Chapter 1384

Martin pondered with a hint of mischief in his eyes, "How about | surprise you with something like this next time?"

Serena remained silent, feeling an undeniable chasm between him and the charm she found in Romeo. There was just no

comparison!

She was settling, and she knew it.

Martin suggested a stroll through the sunflower fields, but her gaze kept drifting towards the hot air balloon tethered nearby. It

wasn't flying far, and she could clearly see a couple locked in an embrace, sharing a kiss that was all too glaring for her.

It was such an eyesore!

Noticing her discontent, Martin tried to cheer her up with a soft proposal, “Hey Serena, wantto snap a pic of you with my

phone? You could post it on Facebook."

“Forget it," Serena replied, uninterested. "Taking pictures on someone else's turf feels like mooching off their moment. Don't worry

about me. | just want stto myself."

Martin felt a pang of quilt, realizing he should have planned ahead to avoid disappointing her.

Up in the hot air balloon.

Romeo's lips lingered on the girl's, his hand gently caressing her slender waist.

Arabella responded to his fervent affection, and after a while, she felt his passionate kisses begin to wander downward.

"Romeo.

Her soft call made him pause, his eyes still filled with lingering adoration, "Hmm?"

“There are people watching below."

Arabella looked down at the stunning vista—the sprawling lavender fields were a breathtaking masterpiece.

"I never realized how beautiful lavender could look from this angle."

“You're even more beautiful." Romeo embraced her from behind, sharing the view. “If you like it, we can chere more often."

Arabella knew their twas limited; they both had busy lives and rarely had moments to enjoy the scenery in quiet like they were

now.

"Ssights are worth seeing just once."

“No matter how many times you want to see it, I'll be there with you. If you get tired of it, we'll find a new place.

If not, I'll stay until you've had your fill"

Serena, watching the hot air balloon with its occupants still aloft, could only imagine the intimate whispers shared in that close

embrace. It was maddening.

Martin glanced at the couple in the sky and then at Serena beside him. He cautiously reached for her hand, hoping to ease her

irritation.

Serena felt a surge of aversion but was also aware that she needed to give Martin sencouragement. He had to be firmly

attached to her, willing to give his all.

Martin was surprised when Serena didn't pull away. His smile grew sweet and content. He was careful not to hurt her, holding her

hand with a tenderness that was almost fearful.

The couple in the balloon kissed again, with Romeo leaning in, seemingly insatiable, driving Serena to the brink of envy.

If only Romeo had been that assertive and gentle with her.

Why had he been so cold to her in the past, almost annoyed, yet so smitten with Arabella?

Martin, sensing she was still upset, followed her gaze. In the warm sunlight, the couple in the balloon seemed to melt into each

other with their kiss.

Martin, too, longed to kiss her, to melt away her anger.

But as he leaned in, Serena turned away, her eyes flashing with irritation and reluctance.

Realizing he had crossed a line, Martin apologized, "Sorry, | got ahead of myself.

"Do you wantor my heart?" Serena suddenly looked up, her voice tinged with anger.
