Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 69

The moment Natasha saw Liana's smile, she knew there was no way the latter hadn't been up to something.

But time was tight, and there was no room for delay. Thus, Natasha loaded the luggage she'd packed into the car.

Xavier arrived with just a backpack and nothing else.

"Traveling light, huh?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.

The backpack wasn't big, but somehow, he'd fit everything he needed inside.

Having a car definitely made things easier. Xavier had bought it two years ago, but it had been sitting untouched in the campus parking lot until now.

"This trip isn't just for the academic conference. We're also visiting the clinical research lab in Fansville," he said.

Natasha had only learned the full itinerary at the last minute. But since she was going with a group, she wasn't too worried about keeping track of time.

They drove for two hours before arriving at their destination.

It was Natasha's first time at this port, and the sight of thousands of ships docked along the harbor took her by surprise.

It was overwhelming. For a moment, she completely forgot why she was even there. That was until Xavier finished unloading the luggage from the car and walked over to her.

"The ships are docked at the port. I can't drive any further, so we'll have to walk from here."

He had two big bags slung over his shoulders and was pulling a large and a small suitcase in each hand.

"Let me take some," Natasha offered, feeling a little guilty. All the bags were hers, so she couldn't just let him carry everything.

She had just taken two of the bags from him when a man dressed like a ferry service worker approached, pushing a cart.

"Are you Ms. Bradley, here for the academic conference? You can load your luggage onto the cart, and I'll take you both over."

Natasha and Xavier exchanged a glance, then loaded all the luggage onto the cart.
