Chapter 1602


    The passionate kiss ended abruptly and Silvia was left feeling at a loss. When she regained her


    senses, Jayden was already standing quite a distance away from her. She wrapped herself with a


    nket as she was in a disheveled state before she demanded, "Jayden, what''s wrong? Why did


    you stop all of a sudden?"


    "Go to sleep first, I''ll go back to my room and take a shower." Jayden turned around and walked


    towards the door. When he reached the door, he stopped and nced at her. "Silvia, I warn you. If


    you dare to mess around again in the future, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson."


    Silvia'' s lips pouted slightly as she said pitifully, "So, you stopped suddenly because you want to


    punish me?"

    Of course it was not to punish her. She might not know how difficult it was for him to stop, but he


    had to for fear of hurting her and their child.


    In order not to let Silvia provoke desire in him again, Jayden asked with a grim face, "Are you aware


    of your mistake now?"


    "I... I just want to help you because you have suppressed yourself so much." When Silvia saw his


    expression darkened, she started to mumble. "Jayden, don''t be angry with me. If you don''t like it, I


    won''t give you such a gift in the future."


    In fact, she was delighted that Jayden did not ept her gift. She had given him a sex dummy, but


    he was willing to suppress his desire for her, and that moved her. He was such a good man and she


    was truly blessed to have met him.


    How could she not feel happy?


    Jayden asked again, "Are you aware of your mistake?"


    Silvia nodded repeatedly. "Yes. I will not give you any present of this sort in the future."


    Upon hearing her promise, his expression brightened. "Good. Sleep earlier."


    "What about you? Are you still going to leave? Don''t you want to sleep with me and our baby?"


    Silvia looked at him with piteous eyes. Ever since she was pregnant, she had never slept alone.


    Without him, she might not be able to fall asleep. "I have apologized, are you still angry with me?"


    "Just sleep first." Jayden turned around and went out. If he lingered on, he was afraid that he could


    not control himself. This woman did not know how attractive she was when she was being


    coquettish. Her innocence may cause the situation to go out of hand.


    Staring as he closed the door, Silvia''s heart sank. It seemed that she had gone over the top and he


    was vexed. He would not pay heed to her tonight, would he?


    She stroked her round belly and whispered, "Baby, I made your dad angry, and he is ignoring me.


    What do you think I should do?" "Well, you said that I should listen to him and go to bed early.


    Tomorrow, I should apologize to him. After a night''s rest, he would calm down no matter how angry


    he is. Hence, I don'' t need to worry, right?"


    "All right, I will listen to my dear baby. I will do whatever you say."


    Silvia fell into a slumber, feeling crestfallen. After some time, someoneid down beside her. The


    person radiated warmth, and he cuddled her in his arms. His hand gently pressed on her round


    belly in a protective gesture.


    The motion stirred her from sleep, but she did not utter a sound. She smiled slightly, feeling blessed


    beyond measure.


    Life on the deserted ind was fine for the past two days, and nothing unusual happened.


    Unexpectedly, on the second night, the winds were strong, indicating a storm was brewing.


    Levi, Monique, and two others had been living on the trees. Apart from the branches, there was


    nothing else to shield them from the storm.


    "Levi, what should we do?" Ronald rose and shouted, "We are boys. It doesn''t matter if we are


    drenched in rain. What about Monique and Cecil? We better think of a solution."


    Monique got to her feet and chimed in. "It’s not time to differentiate between men and women. No


    one knows how long the rain will fall. If we are soaked wet for a long period of time, no one would


    be able to keep it up. We don''t have any cold medication in our possession. None of us can afford


    to catch a cold."


    As Monique was speaking, Levi had already gotten off the tree. He quickly put on his military boots


    and instructed solemnly, "All of you, grab the quilt and follow me immediately."


    At the same time, he lit a torch to illuminate the route ahead. "This afternoon, when we were fishing,


    I found a cave near the rocks. Let’s seek shelter over there."


    "Where''s the cave? Why didn''t I notice it?" Ronald asked skeptically.


    Levi retorted, "What are you bbering about? Hurry up! All of us will be trapped here if we hesitate


    further."


    A violent gust of wind swept past, and they could hardly decipher what Levi was bellowing. It


    seemed that the wind would blow out the me of the torch anytime.


    As Levi was struggling to prevent the torch from being put out, Monique had already gotten off the


    tree. She seized a barrel and used it to fend off the gusty, strong wind, keeping the me burning.


    "Cecil, Ronald, hurry up."


    Cecil and Ronald followed suit. Each of them was holding a quilt in their arms. They looked a mess,


    drenched in rain but none of them cared about what they looked like. Finding a temporary shelter


    was their main objective at the moment.


    It was pitch-dark and the fangs of the wind ripped at their coats, making it difficult to advance.


    However, Levi took the lead without hesitation. "Monique, grab my hand. Cecil, clutch her hand and


    Ronald, hold on to Cecil. Do not let go no matter what. We will advance together."


    None of them hesitated and followed hismand. They held onto each other tightly so they


    wouldn''t trip and fall amidst the violent gale.


    They proceeded towards the cave Levi mentioned. Suddenly, Ronald let out a yelp of fear and let go


    of Cecil'' s hand. Levi immediately came to a halt. "Ronald, what’s wrong?"


    Ronald was so frightened that he stumbled over his words. "Something slimy bit me just now. I don’t


    know what it is."


    It was rming to be bitten by a venomous snake on a deserted ind. He might lose his life. Levi


    immediately handed the torch to Monique and squatted in front of Ronald to check on his condition.


    "Where were you bitten? Let me see."


    Ronald replied, his voice shaky, "My ankle. Young Master Brown, it can’t be a venomous snake, can


    it? I won’t die, will I?"


    Levi lifted Ronald''s trouser leg but did not find any wounds on his ankle. He realised immediately


    that Ronald wasn''t bitten by a snake. He was just scared stiff. Levi did not expose the truth. Instead,


    he said reassuringly, "Don''t worry. You won''t die as long as I''m here."


    Ronald responded in a quavering voice, "Young Master Brown, you aren''t lying to me, are you?"


    "If anything happens to you, I''ll give you my life." Afterforting Ronald, Levi said to Monique,


    "Tomboy, hold the torch and lead the way. I’ll gost."


    Although she was annoyed with how he called her, Monique did not make a retort. She took over


    the torch and led the way. Her only focus was to get everyone to their destination so that they would


    be safe and sound. Thoughts of danger did not cross her mind even once.
