Chapter 238


    Inconvenience?


    This coffee mug looks so luxurious. It’s a pleasure for me to use it.


    “Alright, I understand.” Natalie nodded and took the coffee mug from her hands.


    The air stewardess heaved a sigh of relief inconspicuously and gave her a slice of cake.


    Before Natalie could ask why, she pushed the cart away and left.


    Natalie stared at the cup of coffee and slice of cake in front of her, feeling puzzled. If the air stewardess


    gave her a coffee mug because they ran out of paper cups, she could still understand.


    However, this slice of cake was evidently very expensive. Only then did she realize that someone had


    specially prepared the coffee and cake for her. It was impossible for the ne to offer such services.


    She already had an inkling of who that mysterious person was. This cake was identical to the one she


    had eaten in Shane’s office. Hence, he was probably on this ne as well.


    Why did he specially order me coffee and cake?


    Feeling puzzled, Natalie decided to stop mulling over it. She picked up her fork and shoved some cake


    into her mouth. The familiar taste made her even more certain that it was from Shane.


    Stanley was woken up by the sweet fragrance of the cake. He took off his sleep mask and stared at


    Natalie, who was happily eating the cake, in surprise. “Why is there a ck forest cake in the ne?”


    Not keeping it a secret, Natalie shed him a grin and replied, “Mr. Shane gave it to me.”


    “Shane?” Stanley, who was not wearing his spectacles, narrowed his eyes.


    Natalie nodded. “Yeah.”


    A cold gleam appeared in his eyes. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stood up. “I’m going to the


    washroom.”


    “Okay.” Natalie moved away to let him get out.


    After he left, she sat back down.


    However, she didn’t notice that instead of heading to the washroom, Stanley walked straight into the


    first-ss cabin.


    After a long while, he still had not returned. Confused, Natalie was about to ask the air stewardess


    about it when the ne suddenly shook.


    Natalie screamed instinctively.


    Then, she heard an announcement saying that the ne had encountered some turbulence. It would


    be fine after the turbulence was over.


    However, the ne had not stopped shaking even after a few minutes had passed. Instead, it shook


    even more violently. The piercing noises of the turbulence made her very uneasy.


    Instantly, everyone in the ne became anxious and scared.


    As Natalie was sitting alone on her seat, while Stanley was nowhere to be seen, she could not help but


    feel even more afraid.


    However, at that moment, a man stumbled toward her while holding onto the seats. She could smell a


    faint minty fragrance on his body. He sat down beside her and pulled her into this arms. “Don’t be


    scared!”


    “Mr. Shane?” Natalie gazed at him through watery eyes.


    He replied, “It’s me.”


    “Why did youe here?” asked Natalie as she bit her lips.


    Shane was about to reply when a piercing sound, which was louder than the previous one, echoed


    across the cabin.


    Feeling her eardrums ache slightly, Natalie could not help but cover her ears.


    However, it only offered a temporary relief—she could still hear the ear-splitting noise.


    When Shane noticed the painful look on her face, he pursed his lips. Enduring the ringing in his


    eardrums, he took off his coat and wrapped it around his head. Then, he ced his hands over his coat


    and her hands, trying to shield her from the noise.

    Natalie could barely hear the noise anymore. Her tensed expression also started to rx gradually.


    She lifted her head and nced at Shane. Although he was in great difort by the noise, he was


    still protecting her. Feeling moved by his actions, she felt tears brimming in her eyes.


    “Mr. Shane...” Natalie called out to him softly, almost choking on her tears.


    Although all Shane could hear was the ringing in his ears, he could still figure out what she said


    through reading her lips.


    “Does it still hurt?” Afraid that she could not hear, Shane frowned and raised his voice.


    Natalie shook her head and replied loudly, “Not anymore!”


    Shane nodded after hearing what she said.


    Soon, the noise faded, but the ne was still shaking violently.
