A Cue For Love

Chapter 1048 Swap Places Natalie knew that her plan was a little foolish, but it was an urgent situation, and there was nothing else she could think of. Hence, she had no choice but to steel herself and try it out.

Barnaby Lenock was holding a pregnant woman hostage when a young woman abruptly barged into his line of sight and requested to swap places with the pregnant woman.

“Strange words from you!” Barnaby tightened his grip on his knife. “What makes you think you can swap places with her?”

“Don’t you only want a hostage as a bargaining chip?” Natalie asked Barnaby. “A pregnant woman can’t move around easily. Also, look at her. She’s going to pass out before you can even kill her. Since all you want is a hostage, won’t I do as well?”

Every word Natalie uttered challenged Barnaby’s determination.

He had only wanted to hold a random woman hostage. Yet little did he expect to end up grabbing a pregnant woman instead.

Barnaby scanned Natalie from head to toe and asked dubiously, “You’re not a spy from the special forces, are you?”

“Which part of me looks like that?” Natalie chuckled. “Can you not make things more complicated than they actually are? I don’t have any weapons on me. I just don’t want to see two lives ending, so I’m volunteering to take her place.”

Just as Barnaby was hesitating, the sounds of steady footsteps came closer to them.

Barnaby’s ears perked up, and immediately he became alert.
