Chapter 305
The night darkened, and the rain poured heavier.
The majestic waves were pounding against the ship.
Olivia was sitting in the warm cabin, feeling the ship rocking back and forth.
She didn’t like that feeling because it made her uneasy.
She needed to admit that Colin was a meticulous man.
Someone had decorated her room at his request beforehand. The interior was almost the same as her previous room.
Snowball was sleeping in its cat bed.
Olivia lit a scented candle with a calming effect and played soothing music.
There were tortilla chips, fries, dried fruits, and a bottle of orange juice placed on the table. They were bought from Yearwoods ‘Restaurant.
She didn’t have an appetite, so she read a book. But she lost her focus after barely reading two lines of the story.
Like a cat on hot bricks, she walked back and forth in the room.
At that moment, the ship stopped, increasing her uneasiness.
She set the book down, wanting to head outside to ask what was going on.
Olivia bumped into Colin at the door. He smiled faintly. “Olivia.”
“Colin, what’s going on?”
“It’s nothing, Olivia. You’re just too nervous.”
Noticing that she was overwhelmed by distress, he comforted her, “If you can’t stop thinking about it, go take a bath.
“I prepared some soothing essential oil. You should give it a try. Don’t worry about it. The maritime police are here for inspection.
“They’re usually here to check if there are any prohibited goods or drugs. We’re good to go after we give them cooperation.”
He caressed her head softly. “We’re already out at sea. Ethan can never find you.”
He was so gentle that he seemed like a reliable elder brother rather than someone younger than her.
Only then did Olivia recall the fact that he was younger than her by a year. He was more mature than his age.
“Colin, you’re just a student. Why aren’t you afraid?” Her hunch was telling her that he had been through many hardships, hence his calm demeanor,
He said honestly, “I was sent abroad when I was young. Of course, I’ve suffered a lot. Plus, I knew my circumstances very well. “I couldn’t depend on anyone. Since being in a foreign land was more dangerous than being in the country, I befriended all sorts of people. That was why I was able to hire mercenaries.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.” Olivia looked at him seriously.
