Chapter 134


    In the evening, I sneaked my way up the isted yacht and made my way to the deck. Staring at the


    sky, I was overwhelmed by a sense of serenity associated with the starry night.


    Christopher must be upied with the guests. Standing on the deck while staring at the sky, I cracked


    my brain for a befitting quote topliment the gorgeous scene.


    “The moon was but a chin of gold


    A night or two ago,


    And now she turns her perfect face

    Upon the world below.” I nodded in satisfaction andplimented, “I’m such a talented woman! Maybe


    I can write for a living!”


    “Do I have the pleasure to join this talented writer over here? Shall we talk about some philosophical


    topic such as the beginning of the universe?” Christopher approached me under the bright shaft of


    moonlight. He seemed to be taller and sturdier than usual.


    “Stop making fun of me!” I reprimanded him with my lips pursed. I was d I hadn’t embarrassed


    myself in front of others again.


    He held me firmly in between his arms and asserted with a smile, “I will never make fun of this lovely


    woman over here.”


    I yed along with him and said, “You should consider yourself lucky!”


    He tried to show me the way to the edge of the yacht, but I stopped him and shared my concerns with


    him. “No! I’m afraid of drowning!”


    “You don’t have to worry because I’ll always be there to keep you safe!” He showed me his hands,


    beckoning me to join him with a gentle grin that could easily take my breath away from me.


    Shaking my head, I said, “Thanks, but no thanks!” I can’t move on from the traumatizing experience. If


    no one brought me back to the shore back then, I would have been long dead years ago.


    “Juste here, okay?” Christopher insisted on having me join him at afterdeck. When I saw my


    reflection in his abysmal pair of eyes, I thought I would soon let loose of myself again.


    Overwhelmed by a sense of security, I inched over and grasped his hand in return. A few secondster,


    I was right next to him at the afterdeck. I could see the reflection of the moon in theke.


    As I was merely a step away from being drowned in the seemingly bottomlesske, I could feel my legs


    turning to jelly. Nestling in between Christopher’s arms, I looked elsewhere to stop myself from being


    overwhelmed.


    “Christopher, I’m afraid no one else is going to rescue me if I drown again!”


    “Hello? Are you indicating I’m going to leave you alone when I’m literally next to you? Not even Zachary


    is a match for me when ites to swimming, okay?” He kissed me and suggested, “Why don’t you


    open your eyes and enjoy the gorgeous scene?”


    His suggestion worked like a charm and allowed me to feel a sense of serenity. I opened my eyes and


    stared ahead of me. Along with the reflection of the moon were the gleaming stars. The breathtaking


    scene seemed so surreal.


    I stretched my hand in an attempt to get a hold of the stars. Christopher grasped my hand and wrapped


    his arms around me from behind. “See? It’s not as horrifying as you have imagined. On the contrary, it’s


    a blessing from mother nature.”


    When I stretched my arms to embrace the sky, our action reminded me of a certain scene from a


    famous movie. “You don’t think you’re the male protagonist of that movie, do you?”


    “What do you think? Care to join me for another adventure?” Christopher asked in return.


    He was confused because I shook my head shortly after I nodded. Thus, he asked, “Are you willing to


    join me or not?”


    The moment I recalled the movie had ended with a tragic note, I answered with a determined look,


    “Nope! I won’t join you for this so-called adventure you’re talking about!”
