Chapter 77

She smiled and shook her head as if she had succeeded in a prank.She continued to watch the lively
performance on the beach.

After a while, his vision was obscured by a figure that suddenly appeared.Anika raised her head.

The boy in front of her was somewhat familiar.

He was the boy she met in the bar yesterday.

After thinking for a while, the boy must also be a tourist, so it's not strange for them to come here to
watch the festival ceremony.

Looking at the empty seat beside Anika, the boy, named Kiefer Tan took the lead and said, "Hey! I saw
you two separate just after you left the door yesterday.It didn't seem like the two of you are a married
couple"

The implication was that Anika had deliberately used Zac to send him off at the bar.

After leaving the bar yesterday, Anika was indeed a few steps behind Zac because she was thinking
about something in her heart.

"What do you want to say?"

She asked, raising her eyebrows.

Kiefer smiled, "I was there when you were shopping at the root carving shop yesterday.My name is
Kiefer Tan.I just want to make friends with you."

Yesterday, she chose root carving and gave the old root carving master a big tip.



He had never seen such a gentle and kind girl before, and he really wanted to know her when he met
her.

Anika raised her eyes, and her gaze passed Kiefer in front of her and landed on the man with dark
eyes behind him.

Kiefer also seemed to have noticed something.

He frowned and turned his head.

Seeing the man whom he had met yesterday, he opened his mouth and said, "You .."

He had originally thought that the two of them had only met by chance.

Anika stood up and held Zac's hand.

Sensing that he was slightly unhappy, she paused for a moment and comforted the man with a kiss on
the hard side of his face.

Then he looked at Kiefer and said, "You misunderstood.He is indeed my husband.Yesterday, we just
had an awkward time."

‘If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you'll be in danger again”

After a moment of silence, Zac lowered his eyes to look at her, then glanced at Kiefer.

Zac said softly, "We are having an awkward time.What's wrong? Is this something this gentleman can't
seem to understand?"

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't understand, it's fine.When you get
married, you'll eventually understand.However, you should not meddle with other people's partners.Am
I right?"



The man looked very serious, but only Anika knew that as he spoke, his finger lightly scratched her
palm, causing her skin to itch.

She pretended to be fine.

After being ridiculed for a while, Kiefer's expression turned ugly.

He paused for a moment before turning around and leaving.

Anika turned her head and looked at Zac.

She sighed and smiled, "Zac, why are you so jealous?"

The two of them sat back in their seats.

Zac pursed his lower lips and frowned slightly.

After a long silence, he glanced at her and asked softly, "Do you hate it when I’m like this?"

Anika was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was asking if she hated him for being
jealous.

She thought about it carefully and shook her head gently, "Actually, I can't say it's annoying."

She paused for a moment and then explained, "Probably because I think you're jealous since you care
about me?"

If he was calm at this moment, he wouldn't be in the slightest bit of mood, and he wouldn't seem to be
so happy.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, Zac suddenly looked at her and smiled, "Then you're
wrong.’’



Without waiting for Anika to ask, the man raised his eyebrows leisurely and said to her, "If I learn how
to be generous and not jealous, then it means I don't care about you anymore?"

Looking at his arrogant posture, Anika couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter as she leaned
against his neck.

The performance of the festival at the beach ended.

It was getting late and the crowd started to disperse.

Zac pulled her to her feet, but he did not want to return to the hotel.

He said that he wanted to take her to another place.

When she went out just now, Anika wore a pair of flats with her feet exposed.

As she walked on the beach, her flats started to collect sand.

The sand on the beach was a little wet, and it wasn't easy to clean up.

It felt a little uncomfortable when it stuck to her feet.

Zac saw her slow down and turned around to ask, "Do you want a piggyback?"

Although it was a question, the man already kneeled to piggyback Anika.

The seaside was silent, only the sound of tides advancing and retreating could be heard.

There was no one around, so Anika stopped being shy and hugged the man's neck.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know when we get there."



Anika was suspicious, but she liked the thrill.

Zac carried her on his back for more than ten minutes.

After leaving the beach, he did not put her down.

Finally, he arrived at a higher mountain.

Looking down from there, the night scenery on the island could be seen.

However, what surprised Anika was the set-up in front of her after she was put down by the man.

The surroundings were carefully arranged, and the ground was covered with sparks of candles and
flowers.

It led to a narrow path.

At the end of the path, a swing wrapped in flower vines stood there quietly.

Zac led her to the swing.

"What is this?"

She looked back at him.

Just as she finished speaking, a few whoosh sounds came ...

Colorful fireworks suddenly rose in the dim sky, and resplendent colors bloomed in the air.

Bright flames filled the black sky and made it blurred and dreamy for a long time.

In a trance, the man's deep and mellow voice sounded, "Here is a gift for my wife.”



Anika turned her head and saw a wooden box handed over by Zac.The red paint on the corner of the
box had been knocked off quite a bit, and it looked very old.She opened the box in a daze.

Inside it was an old pocket watch, something she was very familiar with.

When Anika saw the words on the lid of the wooden box, her eyes immediately became moist and
tears started to form.

Written in the paper was "Nika, I can't spend your birthday with you this time, but Grandpa hopes that
you will be happy in the future."

After living with the Meyers, her grandfather would always ask Boris to give her a small birthday cake
on her birthday.

During her years abroad, her grandfather would call her on her birthday.

Now that her grandfather was gone, Zac finally gave her a gift in this way.

For some reason, the gap in her heart seemed to have been quietly filled.

The parting that had made her feel a little remorseful seemed to have reached a great deal of
perfection.

"Happy birthday, Anika"

Amidst the fireworks, she heard his voice.

Seeing the tears at the corner of her eyes, Zac took out a handkerchief and wiped it off.

"Well, I was prepared to confess, but now"



She stopped before she could finish her sentence.

He paused and whispered, "Do you like it?"

Anika smiled and put her head on his shoulder.

After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "The fireworks are very beautiful, but it is
incomparable to Grandpa's gift.Thank you"

Zac raised his eyebrows and said, "But I heard that this was romantic.Don't you like this more?"

Anika looked up at him and understood that he was really not good at these things, but he still clumsily
wanted to create something romantic for her.

She thought of what he had said yesterday, that he had been learning to be a good husband.She
heaved a sigh of relief and used some strength to hug him.

She shook her head and said sullenly, "If you insist, I prefer to be with you."

"Travel, romance."

"I might prefer to stay at home with you’

"Perhaps we should eat together at home, watch TV on the sofa, or stand by the side and watch you
change a light bulb."

However, these small things made her inexplicably feel that she had a home something that she waited
for a long time.

Under the curtain of night, her eyes shone with a resplendent glimmer and contained gentle emotions.

Her charming face was exceptionally moving.



Zac's throat moved slightly and his voice was deep, "Anika"

"Huh?"

"I'm going to kiss you”

"Then ...kiss me."
