Chapter 76
Trouble was often the beginning of estrangement, and she didn't want to cause trouble for others.
Zac calmly looked at her disappointed expression.
He extended his curled index finger and gently slid it past the tip of her nose.
He said warmly, "Nika, didn't I say that you don't need to seek perfection? In front of me, no matter if you're happy or angry, you
don't need to suppress your emotions."
She didn't want to cause any trouble, and she had always bounded herself with perfect rules.
He always hoped that she would be a little presumptuous.
The man's deep eyes were filled with seriousness as if he had seen the depths of her heart.
Anika was slightly stunned.
She pondered for a while and then smiled softly, "Perhaps I was afraid that ...there would be too many shortcomings that would
make the people who were close to me feel disgusted""
"In your eyes, do I have any flaws?"
Zac smiled and asked her.
Anika was stunned for a moment, but in the end, she was unable to go against her will.
She hesitated and replied, "Actually ...there are still some"
"Since I also have shortcomings, will you still dislike me?’ Anika shook her head gently.
She was accustomed to getting along with Zac naturally.
She had long accepted his so-called shortcomings.
Zac patted her head and raised his eyebrows, "So even if you lose your temper, I won't find it troublesome.What, can't I pamper
your little temper anymore?"
Zac was pleased to spoil her temper.
He was still talking in a casual tone, but for some reason, Anika's eyes suddenly turned sour.
After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Well, I seem to be very happy now."
He had said that he should be told if she was in a mood.
"Hmm? What are you happy about?"
After thinking for a while, Anika thought of words to describe her mood, "It feels like I've been waiting for a cake for a long time.I
only wanted to take a small bite, but you gave me a whole cake.Then, you told me, these are mine, you gave them to me.’
There was someone who wanted to give her all the beauty and value.
"Zac, you seem to be better than I thought.’ It gave her a sense of luck and satisfaction.
Suddenly receiving a compliment, Zac smiled casually and curled his lower lip in disdain.
He said in a clear voice, "Didn't I already say that you have a good eye for things?"
He picked up her slender fingertips, played with them with interest, and then patted her: "Well, get up, and let's go out of the
island later.’
Today, the two of them were going to a small island outside the main island.
There was a tarmac in the backyard of the hotel.
After eating something casually in the restaurant, the two boarded the helicopter waiting there and went to the island dozens of
miles away.
The island was a coral reef with a luxurious villa built on the high foundations of the beach.
In addition, there was a yacht docked at the beach in front of the villa.
The villa was leaning against the mountain, empty and quiet.
It looked like a private island.
Zac led Anika into the villa and asked her to wait in the living room for a while.
Then, he retrieved two sets of snorkeling equipment from somewhere.
Anika took it and casually asked, "Is there no one else here?"
"Oh, the island was previously photographed by Frederick.However, there are only empty houses here.It's not convenient to live
here, so it's better to stay on the main island"
Hearing the man’s tone, buying an island was as casual as buying a house.
Anika paused and said gently, "Do you know that your current tone is very similar to Versailles?"
"Versailles?"
"It's a potential show-off"
Zac raised his eyebrows and said, "This island is our property.Nika, you can also take it as my show-off using money to tie you
up."
Anika opened her mouth as if she suddenly understood that he had purposely not signed the prenuptial property agreement.
She smiled evasively.
His mood became good.
The two of them changed to their diving suits at the villa and stepped on the beach with their diving shoes.
The scorching sun shone on the soft and delicate beach sand.
It looked like it was covered with a thin layer of gold.
The seawater nearby wasn't too deep.
It was very clear and suitable for snorkeling.
Zac fixed her mask and asked, "Have you ever snorkeled before?"
Anika nodded.
She had snorkeled several times before.
The water here was not deep, so as long as she didn't dive deep, she should be able to handle it.
She believed she could so she postures generously.
However, Anika did not expect that her snorkeling trip would only last for less than half an hour before she had to return to the
shore.
After they returned to the villa in a hurry, Zac looked at her blushing cheeks and frowned, "There's no sunscreen here.Let's go
back first."
Even if the man didn't mock her, Anika was still a little embarrassed because of her sudden sunburn.
Snorkeling was comfortable, but it was not good to wear sunscreen near coral reefs.
She didn't know if she should blame the water quality on the island for being too clear.
In less than half an hour, her face had turned red, and she felt itchy.
Fortunately, the helicopter and the accompanying pilot had been waiting on the ramp on the island and did not leave.
Soon enough, they all returned to the hotel on the main island.
She hadn't been diving for too long, so her sunburn wasn't serious.
After returning to her room, the waiter in the hotel gave her the ointment.
Anika applied it to her sunburned skin, and the redness quickly faded.
However, she accidentally scratched her fair arm and created a wound.
It seemed that she couldn't go into the water for the next two days to prevent the wound from becoming infected.
"It's a pity.”
Anika looked at the red mark on her arm and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
They came to the seaside, but they couldn't go into the water.
Seeing that she seemed to be depressed, Zac smiled and asked calmly, "When I came back just now, the beach outside looked
quite lively.Do you want to go take a look?"
‘‘I wonder if the locals are too enthusiastic” Anika thought.
Today, there will be a local festival on the beach in front of the hotel, and the guests of the hotel have also been invited to attend.
When Anika and Zac returned just now, the waiter who was driving the sightseeing car stopped to greet the two of them.
He revealed his big white teeth with a smile.
The waiter extended an invitation to the two of them and was too enthusiastic to accept a refusal.
Anika thought for a moment.
Since she could no longer swim, it should be good to experience the local etiquette, so she nodded.
The two of them changed their clothes and went to the bustling beach.
The chairs on the beach in twos and threes were filled with people, including foreign tourists and locals who had come to
participate in the festival.
They found a seat and sat down.
People were standing in front of them dancing on stones.
The crowd cheered one after another.
The waiter stepped forward and handed them two bowls of wine in coconut shells, which he kindly recommended as a local
specialty.
Half of the coconut shell was filled with gray wine.
Anika took a sip.
The taste was very faint, but the tip of her tongue became numb.
It looked like mud, but it tasted spicy.
It contained a pungent smell.
She tightly pursed her lips and frowned.
She turned to look at Zac.
The other party drank until his face did not change color, not leaving a single drop.
Seeing this, Anika couldn't help but ask, "Did you like it?"
"I didn't like it"
Zac looked at her and whispered, "Don't tell me you want me to change my expression in front of so many people?"
Although he didn't like it, he still wanted to show the locals that he loved it.
His pride led him to suffer while drinking the wine.
Anika smiled and handed him the bowl of wine in her hand.
She really couldn't accept the taste, but it wasn't good if she didn't drink it.
She was too kind to disappoint the locals.
The man glanced at her and helplessly took it, gulping it down a few times.
After a pause, Zac said, "Oh, I'll go to the bathroom first"
After saying that, Zac stood up and walked away.
Anika noticed that Zac seemed to be in a hurry.
