NovelEnglishChapter 291 Chapter 250 Lucia and Rupert sat nearby, with a clear view of Thalia's flushed face. They could also see the way Asher looked at her. Expectant yet tender. Lucia's chest tightened. She had never seen Asher look so gentle, his eyes overflowing with affection. "Thalia, look how eager he is. You're not going to leave him hanging, are you?" Sebastian teased. "I've never seen Asher like this before, haha!" Victoria joined in the encouragement: "Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!" Charlotte nudged Thalia gently with her elbow. "Thalia, Asher's asking for a kiss, Will you give him one?" Everyone present, except for Rupert and Lucia, was cheering ---- them on good-naturedly. Asher sat right beside Thalia. Amid the friendly goading from her friends, Thalia smiled shyly, her face flushed as she wrapped her arms around Asher's neck, closed her eyes, and summoned her courage to kiss him.

She never imagined that one day she would see Asher-usually so cold and detached-kissing another woman in front of so many people. And he had been the one to initiate it. Lucia stared at the floor with vacant eyes, feeling dizzy. It seemed as though the ship was swaying with the waves. But it wasn't.
The cruise ship was massive and stable, the sea calm-there was no reason to feel dizzy. Rupert also averted his gaze, refusing to watch the kissing couple. His expression was bland, his eyes dim as he quietly sipped his drink. Thalia had intended to give Asher just a quick peck and be done with it.
Her lips touched his, and just as she was about to pull away, Asher suddenly cupped the back of her head with both hands, transforming her passive gesture into an active embrace as he returned her kiss. The teasing from their friends grew louder. Thalia's face turned crimson. Asher kissed her deeply, their tongues intertwining in a passionate embrace. Thalia could barely keep up with his pace. At first, she felt embarrassed-they had never kissed in front of so many people before.
But Asher was so absorbed in the moment, and his technique was so good that Thalia was drawn in, gradually becoming ---- more engaged. Soon, she unconsciously tuned out the cheers around them, forgot they were playing a game, and surrendered herself completely to the kiss, reluctant to part from Asher. No one interrupted them. When the kiss finally ended, both were breathing heavily. Thalia's lips were red and swollen from the intensity, lusciously inviting. Victoria winked at Thalia, laughing.

"Coming here today was so worth it. Who knew we'd get to witness such a show?" Thalia laughed and shot her a playful glare. "Stop teasing mem Rupert said coldly, "Let's start the next round." Just then, Lucia's friend Summer Hanks pushed open the lounge door. "Lucia, there you are! I've been looking everywhere for you." Lucia forced a smile. "I've been playing games with everyone. Want to join?"
