Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 276 Blind Date

The full moon hung in the sky like a shiny silver coin, and stars were scattered all around.

The cruise ship by the shore was lit up and had a romantic vibe going on.

Richard stepped out of the cabin, climbed the stairs, and made his way to the deck for some fresh air.

"Hey babe, slow down, come this way, watch your step."

Taking the last step, Richard followed the voice and saw Frank helping Nora to a comfy sofa.

Frank said, "Here, babe, sit down. You must be tired. Let me give you a shoulder rub." Frank helped Nora sit down and then stood behind her, massaging her shoulders. "Babe, is the pressure okay? Should I go a bit harder?"

Nora closed her eyes, enjoying it. "Not bad, babe, your technique is getting better." The two of them seemed super close.

Word was, Nora was pregnant. The day Frank found out, he told everyone, wanting to share his joy.

Nora's belly wasn't showing much yet, but Frank was already spoiling her, not letting her do anything. He even suggested she quit her job to rest at home.

Nora was tempted, thinking Frank was financially stable and treated her so well that her salary wasn't really needed. But Emily had advised her that no matter how capable a man was, a woman should never lose her ability to earn money. It was Emily's advice that ultimately made her decide not to quit.

Richard stood for a while, then turned to look in another direction.

At the bow, Ethan and Emily were leaning against the railing, whispering sweet nothings.

The couple also seemed very close.

Richard found a spot farther away to sit down. When he looked up again, the two leaning against each other had changed positions. Now, Emily was leaning against the railing, Ethan had one arm around her waist and the other holding her head, and they were passionately kissing.

"Babe, am I doing great?"

Frank's voice came from nearby, seeking praise.

Nora didn't hold back her compliments. "You're amazing."

"Come here, a reward."

Frank lowered his head, and Nora turned to give him a loud kiss on the lips.

Richard lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and looked helpless.

Richard said, "I just wanted to get some fresh air, but you all are torturing me. Can't you two couples stop bullying me? Jason was smart; he knew he'd be tortured by you guys, so he didn't come."

Ethan paused his kiss, his fingers playing with Emily's silky hair, his loving gaze never leaving her face, but his words were directed at Richard. "You only have yourself to blame for not having a girlfriend. You have to get used to being tortured."

Ethan and Emily gazed at each other tenderly. To Emily, Ethan's eyes were more dazzling than the stars in the night sky.

When emotions ran deep, no more words were needed. Emily hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

Richard sighed, feeling he had really come to the wrong place today.

"At least you have me to keep you company," a lonely voice suddenly came from above.
