Chapter 194: Moment of Bliss*
They were headed west of Meta City, and Rain could tell where they were heading, seeing the view of the iconic volcano Mount Rion from the window of their car. She smiled because she had never been to this part, but she had heard about how relaxing Malibu was. It was a mountainous town known for its hot springs resorts.
It was a two-hour drive, and Rain gasped as Alexander took her to a hidden gem nestled high in the mountains, with a great view of the serene, secluded beauty of Malibu.
The lush greenery, with towering trees whispering in the mountain breeze and the occasional sparkle of sunlight filtering through, was relaxing enough.
"This is beautiful," Rain murmured, gently squeezing Alexander’s hand.
"I booked a private suite for us tonight," he said with a soft smile. "Though, we can extend our stay if you’d like."
Rain’s cheeks flushed at the thought; it felt almost like they were already on their honeymoon. A mix of excitement and nervousness bubbled up in her, making her heart race in a way she hadn’t expected. But then, only Alexander could make her feel like this!
Their private suite opened to an expansive terrace with sweeping views of the mist-laden valley below, where rolling hills met the sky. This view felt boundless, almost surreal, like the mountains were part of a painting.
The suite had large, sliding glass doors that led to an open-air hot spring pool surrounded by smooth stones and bamboo fencing, offering them privacy without obstructing the breathtaking view.
The mineral-rich spring water steamed softly in the cool air, inviting Rain in with warmth and promising relaxation.
