Hearing her footsteps waning away, Shane finally turned around. His hands in his pockets tightened in a grip as he watched her walked away.

Silas, who had been watching them for quite some time, came over and sighed. “Mr. Shane, why don’t you just be honest with Ms. Smith? It’s obvious that she likes you as well. I don’t see why you two can’t get together. You’ve already broken off your engagement with Ms. Jasmine anyway.”

Shane pursed his lips as he squinted his eyes. “It’s not time yet. I won’t get together with her until I find out who’s the person who’s trying to harm her. I’ll only put her in danger if I act rashly now. I’ll come clean with her after I catch that culprit.”

Shane knew deep in his heart that he would do everything he could to win her heart.

It was just a matter of time before he took the final step towards Natalie.

Silas raised his brows and nodded in surprise. “I see. So you already have a plan in mind. But I bet Ms. Smith must be heartbroken now. You rejected her so blatantly.”

Shane rustled his hair in vexation and gulped hard. “Gosh, I swear I’ll make it up to her!”

Silas looked at him and smiled grimly. “I’ll try my best to find the culprit behind this. Speaking of which, there’s something I can’t wrap my head around.”

“What is it?” Shane asked in a vigilant tone.

Silas rubbed his chin as he spoke, “Do you remember how we thought it must be someone close to you who had been watching us since this person knew you’re close to Ms. Smith? I’ve already run a check on everyone around us, but there’s nothing suspicious. I wonder if we’re working in the wrong direction. Could it be that there was actually no one monitoring our moves, to begin with?”
