"How could we possibly do that? Let's do it together, Lenora said.

She slipped off her sandals and plopped down onto the sandy beach. After dusting off her hands, she began threading slices of meat and seafood onto skewers.

The tour guide prepared items such as slices of bread, lettuce, pork cutlets, and grilled sausage. The seafood was purchased fresh from a nearby town, and most of the barbecue-friendly options were fish. shrimp, and scallops. The pork cutlets had been sliced into small pieces, requiring one to thread them onto skewers themselves. The same went for the seafood.

Taking matters into their own hands and providing for themselves, it was an unforgettable experience to prepare a barbecue on the beach. As the sea breeze blew, they shared laughter and stories with unfamiliar travelers During their conversation, the young man mentioned that his name was Maxton Hertz, and his companion was called Calvin Zabinski.

If they were to skewer all the pork cutlets and seafood before cooking them, there simply wouldn't be enough time. Thus, Maxton suggested, "Ladies, this seems a bit slow. How about we grill while skewering?

"All right."

"In that case, you guys should skewer while I grill. Skewer more of what you like, and I'll grill it for you," Maxton said with a smile, revealing a set of perfectly white, neat teeth.

Sophia was well aware of this, and she had a fondness for crayfish. In front of her was a plate full of crayfish. Hearing that, she handed the entire plate to Maxton and said, "Maxton, I love crayfish. Remember to grill some more for me." "All right! Ms. Wilkin, what do you fancy eating?" Maxton asked, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Lenora.

"I'm not picky with food, so anything will do," Lenora said.

"In that case, I'll grill a bit of everything"

The food was laid on the barbecue grill, and before long, it started to sizzle and crackle. This was accompanied by waves of sharp, smoky scent.

Asi

the food was gradually getting cooked, Maxton fetched a clean plate and placed it in front of Lenora and Sophia. He said, "Ladies, I'll place the cooked skewers on this plate. Feel free to take any if you want." "Thank you!"

Maxton said with a smile, "No worries yourselves.

It's our honor to be of service to two beautiful ladies like

Sophia and Lenora exchanged glances and set down the skewers they held in their hands. They then started by enjoying a skewer of pork cutlet.

The crayfish was taking its time to cook. Sophia had already glanced over several times.

Lenora first enjoyed a skewer of grilled sausage, then continued with skewering pieces of pork cutler, cating as she went along.

She noticed Maxton was continuously grilling, beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead. She said, "Maxton, don't just focus on grilling the skewers, have some yourself. There's no need to rush."

A glimmer of surprise flickered in Maxton's eyes. "Oh! Thank you for your concern, Ms. Wilkin. I understand."

He put even more effort into grilling the skewers.

"All right. Let's just skewer these for now. I think it's enough for us to eat. Once we've finished grilling these, we can skewer more if needed." Sophia quickly wiped her hands, eager to reward herself with a skewer of crayfish. Lenora paused, grabbing a string of toasted bread slices. She paired it with a cumin-sprinkled pork cutlet, relishing the meal as she admired the sea view.

Not far off, the sea was churning, with someone surfing the waves.

After a while, Maxton noticed that Lenora and Sophia were barely touching the food on their plates. He took the initiative and said, "Ladies, would you like some coffee? I can go to the nearby town to buy some

Lenora glanced at the small town not too far away, and she declined with a smile, saying. "There's no need that. Don't we have drinks on the bus?"

"Let me get you ladies some drinks." Maxton swiftly ran back to the bus, returning with several bottles of beverages. "Ms. Wilkin, which one would you like?"

Thanks. I'll just take this." Lenora casually picked up a bottle.

"I'll have a Sprite," Sophia uttered, pulling a bottle of Sprite from Maxton's arms. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Maxton, you must be quite popular at school. You're really diligent." Maxton scratched his head in embarrassment.

Two hours later, the tour guide began urging them to pack up their belongings, ready to set off on their departure.

Back on the bus, Sophia leaned toward Lenora, whispering, "You don't like Connor, so how about Maxton?"

Lenora gave Sophia a look. "What on earth are you always thinking about?"

"It's not that. I just think Maxton is interested in you, Nora. Look, after your divorce, your luck in love has. been absolutely thriving!"

Lenora rubbed her forehead. "No matter who it is, I currently have no plans in that regard."

"All right." Sophia sighed. "Such a waste."

"Do you feel it's a waste? Why don't you give it a shot?"

"I actually want to go for him, but he isn't interested in me."

"What if you've made a mistake?"

That's impossible. He appeared to treat us all equally, but whenever he spoke, his gaze was always fixed on you."

Lenora was rendered speechless.

"By the way, have you been in touch with Connor recently?"

"Not much."

Connor would often seek her out for a chat, yet her responses were minimal. If it wasn't for the fact that Connor was also a Jacasterian and there was a chance they might meet again in the future, she might have outright removed Connor from her contacts. "Look! There's a helicopter in the sky!" a tourist suddenly exclaimed, pointing upward in awe.

After that, all the tourists turned their gaze out the window. As expected, they saw a helicopter hovering in the not-too-distant sky.

The tour guide shifted his gaze back, saying. "There's no need for envy. Once we reach Purdina Road in Pollerton, you'll also have the option to take a helicopter tour of Twelve Grand Rocks."

Twelve Grand Rocks was a signature landmark of Oceanic Road and even the entire state of Valkyrion. The site offered helicopter tours, which were a major highlight of Oceanic Road.

Before the sun set, they arrived at Angevin Bay.

That night, they were to set up camp there.

The tour guide distributed tents to them and instructed them on how to set them up.

Sophia and Lenora were setting up a tent together when Maxton offered to lend a hand. However, Lenora declined his offer, saying, "No worries. You go set up yours. We can manage on our own." Maxton stood there, offering an awkward smile. He could sense Lenora's distant demeanor.

After the tents were set up, the tour guide allowed them to move around freely.

Lenora and Sophia took a stroll through the nearby woods and went to visit Cape Olmville Lighthouse.

Atop a hill by the azure sea, nestled in a lush, verdant meadow, a white lighthouse stood tall and proud. A neat, tidy path flanked by white railings led to the lighthouse. The path looked like a pathway to paradise. Lenora and Sophia ascended to the top of the lighthouse, their gaze sweeping across the vast, endless expanse of the sea. The breathtaking view of Valkyrion's seascape was entirely within their sight. They lingered there for a moment, welcoming the beautiful sunset.

As the fiery sun descended, it cast a golden brilliance over the sea, imparting a layer of golden hue to the seagulls soaring across the sky.

The sight and emotions evoked in that moment were beyond words. It was challenging to describe nature's beauty through mere text. The only way to capture the splendor of that instant was through the lens of a camera. Lenora was

in the midst of taking photos when she suddenly heard a snapping sound.

She turned her head and saw Maxton retract his phone. Taking a few steps to reach her, he showed her the photo he had taken on his phone. "Ms. Wilkin, you're truly beautiful. I simply took a photo of you, and you look fantastic in it." Upon glancing at the photo, Lenora said, "Delete it."

Maxton froze for a moment. "Ms. Wilkin, how about we connect on WhatsApp? I can send you the picture."

"There's no need for that. Thank you.

Lenora didn't want to expend time and energy dealing with others at the moment.

Maxton glanced at Lenora's retreating figure, a hint of irritation flashing in his eyes. If I can't get Lenora's contact information, it'll be extremely difficult to reconnect after the trip ends unless I manage to win her over within these two days. In that ca

the only option is to take drastic measures. The schedule for tomorrow is either on the tour bus or with the group sightseeing. There's simply no opportunity. That means I must make the move tonight. Tonight, the tour guide is set to organize a bonfire on the beach. I saw a bar of beer in the corner at the front of the bus. The effects of alcohol can lead to unpredictable behavior. It's a fact that no one can truly articulate. Zachary cheated on her. so it's likely that Lenora hasn't experienced intimacy for a long time. I must work hard to satisfy Lenora..
