Chapter 81 In the Moonlight


    Chapter 81 In the Moonlight


    Come out?


    Bethany was taken aback. She pushed open the door and went out. There was nobody at the door.


    Before she asked, Raymond continued, "Go to the rooftop."


    "To the rooftop?" Bethany was puzzled. "It''s dark outside. Why do you ask me to go to the rooftop?"


    Before she finished speaking, Raymond hung up on her. She was cross.


    However, Bethany didn''t dare to disobey him. She went up to the rooftoppliantly, but there was


    nobody. Realizing she was fooled, she got angry. When she was about to call Raymond and use


    him, she heard a noise above her head.


    Bethany looked up and saw a helicopter slowly descending toward the rooftop. It shocked her to see


    Raymond flying the helicopter.

    When the helicopternded, Raymond in the cockpit said to Bethany, "Get onboard."


    Bethany was taken aback. After she came back to her senses, she looked at herself. She was wearing


    pajamas and slippers with disheveled hair. Realizing this, Raymond smiled and said indifferently, "It


    doesn''t matter. Come onboard."


    Bethany didn''t hesitate and got on the helicopter. The door was shut, and the helicopter slowly


    ascended.


    "What got into your head again? Why do you suddenly fly a helicopter?" Bethany was surprised.


    "I used to be a pilot in the army, but I haven''t done this for years. I did it on the spur of the moment


    tonight." Raymond said to Bethany, "Hold on."


    Bethany quickly sat up straight. Following that, Raymond sped up. It was thrilling to overlook the city


    from the helicopter. Bethany''s excitement surprised Raymond.


    "You''re bold. Aren''t you afraid of height?"


    Bethany shook her head. She had never been afraid of heights. She liked thrilling games since


    childhood. Her family used to have a helicopter, and she liked to take flights in it.


    It was so many years ago.


    "I didn''t know you''re so bold. Shall I take you to bungee jumping next time?"


    "Okay." Bethany was excited about the idea. "I want to go bungee jumping over a cliff. It''s thrilling."


    Raymond said, "Okay, I''ll do that next time."


    "Where are we going?" Bethany looked at Raymond and asked.


    "You''ll know soon if you follow me." Raymond smiled at him. She found this man charming in the


    beautiful moonlight tonight.


    It seemed that the helicopter flew for a long time. Bethany enjoyed the flight a lot. When they arrived at


    the destination, she was dazed by what she saw.


    Bethany had never expected the helicopter tond at the seaside. The stars in the sky were dazzling,


    and the moonlight shone gently on the beach.


    "We''ve arrived." Raymondnded the helicopter slowly on the beach.


    After the helicopternded, Bethany was still in a trance. The sound of the waves was getting louder,


    and the sea view was bing real.


    "Why did you bring me here?"


    "Do you like it?" Raymond didn''t answer her question directly.


    "Yes." Bethany nodded honestly.


    The night at the seaside was quiet, sweet, and romantic. Which girl didn''t like it?


    "How about going on a boat trip tonight?"


    Bethany was excited. She couldn''t believe it and asked, "Is it possible?"


    "Yes, of course." Raymond took her hand and led her forward step by step. The soft sand jumped onto


    her feet as she walked. It wasfortable.


    At this moment, the sea melted into the sky at the horizon, and the shy moon was faintly reflected in


    the waves. The scenery was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was romantic.


    Raymond held her hand and walked by the seaside under the moonlight. Bethany was touched.


    Hand in hand, they walked for a long time until a yacht appeared in front of them.


    "Is this your yacht?" Bethany was surprised and looked at Raymond in amazement. Raymond smiled


    mysteriously at her and said, "Get onboard and take a look."


    Raymond made everything so mysterious. Bethany regained herposure and got onboard the


    yacht.


    As soon as she entered, she was amazed by everything in front of her.


    The floor was carpeted with rose petals. It looked romantic in the dim light. Bethany stepped on the


    petals, which felt soft and cool under her feet.


    Apart from the rose petals, there were candles, which glowed with the warm light of the colors at


    sunset.


    What surprised her most was arge cake in the center of the yacht. Everything she saw seemed


    unreal. It was like a dream. What was this? Was it intended for her?


    "Happy birthday," Raymond said behind her in a charming voice.


    Happy birthday?


    His words shocked her. A lump came to her throat, and her eyes got misty. She was choked.


    When she was the daughter of the Hamilton family, she celebrated her birthday every year. Her father


    always held a grand celebration for her birthday, and many people came to attend.


    But since the decline of the Hamilton family, what she feared most had been her birthday celebration,


    which went from liveliness to quietness. Apart from Ainsley and the two children, no one remembered


    her birthday or took a minute to give her a birthday surprise.


    Looking at the exquisite decoration in front of her, she knew that Raymond had made an effort for her


    birthday.


    "Thank you." After a long time, Bethany smiled with tears in her eyes. "Since my father passed away,


    you are the first person who celebrates my birthday apart from Ainsley, Tyrone, and Sha. Thank you


    very much."


    Bethany was moved by Raymond. Her heart was warmed by him.


    "I''m d you like it." Raymond took her hand again and walked her to the cake, saying," Come on,


    make a wish."


    After Bethany came back to her senses, she obediently closed her eyes and put her hands together,


    making a wish solemnly.


    Raymond didn''t ask her what her wish was. After she blew out the candle, Raymond cut arge piece


    of cake and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "Enjoy your cake."


    Bethany was not self-conscious anymore. She took the cake and started to eat it with relish.


    At this moment, she saw the cake, candles, the sea, the starry sky, and the flowers. Everything was


    beautiful.


    "And this is for you." Raymond handed a beautifully packaged box to Bethany, who was once again


    surprised. "A birthday gift for me?"


    "Yes. Open it and take a look."


    Bethany took the box and opened it. She was amazed. It was an exquisite limited-edition women''s


    watch. She was familiar with designer brands, so she knew it took not only money to buy this watch.


    "The gift is too expensive. I can''t take it." If she epted such an expensive birthday gift, she would


    owe him more money.


    "Are you sure you won''t take it?" Raymond asked.


    "It''s too costly. I can''t take it."


    Right after Bethany spoke, Raymond simply tossed the watch together with the box away.


    "What are you doing?" Bethany was shocked when she saw Raymond throw the watch away. "Are you


    out of your mind? Why did you throw the watch away after I refused to take it?"
