Chapter 716

""Eat up."
Zachary had a moment of impulsiveness and handed her the steak, then also peeled a crab and a lobster for her.
Jane and I watched the whole thing and exchanged a glance.
Jane texted me. "Did you see that? She's provoking me."
I replied, "Did it ignite your competitive spirit?"
Jane said, "If she had come back a while ago, maybe I wouldn't have been so preoccupied. I just wanted to enjoy my vacation."
I could tell Jane hadn't completely let go of Zachary, otherwise, she wouldn't be acting here with Michael. She would have long since turned fiction into reality.
With her fiery personality, if she really liked him, she would have made a move by now.
"Charlotte."
Hearing the voice, I looked at my mom. "What is it, Mom?"
"I finished eating with Jason. We're taking a stroll, and Sparrow is with us. You two take your time eating."
I nodded. "Okay."
Jane also stood up and waved at Michael. "We're leaving."
Michael, like a cute puppy, hurriedly approached his owner and circled around her.
Actually, Michael wasn't a bad romantic partner.
Unfortunately, the timing was off.
"Frank, you two enjoy your meal."
"Okay."
Just as I turned my gaze back, I saw Zachary getting up to leave,
Nina jogged after him and said, "Zachary, there's going to be fireworks over there. Let's go watch."
In the end, only Frank and I were left.
finished my juice, wiped my mouth with a napkin, and said, "I booked a night cruise. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting Mr. Smith to join me?" Frank cocked his brows, stood up, and wrapped his arm around my neck, asking, "Are you trying to flatter me?"
Those who were intimidated by Frank's methods would be shocked to see this childish side of him.
Once on the cruise, I leaned on the railing at the back of the boat, admiring the night view.
Frank embraced me from behind.
I looked up and kissed his chin, asking, "Are you calm now, hubby?"
Frank lowered his head and sealed my lips.
While we caught our breath, he rested his forehead against mine, his deep voice alluring as he enunciated, "Charlotte, I love you."
I had heard Frank say sweet words before, but most of the time, he said them playfully, teasing me.
Hearing him so serious and earnest for the first time was new to me.
He hadn't even said it during the wedding.
I hugged his strong waist and rubbed my forehead against his.
I knew we didn't need many words to understand each other.
Just like tonight, although he was pretending to be angry, he really wasn't mad at all.
And I wouldn't hold out just to hear an apology from him when I knew he was merely waiting for me to speak first.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
As a couple, there was no debt between us.
My ideal love was just like this.
I stood side by side with him.
Timely communication, everlasting love.
"I love you too, and I'm very grateful you didn't give up on loving me, my incredibly handsome and capable hubby."
Frank held me tighter and planted an incredibly gentle kiss on my forehead.
In the distance, fireworks blossomed in the sky.
The beauty was frozen in that moment, forming eternity.
