Chapter 141 Tell You the Answer Now

Celia found it hard to believe that the plane had lost control out of the blue.Her heart raced as panic and fear washed over her.Yardley patted her shoulder and stood up. His remarkably handsome face had become exceptionally cold. "I'll go take a look." He headed toward the cockpit after he said that. "I'll go with you." Her face was as pale as a ghost's. Celia was already afraid of heights, so the plane's shaking made her feel extremely uncomfortable."Alright." Yardley extended his right hand and pulled Celia into his embrace before comforting her. "It's okay. Don't be afraid." The plane was still shaking violently, so she found it exceedingly difficult to walk.Her heart was racing with a terrifying sense of impending doom. Fortunately, Yardley's firm grip on her provided her with a sense of security she had never felt before. The couple quickly arrived at the cockpit. "What's going on?" He frowned as he looked at the captain.The captain's fo

"Hmm?" Yardley held her in his arms. His deep gaze was filled with anticipation and nervousness as it locked onto her face."Yardley, my answer is—I agree." Celia pressed her lips to his ear and whispered, "I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you."She then looked at the man in front of her tenderly. Her red lips parted, and she added firmly, "No matter life or death.""Celia, I've been waiting for this answer for a long time." Yardley's eyes sparkled with excitement as he grinned. He lowered his head to kiss the woman he held tightly in his embrace. His breath caught in his throat as that familiar feeling washed over him."Cece, Cece …" he kept murmuring her name. He wrapped his strong and sturdy arms around Celia's slender waist and deepened the kiss. That electrifying sensation surged through her entire body as the two of them kissed passionately. Her heart had never raced like this before.Celia finally understood her own feelings after that near-d

Chapter 143 Falling Into the Sea

After all, there was no signal above the sea. Celia wasn't sure if the necklace her grandfather had given her would be able to transmit the distress signal."It'll work." Yardley arched his brow as he looked into her eyes. He had never seen such a transmitter before. He was still under the impression that Celia's grandfather was just an old man from the countryside. Hence, he was curious as to how Barnaby could possess such advanced technology. He looked at her inquisitively. His fiancée was not an average woman. However, he didn't want to ask about it if Celia didn't bring it up. He liked her for who she was, not for her identity or background. Celia looked around as they got closer to the sea's surface. There were faint outlines of several islands in the distance.Her heart swelled with joy. Just as she was about to tell Yardley, she heard his magnetic voice. "Cece, do you see those islands over there?" "Yeah." She nodded. "I was just about to te

Chapter 144 I Can't Protect You Anymore

"What's wrong, Yardley?" Celia asked in concern, noticing that something was off with him. Pain coursed through his body from the wound. Yardley took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and forced a smile. "I'm okay." "But—" She wanted to see what was really going on with him, but he cut her off."Shh, don't talk. Conserve your energy." He placed his slender finger on her lips and made a hushing gesture. But she was still worried. "Are you really okay?""Mhm," he said dismissively. "Let's not waste any more time and hurry over." The couple worked together and swam rhythmically toward the direction of the island. Yardley kept an eye out for passing boats as he swam toward the island with Celia. Unfortunately, this area appeared to be undeveloped and remote, with no boats passing by. His thoughts drifted away as he gazed out at the vast sea. His father had taken a cruise out to sea and had also encountered a fierce storm. James had died tragically a

Chapter 145 Loyal Unto Death

"What are you on about?" Celia's voice was laced with fear as she heard his words.Yardley glanced in the direction of the island. There was still a long way to go, even though they appeared to be getting closer to the island. He was utterly exhausted. He couldn't swim anymore and was only dragging Celia down with him. He didn't want to be a burden to her.Yardley frowned and reached out to untie their life jackets. "I'm tired, Celia. I'd like to rest for a moment. You go ahead. Wait for me on the island."Of course, Celia understood what he was thinking. She held his hand tightly. "No can do. We're swimming together." "I'll only weigh you down." His gaze softened as he looked at her.He was overjoyed to have the woman he loved by his side through thick and thin. He had no regrets, even if it meant drowning in the vast sea.Celia took a deep breath. "I'm not afraid of being burdened. I'll do my best since I've already given you my answer. I won't abandon or neglec

Chapter 146 Surviving Against All Odds

The faint fragrance on these lips was identical to the one he remembered from his childhood.The fever had left Yardley dazed. All he knew was that the woman's lips were as soothing as a cool, refreshing spring. He reached out with both hands and embraced Celia, drawing her closer. It was so soft, cool, and comfortable. Yardley instinctively wanted more.Meanwhile, Celia hadn't expected him to make such a sudden move. She lost her balance and fell into his embrace. Her spirits brightened when she felt the strength of his arms. She realized that giving him water and using a cool towel seemed to have some effect. "Yardley! Yardley, wake up." Celia pressed her cheek close to his face and whispered into his ear, "You promised to love and protect me for the rest of our lives. You can't break your promise." Yardley's brows scrunched up as her gentle voice reached his ears.He was curious as to who was calling him. He wasn't sure who that familiar and gentle voic

Chapter 147 Rescued

"I'm over here, Celia." Yardley's voice sounded from afar. She breathed a sigh of relief and followed the sound. "Why did you wander off when I told you to wait for me over there?" she grumbled. Didn't this man know he was still sick? She'd been worried sick about him!However, he had somehow managed to catch two sparrows. He smiled and said, "Sparrows should taste good.""You … went to catch sparrows? Why didn't you get some rest?" Celia rushed to Yardley's side and reprimanded, "You're still running a fever.""Are you … worried about me?" He had just found some wild fruits in the woods to eat. He was feeling much better at the moment. His heart leaped up for joy when he noticed Celia was so concerned about him. She rolled her eyes at him. "Duh?""By the way, there's a cave over there. We can rest inside." Celia had noticed a small hill at the edge of the forest on her way back. There was a cave on top of the hill that seemed like it could provide shelter fo

Chapter 148 Trouble at Hughes Incorporated

"Gramps …" Celia appeared a little shy in front of Barnaby and playfully said, "Don't say things like that.""Why are you shy when you're both adults here?" Barnaby teased. "Stop it, Gramps!" She turned around and covered her face with both hands. Yardley arched his brow when he looked at her shy demeanor. He said solemnly, "I'll take care of Celia and protect her, Gramps." "Mhm. I definitely didn't misjudge you." Barnaby was pleased with Yardley. This was Yardley's first time meeting Barnaby. The old man was lively and spirited. He had a strong presence and didn't look like a man from the countryside at all.All of a sudden, Yardley remembered that Otto had an old friend with the last name Stanton as well. Both of them used to be prominent figures in the business world, but his friend had suddenly disappeared from the scene.Could this be him?Celia interrupted his thoughts by saying, "How did you know we were here, Gramps? Did you receive my distress signal?"

Chapter 149 Catch Him Off Guard

"Mr. Hughes Senior is fine," Yannis said as he hurriedly approached Yardley.Yardley breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. He pursed his lips before asking, "Yannis, what exactly happened?""Everything was normal when I returned from Festras," Yannis said, thinking carefully. "We got news of your plane crash shortly afterward, Mr. Hughes. It caused quite a stir in the city when we found out. Everyone was extremely worried, especially Mr. Hughes Senior. "He organized numerous search teams to look for you all. However, Mr. Hughes Senior didn't show up the next day. Jordan said he had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital for treatment." "Heart attack?" Yardley frowned. He was aware that his grandfather had a heart condition. But he had been taking medication and managing it well over the years.Yannis nodded and continued, "Jordan said it was because of your disappearance. Mr. Hughes Senior was distressed and fell ill due to continuous stress and exhaustion.

Chapter 150 I Will Never Let You Down

"But we don't have evidence." Celia frowned and pursed her lips. "So many years have passed. Even if there were any clues back then, they're likely to have been destroyed."Yardley's knuckles gradually tightened, and his tone was cold. "No matter how much time has passed, if he did it, there will undoubtedly be traces left behind!""That's true, but our priority right now is to expose Jordan's scheme to confine Grandpa Hughes and his ambitious attempt to seize power." Her eyes gleamed. She would never allow that despicable man to succeed! Yardley turned his head, looked at her lovingly, and pulled her into his arms. "Thank you, Celia! You've been there for me without fail throughout this crisis."Celia reached out and tapped his forehead while snuggled in his embrace. "I'm your fiancée, silly. Of course, I'm here to share both your joys and your sorrows."He held the woman in his arms tightly and promised her, "Cece, I'll never let you down in this lifetime."Warmth sp
