Adam was seething with hatred. When Adam saw Jaxson past away the pocket watch in his hand and stand up to leave, he asked, Jaxson, where are you going?"

"Tim going back to work," Jaxson said lazily.

Adam asked, "Aren't you going to wait for Aeolian to wake up before leaving?"

Jaxson replied. "Her fever has subsided. It's only a matter of time before she wakes up. I can't heal hier immediately by staying here, can 1 Jaxson waved at Adam without looking back and walked out of the ward elegantly. Adam frowned. Jaxson was still the same as before. Adam could get a read on him.

Jaxson appeared to care for Aeolian.

However, when dam thought about it carefully, he felt that Jaxson cared for Acolian, but not much.

Adam looked at Acolian who was sleeping on the hospital bed. His heart was heavy. He felt like he was the only one Aeolian had left.

After Maeve was discharged from the hospital, Byron arranged for her to go to a resort to recuperate. Meanwhile, he proceeded to disappear for several days as he was busy with something.

Maeve had a premonition that Byron was hiding something from her, but since he did not say anything, she did not pry and treated this period of time as a vacation.

The two children would come to see her every day after school, so she didn't feel too lonely.

The only annoying thing was that she received more messages from Molly requesting a meet up. Molly deliberately tried to bait her with the messages.

Maeve simply blocked Molly from her contacts.

She put her phone aside and went out with her fishing tools, planning to go fishing in the lake by the resort.

Her wrists were healed. In order to return to her peak condition she needed to move around more.

However, she was late today. All the boats had already been taken

Maeve stood on the shore and was reluctant to return empty-handed.

Gale was sitting in a boat that was decorated with paintings. When he opened the curtains, he saw Maeve standing on the shore with a distressed and depressed expression.

Maeve didn't put on any makeup since she wasn't going to work. Her face was bare, and she was wearing a white shirt with a suspenders skirt. She wore a straw hat that blocked the sun and rried a cream-colored backpack on her shoulder. She looked young, beautiful, and full of vitality.

Just looking at her swept away the stifling heat of summer,

Gale got someone to drive the boat back to shore and stopped in front of Maeve.

Gale asked, "Didn't manage to get a boat?"

Maeve placed her hand on her forehead to shield her eyes frome glaring sunlight before she could see Gale's dignified and cold face. He was dressed very casually. Strangely, he still has three bodyguards beside him even when he came out to fish. Maeve found him ostentatious.

Maeve shrugged and replied, "The boats are all rented out. I plan to wait and see if anyone returns,"

The greatest joy of coming to the lake was fishing on a boat. There was no fun just fishing from the shore.

"I don't think anyone will be returning at this time. If you don't mind, you can corric aboard my boat," Gale suggested casually, even though liis expression was still indifferent.

Maeve thought for a moment. She did not want to wait any longer, so she agreed.

The painted boat slowly sailed toward the center of the lake and stopped at a certain spot

Maeve sat on a small stool, holding a fishing rod in her hand as she leisurely waited for the fish to take her bait

Gale sat beside her. As he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was much taller than her. Behind him, a bodyguard held an umbrella while another carried drinks and some fruits.

There was also a strong fam on the boat keeping them cool in the heal

They were living better than the emperors of old.

Maeve wiped the sweat off her face and thought to herself, Damn you, rich folks!

Seeing her wiping her sweat, Gale signaled the bodyguard behind him. He instructed, "Milo, go hofd an umbrella over Ms.

Reese

"Yes" The bodyguard in sunglasses approached Maeve and held an umbrella over her head.

I'm sorry to trouble you," Maeve said politely. She didn't reject the offer. "Thank you, Mr. Soar. I'm really lucky to have bumped into you today."

Gale replied, "Not at all."

As he said this, their first fish took Maeve's bait.

Maeve skillfully reeled in the fish and placed it into a bucket next to them.

Gale glanced at it. He commented, "This carp is very big. You're quite lucky."

"Not at all. It's just that the fish in this lake are stupid and easily take the bait, Maeve said humbly.

The fishing rod in Gale's hand did not move. Bored, he casually asked, "Have you specially learned fishing? I see that you even prepared many types of bait. You look very professional." Maeve explained, "When I was in college, I worked part-time on vacation at a fishing farm. I learned some tips from the people there."

Gale said, "A fishing farm? I used to work at a fishing farm when I was younger."

Maeve secured her bait and looked at Gale in surprise. She exclaimed, "No way!"

He didn't look at all like someone who'd worked a blue-collar job before.

Gale smiled faintly. He asked, "I don't look like I have, do 1

Maeve nodded honestly. She commented, "You live in Mapledes. You look like you come from a rich family that doesn't need to fish on your own."

Her description amused Gale, who was rarely curious. He asked. Then why did you work part-time at a fishing farm" As far as I know, there are many easy jobs suitable for girls,"

"Of course, it's because of the high salary: Maeve stared at the lay on the water and declared, "I have a feeling that another fish is about to take my bait."

Stup

"So soon?" Gale sat up straight and looked at her.

Sure enough, the buoy moved.

Maeve was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while to make sure that the greedy fish could not escape, she reeled in the line calmly.

This time, she caught a white silver carp the length of a man's forearm that weighed more than 12 pounds.

Maeve was so happy that she forgot who was beside her.

She mumbled happily, "We can have grilled fish tonight. Coincidentally, I had nothing better to do yesterday, so I made a marinade and some berry wine. The two will definitely go wonderfully together." Gale, who was beside her, heard her and felt that she was really cute.

He couldn't say exactly what was cute about her, but she made him feel very comfortable.

However, his good mood only lasted for a few minutes.novelbin

Gale stared at his motionless buoy and frowned deeply.

He wondered, 'What went wrong?"

After sitting here for an hour, Maeve had caught a total of six fish and Gale beside her was still left hanging.

She had even kindly helped him change his bait and taught him some techniques, but it was to no avail.

The fish seemed to naturally reject his bait, refusing to bite.

Maeve was a little suspicious about this. She asked, "Gale, have you really worked in a fishing farm before? How can you.."

-

She finished her sentence mentally, be such an amateur.

Gale guessed the rest of her sentence and fell silent

For the first time, Cale, who had experienced decades of tough military life and could scare off border criminals with his name alone, was considered to be an amateur.

No one had ever considered him an amateur before.

"Gale, I have been wanting to tell you this the last time I fished with you at night." Maeve said earnestly, "It's really rare to see fish despise someone so badly. When did you offend the Fish God?"
