Chapter 399

After more than ten hours, I drove straight to the airport.

Along the way, I dropped Mrs. Eriksen a message, informing her that I won’t be returning for the night.

As I needed to turn off my phone for the flight, I sent Ashton a message telling him that I was busy. After

that, I arrived at the airport and boarded a flight for M Country.

As it was a long flight, I drifted in and out of sleep on the plane. By the time I woke up, there were a few

more hours before arrival. Hence, I took out the books I bought at the airport to read.

Along the way, the flight made a transit stop. I went to the ladies and grabbed a bite at the transit airport.

When it was time to board again, I almost forgot my book and ran back to get it.

“Ah!” While rushing back out, I crashed into a lady in killer heels.

She was holding a can of Coke which spilled all over her clothes while the beach hat she was wearing

dropped onto the floor, revealing her blonde hair.

“My clothes!” she exclaimed.

I quickly helped her clean up with a napkin. While I apologized profusely, I picked up the things she

dropped.

Having calmed down, I finally got a good look at her. She had deep blue eyes, chiseled features, and

flawless white skin.

She was so gorgeous that even I couldn’t peel my eyes away from her.

“Luckily it’s just Coke and my clothes are dark in color. Or else, it would be impossible to remove the

stains. Miss, you are really lucky!” she remarked.

Feeling bad for what I did, I apologized again as I handed her hat back to her.

Shrugging her shoulders, she didn’t say anything further. As she put on her cap, she mumbled, “Mr.

White must be wondering where I am.”

With that, she headed to the boarding gate.

After getting my book from the cafe, I boarded the plane again. When I took my seat, I saw the blonde

from just now sitting on the other side of the aisle.

She had put her hat back on together with a pair of sunglasses. Also, she was holding a book. When I

glanced at it, I realized it was the same book that I was reading—”And Then There Were None.”

When John saw that I was reading “Murder on the Orient Express, “he complained that I was boring. I

wondered who doesn’t like reading whodunnits on a plane.

Noticing that I was looking in her direction, the girl looked back at me in surprise as she removed her

glasses, revealing her deep blue eyes. “It’s you again!”

I smiled slightly. “I’m sorry about just now. I’m really sorry.”

Shrugging her shoulders, she replied, “Stop apologizing. I told you it was nothing.”

When she saw the book in my hand, she gasped in surprise. “You’re reading the same book as I am. Mr.

White always says that the girl he fancies likes to read it too.”

I couldn’t help but find the girl adorable. I replied with a smile, “It’s a very long flight, so I decided to read

to while away the time.”

She agreed. “Mr. White, says the exact same thing. He loves to read during flights to pass time. Even I

have been influenced by him to do the same.”

Despite sounding like she was complaining, I was amused at how she kept bringing up Mr. White in her

conversation. “You seem too young to be married.”

She seemed embarrassed. “Not yet. I just got engaged. The wedding will be in May.”

As the plane was about to take off, the flight attendant adjusted the tray tables and inspected the cabin.

In the first few minutes the plane soared into the air, I put my book aside and closed my eyes to

rest.

As most of the distance had been covered before the transit, we arrived at our destination shortly.

At the M Country airport.

Due to the long and strenuous flight and the fact that I didn’t sleep for two days, I felt light headed when I

disembarked from the plane.

When the blonde noticed that I didn’t look well, she approached me and asked, “Do you need help?”

I shook my head with a faint smile. “I’m alright. I’m just feeling disorientated from disembarking. I’ll be

fine in a while.”

She helped me to a seat in the rest area and got me a cup of water. “I know people from your country

prefer warm water but it’s not readily available here. So, please make do for the moment.”

I smiled as I received the water. “Thank you!”

My dizziness was likely caused by not having proper sleep over the last few days. After sitting a

while, the girl looked at me and asked, “Are you in M Country to see a friend?”

I nodded. “My husband is here, so I’m going to see him.”

She gasped in surprise. “You look really young still. I didn’t expect you to be married.”

I laughed. “Aren’t you also engaged despite being equally young?”

The moment I brought up her fiancé, she easily became shy. “But we aren’t married yet.”

Just as she spoke, the phone in her pocket began to ring. Giving me an apologetic look, she remarked

softly, “Let me get that first.”

With that, she answered her phone in a sweet tone. “Hello, Darling, I have already landed. However, I

just met another lady who isn’t feeling well. So, I’m just helping her settle down. I’ll be out in a short

while.”
