NovelEnglishChapter 523 Unknown Signs I pulled her in. "Didn't you say you wouldn't come? How’d you end up on the ship?" "I didn't plan to, but the boss was so persistent that I couldn't refuse.” She shrugged and said, "Are you ready? Let's grab something to eat! I was starving, but I didn't want to disturb you. How was experiencing the brilliance of the sea?" Her expression was mischievous. I playfully punched her.
"Quit being so lewd. Look at yourself.
You're becoming quite the character!" My face involuntarily flushed.
We headed down to the restaurant on the third floor. While waiting for our
food, Ivanna asked what Trinity wanted to discuss with me last night.
She had been worried about it.
I gave her a brief, unbiased rundown. I didn't want her to worry too much.

I exchanged a glance with Ivanna and pretended not to notice.
However, I couldn't avoid seeing them.
~The two of them also spotted us and walked over.
"Good morning, Ms. Chloe!" Liora greeted, and she seemed to be ina good mood.
I gave a faint smile, "Good
morning." Then I ate the food in front of me, making small talk with Ivanna. Ivanna told me about the large swimming pool on the top deck and suggested we stroll there later.
I nodded. "Alright, let's check it out after we finish here." I knew full well, from Liora's expression, that she had successfully got what she had schemed to get.
"Ms. Chloe, you seem in high spirits now," she said unconvincingly.
"How so?" I glanced at her. Stella, seated across from her, had changed into a different outfit, and there was a smile on her delicate face.
“Being as prominent as Ms, Chloe —or rather, Mrs.Chloe—would turn heads.

Wouldn't that be considered being in high spirits?" Liora smiled as she delicately sliced her steak.
"Idon't feel that way!" I replied curtly.
"Ms. Chloe, let me offer a word of advice. Don't get too complacent. Don't reach for what shouldn't be yours. Just like what happened with Harmony." She smiled and spread her hands. "You should always leave yourself a way out.
When you have time, reassess your position and see what suits you better! Also, don't take steps that are too big.

Liora, for the reminder. Excuse us!" I stood up with Ivanna and took a moment to look back at Liora. "But don't worry, I have nothing to stumble over!" Then I left the restaurant with Ivanna, both of us laughing. Ivanna cursed, "You've ruined my meal." "Then let's just order lunch. We'll go back to the room and eat," I said. I arranged for room service, then headed upstairs with Ivanna.
When we reached the narrow doorway leading out of the restaurant, a man happened to be entering. When we
brushed past each other, I involuntarily shivered.
I glanced over, but the man had already entered the restaurant.
Ivanna noticed my hesitation and asked, "What's wrong?" I turned back and shook my head.
"Nothing." Then I grabbed her and said, "Let's go up through the corridor on the deck." We went up to the top deck and stood there for a while. Even though the ship was in near-shore waters, I still felt a distinct sensation—vast and deep, the boundless and azure sea.
Suddenly, I felt a strange unease in my heart, much like the wide-open,
