Chapter 1276:
Cupping Rupert’s face, she said solemnly, “Rupert, if you hadn’t come in time today p>
Before she could finish, Rupert silenced her with a kiss.
He slid a hand around her waist and looked at her flushed face with gentle intensity. “I will always be by your side p>
Moved, Annabel nestled into his embrace.
After the upheaval on the cruise ship, Annabel and Rupert finally reached Lover’s Island safely. Annabel rushed to the beach, excitement returning in full.
She walked across the soft sand, her eyes drawn to the distant line where sky met sea, tinted a faint orange by the sinking sun.
“Rupert, look at how lovely this place is,” Annabel called, her smile bright and joyful.
Rupert’s heart melted at the sight of it.
He followed her along the shoreline, watching the sea breeze ruffle her hair.
“It feels like I haven’t been this relaxed in a long time,” Annabel said, stretching out the words as if she didn’t want the moment to end.
“We can stay here if you want,” Rupert replied softly.
“No way.” Annabel grinned, showing her pearly teeth. “The view is beautiful, but I still want to go back for all the good food and fun p>
Rupert brushed her messy hair back and murmured, “Anywhere is good as long as you’re there p>
Annabel rose onto her toes, blinked up at him, and looped her arms around his neck. “Rupert, I’m so glad I met you p>
Beneath the setting sun, they shared a passionate kiss, their shadows stretching and intertwining on the sand.
That night, Annabel chose a movie and curled up in Rupert’s arms to watch it. Even though she’d picked it herself, she couldn’t help criticizing it.
“Wow. If the lead actress had just explained things, there wouldn’t even be a plot. What kind of teenage angst is this? Who even likes stuff like this nowadays p>
Annabel had hoped to see what kinds of movies were popular so she could create something comparable, but the result was disappointing.
Rupert had no interest in that kind of story and remained expressionless. Still, something Annabel muttered caught his attention.
“But this male lead is quite handsome. I wonder which company he’s from p>
Rupert lowered his gaze and saw Annabel already searching for him on her phone. A frown immediately creased his brow.
Oblivious to his reaction, Annabel continued murmuring, “And his physique isn’t too shabby either p>
Just as she was about to tap another photo, Rupert snatched her phone away. Before she could even process what happened, he tilted her chin up and made her face him.
His gaze pinned her in place. “So, he’s handsome and has a good physique p>
“Uh-huh…” Annabel didn’t look the least bit intimidated. She poked Rupert’s chest and added, “Still lacking a bit, though p>
