Chapter 420
Maeve blushed and nced at Zion beside her before asking hesitantly, “Zion.. arranged a banquet for me?”
“Yeah, at the Royal Hotel! Everything’s set. We just need the guest of honor <b>to </b><b>be </b>here. Charlie and I wille to pick you up. Where are you?” Lyra replied.
Marve covered the phone and whispered, “Did you arrange something for me at the Royal Hotel too<b>?</b>
Zion shook his head, and Marve immediately realized it was a surprise orchestrated by Lyra and Charlie on his behalf.
“So is Zion there? Maeve asked.
Lyra stammered, “Y–Yes! He’s at the Royal Hotel now. He’s waiting for you!”
Marve couldn’t help but ask, “Then who is this person next to me right now if Zion is over there<b>?</b><b>”</b>
“What? Zee is with you?” Lyra eximed, visibly flustered Charlie joined <b>in</b>, asking, “What? You two are together?”
Both Charlie and Lyra seemed <b>ready </b>to jump out of the car as Marve heard the screech of brakes from the other end of the line.
<b>Charlie </b>gritted his teeth in frustration. “Why <b>didn’t </b>you guys tell us that you two were together? I spent over a hundred thousand dors to book the Royal Hotel! You guys better be back now!!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Yeah, celebrating <b>a </b>birthday without us isn’t cool! Despite her words, Lyra was secretly thrilled. She had always thought Zion was reserved, but now it seemed he had some tricks up his sleeve
“We should be at the port

Before Maeve could finish, Zion took the phone and calmly <b>said</b>, “We’re not going back tonight. Enjoy yourselves.
With that, Zion hung up.
On the other end, Lyra was stunned, and Charlie was equally perplexed After a moment, Charlie asked, “What did he mean by that?
“He said he’s noting back tonight”
“What are they doing at the port then?”
“Could it be..” Lyra started to speak but quickly covered her mouth. Things were unfolding quickly, perhaps too quickly for their first time.
“Objection! They’re progressing too fast! Drive to the port now! I want to witness this drama unfold!”
“What objection? Just say it if you’re into the drama!”
Charlie was clearly eager for <b>gossip</b>, even more so than Lyra. Ignoring the cost of the banquet, he stepped on the gas and headed straight for the port. <b>Maeve </b>nced at the phone Zion handed her and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why did you hang up on <b>them</b>?”
“They were too loud ”
Zion took Marv’s hand and led her upstairs.
The moon was bright <b>outside</b>, and the winter sea breeze was chilly Below, the oceany pitch ck, while the open deck of the cruise ship offered a splendid view. Wrapped in a nket, Maeve sat on the terrace, where all the entertainment facilities were set up. Zion handed her a cup of warm milk and asked, “Feeling cold?” “Not really.”
In a low voice, Zion exined, “I have wanted to bring you here since summer. It’s a bitte now.”
“Since summer? Did you buy this <b>cruise</b>?”
Marve was taken aback. She thought Zion <b>had </b>just rented a cruise ship, but it turned out he <b>had </b>bought the entire ship
