Shane removed his hands and Natalie also stopped covering her ears. Handing his coat back to him, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Shane.”
Shane muttered an acknowledgement as he put on the coat.
When Natalie saw that his seatbelt was unbuckled, her eyes widened. She quickly turned around and grabbed the seatbelt, planning to buckle it for him.
However, as the plane kept shaking, she could not buckle the seatbelts despite a few attempts. Hence, she started to panic.
Lowering his head and gazing at Natalie, who was leaning against his chest, a dangerous gleam entered his eyes. Then, he took the seat belt from her hands and said hoarsely, “I’ll do it myself. Just sit properly.”
“Okay.” Natalie did not think too much about it and sat back in her seat.
Shane sighed inconspicuously as he buckled his seat belt.
Natalie glanced at the dark clouds looming outside the window. “Mr. Shane, will something bad happen to the plane?”
Various images of the plane crashing down, exploding and other scenarios instantly surfaced in her mind.
She even thought that if the plane actually got into an accident, it was not too bad to die by his side.
“Don’t spout nonsense. It’s just a turbulence. Everything will be fine afterwards.” Shane passed her a sleep mask.
Confused, Natalie took it from his hands. “What…”
“If you’re really afraid, just cover your eyes. You won’t feel scared if you can’t see anything.”
His serious expression caused Natalie to burst out laughing. Her fear also diminished greatly.
She wanted to say that she was not afraid as long as he was there with her.
However, she did not have the right to do so.
Suddenly, Natalie spotted something amiss with Shane’s face. Squinting, she brought her face closer to his. “Mr. Shane, why is there a bruise here?”
She pointed at his cheekbone.
A cold gleam flashed across his eyes as he rubbed the spot which she was pointing at. “It’s nothing. I might have bumped into something.”
“Really?” A look of disbelief crossed Natalie’s face.
