Chapter 679
Chapter 679
The beautiful island was embedded in the blue sea and was especially eye-catching. When one looked up, cotton-like clouds surrounded one after another, covering the entire sky.
White and azure were colors that made one feel comfortable.
The boundless sea was filled with mystery. People couldn't help but want to explore the sea. This kind of project where danger and excitement coexisted was the feeling that explorers sought.
Seagulls spread their wings and soared on the surface of the sea. The sea breeze messed up the hair of the group of people who were busy on the island. There were more than one group of people who came to watch the sunrise. Not far away, there was also a group of people setting up tents and setting up barbecue racks.
There were both men and women. Stella, who was busy, looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance and could not help but praise herself. "How is it? Is the place | found okay?"
Olivia especially liked this place. She had the illusion of being hugged by nature. It was refreshing and the air smelled of the sea breeze. "I like it. I'm already looking forward to sleeping in the tent at night and looking forward to the sunrise tomorrow morning.”
Liam was helping to set up the tent. He bent down and fixed it. He lowered his head and teased, "Just don't oversleep." "| won't." She rarely slept late, unless she was very tired.
Olivia set off from the hotel to this beautiful island. She would always look at her brother from time to time. Even if she was busy, she would subconsciously look at her brother.
Today, Jasper had returned to normal. He no longer felt depressed and frustrated from last night, but there was no smile on his face. He still looked like he was keeping strangers away.
Seeing that her brother had returned to his normal state, the worry in Olivia's heart dissipated a little.
He always had a cold face. Which woman would be able to stand her brother's facial paralysis in the future? It was freezing. Olivia cursed in her heart. She could not help but worry about her brother's marriage.
From the moment they set off to the island, Ruby and Jasper did not say a word. The two of them lowered their heads and went about their own business.
It was only when Ruby actively moved the barbecue rack that the shelf in her hand was taken away by a pair of slender hands. Her hands were empty, as if her heart was empty too.
Ruby looked up at him and saw that his expression was normal. He bent down and continued to do his work. He had no intention of saying anything. It was a little infuriating to watch his back.
There was a factor called rebellious spirit that instantly filled up Ruby cells in her entire body. Her stubbornness came online. She had to do it even if he didn't want her to do it. She turned around and went to get charcoal. There were several boxes of charcoal. It wasn't heavy to move one box after another, but she had to move them all at once.
The people who were setting up tents in the distance did not notice the situation here. They were still listening to Stella brag about how good this place was. Olivia and Liam pricked up their ears to listen.
Ruby was much better today. She had already recovered after a nap. In addition, the room service staff had sent a cup of warm water with honey over early in the morning. She didn't know if it was made in the kitchen or by him.
Sure enough, when he saw her bending down and struggling to carry several boxes at once, he quickly threw down the barbecue rack and strode over. He took the charcoal from her hands. He guessed that she would not be so obedient and noticed her actions from the corner of his eye.
After the thing in her hand was snatched away, Ruby continued to be busy. She looked around to see if there was anything heavy that she could take. Before she could find it, the voice of a certain man who had not spoken sounded above her head. He said in a low voice, "Stop looking."
Seeing that he had opened his mouth, Ruby looked up at him smugly. She called out the first word especially loudly, attracting the attention of the people in the distance. "Brother, have you spoken?"
Brother? She said it on purpose.
Jasper lowered his eyes and could see the smugness in her eyes. It was obvious that she was provoking him, and she was cute. He finally smiled and could not help but want to rub her head. The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds, but he held back. "Sit down. Have you forgotten that your stomach hurt last night?"
The two of them stood side by side. A few seconds later, Jasper bent down to put the things on the side of the grill and got up to continue working. Ruby was helping. From the back, he was working seriously. Liam glanced over and felt that there was nothing wrong. He only felt that his father was thinking too much and diagnosed Hackett as hypochondria again.
After the barbeque rack was set up, Jasper opened the small table again. Ruby did not sit down. Instead, she placed the ingredients bit by bit. She suddenly said, "Brother, is your stubborn temper like your dad or your mom?"
His chest felt like a ball of cotton. "Aren't you stubborn?” He asked, which was rare.
Ruby generously admitted that under her gentleness, she had a stubborn heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have... "I've never said that I'm not stubborn, but my stubbornness comes depending on times."
Jasper smiled. There was really nothing he could do. "For example, just now? Or "brother" you're saying?”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. There was no need to say anything. It was as if they understood each other. Ruby said happily, "Both. Brother, what do you think?"
Jasper didn't answer her. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to her, but he was thinking about the future and struggling. She said that he was stubborn, but wasn't she the same?
The gloominess dissipated. Ruby did not care if he answered the questions or not. If he could talk to her endlessly about every question, he would not be the Jasper she knew.
The two of them smiled and continued to work. It was not tiring for men and women to work together, and they were even enjoying it. There was an unknown atmosphere in the air that surrounded the two of them, as if it was sweet.
A few hours later.
The curtain on the surface of the sea was pulled open, and the constantly twinkling stars came out as guests. The island welcomed a different scenery, and the sea breeze blew wantonly.
The colorful lights that were competing with the stars in the sky were constantly playing their role, decorating the island with colors, trying to present a different painting.
Olivia shrunk her neck and stood beside her brother. Seeing that the barbecue in her brother's hand was almost done, she took it away and blew on it before stuffing it into her mouth. She suggested, "Jasper, you didn't add any ingredients. It's bland.”
Jasper saw that his sister was wearing thin clothes and looked in the direction of Ruby, who was sitting in the distance. He reminded her, "Leave it there for now. Go inside and put on some clothes. Let Ruby wear one too."
"Oh, | think it's a little cold. Help me put some chili. I'll help Ruby get her clothes."
There were a total of two tents, one for the girls, one for the boys. The girls were a little bigger, and there were several energy- saving lamps hanging in the tents.
After a while, Olivia came out in a black suit. He was holding a Ruby's jacket and a long black cardigan. Ruby liked long sweater cardigans.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Ruby, it's a little windy. Put on your clothes first before skewering. Forget it. I'll do it." Ruby took a tissue and wiped her hands. She took the clothes from Olivia and stood up to put it on.
Olivia moved Ruby's stool out, which meant that she did not want Ruby to work anymore. "I'll do it. Ruby, just watch. If you're bored, go get something to eat or watch us work."
Stella felt that it was quite fun to come out with this group of children. If she came alone to watch the sunrise this time, she would not have bought so many things. How could there be barbecue? She would have just compressed biscuits or bread cereal. “Ruby, take a rest. Let Olivia and Liam do it. You sit here. There's a tent to block the wind.”
Olivia skewered the shiitake mushrooms and completely forgot about the barbecue that she had just taken a bite of. She said, "Yes, Stella makes sense. Ruby looks like she's gentle and not suitable for heavy work. If anyone marries you in the future, they definitely won't be willing to let you do heavy work. I'm different.”
Stella was skewering vegetables with a smile on her lips. "Olivia, you're also very gentle, but you're a little livelier. If you want to say that you're not gentle, you can count me one. Ruby, your mother is one too."
Everyone laughed. Ruby actually wanted to say that her mother had her moments of gentleness.
