Joe chuckled, "What does it matter? There's only the two of us on the boat, even if it sinks..."
Charlotte gave him a disapproving look, so Joe quickly changed his tune, "I promise it'll be fine; don't you trust me?"
Even though the amnesic her had only known Joe for a short time, she had to admit he was trustworthy.
Seeing his confidence, Charlotte slowly relaxed and took hold of the yacht's steering wheel.
Meanwhile, Joe intentionally or unintentionally stood behind her, placing his hands on the wheel from behind.
For a moment, the distance between them closed, Charlotte looked back at him but said nothing.
Knowing that this was her tacit consent, Joe's lips curled into a smile. But he also knew it was not the time to make further moves, so he pretended nothing had happened and focused on teaching Charlotte how to sail.
What he didn't notice was that, as he was earnestly sailing the yacht, Charlotte's body also relaxed slightly.
And so, the two of them took the yacht all the way to the open sea.
Surrounded by the vast blue ocean, it felt as if only their yacht was left between the sky and the earth. Charlotte stood on the deck and suddenly felt an illusion that they were the only two people left in the world.
All the conspiracies and pressures seemed to be far away from her.
"Fancy some fishing?" Joe pulled out two sets of fishing gear from somewhere and handed them to Charlotte, "They say deep-sea fishing gives you the greatest sense of accomplishment. Want to give it a try?"
Charlotte also became interested. She followed Joe's example, hooked the bait on the fishing line, and cast the fishing rod into the sea.
It must be said that Joe chose an excellent spot. In no time, Charlotte caught a grouper weighing around two pounds.
She looked at Joe excitedly, "I caught one!"
Joe looked at the grouper in her hand and her bright smile, and he slowly smiled, "You're really good!"
