Daisie did not like this comment.‘I treat him as my boyfriend, and he treats me as his daughter?’Freyja glanced at Daisie’s depressed expression and suggested with a smile, “Don’t you want to go swimming? After breakfast, we’ll depart around noon.”When it came to swimming, Daisie was full of energy.On a hot day, the white sandy beach was filled with tourists and locals, and there were a lot of blue-eyed and green-eyed blondes in bikinis everywhere, all looking sexy and curvy.Daisie walked out of the dressing room wrapped in a bath towel. She was rather confident, but her self-confidence shattered in an instant when she saw those blonde beauties who looked voluptuous.“Daisie, why are you still standing here?”Freyja had changed into her swimsuit and came out of the dressing room, tying her long hair into a ponytail.Daisie stared at her. The swimsuit on her body was a one-piece with a bare back, which looked much more conservative than hers.But she really had it all.Fr
Daisie came to the beach, looked around, and soon found Freyja.Freyja stepped on the surfboard and balanced herself on the rolling waves. She reacted freely and easily while she was on the board. She performed so well that even the men who surfed around her could not help but chat with her. She did not look like a novice at all.Daisie was stunned by her. She really did not know that Freyja could surf—she looked so beautiful.The huge waves came again, and the waves gobbled up the few men who kept staring at Freyja.Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the other side of the waves. The man had a surfing suit and diving goggles, and he perfectly avoided the waves.Freyja glanced over and somehow felt that the man looked a little familiar. However, because of the distraction, the waves got to her.“Freyja!” exclaimed Daisie.Freyja could not dodge it in time and got engulfed by the wave.She then resurfaced, choking on the seawater.When Freyja swam back with the surfboard, Daisie
Nollace rubbed the top of her head. “That’s their business. All we need to do is watch from the side.”Daisie whispered to him, “Is this even the right thing to do?”He laughed out loud.Freyja and Colton really went surfing. The competition between the two was a prolonged battle. Whoever could survive the waves the longest would win.At first, both of them had their own advantages—they dodged the waves proficiently, and all the moves they made to achieve that looked extremely delicate.There were more and more onlookers, and in the end, only Freyja and Colton remained on the waves as if they were on their home ground.Daisie looked terrified. One of them was her brother, and the other was her best friend. She really did not know which side she should side with.The higher the wave got, the greater the risk of them being engulfed and swept away by the waves, and the wave was catching up to the two of them.Freyja was about to change her posture when her calf cramped all of a su
The two glanced at her in unison. “Who are you referring to as childish?”The two actually became such a tacit duo all of a sudden at such a critical moment.Daisie was rendered speechless.On the other side of the region...Freyja went downstairs to a nearby convenience store to buy a few beer cans and snacks. When she went to the cashier to pay for the groceries, she heard someone making a call.“Don’t worry, the heir of the Knowles and the daughter of the Goldmanns are staying in the resort. I have already found the hotel where they’re staying.“We plan to make a move on them in the next few days. We’ll never let them leave the resort alive.”Freyja froze in place and turned her head cautiously.The man standing outside the convenience store on the phone was smoking a cigarette, and two other men were standing right next to him, one of whom had a tattooed arm. All of them seemed to be bad news.‘Their targets are Daisie and Nollace?’Just when she was a little distracted,
Freyja sprinted toward him, caught up to him, did not care about anything, and hugged him from behind. “Honey, please listen to me!” she shouted at the top of her lungs.Colton froze in place, saw the gazes of the passersby that were fixed on the both of them, and immediately pushed Freyja away. “Have you lost your mind?”Freyja lost balance and fell to the ground.Her palm grazed on the floor, and the pain caused her to frown, but all she wanted was to create a stir, and she could not care about her reputation at this moment. “I didn’t plan to make you a cuckold. So please, trust me. It’s him—”She pointed to the man.Just as the man was about to say something, the other two men behind him walked up to him and whispered something into his ear, persuading him to step back and not make a fuss so that he would not create any issue that affected the outcome of their mission.The man spat on the ground and left with his partners.The crowd gradually dispersed, and Freyja was about t
The man leading the group of three took a puff on a cigarette, and his gaze landed on the room's door across the hallway. He did not see any light shining through the seams, making it obvious that no one was there.He snuffed out the cigarette. “Keep an eye on this whole floor for me and wait for them to come back. Remember, grab the woman first.”When the footsteps went further away, Freyja’s clothes were already soaked in a cold sweat. She then realized Colton’s hand was still covering her mouth, so she gently pushed it off her face.Colton regained his senses and retracted his hand.Freyja leaned against the door and sneered. “Do you believe me now?”Colton did not utter anything. He caught a glimpse of her lacerated palm and grabbed her wrist.She pulled her hand away instantly. “What are you doing?”He stared at her. “Your acting skills are just so-so.”Freyja scoffed. “Didn’t you just say that my acting skills are so fabulous that I even managed to trick your brother, and
Daisie choked on her own words and entered the room. “Do you have eyes behind your head?”She was hiding in the hallway and behind the door, yet she was still discovered.Nollace took her into his arms. “Your shadow betrayed you.”Daisie was rendered speechless.‘What can I do even if I’m not reconciled to this outcome? I can’t argue with that.’“Will Colton and Freyja be okay?”Nollace carried her to the couch and sat her on his thigh. “Given Colton’s vigilance and cleverness, he won’t put themselves in danger.”“I know…” Daisie stopped abruptly.Nollace tucked her long hair behind her ears with his fingertips. “We’re their targets. We’re the ones who are in the most danger. Don’t you worry about yourself?”Daisie’s gaze shifted away. “Aren’t you here?”He kissed her at the corner of her eye and cheeks, and his smile intensified. “Yes, as long as I’m here, I’ll definitely protect you at the cost of my life.”She covered his lips with her palm. “Don’t jinx it! You’re not all
Freyja asked in reply, “What would you choose to do then? To act shamelessly or to die?”Colton pushed her aside and opened the French windows, and the wind that blew in calmed him down a little. “You should be glad that that b*stard from the Knowles didn’t close the window.”Freyja sat on the bed. “It seems that we can only stay here for one night.”Colton did not say anything.After freezing in place for a long time, he no longer heard any movement coming from behind, so he turned around and saw Freyja. She was lying on her side and had fallen asleep on the bed.Colton leaned against the window and stared at her thoughtfully.Early in the morning, a ray of light shined into the room.After Freyja woke up, she sat up, turned her head, and caught a glimpse of Colton. He was sitting on the couch, staring attentively at the computer screen.Her gaze then shifted onto the laptop on his thigh, and she then looked intently.‘Isn’t that my laptop?‘Did he go back next door while I
