Chapter 187: Half Dead
Iris attempted to maintain a calm but angry expression, though internally, she nearly burst into laughter at his peculiar behavior. How could he have emptied the Silver River solely for their date in this area?
’Goodness! Xavier Darkwood, why are you so overbearing?’ Iris couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly while gazing at the cruise boat still anchored in the middle of the river.
She could still see passengers on the boat, with its lights still shining.
’Is the boat’s engine broken?’ Iris pondered. After a few seconds, a thin line formed on her forehead as a thought crossed her mind.
Iris turned her gaze back to Xavier, narrowing her eyes as she observed him staring at a distant building across the river.
"Xavier, don’t tell me... You were also the one who stopped the boat over there?" she asked, pointing toward the two cruise boats.
Xavier followed her gesture. "How did you know?" he asked in surprise as he turned to look at her. "Iris, can you see clearer and hear farther? That’s amazing, my love..."
Iris was utterly speechless.
She was torn between happiness and sadness about his actions. On the one hand, she was touched because he did this for her. But on the other hand, she did not appreciate causing trouble for others.
