This place belongs to Eugene. I’ve only been here once, and that was with him. So why does he own so many of these entertainment venues? Could it be that he’s the one who’s not so decent?”

Gavin felt the blame being shifted to him and quickly deflected it onto Eugene.

Madeline stroked her chin. “Is dat true?”

He didn’t say much more and continued singing

The two of them sang for an hour. Madeline started to feel sleepy. She leaned against Gavin, yawned into the microphone, and eventually fell asleep.

When Gavin finished his last song, he looked down to find her eyes closed, her eyelashes curled, and her cheeks glowing warmly with the flush of sleep.

He laid Madeline on the couch, draped his jacket over her, and mouthed, “Sweet dreams”

Madeline didn’t remember when she fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found herself already in the airport. Still groggy and disoriented, she was guided onto the plane with Gavin holding her hand.

Sitting by the window, she watched the scenery recede and the clouds come closer.

Her threat felt a bit dry, so she reached out, and Gavin immediately handed her a bottle of water.

“How did I end up at the airport? How did you get me here?” Madeline asked.

“I carried you. You were sleeping soundly, so I was very gentle…” Gavin chuckled, rubbing her hand. “When I placed you in a seat in the waiting hall,

a little boy asked me why I was carrying you. I asked him, ‘Do you think she is very beautiful?‘ He said, “Yes.

“So, I told him. I carry her around because she’s Sleeping Beauty, and when she opens her eyes and sees me first, she’ll marry me © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Madeline couldn’t help but smile and gave him a gentle punch on the arm. “What nonsense were you spouting! You were fooling the kid.”

“How could I be fooling him! 1 was just telling a fairy tale. Gavin paused briefly. “Maddie, we’ve already taken off from Japrium, and we’re headed to our next stop: Aralia”

“Nope, not this year,” Gavin rubbed her hands. “It’s too cold, so I thought I’d take you somewhere warm for a vacation. You didn’t pack anything. we’ll just buy everything new once we get there. This is a spontaneous trip. Isn’t it romantic? Does it tug at your lieart!”

Madeline looked at Gavin, feeling strange. “Since you picked me up yesterday, you’ve been keeping in entertained. Now we’re even going abroad Am I dying or something, and you are trying to make me happy in my final days?”

You can’t use mobile payment overseas, right?” Gavin replied. “Don’t worry, I’ve got money.

She leaned back in her seat. “So, are the attempts to him me down back home that intense? It’s strange–the Williams family has become so formidable that you’re this wary of them!”

Gavin, seeing that she had caught on, grinned. “Six of the Top Ten Families have teamed up to hunt you down. They’re not much of a threat, but after that poisoning incident, we realized even a small mistake could put you in real danger. It’s safer for you to stay abroad for a while. There, the influence of those six families is limited, but our influence is quite strong.”

Gavin teased. “Jimmy is waiting for you in Aralia. Don’t you want to see him? It’s not easy for him to make time to meet.

“Jimmy“” Madeline’s eyes lit up. “He’s always been so secretive. I never knew where he went, and it’s been ages since I’ve seen him”

She was suddenly filled with anticipation for the trip.

When they landed and walked out of the hall, they immediately saw a man holding a sign that read, “Madeline Larson, Gavin Newton.” He was leaning against the railing, looking around. His handsome fare had tanned a bit from the sun.

As soon as Madeline spotted him, she ran over excitedly, “Jimmy!”

Jimmy lifted her up in a big hug, spinning her around. “Maddie, I’ve missed you so much!”

Gavin, watching the overly affectionate scene, grimaced. “Jimmy, am I invisible?”

Jimmy chuckled, put Madeline down, and hugged Gavin. “Long time no see, Gavvy!
