Chapter 1213:
“Maybe we should make this a regular thing and come here often,” Dunn suggested gently as he poured her a glass of water.
“Oh, if I did that, I’d gain weight in no time. I have a figure to maintain, you know. Don’t tempt me,” Margo shot back playfully, wrinkling her nose.
“I’ve actually found a few more places with amazing food. If you can’t come with me, I can always send you pictures,” Dunn teased, mischief glittering in his eyes.
At that, Margo reacted as if she’d stepped on a landmine. “Try it, and you’re going on my blacklist,” she warned.
“Alright, alright. We’ll go together,” Dunn surrendered, amusement tugging at his lips as he watched her pretend to be angry. He found her utterly adorable.
Then Margo’s gaze drifted toward the window, and her eyes suddenly lit up. “Hey, what’s that over there p>
Following her pointed finger, Dunn explained, “That’s a man-made lake. It was developed recently. You can go boating and enjoy the view. Want to check it out p>
Margo nodded. “Sure. A little exercise will help with digestion p>
With that, they stood and left the private room, heading toward the lake.
The lingering warmth of early autumn made the night breeze feel gentle against Margo’s face. She stepped onto the boat, but the motion made her sway.
“Careful p>
Dunn instinctively wrapped his arms around her as she wobbled, steadying her.
Their faces ended up close, and Margo caught her own reflection in Dunn’s clear gaze. Suddenly, an unspoken tension settled between them.
Dunn was the first to pull away, but the lingering intimacy didn’t fade.
“Thank you,” Margo murmured, her cheeks flushing. She took a steadying breath, offered him a grateful smile, and turned her attention to the view.
As the boat glided smoothly over the water, Margo trailed her fingers along the surface. The cool touch mesmerized her for a moment, and she didn’t notice Dunn’s gaze resting on her.

“Margo.” Dunn’s voice broke the silence.
When she looked up, he pointed toward the sky. Following his gesture, Margo found herself staring at a sky full of stars—so breathtaking she couldn’t find the words.
For the first time in a long while, her constantly hectic life seemed to slow down, even if only for a moment. It had been ages since she had allowed herself to relax like this.
“It’s beautiful,” she said softly. “You never see this many stars in the city p>
Margo tried to capture it with her phone, but the camera couldn’t do the scene justice.
“What a shame. I can’t record it properly. I would’ve loved to share it back home.” Turning to Dunn, her smile brightened. “Thank you, Dunn p>
“Margo.” He repeated her name gently, his voice as soft as the starlight warming her chest.
Her heart pounded, as if it sensed something was about to change.
Dunn hesitated, looking at her, emotions swirling beneath his calm exterior.
