Chapter 138
Following a satisfying meal, Samantha and the group swiftly organized a three–tiered yacht for a journey into the deep sea, gearing up for a diving adventure.
The weather that day was superb, and the waves were relatively calm..
Nevertheless, due to the yacht journey lasting more than two hours, Xyla, who was pregnant, experienced seasickness. around an hour into the ride.
She vomited repeatedly while hunching over the railing. Samantha patted her back, saying. “Xyla, why don’t we turn the yacht around and return now? Your well–being is the priority at this moment.”
Xyla quickly shook her head. “That’s not necessary. We’re already halfway there, and I don’t want to inconvenience everyone or make this trip go to waste. I’ll be fine. Once we reach our destimation and the yacht docks, I’ll rest in the room upstairs while you all go diving
Just then, Xavion approached them. “Here, Xyla, have some hot water.”
Nyla glanced weakly at Xavion. “Thank you.”
Samantha then assisted Xyla in returning to the room for some rest.
The yacht soon arrived at the diving area.
While everyone else was busy changing into their diving suits, Xavion remained still.
Seeing how he acted, Xeno asked, “Xavion, why aren’t you changing into your diving suit? Are you skipping the dive?”
“You guys go ahead. I’d like to stay on the deck for a while, replied Xavion.
Xeno glanced at him and muttered, “Why is he acting so weird recently?”
Soon, Francis and Samantha dived into the seabed together.
As experienced divers, they didn’t require guidance from a coach
The duo instinctively dived to the seabed and were surrounded by a school of fish.
The underwater world was simply stunning, filled with vibrant corals, various exotic shells, and a myriad of colorful fish
Suddenly, Francis grabbed Samantha’s hand, and they swam together ahead.
Francis then pointed to a shell on one of the rocks.
Samantha understood his intention and reached out to open the shell, revealing a breathtaking diamond necklace inside. Samantha turned to look at Francis in pleasant surprise, noticing a subtle hint of amusement in his eyes.
Samantha knew he had arranged it in advance to surprise her.
Samantha grabbed the necklace and eagerly swam toward the surface of the sea.
Back on the yacht, Xavion went straight to the third floor of the yacht after seeing that everyone had gone underwater. There, Xyla was fast asleep in one of the rooms.
Xavion found it peculiar that she kept her hand protectively over her belly while asleep but couldn’t quite put his finger on

what was going on.
After tucking Xyla in, he sat silently at the edge of the bed and gazed at her.
In the past. Xavion only regarded Xyla as one of his best buddies and hadn’t paid much attention to her appearance.
As he observed Xyla with newfound attentiveness, he realized what a doll–like delicate beauty she was… and how intricately captivated he was
Her profile was exceptionally attractive as she had beautiful red lips, a high nose, exquisite eyes, and eyebrows.
Xavion even noticed how two delicate dimples appeared on her face whenever she smiled, which added a touch of adorableness to her appearance.
He thought, I’m sure she can pull off both sexy and cute looks. Im sure it will be a lot of fun… if we ever get to cosplay together.”
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Startled by the bizarre thought that crossed his mind, Xavion had a sudden fit of violent coughs, which immediately roused the slumbering Xyla.
Xyla frowned as she opened her eyes and was momentarily puzzled when she saw Xavion.
“You’re awake?” he asked.
Why are you here?” she asked.
The two of them spoke simultaneously.
Xavion sheepishly scratched his head. “I was afraid to leave you alone when you aren’t feeling well, so I came to check on
you.”
Xyla sat up, pursed her lips, and said, “So you didn’t go diving?”
Tve had my fair share of dives in the past. It doesn’t matter if I don’t join them this time, replied Xavion.
Upon hearing that, Xyla furrowed her brows and said, “Considering how busy you are with work, opportunities for vacations like this won’t come by often in the future.”
“Hey, it’s alright. I can always take a break since I’m the boss,” said Xavion, waving his hand.
“That’s true. You’ve got a point, agreed Xyla.
“By the way, are you hungry? Let me bring you some food, said Xavion, going off before Xyla could answer.
Xyla, on the other hand, smiled sweetly at his actions.
Soon, Xavion came up the stairs with some food. “Since you vomited earlier, the chef mentioned you should have warm and nourishing food. I brought you some oatmeal and bread. Have this for now, and I’ll treat you to a big meal when we return in the evening
“Okay, agreed Xyla.
After removing the lid of the oatmeal bowl, Xavion was handing the food to Xyla when a wave suddenly crashed against the yacht, causing it to sway heavily.
Quick on his feet and afraid it would spill on Xyla, Xavion threw the oatmeal to the ground.

However, he was so focused pn the matter that he had forgotten something else.
As a result, he ended up directly on top of Xyla.
Right at that moment, the fair–weather waves hit the yacht again, and Xavion’s lips directly landed on Xyla’s lips.
The beautiful red lips he carefully observed just now.. were now between his lips.
Xavion sensed a surge of blood rushing to his head in some inexplicable way.
Overcome by impulsion, he cradled Xyla’s head and began kissing her.
The room was filled with ambiguity as the kiss ended.
I
Gazing at Xyla, whose eyes were now equally hazy, Xavion couldn’t help but caress her face and asked, “Xyla, will you be my girlfriend?”
Xyla’s lips were red and her face flushed.
However, she wore a serious look as she looked at him and asked, “Are you willing to marry me right now?”
“Marry you!” Xavion frowned subconsciously and spoke like a typical man. “I haven’t given marriage any thought yet.”
Hearing that, Xyla immediately pushed him away and yelled angrily, “Get out!”
Xavion was caught by surprise. “Xyla
“I told
you to get out Xyla refused to listen to him and yelled in frustration and aggressivenes
Xavion furrowed his brows as he had no idea what had gotten over Xyla. In the end, he decided to leave for the time being. Xavion ended up sitting alone on the deck for quite some time but was still unable to figure out what Xyla wanted. From his perspective, getting married without having dated beforehand was rather unusual.
Besides, he wasn’t very enthusiastic about marriage, and if given the choice, he would prefer to remain unmarried.
Xavion held the belief that marriage was akin to a cage. In his personal experience, marriage tended to erode the love within relationships as they yielded to the stresses of daily life.
Therefore, he was afraid of marriage.
However, he was aware that he genuinely desired to be with Xyla
“Is there a contradiction between being in a relationship and getting married? Why does Xyla insist on me marrying her right away?” wondered Xavion.
He couldn’t fathom what was going on with Xyla.
After a while, Samantha and Francis suddenly emerged from the sea.
Upon seeing Samantha, Xavion was overjoyed as if he had just spotted his savior.
He rushed over when she got on the deck and asked, “Samantha, will you ever marry F
Francis?”
Samantha gave him a dirty look. “Shouldn’t you be asking Francis about this instead of me?”
“Yeah, you’re right. Xavion scratched his head and continued, “byen you think this question seems more suited for men. What’s a girl trying to convey if she proposes marriage to me?”
