Chapter 1603
[ 552 words ]
Dane brought Claire back to the best hotel in town.
They would stay the night and head back to Cabinda tomorrow.
Lingering here was too risky; the town was too close to the border, swarming with all sorts of dangerous people.
Plus, Quinton Graves was incredibly cunning. Even wounded, he had managed to slip through their fingers.
Until that man was caught, Claire would always be in danger.
Going back to Cabinda meant she would have a much larger security detail protecting her.
Cabinda was his home turf, and Dane heavily preferred dealing with Quinton there.
Claire didn’t mind heading back, but she was still worried about the girl from the salon.
“I wonder when Quinn’s situation will be resolved.”
Technically, it was a matter for the local police department.
But if the local cops were actually effective, Quinn wouldn’t have been trapped in that salon to begin with.
“It doesn’t matter when it gets resolved. Stephen definitely won’t let it slide.”
“I completely forgot to tell Stephen about it!” Claire slapped her forehead.
Stephen had been so focused on guarding his team, and Claire had been too starving to think about anything else during dinner.
But it was fine; she could just tell him now.
Dane caught her hand. “Why are you hitting yourself? Are you out of your mind?”
Claire wanted to argue that she was perfectly sane, but instead blurted out, “Then I’ll just hit you next time.”
Dane gave her a flat look. “Do I look like a punching bag to you?”
“Hitting anyone probably isn’t a good idea,” he added, a rare hint of hesitation in his voice.
Claire laughed. “Relax, I won’t hit you.”
“Alright, go inside and get some sleep. You’re exhausted. Don’t think about anything else tonight.”
Dane gently pushed her into the room.
Claire let out a delicate yawn. “I really am sleepy.”
Moving on pure instinct, she wandered into the suite like a ghost.
Dane, still worried about her, followed her inside.
Claire belatedly turned around, looking at him in shock. “Did you only book one room?”
Even though they were engaged,
Pandora and Padgett would
probably have a heart attack if they found out they were sharing a room already.
Dane affectionately ruffled her hair. “If I only booked one room, Pandora and Padgett would skin me alive.”
He wasn’t stupid enough to deliberately create obstacles for himself before they were even married.
Right now he only had to wait a couple of years for her. If he crossed the line that wait could

Thankfully, his inspection revealed no hidden dangers.
It proved that while the hotel was expensive, it lived up to its stellar reputation.
Dane had more than enough money; the cost meant nothing to him.
His only concern was ensuring Claire got a good night’s rest.
Even after checking, Dane still felt uneasy about leaving her alone.
Seeing his hesitation, Claire offered, “If you don’t mind the couch, you can stay in here.”
She genuinely didn’t mind.
Jace James was staying in the room right next to hers.
To ensure her safety, Jace usually acted as her close-protection detail.
But given the boundaries, he wasn’t Rory James, so he couldn’t stay in the same room as her.
“There’s no need.” Though Dane worried for her safety, he wouldn’t take advantage of the situation.
“Get some sleep. Don’t overthink it.”
