“MARGAUX, IT’S GOOD that you came. We’re all worried about you,” Julia told me with so much
concern.
“Yes, it looks like alcohol was bad for you in the past, ah?” Allysa groaned as Julia stopped her by
tapping her at the shoulder.
“Are you okay?” Samantha asked while keeping her eyes on her cellphone.
“I’m okay, thank you,” I shyly said, both cheeks turned red with embarrassment because of the full
attention they gave me.
I also saw Cindy and Carrick coming with Elliesse and Lawrence. I didn’t want our eyes to meet this
time, so I just decided to avert my gaze.
“Everything is here, come on!” William shouted before pulling his girlfriend Allysa to a mini-boat to
board a yacht not far away.
One by one, we boarded the yacht that Lawrence allegedly owned. I just shook my head at what I
found out. If I only knew, I would not have come and just went straight home.
We stayed in the room reserved for us because the yacht was so big that we did not have to huddle in
a room.
Julia and I shared a cabin while Samantha and Allysa were in the other room.
The boys as well as the couple Carrick and Cindy also separated the room. Lawrence and Elliesse are
probably in the same room. Even if it hurts in my heart, I just put it aside and shrugged.
“Wow, it’s so nice here!” exclaimed Julia before opening the room reserved for us.
Like Julia, I could not help but marvel at the shouting pomp. Just before the entrance, I was welcomed
by a high-quality chandelier. There was also an amazing chair lounge with a wooden table beneath the
creamy tapestry. I turned right where the door had been sliding. The development of the yacht was
evident from here.
I decided to enter the room where I found Julia lying on the soft bed. I went straight to the closet to put
my carrying bag there.
“Can I ask a question?”
“Sure, Julia. What is it?” I turned to face her, who was leaning in front of me.
“Have you been with Lawrence?” she curiously asked without a blinked.
I sighed as I walk towards my bed, “Nope . . .”
“Really?” She hitched her brows and mine, seemingly unwilling to believe my answer.
I sighed again and shook my head repeatedly.
“Your dare last time, hmm . . . I just noticed because his kiss to you is more intense than Elliesse,” she
told me before getting up from lying down.
“Maybe it was just because of the alcohol,” I refused, but I couldn’t help but blush at what I heard.
“Why did he run after you, then?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.
“He did apologize for what happened. I was wrong. I should not have said he kissed me even in front of
Elliesse, and I admit I blamed him,” I said tonelessly.
“Why did he follow you when he was next to his girlfriend? We’re puzzled, you know,” she intriguingly
said and shrugged a bit.
I swallowed. I didn’t answer that because I also don’t know the answer to it. I shook again and stepped
back to the front of the closet.
“Life is really unfair. You love each other, but you cannot be together,” she said in a low tone.
I turned my head to face her and smiled a bit. “Is that some kind of a wisdom?”
“Hmm, kinda.” She laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

IT WAS NOON when Julia and I decided to go out to our cabin.
The group was already on the deck, but I did not see Lawrence there.
“Hey, guys!” Jeremy greeted us.
I waved at him with a smile as Julia immediately sat down on the lounger where he was sitting.
“Margaux!”
I turned to see Peter sitting on the railings. He was already wearing a complete suit as Carrick adjusted
his oxygen tank at the back. It looks like they are ready for scuba diving.
“Be careful,” I said to him.
“Okay, guys, we’ll go first, huh?” said Carrick and jumped into the sea with Peter.
“What’s up?” said Cindy. Like her, I was also dressed in a suit to prepare for the jump.
When we were ready. Elliesse and Lawrence arrived. Elliesse wears a black bikini, and Lawrence
wears a basic short shirt. I could watch them freely with my goggles, and in that way, I stared intently at
Lawrence.
“Margaux, let’s go!” Cindy woke me up, confused, as I adjusted my goggles before glancing at
Lawrence, who looked in our direction again.
“Ready?!” Cindy asked me.
I nodded before throwing my body into the blue sea. I could not help but marvel at what I saw. It is
worthwhile, and our eyes are full of the many species that can be seen. After I took a few shots with the
waterproof camera, Cindy and I went upstairs.
We were greeted by the delicious smell of lunch that Samantha cooked. It turns out that she is a chef
that Jocko tells us.
“If my fiancé can cook like this, well, I have nothing more to look for!” Jocko stated while chewing the
food in his mouth.
“Don’t talk when your mouth is full!” Samantha pinched his cheek, and he lay down in pain.
“You’re really different, Sam. What potion are you putting in here?” said Jeremy, who was very fond of
the spicy crab he ate.
“The main ingredients of all my dishes are simple, which is love,” she revealed and looked straight to
Jocko, who was busy eating again.
“Love again? Why do you always need love? Can’t it just be in the ingredients really so delicious? Can
you taste the love in what you eat?” William laughed out loud at the same time. Allysa squeezed his Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
ear, so the latter grinned.
“When you’re in love, everything is beautiful, so I like to cook more, especially when the person I love
eats it,” she sweetly said, and then her cheeks turned red.
I couldn’t help but glance at Lawrence, and his piercing dark eyes made me feel uncomfortable in my
seat.
“That’s right. You know you just eat, you can’t live with that love, it can’t be eaten.” Jocko laughed as he
picked up a prawn near Samantha.
“Are you numb?!” Samantha slapped him so that he would not run away later.
I, on the other hand, was just quietly listening to them. I ignored Peter next to me, who had been
opening me up with crabs and prawns.
“Thanks.” I smiled at him as he put the peeled prawns on my plate.
“Ouch!”
I immediately glanced in Elliesse’s direction because her finger was bleeding, which I thought was the
crab’s skin. Lawrence immediately attended to the tissue.
“Does it hurt?” Lawrence asked.
I chose to bend over to the food when he took and focused his eyes on her hands.
“Let’s wash your hands, please excuse us!” he said without bothering to turn around all of us and went
inside to accompany Elliesse.
I suddenly lost my appetite and decided to finish the meal and breathe on the yacht’s far side.
I’m shutting my eyes and feeling that cool, calming air. I wish I can always enjoy a nice wind like this. I
feel like it sympathizes with me in whatever I go through now.
