Anne and Kevin walked side by side. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful and
elegant. Both of them made a great pair which instantly attracted many people's attention.
Kevin came over and held Anne's hand as she walked in front of him. When she realized what had
happened, she forgot that she rejected Kevin.
But he did not say anything. He looked into the distance as if he did not care.
Anne frowned and did not utter a word either. She just let him hold her hand, but this time it was not as
natural as before she noticed he was doing that.
Their warm hands touched, making her very nervous. Her palm kept sweating.
Fortunately, a cool sea breeze blew over, eliminating the heat from her body.
"The ground here is very low," said Anne, furrowing her brows.
Most areas were only one meter above the sea level. There was a perception of privacy and isolation
when she was on this island, but she feared that this kind of beauty would be devoured.
"Well, global warming causes the sea level to rise recently. In less than a century, this place will be
drowned in the water. All the beauty and civilization here will be hidden deep." Kevin looked at the
terrain and instantly estimated the situation of Maldives.
Anne felt a little regretful that such a lovely place would vanish.
"I'm heartbroken that such a magnificent natural scenery would disappear." She felt sad.
"Of course, but you can try to enjoy its beauty while it still exists," Kevin said with a smile.
She used to yearn for this place since it was the dream of most girls. Now, she liked this place spot
even more because she cherished it in her heart.
The two of them strolled together across the stunning beach. The sea from afar intersected with the
sky. It seemed like the sky was guarding the sea.
Anne looked back and saw colorful shells in different sizes on the shore.
"These shells are so beautiful."
Although most of the time, she was cold, steady, and apathetic, ever since she came to Maldives, her
feminine side seemed to return.
Kevin liked the change in Anne's behavior very much. Wearing casual clothes, he looked more like a
bright boy.
"Well, you can pick some up and keep them as a souvenir," he said.
Anne knitted her brows, "I don't like to keep them as a souvenir, because the best image of it is already
in my heart."
Knowing that she would give the exact answer, Kevin was not surprised, but said, "I heard that making
a bracelet or a wind-bell out of shells will be more pleasing to the children."
"Really?" Sure enough, when it came to the baby, Anne's attention would always be captivated. She
looked like a child that was eager to have a try.
"I'm not sure, but you'll know when you give it a try," replied Kevin.
Then, she wandered through the beach to find shells for her dear baby.
The sea wind blew gently, swinging her white dress. The corner of her garment fluttered as she smiled
faintly. Her slightly yellow hair danced in the wind. She was like a person in a picture scroll.
Kevin was mesmerized by the scene in front of him. He took his phone out and captured the most
beautiful look of Anne.
"Kevin, do you think this one looks good?" she asked.
"It looks good," he replied.
"What about this one?"
"Not bad."
"Why do you keep on saying each one I show you is good?" Anne was a little pissed. She accused
Kevin of not caring.
However, he smiled dotingly and said, "Because the ones you choose are all lovely."
Sadly, Anne rolled his eyes at him as a response. Although she knew his statement was nonsense, her
frozen heart seemed to warm up slowly as if by the high temperature there in Maldives.
The two of them strolled from morning to noon. The sun slowly became scorching. Even though she
held an umbrella in her hand, Anne still felt the sand under her feet burn.
"Let's go back."
She could not take the heat anymore. She backed under the open umbrella and felt much better
without the sunlight touching her skin.
"Wait a minute."
Kevin turned down Anne's suggestion. Instead, he looked around.
It made her puzzled. "What are you looking at?"
Kevin did not answer and ran directly to another umbrella. He could see that some people were having
barbecues under it.
He gestured with his hands and soon came over with a bag and tinfoil.
"Are you hungry?" asked Kevin.
At the same time, Anne's stomach began to growl. She had not eaten anything since last night, so she
was surely hungry.
"A little." Anne pretended not to care about it.
Then he took a deep look at her and unfolded the package. There were raw bacon, lettuce, and cream
in it, but the cream had liquefied due to the high temperature.
Seeing this, Anne could not calm down. Was Kevin going to cook on the beach? But they did not have
a fire or a grill. How was he going to do that?
Under the sun, he flattened the tinfoil and divided it into several parts, wrapping the bacon, lettuce, and
cream respectively. He fastened the tinfoil and put the food on the beach. Then he lay alongside with
Anne on a simple chair.
"Were you cooking just now?" asked Anne.
She had never thought that food could be cooked like that.
"Yes, when I was studying abroad, I went to a tropical country with my friends. That's how they cook."
Kevin smiled slightly, as if he had gotten used to seeing her surprised look.
"Then what other methods do you know about cooking?" All of a sudden, Anne felt that Kevin had a lot
of secrets that she could discover from time to time.
She was dismayed that she could not resist the feeling of being close to him.
"I don't know. My friends were the ones who cook, but I found it delicious. You can have a taste later."
The two kept talking, and time seemed to pass rapidly. Half an hour had passed with a twinkling of an
eye. Hence, Kevin went to get the tinfoil.
He held the food wrapped in the tinfoil carefully, which made Anne laugh.
It was difficult for her not to notice Kevin's clumsy look, but when he threw a tinfoil bag to her, she could
not smile anymore. It was really hot!
"Oh my God! How did you bring it here?" said Anne in a loud voice.
She flipped his hand subconsciously and saw that his hand was red.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Anne felt guilty.
"It's okay. These are just minor injuries. Have a try." There were five tinfoil bags in total, and after they
unwrapped it, the food was enough for three people to eat.
Kevin left three bags and distributed the other two to the people under the umbrella to thank them for
their help.
As she looked at his figure on the beach, the smile on her lips slowly extended. Despite the burning
heat of the sun, he still appeared to be fresh in Anne's eyes, as if the sun took care not to shine on him
too much.
When he handed the food out, he waved at her right away. The people who had tasted the food gave
Anne a thumbs up.
Five minutes later, Kevin came back and asked her to taste it.
There were cream and bacon on the lettuce. The freshness of the green leaves was mixed with the
thick bacon flavored cream, which was savory.
"It's delicious." Anne could not help but praise.
Kevin, on the other hand, had been watching her eat. He could not help but smile when he saw that
she was enjoying the food that he had prepared.
After both of them finished their meal, the temperature reached the highest on the beach in the day.
The people sitting opposite to them saw what Kevin did and began to follow suit to roast food on the
beach, which Anne found hilarious.
When they had everything at home, the meal he cooked tasted terrible. It was astonishing that he could
produce such appetizing food by himself when they had nothing at hand.
A period of thirty minutes later, the heat began to fade away, and the scorching wind became cool
again.
Anne did not feel uneasy as before and more people were coming to the beach.
At the same moment, she simply took off her shoes and stepped on the sand. There were occasionally
small gravel in the sand, but very few. It did not bother her even if it prickled her sole.
After a whole day's sunshine, Anne's skin turned red. As she stood by the sea and looked at the gentle
waves, she felt a cool sensation on her arm.
"What's this?" When she turned around, she found that Kevin was applying something on her.
The frigidness immediately eased the discomfort caused by the exposure to the sun.
"It's a treatment for the sunburn. Don't move, or else the recovery will slow down," he warned.
At this point, Kevin's soft handsome face was very close to hers. The sun at the distance slowly slid to
the sea, as if they had stepped on it. Everything around them was beautiful.
Some soft part in Anne's heart was touched. She suddenly smiled meekly and sweetly, which stunned
Kevin.
Now, the person he loved was by his side. He could not help but get close to her, just wanting to kiss
her gorgeous lips.
They could only see each other in their eyes. With the cool sea wind, the rosy clouds in the sky, and
the deep blue sea, the emotions hidden in their hearts stirred.
However, Kevin failed in his attempt to kiss her.
As there were more people approaching, it became noisy for a moment.
Kevin was interrupted by a shriek. Then, he saw a big stranded on the beach.
Two people pushed the fish into the water. While Anne was lost in thought when she saw them, he
frowned in displeasure.
"It turns out that the most beautiful thing in Maldives was not just the scenery." Anne stared at them.
In fact, she rarely had the chance to go out for fun. As soon as she got rid of the Ye Clan, she came to
the Fu Family. After that, she was busy fighting for the custody of the baby. Today was the happiest day
of her life.
Even though the man beside her couldn't give her a full sense of security, she was in a good mood now
that she was brought to a place she had never been to before.
