In a way, Sean was even promoting a fair duel.

“H-He...” Natalie sobbed. She wanted to curse Sean, but with her upbringing, she couldn't

bring herself to say anything offensive.

Shane understood her intention. He chuckled and pulled her into his arms.

She hit his back angrily. “How dare you laugh. I can't believe you're still so upbeat when

Sean aims to take your life.”

She grew more furious as she spoke. In the end, she couldn't stop herself from crying.

Large drops of tears streamed down her cheeks, giving her a pitiful appearance.

His heart throbbed in agony as he took in her demeanor.

Shane freed an arm, which was wrapped around her waist, to wipe her tears.

However, he couldn't keep up as her tears continued to gush out like water from a broken

dam.

Having no other choice, he could only lift his chin and kiss her eyes, licking away every

drop of tears she shed.

Her tears tasted a little salty and also slightly bitter.

Natalie was stunned. She didn't expect him to wipe her tears using that method. All of a

sudden, she felt too embarrassed to continue crying.

After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to keep drinking her tears.

With that thought in her mind, she took a deep breath and forced herself to stop weeping.

After some time, she finally stopped wailing and shedding tears.

Only after sensing that did Shane pull away from her. He laughed quietly at the sight of

her red, puffy eyes. “Have you finally decided to stop crying?”

She snorted in response instead of answering him.

He stroked her hair. “All right. I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine now, aren't I?”

“You may be fine now, but who knows what will happen in the future?” She punched his

chest. “The duel between you and Sean is inevitable. Besides, Sean is cunning and

devious. What if—”

“That won't happen.” He kissed her forehead. “I know you want to say that Sean is a

cunning and devious person, and what if I fall into one of his traps and lose my life, right?”

She snorted, indirectly confirming that was indeed her concern.

He flashed a faint smile. “Rest assured. That'll never happen. Don't you have faith in me?”

“I do, but as I mentioned, he's sly and conniving. We can't be too careful. What if you

really... What will our children and I do?” She bit her lip.

She was genuinely afraid something bad might happen to him.

She had lost her mother and was left with only a brother and her three children, so she

didn't want to lose her husband.

Natalie hoped Shane would be safe and sound.

Naturally, he could tell she was worried about him. He felt warmth spreading in his chest,

pulling her into his embrace again. “I got it, but I promise you I'll be safe. I will put my

guard up against Sean and will return to you and the children's side alive and unharmed.

Watching him solemnly making that vow, she gradually pulled herself together and

sniffled. “What good is a promise now? What I care for is the future outcome.”

He bore his eyes into hers and uttered with all seriousness, “I know. I'm just reassuring

you now. Still, I will come back. This is my promise to you.”

She wiped the corner of her eyes. “Fine. I'll believe you.”

She had no choice but to trust him.

The final showdown had yet to arrive, but she was powerless to stop it from happening,

which meant there wasn't anything she could do except to pray for him and cheer him on

from behind.

“Shane, remember what you said. You must win against Sean in this duel and return

unscathed. Otherwise, I'll take the three kids with me and marry another man, allowing

someone else to become the children's father. I believe that man will be delighted to hear

the children of Thompson Group's chairman addressing him as their daddy,” she warned

him while riveting her eyes on him.
