Chapter 88: Touring the Isle
"I can’t believe Maddie chose to stay at the villa. Is she a lazy tabby or something?"
Lariette’s words earned chuckles from Ruediger. Her words were audible above the hum of the engine of the motorboat. Tearing his eyes from the azure sea, he glanced at her.
Lariette wore a casual outfit today; long khaki pants, a round-collared T-shirt and a light jacket. Her chocolate brown hair was tied into a ponytail, slid through the hole at the back of a pink cap.
Arching one of his brows, Ruediger replied with a smirk, "Seems like she won’t trade her bed for today’s adventure."
Lariette nodded, quickly agreeing with Ruediger, "Today is her lazy day, I guess."
Ruediger simply smiled before he focused back on manning the motorboat. He and Lariette were heading to the tiny island, named Lilybrook Isle which she mentioned yesterday.
The clock had just struck eight-fifteen, the day had barely begun.
The sun was high enough to shower the area under its bright light, leaving shimmers on the ocean blue sea. The light filtered through the sunroof and the front window of the boat.
None of them cared to know about the current state of affairs surrounding the ruined wedding from yesterday.
Truthfully, Lariette was oblivious to the true intention of why Madeline suddenly decided to sit out of going to the isle.
Intending to give her cousin some alone time with her friend, the lady sacrificed the fun. She didn’t tell anyone until when her friend came to wake her up this morning.
