“Okay!” Winnie replied as she held his face and gave him a kiss on the lips. “Show me around this secret hideout of yours!”

Xavier let out a chuckle. “There’s nothing much to see, really. It’s just a very peaceful spot.”

“Nonsense! This beach is the best place to view the sunrise! Xavier spent a lot of money buying this! All of Fairchild Corporation thought he was going to develop it into a resort or something, but he actually purchased it for his own personal use! He literally spent hundreds of millions just so he could sit here and enjoy the sea breeze! Can you imagine that?” Josiah said.

Xavier rolled his eyes at him in response. “Why are you worried about how I spend my money? I just want a quiet place where I can relax.”

“Yeah, I know. It really is a nice place, so I suppose it was worth the money. Honestly, I do support your decision. Can you imagine what would happen to this beach if the Fraser family got their hands on it? I bet they’d ruin it by building a beach resort here or something! We need to give Mother Nature a break every now and then.”

Xavier frowned. “Yeah, sure, go ahead and steal all the good lines from me.”

Winnie let out a giggle. “Now, now… Are we here to argue or relax and unwind?”

She then got out of the car, stretched her body, and took in the fresh air as she continued, “It’s been so long since I’ve been to a beach. Come on, let’s go!”

Xavier walked up to her and held her hand. “We’ll find a less windy spot to sit down. Here, hold the bag. I’ll switch the flashlight on.”

“Who needs flashlights when I’ve got these?” Josiah called out to them from behind.

Winnie turned around and saw him holding two lamps which looked like glass bottles with countless fireflies in them.

The lamps exuded a comforting glow that added some warmth to the cold windy night.
