Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1251-1260

“Can’t I yell my feelings?” Queenie couldn’t keep her emotions bottled up any longer.

“Go ahead and yell all you like!” Nigel smiled.

Reaching up, she cupped her hands around the sides of her mouth, faced the sea stretching out into the horizon before her, and screamed at the top of her lungs. “Ahhh!!!”

It felt as though she had finally found an outlet to vent all the anger and frustration she suffered throughout the past year. She even had tears in her eyes after screaming a few times in quick succession.

“Come on! Why don’t you join me?” she suggested to the man standing behind her.

Nigel rarely did such things, but he couldn’t help being dragged along by her. When she let out another scream, he finally set aside his pride as a young master.

“Ahhh!!!” he yelled to his heart’s content.

After they were done yelling their hearts out, Queenie abruptly burst into laughter. It was at this moment that she stepped on a stone and lost her footing. In response, she instinctively threw herself into his arms and held onto him tightly.

At the same time, his long arms reached out to wrap around her waist to help her regain her footing.

She was still a little out of breath when she suddenly realized that the face of the man standing beside her was more attractive than the setting sun. Thus, she couldn’t help staring at him blankly for a few seconds.

In his eyes, her hair was slightly disheveled from the sea breeze. Despite her wind-blown hair, her eyes were incredibly bright and clear while her cherry-red lips were moist and glistening. It almost seemed as though she was silently inviting him to ravish her.

Queenie’s pretty face abruptly heated up in embarrassment when she realized what was going through his mind at this moment. Nevertheless, she only blinked once before she obediently closed her eyes.

Nigel smiled slightly at the sight. Leaning down, he lightly pressed his thin lips against her scarlet lips.

Her lips felt like a drug that enticed him into addiction. Once he had a taste of her lips, he couldn’t bring himself to pull away again.

On the other hand, she finally had her first experience of a passionate kiss. Her thick long hair fluttered in the sea breeze and wrapped around them. Meanwhile, the kiss became even more intense and passionate.

A brief period passed before he finally released her. They pressed their foreheads together, gasping and out of breath. Her pretty face looked rather flustered. Moreover, it felt as though their heartbeats were resonating with each other.

It was also Nigel’s first time having feelings for somebody else. He discovered that the emotions swirling in him were completely different from the feelings he had when he first came across Anastasia.

The stark disparity allowed him to clearly distinguish between these two emotions. His feelings for Anastasia had been nothing more than a sense of gratitude. Conversely, the feelings he experienced at this moment—the feelings he had for Queenie—were actual feelings of love. They stemmed from a sense of possessiveness that rose from the bottom of his heart, telling him that he could not afford to lose her again.

Likewise, Queenie was also experiencing a violent turbulence in her heart at this moment. When she first got engaged to Leslie, she had believed that she was deeply in love with him. It was not until now that she understood what it truly meant to be in love with somebody else.

Love was the emotion she experienced at this moment—it was the feeling of opening her heart to somebody without considering the consequences and choosing instead to fully accept and trust the other party.

“Let’s date!” Nigel’s fiery gaze locked onto the woman in his arms.

She once mentioned that she would take this matter into consideration, but at this moment, she nodded without hesitation and responded with a smile. “Okay.”

The sunset gradually disappeared into the horizon, and their surroundings became dark. Thus, he drove her back to the main road.

They drove for another ten minutes. Finally, they went around a corner and came to a hotel that resembled a crystal palace rising from the boundless sea under the vast starry sky. The hotel was overflowing with a sense of elegance and luxury; it was like a lighthouse on the sea that would never be extinguished.

Queenie was shocked. I can’t believe this is part of his family’s hotel business! The prices here are not something ordinary people can even hope to afford!

The sports car came to a halt in front of the hotel. Under the darkness of night, the blue landscape lights that shone across the parking lot resembled a feast of lights. The luxury car stood in the midst of these lights, like a luxury car on display.

She got out of the car, feeling a little confused about the direction. At this moment, a large yet strong hand reached out and firmly held her hand. “Come with me.”

They walked into the luxurious lobby, and the manager immediately came over to greet them. “Mr. Manson, you’re here.”

“Yes. I came here to relax, not to work.” Nigel replied.

The manager secretly breathed out a sigh of relief. Thank God. There’s nothing scarier than an unannounced inspection by Mr. Manson.

The manager had noticed that Nigel was holding hands with a woman. It was a sight he had never seen before. Likewise, the beautiful receptionists at the front desk stared at Queenie in envy. It had to be said that all the unmarried ladies working at the hotels in Averna regarded pursuing Nigel as their ultimate goal in life.

With that in mind, how could this woman who walked into the hotel while holding hands with him not arouse their envy and jealousy?

Nigel had a private suite in this hotel for his exclusive use. It was part of the special treatment that he enjoyed thanks to his family—all the hotels under the management of the Manson Group had a presidential suite that was exclusively set aside for his use.

Bonnie was having dinner at the Silverstein Residence while listening to the conversation between her parents. All of a sudden, her mother said something that made her choke on her food.

“Queenie just informed us that she’s not coming home tonight. That girl is a grown-up now. It looks like we can’t treat her like a child and control her decisions anymore.”

Bonnie looked up and exclaimed, “Mom, aren’t you going to make Queenie come home?”

Maggie decided to respect her elder daughter’s decision. “Forget it. Just leave her be!”

Bonnie secretly clenched her fists at those words. Is that to say that Queenie is free to do as she pleases now? She is free to date Nigel without inhibitions?! She won’t be tied down by parental constraints anymore?!

Inside the hotel, Nigel guided Queenie to the restaurant on the highest floor. As soon as they walked into the restaurant, a sweet voice rang out in surprise. “Hi, Nigel.”

Queenie glanced in the direction of the woman who called out Nigel’s name and immediately recognized the woman. That woman was Lina Perez, one of the main members among the wealthy who once studied abroad and the daughter of a leading electronics manufacturer in Averna.

He glanced in that direction without much interest. Meanwhile, Lina got up from her chair and greeted him enthusiastically.

“Nigel, why don’t you join us for dinner?” she asked while pointing at the table she came from.

Queenie felt her heart sinking when she heard the invitation, and the first thought that popped up in her mind was: Please don’t let us share a table! Fortunately, an arm suddenly draped itself around her shoulder at this moment. It was followed by a deep voice. “I’m sorry. I would like to have a private dinner with my girlfriend.”

Lina’s gaze immediately shifted from Nigel’s face to Queenie, and she stared at Queenie incredulously. This ordinary-looking woman actually caught Nigel’s eyes?!

Whether in terms of appearance, figure, or family background, Nigel was one of the most sought-after bachelors in Averna. As such, he had become the prey that many unmarried wealthy young ladies were eyeing hungrily. They had exhausted every means available in order to marry into the Manson Family, but he had never given any of them the slightest chance to succeed in their endeavors.

Lina was one of those young ladies.

Her emotions at this moment were extremely complicated and tainted by jealousy. In order to pursue him, she had used all sorts of methods to inquire about his preferences and tried her best to make herself into the kind of woman he liked.

Despite her best efforts, she suddenly learned that a woman who was incomparable to her in every way had become Nigel’s girlfriend. It was a direct insult to her.

“I don’t think I’ve met this lady before! What is your name?” she inquired with a smile.

“Hello, my name is Queenie Silverstein.” Queenie greeted politely. Lina might not know her, but she knew Lina.

There was a smile on Lina’s face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She simply said, “I see. Well then, I won’t disturb your dinner with each other.”

After saying that, she returned to her seat. Meanwhile, Nigel escorted Queenie to the best seat in the restaurant. It was a seat by the window that had been specially reserved for them.

When Queenie sat down, she felt several jealous gazes shooting toward her from the direction of Lina’s table. Although she calmly accepted their resentment, it was the first time she fully understood that becoming Nigel’s girlfriend was an extremely stressful matter.

Lina picked up her phone and dialed a series of numbers. Then, she spoke to the person on the other end of the phone with great resentment. “Investigate a woman for me. Her name is Queenie Silverstein.”

After she finished speaking, she hung up immediately. The other women sitting around her immediately leaned over and whispered in low voices. “Lina, she doesn’t compare to you in any way! In my opinion, there’s nothing worthy about her except for the fact that she seems to be two years younger than you!”

“That’s right! She doesn’t have the charm to fascinate Mr. Manson!”

“She must have used some sort of vicious and dirty trick! Lina, don’t give up! Whether or not she can become the young mistress of the Manson Family remains unknown!”

“That’s right! You are more qualified to be the young mistress of the Manson Family than her!”

Thanks to the adulation of her friends, Lina cheered up slightly. It was true that she had such confidence in herself. She fixed her gaze on Queenie, who was sitting under the light. She looks so innocent and naïve. I’m sure she won’t be a match for me.

Queenie was happily eating away when she suddenly recalled her family matters. She immediately became preoccupied with the heavy emotions weighing down on her heart.

Nigel noticed the change in her mood and placed her favorite snack on her plate. “Don’t worry about those frustrating matters when you’re with me.”

“My younger sister has always been a troublemaker ever since she entered the family. I’m worried that she might cause some sort of trouble that would prevent my parents from living their lives peacefully.” She propped her chin on her hand and continued, “If I had known earlier, I would have arranged for her to be engaged to Leslie. If only I had met you a few days later…”

He narrowed his eyes in confusion. “Why? What would change if you met me a few days later?”

She snapped back to the present and quickly smiled reassuringly. “It’s nothing.”
