“But we have no leads at all.” Silas looked at him helplessly.
At this, Shane lowered his eyes and then plunged into deep thought as he deliberated where his grandfather could have kept the will.
However, after racking his brains for a long while, he was still left with no inkling.
The will can’t be at any of all those places, for Sean can definitely think of them if I can do so. And he might have even rummaged through them all! Therefore, the will must be someplace else!
“Have some tea.” At this time, Natalie came out of the kitchen with tea.
Jolting out of his thoughts, Shane lifted his eyes and ordered, “Go back first. I’ll try my best to think of a lead.”
“Okay.” Silas nodded.
Meanwhile, Natalie was bending down to pour the tea into the glass. “You’re already leaving, Mr. Campbell? But I’ve just made tea.”
“It’s okay, Ms. Smith. I’ve still got something to do, so I’ll get on with it first instead of intruding on you and Mr. Shane.” After saying that, Silas flashed her a meaningful smile before he spun around and left.
Noticing the suggestiveness in the final glance he threw her, Natalie couldn’t help but blush again.
When Shane glimpsed her flaming face, his eyes darkened. Then, he glanced at his wristwatch. “It’s rather late now. Shall we retire?”
“Of course. In that case, are you…”
Before Natalie had even finished speaking, Shane was already walking toward her room.
At that sight, Natalie was instantly stunned. When she’d snapped back to her senses, she quickly trotted after him. “You’re planning to stay overnight at my place, Shane?”
Shane, however, went straight to her bed and parked his butt down. “Do you have any objections?”
Natalie opened her mouth to utter a resolute protest, but in the face of his profound gaze, her words got stuck in her throat.
Never mind, I’ll just let him stay overnight since he wants to do so. We’re now together anyway, and we’re both adults, so it seems rather unreasonable to refuse him.
Thus, she sighed in resignation. She then walked over to the closet and took out a new bath towel for him. “Go and take a shower. I’ll go and ask Mrs. Wilson for your pajamas.”
“Okay.” Shane took the bath towel from her.
Subsequently, Natalie left the room and went to the apartment right opposite hers.
After learning about the purpose of her visit, Mrs. Wilson promptly snagged a set of pajamas and a set of formal wear Shane would be wearing the next day from his closet, handing them both to her.
