A Film Queen

Chapter 415

The island experienced unpleasant weather today. Following a mildly misty morning, the sky became gloomy and threatening, resulting in an eerie feeling.

Milly wiped her nose and looked up at the dull sky, sensing that a strong downpour was on its way.

Even with the poor weather, they had plenty of seafood from their previous catch, sufficient to feed five people for a few days. There was also an ample supply of fresh water.

The only thing they lacked was firewood.

They had to find dry firewood before the rain started, so they would have enough for warmth and cooking during the upcoming wet days.

Milly bent down and pulled a saw out of the suitcase, one she had brought with her earlier. She looked at the sharp blade with satisfaction and nodded.

Though it had seemed heavy when she packed it, it was worth the effort now that it could be put to use. The hard work of carrying it all the way wasn’t in vain.

Watching her, George realised what she intended to do and got up to assist her, taking the saw from her hand. “Let’s go, I’ll come with you!”

Milly smiled at him, her expression showing a touch of youthful charm. “Alright.”

Hmm, having a boyfriend seems pretty good after all.

Later, we can go together to a secluded place to chop some trees, and then… well, you know. Hmm, it actually sounds quite exciting!

Alone together, under the moonless sky, with a chiselled eight-pack… wow, I’m so looking forward to it!

“Thud-“

“Aw! Why did you hit my head?” Milly rubbed her forehead, shooting a disgruntled look at the man next to her. She was just getting to the interesting part when he interrupted.

George gazed at her lovingly and murmured, “There are cameras everywhere, let’s keep this low-key.”

Low-key?
