Natalie sniffed, gasping for breath.

Sebastian pulled out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.

Seeing Natalie hitching with sobs, he pulled her into his arms.

“So you told me about your deal with them in a fit of anger?” Sebastian asked softly, his chin resting on her head.

He felt sorry for her.He had thought that Natalie was an optimistic carefree woman but didn’t think she shouldered a lot of burden and responsibilities on her own

“It was because they broke their promise.”

Leaning against his strong chest, Natalie frowned and complained like a child.Her answer amused Sebastian.

He hailed a taxi and pulled her inside.

Natalie hugged him tighter and pressed her face against the crook of his neck.

“Don’t worry!” Sebastian stroked her hair.

“I have a lot of friends.I’ll help you figure something.”

Natalie’s head became hot and heavy after all the crying.She felt sleepy.

Sebastian’s embrace comforted her.She rubbed her cheek against his chest and snuggled up to him.

Silence fell.

The ride was quiet, except for the whooshing of the wind.

“I’ve lying to you the whole time.Aren’t you mad at me?” Natalie asked, interlacing her fingers with his.

‘How could every part of his body look beautiful?’ She looked at the blue veins running across his muscular hand in awe.

Sebastian let her play with his hand as he watched her intently.

The flickering light cast a soft glow on his face.

He put his other arm around her shoulder and sighed.

“When I found out that you deceived me, I was furious.But later, I was simply glad that I didn’t marry Cassie. Fortunately, it was you”

His every word felt like fireworks exploding in her ears.Her heart stuttered in her chest.She began to sob uncontrollably.

The pain was unbearable.

Her vice-like grip wrinkled Sebastian’s T-shirt that was soaked in her tears.

“It’s okay.I’m here.It’s over now, Natalie.”

Sebastian hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped her tears.

He peppered kisses across her cheek and lips to comfort her.

Natalie looked at him through her teary eyes, and her nose had turned red.She was so vulnerable at the moment that she shrank in his arms.She wrapped her arms around Sebastian’s neck and cried, “What do I do now, Sebastian? I have severed all ties with my adoptive parents, and Hannah is in fatal danger now.I feel like I have no one in this world.Nobody wants me.”

Natalie felt abandoned and helpless.

Living in a world without any hope or anyone to hold on to was tragic.

Natalie wasn’t an optimistic person.She always pretended to be strong and happy to protect herself from the world.

“You still have me.l’ll always be with you.”

Sebastian pulled her closer into his arms.He meant every word he said.

Natalie pressed her face closer against his neck and continued to sob silently.She clung to him for dear life.She didn’t know how and since when she started trusting Sebastian.

But at the moment, the man was her savior.

He continued to stroke her back comfortingly.

After crying out her emotions, Natalie leaned against Sebastian’s chest, wrapping her arms around his waist.She felt sleepy.

As she closed her eyes, Sebastian pulled the jacket tighter, covering Natalie’s neck, and kissed the top of her head.

“Forget everything and sleep.”

When Natalie woke up again, it was already midnight.She was lying on the bed in her room.

It looked like Sebastian had carried her into the house.

A nightmare woke her up.She wanted to close her eyes and sleep again but couldn’t.Her mind was filled with thoughts about Hannah.She tossed and turned on the bed all night.

The next morning, Natalie walked out of the room.
