Chapter 1312

A Lovestruck Man

As for the car he drove there, he had no choice but to ask someone to send it back the next day.

It was already three o’clock in the morning when Shane returned to Thompson villa.

He rubbed his sore temple and dragged his feet upstairs.

Then, he headed to his bedroom and was about to open the door when it suddenly opened by itself.

Natalie appeared from behind the door. “You’re back?”

Shane was surprised to see her. “Why are you still up?”

“I was waiting for you.” Natalie held his hand and pulled him into the bedroom before closing the door
behind them.

Shane frowned disapprovingly. “I’ve told you to sleep and not wait for me. Why didn’t you listen to me?”

Since Shane felt exhausted and sleepy after his trip, he believed she was tired too.



Natalie helped him to take off his jacket. “I wanted to sleep too, but I couldn’t fall asleep. So, I drew a
blueprint while waiting for you.”

Shane looked at her and asked, “What is bothering you that you can’t sleep?”

Natalie folded his jacket neatly and set it aside. Then, she smiled and replied, “I was worried about you.
You went out in the middle of the night.”



Shane felt warmed hearing how concerned she was. “There is no need to worry about me. After all, I am
a grown man…”

“Danger could befall anyone. While ordinary thugs would not dare to go against you, what about Sean?”
Natalie looked at him. “Don’t forget. Sean is still at large.” Shane fell silent after hearing that. A few
seconds later, he caressed her hair and said apologetically, “I understand. I will try not to go out late and
make you worry.”

“That’s much better.” Natalie smiled and poured Shane a cup of warm drink. “Please have some hot
chocolate. I asked Mrs. Wilson to prepare this a while ago and kept it in a thermos. It is still warm. Since
it is cold outside, you should drink something hot to warm up.”

“Sure.” Shane accepted the cup of hot chocolate.

In actuality, he did not like sweet drinks, but it was something she prepared for him, so he did not refuse
it.

“Oh, how was Dr. Baker?” Natalie asked after taking a seat beside Shane.

Shane narrowed his eyes and answered mockingly, “He wishes to die with her.”

“What?” Natalie frowned. “He… he still loves Jacqueline so much that he wishes to die. Did you manage
to convince him to live?”

“I don’t know. I called Dr. Baker’s parents to come over. If he refuses to listen to his parents, there is
nothing else we can do.” Shane finished the hot chocolate and placed the cup on the coffee table. Then,
he got up and headed to the bathroom.

Natalie looked at the empty cup and sighed.

She did not know Jackson had fallen so deeply in love.



Although she had always known that Jackson was romantic, she did not expect his lovesickness to be
this bad.

Previously, Natalie heard Jackson telling Jacqueline that he did not love Jacqueline anymore and would
never see her again. At that time, Natalie was impressed and thought he had finally come to his senses.

After all, when Jackson released Jacqueline, Natalie had suspected that Jackson’s mind was clouded by
love. Therefore, she thought Jackson finally freed himself when he declared that he did not love
Jacqueline. Natalie was even proud of him.

However, Jackson’s current behavior disappointed her.

She had seen other lovestruck people before. However, it was the first time she saw a man that
obsessed with love.

On the other hand, it meant that Jackson truly loved Jacqueline.

Unfortunately, Jacqueline did not cherish his love.

Of course, even if Jacqueline loved Jackson, they could never be together. After all, Jacqueline plotted to
kill Shane’s parents when she was only ten years old.

Therefore, Jacqueline was destined to end up the way she did.

Shane suddenly came out of the bathroom as Natalie was engrossed in her thoughts. He had changed
into a set of pajamas.

Natalie looked at him and asked, “Darling, didn’t Jacqueline have a message for Dr. Baker before she
died. Did you tell him?”

“No.” Shane shook his head.



Natalie was curious. “Why?”
