Chapter 1384


    Martin pondered with a hint of mischief in his eyes, "How about I surprise you with something like this


    next time?"


    Serena remained silent, feeling an undeniable chasm between him and the charm she found in Romeo.


    There was just noparison!


    She was settling, and she knew it.


    Martin suggested a stroll through the sunflower fields, but her gaze kept drifting towards the hot air


    balloon tethered nearby. It wasn''t flying far, and she could clearly see a couple locked in an embrace,


    sharing a kiss that was all too ring for her.


    It was such an eyesore!


    Noticing her discontent, Martin tried to cheer her up with a soft proposal, “Hey Serena, want me to snap


    a pic of you with my phone? You could post it on Facebook."


    “Forget it," Serena replied, uninterested. "Taking pictures on someone else''s turf feels like mooching off


    their moment. Don''t worry about me. I just want some time to myself."


    Martin felt a pang of quilt, realizing he should have nned ahead to avoid disappointing her.


    Up in the hot air balloon.


    Romeo''s lips lingered on the girl''s, his hand gently caressing her slender waist.


    Arabe responded to his fervent affection, and after a while, she felt his passionate kisses begin to


    wander downward.


    "Romeo.


    Her soft call made him pause, his eyes still filled with lingering adoration, "Hmm?"


    “There are people watching below."


    Arabe looked down at the stunning vista—the sprawlingvender fields were a breathtaking


    masterpiece.


    "I never realized how beautifulvender could look from this angle."


    “You''re even more beautiful." Romeo embraced her from behind, sharing the view. “If you like it, we can

    scenery in quiet like they were now.


    "Some sights are worth seeing just once."


    “No matter how many times you want to see it, I''ll be there with you. If you get tired of it, we''ll find a


    new ce.


    If not, I''ll stay until you''ve had your fill"


    Serena, watching the hot air balloon with its upants still aloft, could only imagine the intimate


    whispers shared in that close embrace. It was maddening.


    Martin nced at the couple in the sky and then at Serena beside him. He cautiously reached for her


    hand, hoping to ease her irritation.


    Serena felt a surge of aversion but was also aware that she needed to give Martin some


    encouragement. He had to be firmly attached to her, willing to give his all.


    Martin was surprised when Serena didn''t pull away. His smile grew sweet and content. He was careful


    not to hurt her, holding her hand with a tenderness that was almost fearful.


    The couple in the balloon kissed again, with Romeo leaning in, seemingly insatiable, driving Serena to


    the brink of envy.


    If only Romeo had been that assertive and gentle with her.


    Why had he been so cold to her in the past, almost annoyed, yet so smitten with Arabe?


    Martin, sensing she was still upset, followed her gaze. In the warm sunlight, the couple in the balloon


    seemed to melt into each other with their kiss.


    Martin, too, longed to kiss her, to melt away her anger.


    But as he leaned in, Serena turned away, her eyes shing with irritation and reluctance.


    Realizing he had crossed a line, Martin apologized, "Sorry, I got ahead of myself.


    "Do you want me or my heart?" Serena suddenly looked up, her voice tinged with anger.
