"The thief was a seasoned pro. While you were busy taking photos on Capston Island, he smoothly swiped your wallet. Luckily. I happened to spot him in the act Lenora glanced at him. "Did you go to Capston Island too?"

For a fleeting moment, she even wondered if Elijah had taken her wallet. It wasn't about being paranoid; it just seemed like too much of a coincidence.

"Yeah, I went yesterday."

"I see. Well, thank you then."

They had just gone there today.

It might have just been a coincidence.

"You're welcome. When you meet a fellow countryman abroad, you help where you can." Elijah handed over her wallet.

Lenora took the wallet and looked up at Elijah. "If you hadn't arrived just in time, I would have already booked a flight to Olswick by now. How about I treat you to a meal tomorrow? If your friend doesn't mind. he can come along too." Elijah raised an eyebrow. "I'll ask my friend and let you know."

"Your friend seems rather strict, don't you think? He behaves less like your friend and more like your spouse, always worried you're going to flirt around," Lenora said half-jokingly.

Upon hearing this, Elijah recalled Zachary's gloomy face and let out a chuckle. "He's much more high maintenance than a girlfriend. You'll see when you meet him."

I'll personally explain A glint flashed briefly in Lenora's eyes. She offered a gentle smile and said, "I was just joking. You've done

me a huge favor, so I'm definitely treating you to a meal. If your friend die Just joking. You've done

things to him."

Elijah gave a nod, a playful smile spreading across his face. "All right, I'll head back first and get back to you later," "Okay."

Lenora closed the door and leaned her back against it. She stared at the wallet in her hand, lost deep in thought. Was it really just a coincidence?

Elijah headed straight to Zachary's room and plopped down on the couch. "I've returned her wallet."

Zachary, seated on the single-seater couch, responded with a hum

He rested his elbows on his knees, a cigarette pack and lighter held in his hands.

"Didn't you already see her yesterday? Why didn't you return it yourself?"

Elijah also took out a cigarette, lighting it up using Zachary's lighter.

He recalled that when they had just apprehended the thief. Zachary had stepped forward without a word. and thrown a few punches.

Elijah could even hear the thief's ribs cracking.

Zachary placed the lighter on the table, drawing a deep puff of his cigarette. He held the filter between his index and middle finger before moving it away. His lips parted slightly, releasing a cascade of smoke that twirled upward before finally disappearing into nothingness. He found his thoughts drifting back to Lenora's words that had pierced his heart. I have no intention of remarrying you.

He even felt that the chill of Nardor in December was warmer than the icy coldness of her words.

After a few seconds, Zachary asked, "What did she say?"

"She said she's treating me to a meal tomorrow."

Elijah knew what Zachary was about to say, so he beat him to it. "Since I did her a big favor, she insists on, treating me to a meal. If you don't agree, she'll come and talk to you personally."

The words Zachary was about to say caught on his lips as he took a brooding drag from his cigarette.

Elijah looked at Zachary with a playful expression. "So, what do you say? You must agree this time, right?"

Zachary's expression darkened as he tapped off some ash from his cigarette. "Tell her you're choosing the restaurant. She won't say no."

"Okay."

They had planned to go whale watching at sea the next day. Sophia had already booked a spot in a large whale-watching group. They were set to depart around eight in the morning, and the trip was expected to last between six to nine hours. Lenora decided to treat Elijah to dinner.

When Elijah mentioned he would choose the restaurant, that peculiar feeling stirred within her once again.

However, she didn't reject him, allowing Elijah to make a decision and then inform her.

At half past seven the next morning, Lenora, Sophia, and Fiona arrived at the designated dock.

At that moment, a considerable number of people were already waiting at the dock. It was evident they were part of a group set to embark on a whale-watching sea excursion. Among them were quite a few Aplothians. 15:15 Sat, Nov

The boarding process began at seven forty, and by the time they set sail at eight o'clock, there were over thirty people on their boat.

The hull of the boat sliced through the water, creating waves that fanned out to both sides as it gradually distanced itself from the dock.

Lenora stood on the deck, the sea breeze whipping around her, bringing with it a distinct, salty tang.

She glanced back as the dock faded into the distance, gradually

Urring until it vanished.

Turning her gaze around, she found herself surrounded by an endless expanse of water. On the far edge of the azure horizon, a continuous range of snow-capped mountains barely distinguished itself, nearly blending with the sky. There was still some distance to cover before they would reach the waters where the whales were known to appear. Unable to bear the cold, Lenora retreated to the lounge.

On the boat, there was a small lounge, already occupied by about a dozen people.

A dozen others remained outside, enjoying the breeze.

After an indeterminate amount of time, they neared the area where the whales were known to appear. The Tour guide came over to give a reminder, and only then did Lenora return to the deck.

At that moment, the dock had long since disappeared from sight. The boat was adrift alone on the boundless sea, surrounded by an endless expanse with no land in sight.

Lenora couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of the world and the insignificance of man.

Watching whales, much like witnessing the northern lights, was a matter of luck.

The tourists had their eyes wide open, meticulously scanning every inch of the sea's surface.

Yet, they'd almost crossed this entire area without catching sight of a single whale.

The boat had been sailing on the sea for a few hours, and before they knew it, it was already noon.

The whale-watching tour included lunch, and the meal was indeed plentiful. Unfortunately, the tourists. ate with little enthusiasm, a hint of regret lingering in their hearts.

Just then, the tour guide, megaphone in hand, said, "Look toward the southeast!"

As he spoke, the catamaran headed in that direction.

Lenora looked over and happened to see a massive creature leaping powerfully from the water. It traced a graceful arc in mid-air before diving back into the sea, causing waves to splash all around. "Wow!"

Everyone gasped in awe.

Lenora was so sturned that she forgot to take a picture with her phone. It wasn't until Sophia reminded her that she snapped back to reality.

Previously, she had only seen pictures of whales in books and was aware that they were the largest animals in the world.

But for her, that was merely a concept.

It wasn't until she saw the enormity of the whale with her own eyes that she realized the sense of awe it inspired was far beyond what any photograph could capture.

The tour guide exclaimed, "You guys are really lucky! There are even a few baby whales next to it. Did you see them?"

He also introduced them to the different types of whales.

The tourists didn't even have the time to respond. They were all frantically taking pictures.

The catamaran gradually approached the pod of whales

The pod of whales might have already grown accustomed to their presence, showing no signs of alarm. The last one, a baby whale lagging behind, was closest to them. When it breached, Lenora even felt droplets of water splashing onto her face. The catamaran stayed near the pod of whales for a while, and by the time it reached the shore, it was already five in the afternoon.

Lenora, Sophia, and Fiona disembarked one after the other.

Lenora said. "You guys go ahead. I've made plans with Elijah." 15:16 Sat, Nov 9
