Jenna’s voice was loud enough for Colby to overhear. Sophie’s face flushed rad. She nced at Colby


    beside her and asked, “He… prepared a dinner for me?”


    “Yes, yes, at the Regent Hotell Everything’s set up already. We’re just missing thedy of the evening.


    Adler and I are here to pick you up. Where are you?”


    Sophie covered the phone, whispering, “You arranged something at the Regent Hotel for me?”


    Colby shook his head.


    Sophie immediately knew this was a surprise Jenna and Adler had prepared on Colby’s behalf. Then…


    is Colby there?”


    Jenna stuttered, “Of… of course he’s at the Regent Hotel waiting for you!”


    Sophie couldn’t help but say, “Then, if Colby is supposed to be with you, who’s this person with me


    now?”


    “What? Colby’s with you?”


    Jenna jumped, and so did Adler, “What! You two are together?”


    Both Adler and Jenna seemed ready to leap out of their car as Sophie heard the sound of an abrupt


    stop on the other end.


    Adfer, grinding his teeth with frustration, eximed, “Why didn’t you tell us sooner? Do you know I


    spent a fortune to book the entire Regent Hotel for this? You bettere back here!”


    “Yeah, celebrating without us, that’s not cool!”


    Though Jennained, her heart was already blooming with joy. She had thought her brother was


    unromantic, only to be pleasantly surprised in the end.


    “We should be at the harbor…


    Before Sophie could finish, Colby took the phone, saying indifferently, “We’re noting back tonight.


    Have fun.”


    After that, Colby hung up.


    Jenna and Adler were left in shock. Adler finally managed to ask, “What does he mean by that?”


    “He said they’re noting back tonight”


    “What are they doing at the harbor?”


    “Could it be…”


    Jenna opened her mouth and then quickly covered it with her hand. Realization hit them like a tornado.


    Were they gonna spend the night together?


    “I disagree! This is moving too fast! Drive to the harbor now I want to see this unfold!”


    “Fine, let’s go see. But what’s this about moving too fast??


    Adler, clearly in on Jenna’s curiosity, was even mo eager for some gossip. So, he started the car not


    caring about the fortune spent, and headed straight for the harbor.


    Sophie looked at the phone Colby had handed back to her trying not tough. “Why did you hang up on


    them?”


    They were too noisy”

    Colby took Sophie’s hand, leading her upstairs.


    Outside, the moon was bright, and stars scattered across the sky. The winter sea breeze felt cold,


    turning the ocean a deep shade of ck. The view from the cruise ship’s open–air terrace was indeed


    spectacr.


    Wrapped in a nket, Sophie sat on the terrace. All the lights were on, with every entertainment device


    avable. Colby handed her a cup of warmed milk. “Are you Cold?”


    “I’m okay.”


    In a deep voice, Colby said, “I wanted to bring you here in the summer. It’s indeed a bitte now”


    “Summer? Did you buy this cruise ship?”


    “Yes”


    Sophie was taken aback, having thought Colby had only rented a cruise ship, but he had gone ahead


    and bought the entire vessel.


    It’s not toote now.”
