Initially, Sophia was worried that Alexander would have difficulty controlling himself. To her surprise, the weight above her suddenly disappeared, and he stopped in his tracks after a passionate kiss that nearly sent Sophia spiraling out of control.

Alexander got up and sat beside her, leaning against the back of the couch. Then, he used his arm to block his eyes from the light as he wrapped another arm around Sophia's waist. When his hand reached Sophia's left hand, the man used his thumb to caress the latter's palm.

The living room was silent as Alexander and Sophia did not speak to each other. The sound of their panting and rapid heartbeat tangled together, making it impossible to differentiate between whose those sounds belonged.

After around thirty seconds, Alexander finally moved. He retracted the arm covering his eyes before gently touching the corner of Sophia's eyes. “Go shower and rest up. We are sailing out to the sea tomorrow.”

He looked at Sophia. There were still traces of the rosiness on her face, a result of their intimate moment earlier. The woman's eyes were soft, and there was some redness near her eyes when she gazed at Alexander.

Alexander's eyes glinted as he shifted his eyes from Sophia with difficulty. “Be good, Precious. Don't look at me that way.”

Rendered speechless by Alexander, Sophia wanted to explain herself but stopped because she knew the more she said, the more mistake she would make. Instead, she got up from the couch, saying, “I'm taking a bath now.”

“Oh, right. I have a yacht.”

Alexander's words were a reminder that they did not need to rent a yacht the next day.

Sophia raised her brows and chuckled when she heard it. “I have one too, Mr. Xenos.”

Alexander peered at her. He lifted his brows too. “The one from last time?”

Sophia nodded. “You are a smart one, Mr. Xenos.”

With that, she turned and headed upstairs while Alexander watched her as she left.

Finally, after Sophia turned the corner, Alexander retracted his gaze. He lowered his eyes as a smile appeared on his face.

The sun rose earlier than usual because it was summer. Sophia woke up then because they needed to sail out to the sea.

Meanwhile, Alexander didn't spend his night at the mansion, so he brought breakfast to her around seven o'clock in the morning.

They went their separate ways after breakfast. Sophia went to fetch Perrin while Alexander got to the harbor to meet the person in charge of maintaining Sophia's yacht, Xavier.

Perrin was an elderly man. He had fallen asleep at around ten o'clock the previous night, so the man woke up before six o'clock in the morning to exercise.

When Sophia arrived to pick Perrin and John up, the duo was already done with their breakfast a long time ago.

“Granddad, how was your sleep last night?”

Perrin glanced at Sophia, smiling. “I don't have trouble falling asleep in a different spot like you and Lukas do.”

Sophia thought, Well, he had a good night's sleep.

“Granddad, my friend will tag along today because he is free. I hope you don't mind.” Sophia smiled.

Perrin didn't think much of the friend that Sophia mentioned. He replied, “Why would I mind? I get the opportunity to meet your friend too! I remember you have two friends that you've been close with since you were young, right?”

“Yes. But they are not free recently.”

“It's fine. Bring them on a trip to Doveston when they have some free time.”

“Sure!”

Sophia noticed the happiness on Perrin's face. A thought flashed across her mind. Will he still be as happy as he is now when he sees Alexander later?

After a forty-five minutes drive, they arrived at the port.

The wind was strong. However, as it was only the beginning of June, the typhoon in Jadeborough was much lesser. It was the perfect time to sail out to the sea.

On the side, one yacht was preparing to sail too. Sophia had seen a few of these people on board before, but she was unfamiliar with them.

Sophia slowly helped Perrin onto the vessel. The latter couldn't help but feel like the yacht was a wise choice when he walked into the cabin and noticed how spacious it was. He asked, “Where's your friend?”

The moment he finished speaking, Alexander strode in. “Hi, Mr. Dawson.”

Perrin's expression turned frosty when he saw Alexander. “Why are you here?”

“Sophia told me she is accompanying you today. Since I'm free, I decided to tag along and keep you company.”

Perrin looked at Sophia, who was smiling. It was then he realized that Sophia was in on the plan too. He glared at Alexander. “I don't need you to accompany me!”

Alexander retorted, “I also want to spend more time with Sophia.”

Perrin didn't know how to respond to that.

Such a shameless prick!

Not only was Perrin musing about how brazen Alexander was, but Sophia was also wondering about the same thing. She blushed, though, at the mention of her name.

Sophia glanced at Alexander before lowering her head to look at Perrin. “Granddad, it's fun to have more people around during sea sailing. It would be really boring if it were just you and me.”
