Chapter 1257


    Chapter 1257 Reunited Once More


    As Shane walked, he studied his surroundings.


    Despite having seen the entire ind through the camera mounted on the mechanical bee, there were


    still subtle differences between the images from the camera and everything he beheld with his own eyes.


    Soon, he stepped into the vi.


    The vi wasn’t particrly opulent, but it was considered top-notch.


    Indeed, Natalie didn’t suffer much while living here. But then, this also proves that Sean’s feelings for her


    are really deep-seated.


    At that thought, Shane’s entire face darkened.


    That was only natural, for no man would remain indifferent in the face of another man coveting his wife


    so much.


    He went to the third floor and arrived before Natalie’s room door in no time.


    Natalie had shown him her room via the bee earlier, so he found the room right away.


    He lifted his hand and knocked on the door.

    On the other side of the door, Natalie’s face lit up with joy when she heard the knocking. She swiftly


    raced over to the door and moved the couch awayboriously before opening the door.


    Her eyes turned red-rimmed right then and there as she gazed at the man before her. She abruptly threw


    herself into his arms.


    The man stumbled back a step at the impact. Subsequently, he hugged her tightly and buried his head in


    her neck. “Honey, I’m here to pick you up.”


    “I know, I know.” Natalie nodded fervently, her voice choked.


    He’s here! He has finally appeared right in front of me. Besides, I now get to embrace him. The familiar


    minty fragrance wafting off him and his familiar warmth have convinced me that he has truly found me!


    Right that moment, she dropped all her guard and defensespletely, bursting into tears. She wailed


    even louder than when she sessfully contacted Shane back then.


    Shane knew that she had been scared witless throughout her captivity. Not only was she taken and


    brought to the ind alone, but she even had to face Sean’s constant harassment and Jacqueline’s


    perpetual threat. She had sacrificed far too much for the sake of protecting herself.


    She was a weak and defenseless woman, but she was forced to use a vase and a knife as weapons.


    Nevertheless, he also believed that she would be even stronger after her experience this time.


    He hugged her lightly and patted her on the back, soothing her turbulent emotions soundlessly.


    asionally, he would even dip his head and kiss her forehead and hair.


    Natalie’s emotions gradually calmed, and her sobs slowly ceased.


    Raising her head, she wiped her tears and shed him an embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry, Shane. Do I


    look ugly after crying so much?”


    “Not at all. To me, you’re always beautiful.” Shane lowered his head and looked at her with undisguised


    distress and guilt in his eyes. “You’ve lost weight.”


    Although she didn’t suffer any hardships there, she had truly lost weight.


    The pressure within her and her foul mood were enough to have her lose weight no matter how good the


    food was.


    “I’m sorry. It was my negligence. If I had gone with you back then, perhaps you wouldn’t have been taken


    by Sean,” Shane murmured guiltily.


    In response, Natalie shook her head. “No, it wasn’t your fault. I’m an adult, so you’re not obliged to watch


    over me every second of every day even though you’re my husband. Apart from his insidiousness and


    craftiness, it was also my carelessness that led to me being taken. It had nothing to do with you, and you


    did nothing wrong. I was the one at fault. It was me who caused you to worry. I’m sorry, Darling,” she


    apologized while grasping his arm.


    Lifting her chin, Shane wiped off the vestiges of tears at the corners of her eyes and kissed her eyes


    gently.


    Following that, Natalie closed her eyes.


    In the next second, Shane’s lips left her eyes. His gaze traveled downward and stilled on her lips. Then,


    he dipped his head and captured her lips.


    Natalie was stunned for a moment. When she had gathered her wits about her, she hooked her arms


    around his neck and responded to the kiss.


    Sensing her participation, Shane kissed her even more forcefully and domineeringly.


    Not to be outdone, Natalie likewise kissed him back forcefully.


    Shane’s kiss carried intense longing and jubnce for having found a long-lost treasure. The same


    applied to Natalie.


    They both wanted to obtain each other, wanting the other to meld into themselves.


    It was as though that was the only way to prove that they had truly reunited once more.
