They stayed in the town of Tekapo for a week. They could see the blue sky every morning and the starry sky every night.

And there was the crystalline Lake Tekapo beside them.

The townspeople were enthusiastic and hospitable. They would greet them every day.

After a week, Stella had learnt some simple greetings.

The place was indeed a Shangri-la.

It seemed to insulate them from the external disturbances when staying in this place.

On the day of departure, Stella was reluctant to leave there. She leaned against the window of the car and looked outside.

The townspeople waved goodbye to them from a distance.

Clarence said, “If you like this place so much, we can come here once a year.”

Stella drew her attention back and looked at him, “Really?”

Clarence smiled and pulled her into his arms, “What do I lie to you for?”

Stella said, “Next time, we bring Noah here.”

“Ok.”

The car drove out of the town and headed for Christchurch.

They had reached the hotel at night.

They planned to stay for a night and departed to Semporna the next morning by their private jet.

At midnight, when Stella was in a mist of sleep, she felt that Clarence woke up and picked up a call.

After a while, she was woken up.

Clarence gazed at her and said softly, “Baby, we might have to skip the trip to Semporna.”

Stella was confused, “Huh?”

Clarence said, “We should go to London now.”
