Chapter 1534 Missing Jewelry
At this moment, a small yacht was sailing away from the pier and out to the sea. Nigel was steering the yacht himself since he had plenty of experience. On the other hand, Queenie stood beside him. It was her first experience going out to sea, so her heart was racing in her chest. She kept a tight grip on his shirt and clung to the railing nearby anxiously, not daring to release her grip.
“Come here. I’ll teach you.” He slowed the yacht down and pulled her over to the steering wheel. Then, he circled her with both arms around the sides of her waist and pressed his strong chest firmly against her back.
The sudden intimacy made her heart race again. At the same time, she couldn’t help feeling exhilarated. Sure enough, all her worries from before had vanished into nothing. Her heart was currently overflowing with joy and excitement.
“Wow! I know how to steer the yacht now!” After driving the yacht for a few minutes, she suddenly exclaimed in pure delight.
His gaze landed on her face. The sea breeze toyed with her long hair, revealing her delicate face. Her appearance was absolutely sweet and alluring.
Seeing how happy she was, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Moreover, the smile on her face made the corners of his mouth lift in response. They stopped the yacht in the middle of the calm sea and sat on the deck to stare up at the starry sky above them, admiring the full moon and boundless sea stretching out before them.
Queenie’s depressed mood from before was completely gone. Sitting here in the middle of the sea, she was in very high spirits. There was nothing that could disrupt her wonderful mood at the moment.
A small wave came, causing her to jump in fright and throw herself into the arms of the man beside her. Nigel was caught unprepared, so he was pinned to the deck by her weight. They were so close that their faces were almost touching.
Taken aback by the close distance, she stiffened and tried to pull away. However, an arm suddenly snaked around her waist and prevented her from moving. “Since you’ve already gone to the trouble of pushing me down, I’m not letting you leave just like that.”
Her complexion turned beet red at those words. How could I dare to pin him down?! Everything happened by accident!
The starlight and moonlight above their heads illuminated the world with a silvery light. The light from the yacht also shrouded around them. The man’s handsome face was the preference of most women—masculine yet delicate. In particular, the lines of his perfect jawline were sharper than her entire life’s plan.
All of a sudden, his Adam’s Apple rolled slightly as though he was swallowing nervously. She blushed and tried to get off him, but a palm suddenly pressed down on the back of her head at this moment.
