Jimmy leaned back in the shadows, the corner of his mouth tugging into a soft smile,

As he listened to Madeline joke around and watched the sunlight cast a warm

rm glow on her, a deeper, more melancholic look crept into lus eyes.

He said, "I hope you can take on more acting roles, Maddie. That way, even when I'm overseas, I'll be able to see you me you'll become a top star, okay?"

Madeline met his gaze and nodded solemnly. "I will"

As they were chatting, Gavin came over.

Gavin had spent all last night hanging out with Madeline, and after flying in this morning his hair felt greasy. The first thing he did when he got to the hotel was wash it, and it was still damp.

Running a hand through his hair, he said. "Alright, where are we going to cat?"

Then he grumbled, "I grabbed something quick on the plane, but it wasn't great. Reheated meals, you know? I'm actually kind of hungry now. With the weather outside. I bet my hair would dry just from walking around. I really don't like winter; it's freezing"

"Most places overseas are generally warm, so why not just stay abroad?" Jimmy's comment slipped out before he remembered that Gavin had stayed on an isolated island overseas before. He delicked his tongue and said. "You just got back, and you already can't handle it?"

"Who says I can't handle it? I'm just too sensitive to the cold. But having four seasons has its own charm, retorted Gavin,

Jimmy, accustomed to his rambling, said, "Let's go. We'll grab a bite at a restaurant nearby. The food at the hotel isn't that great.

He had driven this time. He drove them to the restaurant, and after eating, the three of them wandered around the beach for a while. Madeline was practically entranced by all the long-legged, curvaceous beauties around. This was the kind of scene she enjoyed Jimmy, with his good looks, was also quite popular. As they walked, a few men and women tried to chat him up.

Seeing someone giving Jimmy a flirty glance, Cavin was confused and asked, "What did the man say!"

"He was speaking Rylian. He said Jimmy's leg hair is sexy, Madeline explained, being thoughtful. She was fluent in many languages, even the less common ones. "He also expressed his desire for some interaction with Jimmy...

Before she could finish, Jimmy grabbed the back of her neck, and she couldn't help but exclaim in pain.

Jimmy said, "You only translate the dirty stuff, huh! Just pretend you didn't hear that, I'm not into men.

Madeline struggled a bit. "Okay, okay, I won't say anything else?"

Gavin glanced mischievously at Jimmy's long legs, replaceing them indeed pleasing to the eye with their well-toned muscles and long, thick hair.

Rubbing his chin, he said. "It is kind of sexy. No wonder guys are into you. Turns out this is their type...

"No, it's the bottoms that like him. Madeline corrected him. "It's hard to replace good tops, after all.

Jimmy was about to get mad again.

Madeline quickly hid behind Gavin and said, "Gavvy.

Gran wrapped his arm around her protectively and said, "He's just a sore loser. Then he turned to Jimmy and said, "Jimmy, this is no big deal. Tve heard there are a lot of gay people around here, and it's pretty common. You're on vacation-don't get all uptight." Chapter 31

"It's not you who's grossed out," Jimmy muttered irritably.

After all, he remained quite traditional at heart.

Most of his work took place in less developed areas where people had a rather prudish attitude towards such matters, so anything like this, not even in the parts of Dravena Isles where he'd spent time.

And now these two had the nerve to poke fun at him-it was too much.

Madeline wrinkled her nose. "Jimmy, I was just joking. Maybe you should just wear more clothes

Jimmy snorted, glancing at his watch. Then he frowned and said, "Tve got to go help a friend with something. Have fun on your own tonight. There's a buffet on the third floor of the hotel. I probably won't make it back in time." "You're kidding, right?" Gavin was exasperated. "We're on vacation together. Who does actual work on vacation

Jimmy laughed. "It's a special situation. I'll take you shopping tomorrow. It's on me.

With that, he waved and left.

Gavin clicked his tongue, shook his head, and kicked at the sand. "He is unbelievable....

It was still early, so after hanging out for a bit, Madeline and Gavin headed back to the hotel to watch a movie.

Since they were abroad and not too familiar with the area, and both were tired from the day, they didn't feel like doing much else.

Moreover, since Madeline's health had only recovered to a moderate level, it was unsuitable for her to be out for too long and become exhausted.

Madeline's room had a projector. They set out some snacks and turned off the lights. The large projector screen became the only light in the room

The opening scene showed an underwater world

Madeline paused for a moment, replaceing the scene familiar, and asked, "Is this "Titanic"

Gavin nodded, comfortably leaning against the soft cushions and hugging a pillow. "It's my favorite movie. Have you seen it before?"

Madeline shook her head. "I haven't. I've only heard about it."

Gavin kept his eyes on the screen. T've seen it many times-basically, I watch it every year. I replace it incredibly romantic, especially..." He paused. 'I suppose it's due to my deep-seated romantic sensibility." In his mind, Gavin liked to think of himself as a hopeless romantic

Madeline smiled and took a sip of her drink.

The movie was long-sweet in the beginning and heartbreakingly tragic by the end. Being near the sea with the salty breeze drifting in through the open window made it the perfect setting for the film.

As the movie went on, Madeline's sinile faded. Her expression grew heavier until tears filled her eyes.

In the Enal scene.

It was as if she had taken a journey and returned to her own world.

Madeline had consumed a pile of tissues. Her eyes were red, and her voice sounded nasal. "Cavin, you really know how to make me cry!"

Gavin leaned closer. "I didn't mean to make you cry. I just wanted to tell you that, if we were ever in a situation like that. I'd go out of my way to ensure your survival. You're everything to me. Meeting you was heaven's blessing to ine," Madeline turned her rod, tear-filled eyes to him.
