Chapter 625
“You’ll do anything for this child, won’t you?” Jack’s smile made my skin crawl. “In that case, keeping it isn’t such a bad idea.”
I followed Jack from the cabin to the deck.
As we were getting off the boat, he insisted on holding my hand, and I couldn’t break free.
“Jack.”
I turned to see a man in a purple suit walking over.
as very pale, but his lips were red.
With his yellow curls and blue eyes, he really looked like a male fairy.
“Senno.”
Jack introduced me.
“So this is the woman you risked everything to bring back?”
Senno scrutinized me and said, “You seem nice–looking, but besides that, there’s really nothing special about you. Why is he so infatuated with you?”
‘Infatuated?‘
I felt a wave of dizziness, unsure if it was from seasickness or pregnancy.
Silence hung heavily over the scene.
Seeing that I wasn’t saying anything, Senno didn’t continue talking to me.
He turned to Jack, saying, “I’ve arranged a place for her to rest. I need to discuss something with you.”
Jack sensed something was off. “What more do we need to discuss?”
“You help me escape, and I’ll bring Charlotte back. Then everything between us will be settled.”
“I’m only here temporarily, I’ll be leaving in a few days. After that, there will be no need for us to stay in
touch.”
Senno didn’t seem fond of Jack. To him, Jack exuded a dark aura and was crazy.
If it weren’t for Frank, he wouldn’t be wasting his time here.
But for now, he had to maintain appearances.
“A transition also needs a place, I can’t just let you roam freely here. Come with me.”
I didn’t want to be alone with Jack, so I turned to Senno, “Excuse me, sir, I’m hungry. Is there anything to
eat?”
Every moment I could delay was worth it.
Senno had feelings for Frank, but he was also someone who had been preparing to take over the Valin family since childhood.

He had seen various things.
Outsiders might think he was foolish, but that was just his way of protecting himself.
So he could see through my attempt to buy time while waiting for Frank.
“Of course, I even had a chef from your country prepare something.”
I smiled slightly. “But I’d like to try your local dishes. I’ve heard the beef is good.”
Senno seemed helpless. “Well, for that you need something fresh, freshly killed. Knowing you were coming, I prepared dishes from your country. If you want beef, you’ll have to wait a bit.”
I replied, “That’s fine, I can wait.”
Sudden
ck pulled me to his side.
I avoided looking at him, steadying myself while keeping my gaze on Senno.
Jack forcibly turned my face toward him.
