Chapter 245


    Before we left for the cruise, I was originally wearing a skirt. However, he insisted I wear the clothes he


    prepared. He then took out a set of matching outfits with the same pattern and style. There was also a


    printed picture of SpongeBob on the chest.


    Although it was somewhat childish, I looked fine in it. However, it became a little strange as soon as he


    put it on. After all, a fully grown man wearing such childish clothes had to look weird.

    Nevertheless, he had no realization of it at all. After changing, he spun around a few times in the mirror


    and eximed, “We’re really born to be a pair. Even our clothes are the same.”


    I was speechless at that, for I could not deal with such a serious-faced narcissist.


    As there was no sea in Avenport, we had to take a ne to Coldbridge first. In reality, I was looking


    forward to the trip, since frankly, the word “honeymoon” was very foreign to me. When Lyle and I had


    gotten married, he did not even return the night before, hanging out with Benjamin and the others.


    Then, when he waster sent home, the sky had already brightened. Furthermore, he was so drunk


    that he did not even bother about me. For the next month, he went outte at night and only came


    home early in the morning every day. He did not even speak much to me. Therefore, I did not


    remember about the honeymoon.


    Once we got to the port, a little girl selling flowers stopped us and said to Christopher, “Handsome


    mister, why don’t you buy some flowers for this prettydy? You look so happy together. How can you


    not her buy some flowers?”


    He turned to me and smiled, then said quietly, “That makes sense. Give me eleven roses and make it


    look pretty.”


    “Okay!” The little girl then quickly bundled the roses up and gave them to him. Subsequently, she held


    out her hands. “That’ll be one thousand and one hundred. Thank you, mister.”


    “That’s so expensive. Is this a scam?” I asked, surprised by the price. I had long heard that Coldbridge


    had many scammers but did not expect to meet one as soon as I arrived.


    “Compared to your happiness, miss, one thousand and one hundred is merely a small part of it.


    Besides, my roses aren’t ordinary roses. They’re called Loving You A Thousand Years. It represents


    this mister’s love for you. Don’t you want to have it? Happiness is priceless,” the girl replied, clearly


    spouting nonsense with a straight face.


    I rolled my eyes at that. Does even a little girl now know how to say such things? She’s giving


    countless excuses.


    “I love what you said. Anyway, I have lots of money!”


    Despite my protests, Christopher calmly paid the money then handed the roses to me. He smiled and


    said, “Darling, these flowers are for you. I hope you’re always as beautiful as they are.”


    I pouted and shook the ordinary-looking flowers. No matter how you look at it, they’re mere roses. And


    she still said happiness is priceless? Hah! As if! It’s only because she saw us wearing expensive


    matching outfits.


    “What a spendthrift,” I muttered.


    “I’m happy to be a spendthrift for you!” he said before holding my hand and walking toward the


    entrance to the cruise. “Anyway, a man makes money just so that his woman could spend it. If you


    don’t even spend it, what’s the point of me making money?”


    “That doesn’t mean you should spend so carelessly. Next time, if you want to buy something, you have


    to ask for my consent,” I replied, still upset about the huge amount paid earlier.


    “Alright!”


    The ship’s whistle then sounded before it slowly moved further away from the dock, heading toward the


    horizon. Several seagulls in the sky were alerted by the sound and flew away together while squawking


    loudly.


    I was fascinated. After all, it was the first time I was on a cruise. I flung Christopher’s hand away and


    ran toward the ticketing gate. However, another couple happened to turn the corner at that moment and


    ran into us head-on. As a result, both parties were stunned.


    I frowned slightly as I looked at Lyle and Crystal in front of me. There was an ominous feeling in my


    heart, seeing them at the ticketing gate as well. Well, isn’t this just my luck! Do I have to see them while


    on my honeymoon?


    “What’re you doing here, Yvonne?” Lyle asked. He was holding onto Crystal’s hand and frowned when


    he saw me.


    Stepping backward, I walked into Christopher. However, I did not continue retreating and merely let him


    put his arms around my waist. He said softly, “It’s none of your business!”
