Chapter 1260
Oand was not very cold in October, but Hendrix still did not allow me to expose my shoulders,
and insteadyered a coat on top of my bare shoulders. Tobias was holding his ss on the cruise
deck, facing the sea, and appeared to be deep in thought.
Standing behind him, I stared at him quietly while looking out at the boundless sea and the twinkling
stars in the sky. Perhaps feeling someone''s gaze on him, he looked back over his shoulder and was
a little surprised to see me.
He raised his eyebrows and lifted the ss in his hand at me. "Why are you out here alone? Is Mr.
Roberts not hovering around you anymore?" he asked.
I smiled faintly, walked over to him and said, "He has his own work to deal with!"
He nodded and turned back towards the sea. Probably amazed by the beautiful night scenery, he
did not look as annoyed as usual. He asked, "Have you ever looked up at a luxurious cruise ship
from a bamboo raft?"
I was a little surprised and shook my head. "No, bamboo rafts can''t go far on the sea, and luxury
cruise ships can''t be sailed in shallow waters, so they can''t even meet, let alone look at each other,"
I replied.
He smiled and gave me a sideways nce. "There is always a one in a million chance!" he spoke.
I shrugged and said, "Maybe!"
"I saw it before. At that time, I told myself that if I had the opportunity, I would turn my life around
and be the one standing on the cruise and looking down at the sea!" he said. He squinted at
the vast ocean and said, "I did it. I''ve finally got what I wanted."
I drank the remaining wine in my ss and said, "However, you''re not as happy as you expected,
aren''t you?"
He suddenlyughed and looked at me. "Do you think this is a movie? I have reached the peak and
am now standing in the position I dreamed of. I have achieved what I want. How can I not be
happy? Don''t listen to what others say about the wealthy envying the poor''s rtionships and
connections. In fact, rich people don''t envy anything like that at all. We can chase after any woman
we want. What''s so bad about that?" he said.
I shrugged and did not refute him. Looking at the city getting further and further away from the
shore, I could not help but ask, "So what are you sighing about?"
He squinted at me, smiled proudly, and said, "Of course it''s because I wanted to find amon
ground to talk to you. I heard that your past is simr to mine, so I was trying to engage in
conversation with you."
"What do you mean?" I asked. Thinking thoroughly, I don''t seem to have anything inmon with
him!
He leaned against the railing and said, "Our upbringing. I lived with my mom when I was young. Her
job was nothing to be proud of, so all my life I was looked down upon. The strong always bully the
weak. I always thought to myself in the past that, if one day I climbed to the top, I would definitely
take revenge on those who hurt me. Now, it seems that I can do it."

I frowned, pursed my lips, and said to him, "I''m not the same as you. My upbringing isn''t as bad as
you think, so you don''t need to find something simr between us. I don''t want to have anything in
common with you and I don''t want tofort your so- called sad or embarrassing childhood either."
He didn''t seem to care, "It doesn''t matter, I didn''t want you tofort me. I just wanted to find
someone who wasn''t that annoying to vent my feelings to, but I''m much better now."
Tobias was a contradictory person. I shrugged and didn''t intend to stay with him any longer. A
beautifuldy came up with a wine ss and looked at him with a faint smile. This party didn''t seem
to have a shortage of beautifuldies.
