Chapter 214: The Dinner


    At night After one full day, the ship had left the boundary of Apliaria and officially entered the high sea.


    ording to the trip itinerary, they would stay in the high sea from morning until night and then turn


    back, which meant that the ship would return to the docks at this time tomorrow. Sitting on the edge of


    the bed, Rachel could clearly see the vast ocean through the window. The lights from the ship reflected


    on the water below, while the sound of waves proved soothing to the ear. She caressed her belly fondly


    and said, “Little guy, tomorrow is a big day.”


    As soon as she finished her words, a gentle knock came from outside the door. The maid’s voice


    followed after a moment. “Miss Be, are you awake?” Rachel stood up and opened the door,


    curious about what was happening. “Miss Be, there is a special dinner party on the fifth floor


    tonight. Would you like to join the other passengers in the restaurant?” the maid asked with a smile.


    Rachel frowned and asked, “Dinner party?”

    “That’s right, Miss Be.” The maid looked at Rachel with a hint of guilt in her eyes. But thinking that


    she didn’t do anything wrong, she immediately straightened up and said with a smile, “Miss Be, all


    the chefs will be working on the fifth floor tonight, so if you want to have dinner alone here, you may


    have to wait a little longer.”


    Rachel had a strange feeling in her gut and remained silent for a while. Seeing that Rachel wasn’t


    responding, the maid quickly added, “If you don’t want to go to the fifth floor for dinner, I’ll just inform


    them. I’m sure they will figure something out to amodate room service in your case.”


    “No, it’s fine. I’ll go to the dining room. Just give me a moment to prepare,” Rachel said casually The


    maid’s face suddenly lit up. “Then let me go get an evening dress for you, Miss Be! I’ll be right


    back!” “Why the evening dress? It’s just an ordinary dinner. Why do I need to wear something so


    formal?” Noticing the maid’s shifty behavior, Rachel had a vague guess on what the dinner was really


    about.


    “The dinner party is officiated by the host of the cruise tour. All richdies on board will be dolled up in


    their fancy dresses. You should go get ready, Miss Be.” Rachel’s eyes blinked, and she didn’t say


    anything. In the Western restaurant on the fifth floor.


    It seemed that a waiter had been expecting her arrival. As soon as Rachel came up the stairs, he


    greeted her warmly and ushered her inside. “Miss Be, please follow me.” Rachel smiled politely at


    the waiter and then peeked at the room behind him. The wholeyout of the restaurant came into view.


    The light in the restaurant was a little dim, entuating the rustic vibe of the furniture inside. Melodic


    and soothing music could be heard ying in the background to set the pleasant mood. From where


    Rachel stood, she could clearly see the sea surface with light ripples which reflected the full moon in


    the sky. Rachel slightly frowned at the sight of only a few waiters in the area. She had expected a


    grand event


    Soon, the waiter led her to a table with the best view in the room.


    “Miss Be, please have a seat.” The waiter pulled out the chair like a gentleman and gestured for


    her to sit down. As Rachel settled down, she looked up and spotted a lone well-dressed man on the


    nearby deck turning around. It was Victor. He ended the phone call he was on, and their eyes met. A


    look of surprise and amazement came across his handsome face. She was thest person he had


    expected to see.


    And he was stunned by how beautiful she looked tonight. After all this time, she could still take his


    breath away. Rachel wore a red strapless dress, whichplemented her fair skin. In the dim light, she


    looked like a blooming rose in the garden, graceful and elegant. Victor lost himself for a moment. It felt


    like the first time he everid his eyes on her. Since when had she be so fashionable and


    attractive?


    In the past, she always wore heavy makeup, which obscured her natural beauty. Additionally, she


    typically wore clothes that were outdated in style. But now, her overall appearance was on point. This


    brand new image of her was a refreshing sight. But Victor’s thoughts strayed back to his previous


    encounter with Roger. His eyes darkened. No matter how hard he tried, Rachel seemed to grow further


    distant from him.


    He didn’t even remember how long it had been since thest time she looked at him with affection.


    Underneath his rough exterior, his cold heart secretly longed for her love. Before heading over to her


    table, his phone suddenly vibrated. A text message came in. It was from Carson.


    “Hope you two enjoy your evening!” Victor pocketed his phone and chuckled to himself. The dinner


    tonight had been arranged by Carson. “Are you feeling better now?” Victor asked in a gentle voice as


    he walked over to Rachel. “Yeah, I think so.” Rachel nodded slowly. Within a few minutes, their table


    was filled with all kinds of mouth-watering dishes.


    Victor politely dismissed the waiter and observed Rachel as she ate in silence. He sped his


    hands together and leaned on the table. “Rachel, don’t you have anything to tell me?” Upon hearing his


    words, Rachel put her utensils down and stopped eating. She looked up at him with a confused look.


    “You didn’t feel dizzy this morning, did you?” Victor asked.
