Chapter 162 House Arrest

How obedient was kitten before Jack Lee appeared?

Although she also had a little temper, she was all obedient and never dared to talk back to him like this.

Nathan Shaw attributed all these changes to Jack Lee. He did not listen to what she said at all and dragged her to the car opposite the road.

Sierra Moore was naturally unwilling to leave with him. She patted his arm and said, "Nathan Shaw, let go of me. I can't leave!"

Sierra Moore did not know where Jack Lee had been taken to. She only knew that she could not leave Marseille right now. She had not found Leo yet. He was so young. What if he was bullied outside?

As he ignored Sierra Moore's cries, Nathan Shaw's entire body was emitting cold air just like the way when they met for the first time.

Regardless of Sierra Moore's unwillingness, he stuffed her into the car. After Nathan Shaw got in the car, the car drove directly to Marseille Airport.

Sierra Moore cried and did not want to get on the plane. Along the way, her actions attracted the attention of the crowd. In the end, even the guards at the airport were alerted.

Seeing the guards, Sierra Moore immediately asked for help in French, "I don't know them. Please save me!"

Nathan Shaw's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. He followed the airport guards to the security room for investigation.

Sierra Moore thought that she could be saved. Sitting in the waiting room, her nerves relaxed a lot. When she took the cup of water, she held the corner of her mouth and thanked the other party.

After she relaxed, Sierra Moore felt a little sleepy. The guards said that it would take a while and that she could rest on the sofa.

There were sleeping pills in the water and Sierra Moore quickly fell asleep. She only woke up when she got off the plane.

When she was sitting in the car, she understood that this matter must have something to do with Nathan Shaw. However, she did not know how he managed to convince the guards at the airport to help him in such a short period.

The car drove straight back to the villa. Margaret had already returned to the House of the Shaws. Ruby Smith was still here. Sierra Moore was surprised that Wendy had returned from her hometown.

In addition to them, there were four bodyguards at the door. Nathan Shaw found them to look after her and said that she could only move around in this house. She was under house arrest.

Before Sierra Moore came back, Margaret had already been asked to leave by Nathan Shaw. He did not want to spread the matter between him and Sierra Moore to the House of the Shaws.

Sierra Moore still lived in the master bedroom on the second floor. After Nathan Shaw sent her back, he began to have a cold war with her.

Sierra Moore left without saying goodbye. Nathan Shaw held a barbaric and overbearing attitude. They didn't consider each other's side. Both of them were angry in their hearts, so neither of them was willing to speak first.

After they came back from Marseilles, Nathan Shaw started to go out early and come back late. He did not live on the second floor even if he came back. It was difficult to meet him.

Sierra Moore was not affected. She ate and slept every day. She was just a little worried about Leo. She wondered if he was starving outside.

As she thought about it, her heart felt uncomfortable. Every night, she washed her face with tears and became much thinner.

Nathan Shaw was the exact opposite of her. He attended different events every day and was well-dressed in front of the public.

Over a few days, the scenery of the past appeared on New York's television newspapers, and in magazines.

There were photos of Skyreach Corporation's president attending an event with a popular film star, photos of him having a candlelight dinner with a famous host, and photos of him entering and leaving the hotel with a young model.

For a whole week, the front headlines of the City Daily News were full of Mr. Shaw's handsome and elegant figure.

At breakfast, Ruby Smith would bring the newspaper in on time and place it on the dining table. It was hard for Sierra Moore not to see it.

The matter of Leo had yet to be resolved, and she still didn't know how Jack Lee was doing.

These things were already annoying enough for her, but Nathan Shaw was still making trouble with her, creating so much gossip every day to provoke her.

Sierra Moore felt that the current situation was really terrible, but no matter how bad it was, it could not compare to what happened to the Moore Famiy back then. She had already grown up from that unforeseen event.

During breakfast, Ruby Smith brought in today's newspaper and placed it next to Sierra Moore.

Today's headline was still Nathan Shaw. His arm was holding the dazzling Beauty Nate, and the beauty was smiling sweetly at the camera.

The title next to it was the rumored girlfriend of the president.

When she saw the news a few days ago, Sierra Moore could still calmly accept it, but today, when she saw Avery Yates standing next to him, the anger in her heart could not be suppressed.

Sierra Moore stopped eating and threw her chopsticks. She said to Ruby Smith, "Ruby, don't bring the newspapers in the future."

She hadn't seen Nathan Shaw for several days. Recently, he had come back later and later. Even if he came back at night, he would still live on the third floor.

He didn't want to see her, but he insisted on trapping her here. It was a contradiction.

In fact, after they returned from Marseille, they had not spoken a word properly.

The delicate Hong Kong-style plates in front of her could not attract her. Sierra Moore felt that this was not the way to go on. She had to make things clear with Nathan Shaw today.

She got up and went to open the door. The bodyguards at the door saw her coming out and immediately reached out to stop her. "Miss, please don't make things difficult for us."

This was not the first time such a scene had happened. Sierra Moore did not turn back today. Instead, she said to them, "I need to go out for a while."

The bodyguards received salaries from Nathan Shaw, so they naturally did not listen to her. They replied in a straight tone, "Boss said that Miss cannot leave this house."

Of course, Sierra Moore knew that it was Nathan Shaw who ordered it, but she had to see him today.

She did not make things difficult for these bodyguards and just asked them to pass on a message, "Tell Nathan Shaw that if I do not see him, I will not eat or drink until he is willing to see me."

These words quickly reached Nathan Shaw's ears, but when he heard them, he did not take them seriously.

Nathan Shaw thought to himself, "That woman loves to eat so much, and Wendy's dishes are well-cooked. How could she bear not to eat? She must be kidding."

But this time, Sierra Moore had made up her mind to not eat anymore. She stopped eating the moment she decided to.

At noon, when Wendy finished cooking, Ruby Smith went upstairs to call Sierra Moore down. Sierra Moore resisted the feeling of hunger and said, "Ruby, go and tell Wendy that from now on, she doesn't need to cook for me."

Sierra Moore had been doted on since she was young, and when she was as stubborn as this, no one could stop her and change her mind.

No matter how Wendy and Ruby Smith tried to persuade her, it was useless. She was lying on the bed for the whole day, not eating or drinking.

As a servant, Wendy felt that it was not good to talk too much about it, but she had been working for the villa for so long and she knew that Nathan Shaw was good to Sierra Moore.

Seeing that Sierra Moore did not eat dinner, Wendy knew that she had made up her mind, so she quickly asked the bodyguards to call Nathan Shaw. If something happened to Miss, the one who would be most distressed would definitely be Nathan Shaw.

Nathan Shaw received a call from his bodyguard. When he learned that Sierra Moore had been lying in bed for a day without a drop of water or food, he felt his stomach throb.

He didn't want to care about her. He knew that this was her bitter game, but he couldn't help but think to himself, "How could she bear it if she didn't eat or drink for a day?"

When he looked at documents, he thought about it; when he had a meeting, he thought about it; when he drove, he thought about it; when he drank, he thought about it; when he went to the toilet, he thought about it...

"Didn't she feel hungry?

"If she was hungry, would she feel stomach pain?"

He was the clearest about the feeling of stomach pain. Even he, a man, could not withstand it, let alone her.

Nathan Shaw had been thinking about Sierra Moore the entire night. From Serenity Clubhouse to Dark Night, he had been distracted and did not even hear what his partner had said.

His gaze stopped on the back of his hand more than once, as the needle on his watch moved bit by bit.

Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten o'clock...

When the needle pointed to eleven, Nathan Shaw finally could not help but stand up and leave early. He drove the sports car back to the villa.

After living in the villa for so long, Sierra Moore recognized Nathan Shaw's footsteps. Moreover, she clearly heard the engine sound of the car just now. It was the car of a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron.

Sierra Moore pricked up her ears and did not move. She could hear the sound of him opening the door and going upstairs clearly.

Knowing that he was back, Sierra Moore hurriedly sat up, but when she heard the footsteps stop outside the door, she suddenly changed her mind and lay down again.

When Nathan Shaw pushed the door open and entered, the room was pitch black. Only the white curtains beside the balcony of the sliding door could be seen gently swaying.

After the lights were turned on, the room was as bright as day.

Nathan Shaw walked over and saw the person on the bed lying on the inside. She curled up in a white down blanket like a huge silkworm.

She was clearly the one who made a mistake, yet she did not know how to reflect on herself and still dared to resist him in such a way.

He clearly told himself not to come back and not to be soft-hearted. He thought to himself, "This woman's heart is made of stone, and her heart only contains her first lover called Jack Lee."

However, when he heard the bodyguards say that she had not eaten for the whole day, he still could not let go.

Nathan Shaw pulled off his tie in frustration and threw his coat on the sofa.

"I heard from the bodyguards that you wanted to see me!"

Hearing his voice, the person who was pretending to be asleep in the quilt was stunned and opened her eyes with her back facing him.

At that moment, she thought that he would come over and kiss her on the forehead like he did in the past. She thought he would say to her, "Baby, I'm back."

Sierra Moore stared blankly for a while, then she slowly lifted the quilt and sat up.

The long darkness made her unable to adapt to the light at once. She closed her eyes, turned her head around, and looked at the person on the sofa.

"Nathan Shaw, what did you do to Jackie?" Sierra Moore said calmly.

Unexpectedly, this was what she said first. Nathan Shaw's eyes darkened as he sneered, "You called me here just to talk about this?"

Thinking of what Nathan Shaw had done to Emily Mason, Sierra Moore was very worried.

Jack Lee was not Emily Mason. To her, he was a close friend or even a family.

Sierra Moore looked at Nathan Shaw for a moment and said, "Our matter has nothing to do with Jackie. Please don't hurt him."

During the dinner party, he drank mixed wine. The discomfort in his stomach made Nathan Shaw's face even uglier. He covered his stomach with his hand and did not speak for a while.

Because he was too far away, Sierra Moore could not see the expression on his face.

Not hearing Nathan Shaw speak, Sierra Moore felt her heart involuntarily tighten. She thought to herself, "Did he really do something to Jackie?"
