “It should be him.”
Shane's eyes narrowed. “Excellent. Send word to the bodyguards at the villa. We mustn't give anything
away.”
“Yes, sir,” Silas responded with a nod. He held up his wireless intercom and notified those at the villa as
instructed.
When the men at the villa learned of what was happening, they swiftly hid in various corners around the
residence, concealing their presence.
Soon, a helicopter made a vertical descent and landed on the helipad behind the villa.
Then, Sean disembarked from the helicopter. As he stood on the helipad and gazed at the villa, for
some reason, he had an unsettling feeling.
The helicopter pilot said to Sean, “I'll be off then, sir.”
