Nina thought that they should’ve picked a romantic place where the stars could be seen shining brightly above their heads. Champagne, roses, red carpet… Everything should’ve been there, and her parents should’ve been locked in a luxurious place.
Kyle turned to look at Nina. She will definitely grow up to be someone who craves romance.
“There’s a saying that couple needs to endure hardship together before they learn who they truly love. Sending them off on an adventure together will give them a chance to discover how they really feel.”
Nina couldn’t actually understand what Kyle was talking about, but their parents were already trapped, so she could only observe from the side.
The lighting inside the cave was terrible, and Nicole and Evan could barely see each other’s figures, let alone their features.
“What’s going on? The cave’s entrance is sealed. How do we leave the place?” asked Nicole nervously.
Evan scanned his surroundings and suggested, “Maybe we triggered some sort of trap.”
“W-what do we do now? How do we get out?”
I’m only here to check the treasure out. I did not sign up for being trapped!
After checking her surrounding, Nicole called out nervously, “Hello? Can the entrance be opened from the other side? Let us out. Hello?”
Nicole shouted as loudly as she could, but she didn’t get any response.
Can they not hear us from the other side? Is this cave soundproof?
“Let’s not shout anymore. I think there’s another exit somewhere. We should go look for that instead.”
Nicole blinked and looked around as her mind spun. She silently sighed when she concluded that that was their only way out.
With no other option, Nicole followed the man deeper into the cave.
“Why is it so dark in here?”
“Here, hold my hand.”
Nicole was a little hesitant, but Evan did not wait for her response before reaching over and holding her hand.
The warmth exuded from that firm grip felt familiar. It feels like a certain someone’s hand.
For a moment there, Nicole was surprised by how she didn’t want to resist. She simply let the man hold her hand as he led the way.
“Levant, have you ever been here before? Is there really another exit?” asked Nicole curiously.
Hearing her calling him “Levant” caused a pang of jealousy to strike his heart. After all, he was holding hands with the woman he loved the most, but she was calling out to another man.
And here I am, standing here and assuming another man’s identity just so I can get close to her.
Hah, what a humbling experience.
It seemed that love truly could turn someone humble.
Still, Evan had no regrets because he was doing it for Nicole.
Nicole gripped his hand tighter and followed closely behind him. She walked carefully along the uneven path. Out of nowhere, she asked, “Do you think there’s really a treasure in here?”
Evan pondered for a moment. He was borderline bullsh*tting when he instructed John and the Hidden Masters to hunt for the treasure. I don’t even know if there’s actually a treasure within these walls.
“Let’s not think about the treasure now and focus on getting out.”
Nicole’s eyes, however, kept circling around the cave. She thought that her getting trapped there wouldn’t be for nothing if she actually found the treasure.
They were walking when Nicole suddenly stumbled on something and fell forward.
Evan immediately turned around and held her waist to stop her fall. Before Nicole even knew it, she was already in Evan’s arms.
Her heart pounded erratically. But even so, she didn’t push him away because being in his embrace and the sensation that she felt… Everything feels so warm and familiar.
Nicole didn’t understand why Levant would make her feel that way.
She was still deep in thought when a passionate kiss landed on her lips suddenly. That got her even more confused, and she was at a loss for what to do because that kiss felt just as familiar as the embrace she was in.
Evan was slightly taken aback. Nicole was resting in his arms and didn’t look like she had any intention of moving away. Nicole didn’t push me away when I kiss her, and as far as she is concerned, I am Levant! Is Nicole not pushing me away because she had fallen for Levant?
Jealousy raged within Evan at the thought of that.
His kiss became more domineering as if it were with the intent of punishing her.
Nicole suddenly realized that something was off. A suffocating sensation engulfed her, and that got her to struggle as hard as she could. Mustering her strength, she pushed Levant as far away as she could.
After that, Nicole took a deep breath and yelled, “You’ve gone overboard, Levant!” With that, she walked away in a huff.
