Chapter 856 Be Responsible To The End

Chapter 856 Be responsible to the end

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll cook something nice tonight."

Anthony grabbed Jaqueline's wrist almost subconsciously, and looked at her with deep eyes, which

made Jaqueline feel a little uncomfortable and her cheeks flushed slightly.

She broke free from his hand, glanced shyly, lifted the hem of her skirt, turned and ran away.

Looking at her back, the corners of Anthony's mouth curled up slightly, and he chased after her.

Under the cover of saving his life, all of Jaqueline's approach became reasonable.

At dinner time.

Jaqueline prepared many dishes.

Because it was a fishing village, the table was full of fish made in different ways.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Anthony suddenly remembered that Jaqueline had said that she and

her grandma depended on each other, but he had never seen her grandma here for a few days, so he

couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Your... grandma doesn't live here?"

Hearing this, Jaqueline paused what she was doing, and then said, "The fishermen around me often

get sick. If grandma doesn't cure them, they won't come back. Do you want to see my grandma?"

Jaqueline smiled sweetly, and by serving Anthony with food, she brushed her hair against his cheek

intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's been so long since I haven't seen her. Just ask."

Jaqueline didn't answer it, and changed the topic, "When you try the food, what kind of girl do you think

I am?"

Anthony smiled and said, "Innocent, like an angel in a fairy tale ."

Being praised, Jaqueline pursed her lips in joy.

"That sounds nice, but you have been here for so long, won't your family worry? What do you do?"

Facing Jaqueline's unintentional temptation, Anthony calmly responded.

"Didn't you take my mobile phone for repair? If I leave now, where will you find me?"

Jaqueline was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect Anthony to find out that she had secretly

taken his mobile phone away.

However, Jaqueline quickly returned to her usual look, and argued, "I just saw that your mobile phone

was broken, so I kindly sent it to be repaired. It will take some time to repair it. You won't blame me, will

you?"

Anthony took a piece of fish for her, "What am I blaming you for?"

Jaqueline lowered her head reproachfully, and said in a muffled voice, "Blame me for taking your cell

phone without authorization."

Anthony's eyes were deep, and he shook his head, "Why should I blame you? You are also kind."

They finished dinner talking and laughing.

Time passed and Anthony and Jaqueline spent some time together in the fishing village.

Today, at the beach, they were wearing the same fishing village outfits.

The two were playing just like a young couple in love.

He splashed water on her and she ran after him.

After playing to the point of exhaustion, the two of them lay directly on the beach, gasping for breath,

having a good time.

Anthony looked at the panting girl beside him, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.

The girl's hair was wet, glued to her face, letting him have a kind of indescribable impulse.

He suddenly asked, "Have you ever considered falling in love with someone?"

Jaqueline pursed her lips and thought deeply, "In love? I envy Lucy in our village. She and her

boyfriend are very affectionate, but I haven't considered it yet."

Seeing that she was looking forward to falling in love, Anthony jumped up, blocked the sun in front of

her, looked at her seriously, and said, "That... I want to be your partner?"

"What?"

The sea breeze blew slowly, brushing their cheeks lightly, and the waves beat against the shore.

After getting along, Anthony found that Jaqueline was similar to Lyra in many places, and he liked this

feeling very much.

He had selfishness and wanted to protect the obsession of the past ten years.

After a long time before Jaqueline came to her senses, her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and a

blush gradually appeared on her face.

"I... I've never thought about being in love... I'm sorry."

Jaqueline calmed down, with a painful expression on her face, "People like me are unfortunate. I can't

bring you misfortune. I'm really sorry. Your phone has been repaired. I'll go get it back for you."

After speaking, Jaqueline ran away in a panic, leaving only her back.

Thinking of her panicked expression, Anthony gave a bitter smile and followed her home.

Back home, Jaqueline handed him the phone with a blushing face, and said, "Take a look. There seem

to be many people calling you."

Anthony unlocked the phone, and saw Mavis' countless phone records, as well as countless

messages.

[Where are you? Are you OK? I am worried about you.]

[You have been missing for a week. Can you receive my message?]

[Anthony...]

[…]

Mavis sent many, many messages, each of which expressed her extreme concern.

Anthony frowned slightly, gripped the phone tightly with his fingertips, and his deep blue pupils

gradually revealed a complex color.

Jaqueline saw the change in Anthony's face, and said, "Your family members should be very worried

about you. They must be waiting impatiently. You can go back..."

Anthony thought for a while, turned off the screen of his phone, and stopped reading the text messages

sent by Mavis.

He turned his head to look at Jaqueline, and said earnestly and sincerely, "Life in the fishing village is

hard, and you should also see the outside world. Why not come with me? I will take good care of you."

Jaqueline was a little tempted, with a tangled look on her face.

In the end, she shook her head and refused, "I can't go with you. I have to take care of my grandma. In

the future... there should be no chance to meet you again."

"I am very happy to know you these days. Thank you for the happiness you bring me."

As Jaqueline spoke, her eyes turned red, "You said you were older than me and wanted to hear me call

you brother, then... Anthony, nice to meet you. "

Anthony...

Anthony dazed again.

He looked at Jaqueline's Lyra - like face, and the enchanting eyes shimmered.

…

Jaqueline turned around and was about to leave. Anthony grabbed her wrist and said cautiously,

"Come with me. Let me take care of you in the future, your grandma. I will find a way."

"I will be responsible to you to the end."

Responsible to the end?

Jaqueline was taken aback, feeling the warmth of his palm clutching her wrist.

It seemed to bring unprecedented warmth and peace of mind, but... she couldn't yet.

"Anthony, you... you should contact your family first. You have been missing for so long. If you suddenly © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

bring a stranger back, your family can't accept me..."

She lowered her head, broke away from his hand, and left the room as if fleeing, "I'm going out to do

some work first."
