As the ship drew closer, the villagers became increasingly cautious. Due to the approaching vessel's colossal size, they were on high alert and warily fixed their eyes on it until Elisa got off the ship.
She was wearing a black strapless mermaid gown that perfectly accentuated her figure. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes captivating, making her irresistible.
Her fair skin shone in the sunlight.
She was stunningly beautiful.
Elisa's gaze flitted over everyone before finally resting on Gareth, who spotted her at first glance.
The two individuals continued to draw closer, reducing the distance between them.
It took everyone a good while to recognize that the woman was Elisa.
In the meantime, she and Gareth were already in each other's arms.
Their embrace conveyed pure gratitude without a trace of ambiguity or any other implications.
They were grateful to the other person as well as to themselves. Regardless of the process, as long as the outcome is good, that was all that mattered.
Elisa's lips quirked up as she leaned closer to whisper into Gareth's ear, “I've come back for you, b*stard.”
Gareth returned her smile and said, “Indeed, I'm a b*stard. I shouldn't have left you alone. It must have been hard for you. Thank you for coming to pick me up.”
The two embraced, sharing words that only they could understand.
It was not until the village chief came out that they finally separated.
Cough! Cough!
A familiar cough echoed through the air. Everyone turned toward the sound, and unsurprisingly, it was the village chief.
When the village chief heard that Elisa had returned, he found it somewhat unbelievable and hurried over to assess the situation.
Upon seeing Elisa, he was happy and worried at the same time.
The reason was simple. The village chief had already made arrangements to offer a Nomadic Odyssey in exchange for a husband for his daughter.
Doing so might be seen as dishonorable and selfish, but he had dedicated half of his life to his responsibilities and simply couldn't bear to part with his only daughter.
The village chief thought that Elisa would never return.
