"What did you prepare in the bathroom? Duck floats and water guns? Do you want to repeat our childhood fun?" Sky teased.
Louis snorted in amusement. "Unfortunately not. We're on honeymoon. I prepared something more romantic."
"Not candles and scattered rose petals, right?" Sky joked, making Louis shake his head in amusement.
"How about you check the answer yourself?" Louis led Sky to a door.
"Am I wrong? If not flower petals, then what? Is it—"
Suddenly, a phone rang again. Louis immediately took a deep breath. Sky took her phone while chuckling.
"Sorry, Louis. I didn't want to break our agreement, but I had to pick up the phone. It might be important," Sky said as she checked the call. "Oh, it's my father. Hello, Papa."
Sky chatted with her father for a while. She occasionally glanced at Louis. Her husband's expression tickled her
"Did you forget? We're heading to the South Pole. There are no time zones there. Ghosts can show their presence at any time," Draco said, not looking like he was joking at all.Angelica sighed tiredly. "Can you just focus on our mission?""I'm focused.""What's the proof?" Angelica asked in a challenging tone.Draco thought for a moment. "I've made a plan to approach Sky. Tonight, she and I will be in the same bed.""What's your plan?"A lopsided smile appeared on Draco's sly face. "I'll let you know if you're willing to accompany me in bed."Angelica snorted in disgust. "You think my price is that low? My target is Louis Harper. If I can get a big prize, why would I be aiming for crumbs?""You talk as if you're sure to get him," Draco muttered.Angelica didn't like his tone. "You'll regret underestimating me. This charm of mine," she flipped her hair, "no one can resist it."Draco snorted in amusement. "Please don't be too confident. You'll get depressed if your mission fails.""You'
"Because I'm afraid Summer will see and follow in your footsteps," Louis answered without thinking.Sky gasped. "Are you teasing me again? Are you openly saying that my action in preparing this book was wrong?"Hearing the misunderstanding, Louis' eyes widened. "No, it's not like that. Please don't misunderstand. I don't blame you. Like I said, I'm glad you prepared such a sweet surprise for me. It's just ...."Louis took a deep breath. "I hope Summer will love a brilliant guy who loves her with all his heart and has courage. That way, she won't need to prepare a surprise gift like you. I want her to receive much greater love from the guy she chooses without a long wait. You understand what I mean, right?"Sky was stunned. She thought for a moment. After a blink, she smiled wryly. "You're right. Summer shouldn't follow me. She should avoid misunderstandings and suffering. I hope her love journey goes
Louis glanced towards the door. Finding Angelica, he whispered to Sky, "It seems like she's seriously targeting me."Sky's face became even more sullen. Her breathing sounded heavy. "You should have rented the lounge for us," she grumbled softly."Should I do that?"Sky blinked. She didn't realize that she had just voiced her annoyance. "Do what?""Rent this lounge for the two of us?"Sky waved her hand. "No. For what? That's excessive. Other passengers also have the right to enjoy the facilities here.""If it can make you comfortable, I don't mind. Besides, I don't think it's excessive," Louis shrugged, as if he had no burden.Not wanting her husband to waste more, Sky quickly grabbed his hand. "It's okay, Louis. She is a nobody. How could I let her rule my heart and mind? She can't ruin our moment.""But you were grumbling. Your heart and mind are clearly disturbed by her presence," Louis added, raising an eyebrow. "You're jealous, right?"Sky let out a laugh. "No, Louis. I can't be
Louis nodded without hesitation. "Of course. My heart only wants to accept your presence, while my hands only want to touch your skin. Why choose a woman who isn't even on the list of my choices?"Angelica unconsciously gritted her teeth. She was irritated because Louis rejected her so openly. However, she didn't want to ruin her dignity. She straightened up."If you want to spend time alone together, fine. Maybe we can talk another time."She forced a smile, but Louis ignored her. She had no choice but to go away with an annoyed expression."Has she gone?" Louis whispered while twitching his eyebrows.Sky nodded. "Yes. She left the room while stomping her feet."Louis sighed in relief. He could finally lean back and look in all directions. Sky was tickled by his behavior."What's wrong, Louis? Your neck seems sore. Is it because the temp
"We were lucky to survive," Sky recalled, shaking her head vaguely. "If not, I can't imagine what our fate would be like.""Looking back, I think I owe you, Sky. If only you hadn't held my hand, I might not have survived," Louis rubbed his wife's hand.Instead of being touched, Sky sneered. "You were faster than me, Louis. I held your hand so you could pull me. In conclusion, it wasn't me who saved you, but you who saved me."Louis chuckled at the honesty. "Trust me. I couldn't have run that fast if you hadn't held my hand. You gave me strength and motivation, so I could be a hero for you."Sky smiled. Not only because of the sweet kiss she had just received on the back of her hand, but also because Louis was still not tired of praising her."Okay. Let's write that sweet memory here," Sky tapped the book on her lap with a pen. "Apart from that, which other adventure was the most memorable?"Louis pursed his lips. His head tilted up to check his memory. Before he could find an answer,
Angelica's expression turned serious. She looked at her phone. The call she received turned out to be on SIM-card 2."Where did you get my number?" she asked, no longer looking down on the screen."That's a secret, Ma'am. We can't tell our secret procedures to just anyone," the boy said.Angelica was offended. "Ma'am, you said? You said you're professionals, but why didn't you check my background properly? I'm not married yet. Call me Miss!""That's because you've been involved with many men. You're not a pure girl anymore. You don't deserve to be called Miss. And now that I think about it, I don't think you deserve to be called Mrs. or Ma'am too. They're usually used for adult women who have one husband. You don't have one husband, but many men," River explained."Yes, River is right. They are terms for women with diginty.""Dignity, Summer," River whispered.Summer gasped. "Yes, I mean dignity."Angelica was stunned to hear that. She didn't care about the mistake Summer had just mad
Draco laughed faintly. "Sorry, Mr. Harper. I didn't mean to seduce your wife. I just wanted to say hello to an old friend. So, do you remember me, Sky? I'm Draco. You guided me when we were teenagers."Sky froze. Her eyes narrowed, busy searching for that memory."Still don't remember?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. "I was on a tour around Europe. You worked as a guide. Back then, you were the youngest guide at the HealingHills Travel Company. That fact amazed me. I even asked for your picture and autograph."Sky shook her head faintly. "Sorry. I took too many pictures and autographs.""We met again a few years later, by chance, in Canada. Summer was still very young at that time," Draco added a hint.Louis' eyebrows were knitted even more tightly. "You know Summer?" he muttered in an unamused tone.Draco nodded lightly. "Yes, she was a cute little baby. Even though she couldn't talk yet, I could already feel her chatty aura. How is she? Has she grown into a cheerful and resourcefu
Knowing his wife's dirty thoughts, Louis laughed faintly. "I want us to get ready for dinner. I'm getting hungry. If we have time, let's turn on our phones for a while. I suddenly miss our little princess."Sky chuckled. "Good idea, Louis. Let's go to our cabin!"Louis and Sky left the lido deck with warm hearts. They didn't realize that Draco was smiling lopsidedly at them."Wait for me, Sky. I'll take you away from him tonight," he thought impatiently.A few moments later, Louis and Sky had turned on their phones. Finding deleted messages from Summer, worry arose in their hearts."Did Summer contact you?" Sky asked while glancing at the phone next to her."Yeah, she sent me several messages, but they've been deleted. I wonder what she sent."Sky shrugged. "Let's call her."Soon afterward, Summer answered in her cute voice. "Hello, Mommy? Why did you call me? Shouldn't you be having fun with Daddy?""Hi, Honey. We suddenly miss you. What are you doing?" Sky asked, glancing at Louis w
"Wow! Look at my girl! Isn't she charming?" Draco whispered to his co-worker.Angelica watched Sky with an unhappy face. She realized that it wasn't just Draco who was captivated by Sky, but almost all the visitors."Tch, what charm? I actually feel sorry for that green dress. It should look magnificent on my body," Angelica said, sarcastically. "And that handsome and perfect guy, he should be holding my hand."Draco snorted in disgust. In his heart, he cursed Angelica for daring to compare herself to Sky."I know you can't wait to touch that guy, but please hold on. Don't do anything until I give you the signal. Remember. We are carrying out my plan right now."Angelica sighed lazily. "Okay. How long do I have to wait?""Just let them enjoy their meal. Wait until they are off guard."Angelica nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, Sky was chuckling. Louis had just treated her like a noble."Welcome to this very humble ballroom, Mrs. Harper," Louis said while bowing like a servant to the
