The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1468

As their eyes met, he withdrew his arm, concern etched on his face.

“Hungry?”

Hannah shook her head, avoiding his gaze.

“No, not hungry.

”

Once the turbulence subsided, she slumped back into her seat, ready to succumb to sleep once more.

The icy blast from the plane’s air conditioning left Hannah feeling a chill creeping into her sleep.

She huddled herself together, trying to ward off the cold.

In response, Bryson dr@ped his jacket over her, cocooning her in his warmth as she drifted back to sleep.

When she stirred again, the plane was preparing to land.

She sat up, the suit jacket that had been dr@ped over her shoulder falling onto her lap.

She picked it up, eyes darting to Bryson, who looked quite relaxed in a white shirt against the chair.

His striking facial features were impossible to ignore, and the dim lighting in the cabin only accentuated the sharpness of his facial lines.

Just as Hannah gingerly leaned over to return the jacket on Bryson’s lap, he stirred awake.

Bryson gently grasped her wrist.

“You’re awake now?”

Hannah withdrew her hands instinctively and murmured, “Thank you for your coat.

”

“Alright,” Bryson replied nonchalantly, grabbing his coat.

“Why are you so polite to me all of a sudden?”

Hannah turned away, clearly not in the mood for conversation.

Bryson didn’t press further, opting for silence instead.

As they disembarked the plane and walked towards the exit passage at the airport, Hannah wore a visibly sour expression.

Maloney deliberately slowed his pace, falling into step beside Bryson.

“I can’t help but notice something is off between you and Miss Moore.

”

With one hand guiding his suitcase, Bryson cast a chilly glance at Hannah walking ahead of him and said, “You seem quite fond of gossip.

”

“I’m not gossiping.

Just showing concern for my partner’s well-being.

”

Maloney nudged his suitcase aside and interjected, “Ensuring our partners’ contentment is just the first step towards fostering fruitful cooperation, after all.

”

Bryson scoffed, refusing to talk to him further.

Once outside, Hannah saw Edwin and the others waiting for them.
