“It's not the right time yet. You know how Jackson is now. If I told him what she said, he would find out Jacqueline

knew he loved her and regretted not knowing about it sooner. Judging by Jackson's behavior, he would rush to be

with her. That is why I can't tell him now.” Shane walked to the bed and lay under the blanket.

Natalie nodded. “You're right.”

“That's enough. Let's not talk about them anymore. Come here and sleep.” Shane patted the space beside him,

indicating for Natalie to go over.

Natalie smiled and walked to the bed.

She had just reached the bed when Shane grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

“Now, sleep.” Shane covered the two of them with a blanket. He hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.

Natalie saw the tiredness on his face and nodded obediently. She stayed in his arm and closed her eyes.

They were exhausted after an eventful night and soon fell asleep.

They slept until the following noon when Silas' phone call woke Shane up.

Shane frowned and opened his eyes. He looked at Natalie in his arms and carefully removed her hands from his

waist before reaching for the cell phone at the nightstand.

However, he still woke Natalie despite moving as gently as he could.

After all, the phone was still ringing.

Natalie rubbed her eyes and said in a husky voice, “Darling, good morning.”

“Good morning. Did I wake you?” Shane asked gently.

Natalie shook her head. “No, it's about time for me to wake up. What time is it?”

Shane glanced at his cell phone. He raised his eyebrows and was silent for a few seconds before saying, “It's

eleven-thirty.”

“Eleven-thirty?” Natalie's mouth twitched, and she sat up immediately. “Did you say eleven-thirty?”

Shane grunted in affirmation but did not say anything.

Natalie slapped her forehead. “Why did I sleep so long. I told the office that I would go there for a meeting.”

“We slept late last night and were exhausted. That's why we overslept. Don't worry. You can go to the meeting

later.” Shane said calmly.

He had missed his meeting in the morning too.

Thus, he didn't have to answer the phone call to know why Silas called him.

Nevertheless, Shane answered the call.

As expected, Silas asked urgently, “Mr. Thompson, didn't you give instructions for a meeting in the morning? Why

aren't you here yet?”

Shane leaned against the headboard and pinched the bridge of his nose as he replied, “I overslept. Can you

postpone the meeting to two o'clock in the afternoon? Also, cancel any unimportant matters in my schedule in the

afternoon. If you can't cancel the matter, postpone them to another day.”

“Yes, understood.” Silas adjusted his glasses.

Then, Silas remembered something and said, “By the way, Prof. Baker and his wife brought Dr. Baker back to the

Baker residence by force. I believe they planned to lock him up for a long time.”

Shane was not surprised by this information.

Jackson kept wanting to die. Thus, that was the best his parents could do for now. They locked Jackson up to

prevent him from harming himself.

“Also, Prof. Baker wishes to see you. He wants to talk about Jacqueline,” Silas added.

Jackson's father probably wanted to know how Jacqueline died. It is understandable since the matter concerns his

son.

“Sure.” Shane had expected this and nodded in agreement. “Arrange our meeting at night.”

“Understood,” Silas replied.

Then, Shane hung up.

Natalie yawned and turned to him. “What's wrong?”

“Jackson's father wants to see me,” Shane answered.

Natalie nodded. “Since you have agreed, you should meet him.”

“Yes, I think so too. All right, I'll go and wash up.” Shane tossed his cell phone aside and pulled the blanket away to

get down.
