Noticing her silence, after a long panse, Baron finally broke the fence.

Daron said, “You’re smart enough to figure it out. Just put your mind to it.

His deep voice carried an irresistible allure that was impossible to ignore.

Maria bit her lip, still staring out the window as she replied quicly, “I really can’t figure it out. My head’s killing me.” After saying that, she pulled her sleep mask down, crossed her ans, and went quiet, ignoring Daron completely.

Daron’s brows knitted together as he removed his sleep mask.

He saw Marina had already put hers on, her breathing steady and calm, not a trace of worry from their earlier conversation.

She really meant what she said, not a hint of hesitation on her face.

Daron frowned, his gaze lingering on her serene face for a long moment. He reached out toward her sleep mask, but just as his hand was about to touch it, he pulled back, his expression stiffening.

In the end, he yanked his own sleep mask down over his

eyes.

Marina just wanted to zone out for a bit, so she pulled down her mask, blocking out the world and letting herself escape from everything.

She didn’t expect sleep to hit so fast. Within minutes, she drifted off before she even realized it.

Maybe it was the exhaustion from days of barely sleeping, but today, up in the air, she finally got some real rest.

When she woke up and slipped off her sleep mask, Marina peeked out the window and saw that the plane was already coming in for landing.

She could see the runway stretching out below, clear as day.

After putting her sleep mask away, Marina turned to check on Daron. She hesitated, wondering if she should wake him, only to realize he was already awake, watching her with a cool, unreadable look as he spoke in a low voice.

“Did you go out stealing cows last night or something?” Daron asked.

His voice was thick with resentment.

Marina paused, a little confused. “Did you call me?”

‘Was I really that knocked out? I didn’t feel a thing, Marina wondered to herself.

Daron didn’t answer. He just looked away from her, checked his watch, and said in a low voice.

“You slept for a full seven hours. Way to go,” he said.

Marina just grinned awkwardly and didn’t say a word.

No way I slept that long, right?‘ she mused.

But then she realized they’d already flown from Vrufield all the way to Frency’s capital. So it really had been that long.

Daron exhaled deeply, his chest heaving a little.

With a resigned sigh, he tore his gaze away from Marina, worried that if he kept looking, he’d just end up making himself even more mad.

The plane landed smoothly, taxied down the runway for a while, and then came to a stop.

Marina followed Daron out of the airport, and as soon as they stepped outside, a car from the Zamora Group’s local branch was already waiting for them.

The driver came over, took Marina’s luggage, and then gestured for her to get in the car.

Marina glanced at Daron, who was already settled in the back seat. Remembering what Bette had said, she hesitated for a moment, then went to open the front passenger door.

But Daron shot her a sharp, icy glare, and the handle suddenly felt scorching in her hand.

She reached out and tried to pull it open, but the door didn’t budge, not even a little. It was locked tight.

Marina bit her lip, feeling Daron’s cold, piercing gaze on her. With her head down and under his intimidating stare, she had no choice but to slide into the back seat.

Daron’s stare sent a chill down her spine.

She managed an awkward grin, trying to explain herself.

“I… I get carsick sometimes, so I wanted to sit up front,” she said.

Daron gave her a frosty look and said in a low voice.

“Honestly, you look way more energetic than I do. Doesn’t look like you’re carsick to me,” he said.

Marina gave an awkward smile. “I’m just faking it. I might look lively, but honestly, I’m running on fumes.”

Daron gave her a sidelong look, but let it slide instead of calling her out any further.

Marina got the hint and kept quiet.

The driver hopped in, fired up the engine, and they headed off.

Marina sat in the back seat, gazing out the window.

Honestly, this was her first time ever going abroad.
