Earl Field smiled seductively. "Unless you agree to marry me."
Cecilia Gu glared fiercely at Earl Field, shoved him away, and stormed off in a huff.
Cecilia Gu thought about what Earl Field said. There was some truth to his words.
Silverwave Island is so big—even if others are vacationing there, surely they wouldn’t pick a fight with me for no reason, right?
Besides, I’m bringing plenty of people with me.
Even if the other side are pirates, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to take on a whole group head-on.
All things considered, Earl Field is probably just trying to throw me off.
Hmph, like I’d ever trust him!
Earl Field watched Cecilia Gu’s retreating figure, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. He grabbed a delicate pastry from the table and popped it into his mouth, muttering to himself, "You still won’t believe a word I say... It seems, no matter what I say, you’ll never trust me. What am I supposed to do with you... Hehehe..."
Of course Cecilia Gu wouldn’t trust him!
Why should she trust a man who took her son away?
Cecilia Gu couldn’t be bothered with Earl Field anymore. All she cared about now was Miles Gu getting better as soon as possible.
Over the past few days, under her care, Miles Gu had gradually regained his vitality and could joke and play around with Charles Yin.
In another room, Rona Muir was finally cornered by Jiro Hirayama.
"You’re avoiding me!" Jiro Hirayama looked at Rona Muir, aggrieved, directly accusing her of her shameful behavior!
Rona Muir looked awkward. "I’m just packing up! We’re heading to Silverwave Island in a few days, so I have to get ready, right?"
Jiro Hirayama wasn’t so easily fooled. He wasn’t going to let Rona Muir get away with such a lame excuse.
"You promised me: as long as I cure Miles Gu, you’ll be with me." Jiro Hirayama insisted, refusing to back down.
Rona Muir slapped her forehead. "I’m four years older than you!"
"So what?" Jiro Hirayama looked at Rona Muir, confused. "I could invent an anti-aging serum. Maybe I’ll end up old and ugly, and you’ll still look just like you do now!"
