Chapter 286

Mason followed her gaze and saw Sydney chatting with someone.

A breeze blew over the deck every now and then, making it a bit chilly, but Sydney’s dress was quite thin.

A light gray, sleeveless long gown, made of sheer fabric. The deck lights, bright as daylight, shone on her dress, creating a soft glow that made her look absolutely stunning.

Her makeup was also exquisite, with her long hair loosely braided behind her head and her bangs casually falling on her forehead, giving her an elegant look. Add to that her professional smile as an actress, and even Celeste, who really disliked her, had to admit Sydney looked absolutely beautiful tonight.

Mason guessed, “Maybe she was invited by the organizers to perform in a play.”

The cruise ship had a large theater with three performances a day, and Sydney might have been one of the performers.

*Can the organizers afford her?‘ Celeste asked.

Usually, cruise ship theaters invite professional theater or music groups to perform. Having someone like Sydney performing in a play would decrease the theater’s profits.

As they were chatting, they heard Nicolas teasing them from behind. “I told you she was on the deck! There’s only so much space on the ship; it’s not like she could have swum home!”

Celeste turned around to see Liam approaching her with a serious expression on his face.

He walked up to her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to him. “What are you doing running around like this? Aren’t you afraid you’ll fall overboard?” This man never has anything nice to say!

She glared at him after pulling her hand back. “Even if I did fall, I wouldn’t need you to save me!”

Liam glanced at her and said casually, “Regardless of who saves you, I’d still have to pay the rescue fees since I spent so much money marrying you.”

Celeste was stumped. That sentence sounded strange. It wasn’t a taunt, but rather showed a hint of helplessness.

“Mason, where did you go just now?” Nicolas suddenly asked.

Celeste thought Mason would be honest, but he said, “I went back to the room for a bit, and I ran into Celeste on my way out.”
