    Knowing full well it was peeping, why did he have to call her out? Didn’t she have any pride at all?


    Annoyed, Cornelia turned her head away, refusing to give him the time of day


    Marcus, as if nothing ma jor had happened, carried on driving the sightseeing car, even ying the role


    of tour guide “This road we’re on is called Lovebirds Lane, and the flowers on both sides are orchids.


    The name of the road and the flowers nted were all decided by Shawn, the hotel manager we just


    met


    The sightseeing road was well maintained, with the orchids blooming brilliantly on both sides. It was


    indeed quite beautiful


    Still pissed off, Cornelia nced at the flowers and shrubs outside, responding nonchntly without


    turning her head, “I see”


    Assuming she was enjoying the scenery, Marcus continued his animatedmentary. “At first, I didn’t


    understand why he chose to nt these flowers. He told me that orchids symbolize a beautiful love I


    used to scoff at that, but now I feel that having a good omen and symbolism gives people hope, and


    there’s nothing wrong with that”


    Marcus wasn’t a man of many words, but to spare them from an awkward silence, he kept talking,


    saying things that even he found embarrassing


    As Comelia listened, her anger slowly subsided “So, you gave him full control of the hotel?”


    “Yep.” Marcus nodded “Shawn is a college student I sponsored I thought highly of him, so I let him


    manage the hotel after he graduated. He hasn’t let me down.”


    “You sponsor college students? That was news to Comelia.


    Sponsoring college students was a charitable act by Jeremy’spany with no business motive, so


    not many people knew about it. “Just donated some money, not a big deal.”


    “It’s more than just some money” To Marcus it may be just some money, but for the students he


    sponsored, his kindness could change their lives.

    Marcus’s image grew a little taller in Cornelia’s heart.


    As they chatted, they arrived at the edge of a cliff where a row of spherical ss houses were in sight.


    Each ss house was built on the rocks at the edge of the cliff, appearing to hang in mid–air, which


    was quite thrilling


    It was said that these ss houses were built using some special construction technology Unless there


    was a super tsunami or an earthquake of magnitude eight or higher, these ss houses were


    absolutely safe.


    Marcus slowed down, “Want to take another look?”


    The sea breeze was a bit strong. Cornelia was only wearing a dress and felt a bit cold. “I don’t want to


    walk around anymore, let’s find a ce to sit and wait for the sunset.”


    “Sure” Marcus drove Cornelia to a ss house.


    This ss house was the most prominent one, with only one corner built on the rock. The rest seemed


    to hang in the air, beneath was a cliff several dozen feet high with waves crashing against the rocks. It


    looked absolutely thrilling.


    Marcus said, “This ss house is reserved for me by Shawn. No one usually stays here, so you don’t


    have to worry about hygiene.”


    When initially nning the hotel, Shawn jokingly said he wanted to reserve a room for him so he could


    bring his girlfriend in the future.


    He said at the time: “I might have to wait till my next life to bring a girlfriend here.”


    Because he never thought he would have a girlfriend, let alone get married.


    However, just a few yearster, he skipped the dating part altogether and went straight to register for


    marriage.


    Inparison, Cornelia didn’t have as many concerns. She, Abigail, and Zack usually chose regr


    chain hotels when they traveled and weren’t particrly picky about hygiene conditions.
