While browsing through the article, Matthias stopped at a certain page and stared at the picture on it with deadpan eyes. He was astonished that the reporters even managed to get their hands on such a picture and he wondered how long they had been secretly following them. Something fishy was definitely going on.
While gazing at Evan, he tapped on the table with one hand. “Find out who this reporter is.” His instincts were telling him that there was something odd about this reporter. Perhaps by starting here, he could figure out why Heather and him were being targeted.
Glancing at Matthias’s stern face, Evan asked rather worriedly, “You think this has something to do with the Locke Family.” As expected from Matthias’ confidant, Evan immediately guessed his thoughts.
“This isn’t the first time the Locke Family has done something like this, and you know this,” Matthias said profoundly. He was very well aware of the Locke Family’s tricks, but he never expected they had a large enough network that could reach him in Bradfort City.
“No wonder they were pushing you to get married.” Just then, it dawned on Evan, and it felt like everything made sense now.
Hearing this, Matthias became sullen and his expression darkened. Evan had just touched a sore spot. These few days, he had been distracted by the whole marriage situation, and when Evan brought it up, Matthias’s head started to hurt again.
“Don’t even bring it up,” he grumbled. He knew he wouldn’t be able to keep running away, and he was getting more annoyed the more he thought about it.
“Why not just get on with Miss Langston?” Evan smiled suggestively, causing Matthias to wish he could land a punch on his face.
“Buzz off!” he snarled. Though flabbergasted, Evan didn’t get angry at him. He knew what his temper was like, and he acted as the bigger person and didn’t bother with him.
“Don’t mention Heather either.” Matthias was distraught and upset at whatever he heard. He didn’t want to hear about Myra and Tony, nor did he want to hear about Heather and the Locke Family.
Meanwhile, Myra and Tony were frolicking in the pool on the top floor of the hotel. They were happy as could be. If Matthias saw this, he would probably be green with envy.
The sun was shining just right, and it was the perfect weather to be soaking in the water. In fact, Tony didn’t want any disturbances, so he had reserved the entire pool. Just then, Myra wandered in the water. It was a beautiful sight, and Tony didn’t want to interrupt this wonderful moment.
He wished he had a camera in his hands at this moment to capture this fleeting and marvelous sight in front of him. However, no camera was going to be as good at capturing this moment as his own eyes. Every moment was deeply imprinted in his brain.
Playfully, Myra splashed water onto his face and giggled. “What are you daydreaming about?” Gazing at her smiling face, Tony couldn’t help but chase after her.
Sensing his intentions, Myra frantically turned and left, not wanting to be easily caught by him. A chase in the water was kicked off. Despite that, Tony didn’t dare to really use much force to catch her. It was only pretend.
After the first trimester, swimming was good for pregnant women. However, everything had its limits, and Tony wouldn’t let her strain herself too much.
Of course, Myra was also extra cautious. The baby in her belly came before anything else. As such, she would be careful even while playing. The two of them were having fun, and Tony finally caught up with her and pulled her into his arms.
“Where do you think you’re going?” With a sly look, he squinted his eyes at her.
“Carry me up?” She gazed up at him with an innocent look.
Dotingly, he shook his head at her. “Tired?” As he spoke, he kissed her forehead.
The original plan was to go out after breakfast, but Tony had suddenly suggested going for a swim. Hence, they had spent the whole morning in the pool.
When getting out of the pool, Myra’s legs were a little weak. Seeing this, Tony immediately picked her up bridal style, whereas Myra wrapped her arms around his neck. It was like they were in-sync with each other. When one had found the right person, it would feel as if they were custom-made for them by God Himself.
For their honeymoon, Tony had long arranged their route. Myra had no objections, so he was completely in charge of the arrangements.
After being with him for so long, Myra found herself depending on him more and more. As long as she was with him, she felt like there was nothing to worry about. In fact, she had never even thought of being apart from him. She always believed that she would spend the rest of her life and grow old with Tony.
For a long time afterward, when the accident happened, she realized that many things were uncertain, and the happiness she once had stung her deeply.
It was already afternoon when they embarked on their journey again. Since it was their honeymoon trip, they weren’t in a rush at all and went at their own pace.
When it came to this, they were on the same page. They had laid out the route without working out the time. For this vacation, they were going to enjoy it to the fullest. Instead of rushing during the trip, it was going to be a relaxing one.
The scenery along the way was beautiful, and Myra would film the scenery with her phone from time to time. Meanwhile, in Tony’s eyes, Myra was the beautiful scenery. As she admired the scenery, Tony admired her.
“Tony, are you taking me around the world?” She looked at him curiously. Their original plan was to travel by commercial planes and not their own plane.
This time, he even got a private plane, which was quite convenient as they could go anywhere they wanted without wasting too much time.
“If you want to,” he said while gazing at her lovingly. He would try his best to give her anything she wanted.
“No. The world is huge, and I’d prefer it if we take it slow.” She smiled at him. She wasn’t greedy. The world’s beauty had to be slowly admired and appreciated.
While they were above the sea, she watched the blue ocean in a daze. After flying over the sea, they arrived at the first destination of their trip.
It was a small island in Southeast Asia, and it was rumored that this island would bring good blessings for any couples who visited it. In fact, many couples had come to visit from various countries.
Regardless of whether the rumor was true or not, the island’s view was breathtaking. Tony had once stayed a night here before, and he liked this place very much.
This island was the first place that came to his mind when he was planning their honeymoon trip. It was a stunning island. When Myra came down from the plane, she fell in love with the island as soon as she laid eyes on it.
Tony led Myra to the hotel to put down all their belongings before going to explore the island. This was something Myra agreed with. The most annoying thing while going on a trip was carrying their things.
When they came out of the hotel, the sun was setting. Myra and Tony enjoyed the afterglow of the sunset; at that moment, the entire island was painted gold by the sunlight. They strolled as they admired the beauty of the setting sun.
The island was a quiet place, and it wasn’t hard to distinguish the locals from the tourists. As a matter of fact, they could tour the entire island on foot, but that was what they planned to do the next day. Today, Tony wanted to enjoy the sunset with Myra.
Myra had fallen in love with this place at first glance. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, she preferred a simple and quiet place. She liked the beautiful scenery and the simple life the locals led. They had the most sincere smile on their faces, and it felt like everyone could be their most authentic selves.
The enthusiastic locals would take the initiative to greet the visitors. They didn’t know much English and had a strange accent, but Myra found it particularly adorable.
“This is a good place to retire.” She sighed, not expecting the first destination that Tony brought her to would be such a beautiful place. It made her look forward to the rest of Tony’s carefully-planned trip.
“We can come again next time if you like,” he said to her.
Hearing this, she raised her brow at him. Although he spoke lightly, taking another trip wasn’t going to be easy. After all, they were both busy, especially Tony; it was almost impossible for him to leave work.
“Okay.” She showed a cheerful smile. She didn’t want to overthink now since it would spoil the fun.
“Myra, I want to travel to every corner of the world with you,” he said while pulling her closer to him. The sound of ocean tides filled the air as the water crashed onto the shore wave after wave.
The relaxing sound attracted the attention of the two, while the sea breeze brushed past them with the smell of fish. At that moment, Myra’s hair was flowing in the wind, occasionally brushing Tony’s neck and even his face, which tickled him.
Tony simply wrapped her hair around his hand and played with it, whereas Myra didn’t stop this silly gesture. Everything about them was unfamiliar at the moment, so their chemistry was also heightened.
“Then you have to remember what you said today. You have to take me to all the places that we haven’t ventured to,” she said in a serious manner.
Hearing this, Tony nodded. “We still have a lot of time. We can definitely travel around the world in this lifetime,” he said with great enthusiasm. There was nothing he couldn’t achieve once he put his mind to it.
Myra believed him too. At this moment, she felt like she had been with Tony for a lifetime. Looking at him, she felt like she could see the vicissitudes of life. As long as her future days were spent with him, every single day would be a brand new and perfect day.
“Are you hungry?” he asked. Pregnant women needed to eat more frequently in smaller portions to ensure adequate nutrition.
“No. I had some snacks on the plane.” She still wanted to stroll along the beach. Though she wanted to feel the waves, the sea wasn’t as gentle in the evening as it was during the day.
This was a lush green country. When she turned around, she saw a dense greenery not far away. She planned to explore the woods tomorrow.
“There’s a curious look in your eyes. You’re dying to explore this island.” Tony’s eyes kept following Myra, noting all of her little movements.
“The island is surrounded by water, and it’s standing independently in the sea. It’s like a separate space, like a little world on its own. This feeling is indescribable. It’s like being able to see the entirety of this small world at a glance, and the end and edges of this world. It’s a wonderful feeling.” She thought out loud.
“Good point. Might as well write it down. When we’re home, you can publish a book of travel insights,” Tony said half-jokingly.
“I haven’t done this kind of thing for a long time, and I don’t think I have the words to express myself well.” She disagreed with his statement as she thought she could never be a writer.
