The Empress knew that her daughter had missed Darryl dearly. She had wanted to use the Emperor's death as an excuse to force Yvette to sever ties with Darryl, but she knew it was impossible. After she saw her daughter's determination, it seemed like she would never stop her love for Darryl. As a mother, the Empress knew Yvette well. Once she had set her eyes on something, she would never change her mind. "Thank you, Mother!" Yvette was delighted that her mother had agreed to her request. She quickly stepped forward and took the Empress's hand; she did not want her to regret her decision. Darryl also sighed in relief after the issue was resolved. 'Finally, it's done.' Darryl thought that the Empress was too intimidating. Fortunately, Yvette was there to make things happen. Yvette turned her attention toward Stella and the four Scope brothers. She stared at Stella specifically. 'This woman is so beautiful, and she looks like she has a good temperament. Who is she?' Y
Yvette nodded, and then she smiled at Stella. "Sister Stella, thank you very much. Since you are from Ice Fire Island, then may we be your guests there?" Yvette was brilliant; she knew that Stella had fallen for Darryl. Yvette smiled at the kind-hearted Stella, who had saved herself and Darryl, as she had accepted Stella in her heart. At the same time, she suggested that they visit Ice Fire Island to improve the relationship between Darryl and Stella. After all, the new Emperor, Lord Kenny, would never let Yvette and the Empress off easily. He would definitely send soldiers after them, and more importantly, Darryl had been severely injured. He needed a safe place for recuperation. "Of course!" Stella did not hesitate; she immediately nodded joyfully. Darryl was supportive of the suggestion; he sighed in relief. Fortunately, Yvette was a considerate person. They had finally resolved the misunderstanding. The Empress was still upset, but she could not rebuke her daughter's
Stella blushed when she heard the Empress' suggestion. "Mother, I am also Darryl's woman. I also want to be in the same boat as him to take care of him." Yvette spoke anxiously to the Empress. "You told me that I have to be a virtuous wife when I'm married. Now when Darryl needs me, how can I not help him?" Yvette's face flushed when she said that shyly. Even though Yvette had a cheerful and bubbly personality, she was a lady, after all. How could a lady speak so blatantly about their relationship? Darryl had suffered severe injuries, and she was by his side. How could she let another woman take care of him? "Very well, then!" The Empress was speechless. Then, after a moment, she said, "Well, if you're taking care of Darryl, then who would take care of me?" As an Empress, she was used to having her palace maids. She enjoyed a high status where the maids would serve her, no matter her daily meals and other activities. She did not want to change her lifestyle despite th
Soon, they boarded the two boats as planned. Darryl, Yvette and Stella entered the cabin; it was not very spacious, but it was clean. The sea was calm; there were no big waves. The gentle breeze also made them feel comfortable. "Darryl!" As soon as Yvette helped Darryl to sit down, Stella approached him with a few elixir pills. "Even though these pills can't heal your injury completely, they can ease some pain." Stella turned around and began to boil water for tea after she gave the pills to Darryl. "Thank you!" Darryl took the pill, and he felt an immediate pain relief as it took effect. As he felt relaxed and happy, he began to like Stella! The Ice Fire Island's dignified eldest young miss had taken good care of him. It was commendable that she did not appear aloof. It was a rare character trait for those with high status! "Miss Stella!" Yvette stood up, smiled, and said, "You don't need to get busy. You have also been traveling, so you should rest!" Then, Yvette h
Stella was dumbfounded; she asked with a straight face, "Tell me, did you do anything to irritate the Empress? Is that why she chased you away because she was angry?" Stella knew her four senior brothers well. They were full of nonsense and would always mess up their tasks. Most people could not stand them, let alone the noble Empress. The four brothers closed their mouths abruptly and scratched their heads uneasily after Stella interrogated them. "Stop trying to piss me off! I told you to listen to the Empress!" Stella stomped her feet angrily. From their expressions, she knew that they must have done something wrong to incur the Empress' wrath. "It's okay!" Yvette smiled as she went to defuse the situation. "It must have been trying for the four heroes to take care of my mother. It must have been hard on them, so please don't scold them so harshly, Miss Stella." Even though the four brothers were nonsensical, they had fascinating personalities. More importantly, they wer
The Empress kept a straight face even when she saw Darryl and Yvette entered the cabin. She rebuked annoyingly, "Who told you to come in here? Don't you know you have to announce yourselves before you come in? Such waywardness." 'F*ck!' It looked like the Empress really did think of the place as her palace. How could they possibly get someone to announce their arrival before they went into the cabin on a fishing boat? Darryl felt depressed, but he did not say anything. "Mother!" Yvette felt helpless. She walked forward and held the Empress's arm. Then, she said playfully, "Don't pick on Darryl, okay? We're here to take refuge, not a vacation. Don't be so hard with the rules, alright?" Suddenly, Yvette's face turned red, and her voice went soft as she continued to plead with her mother. "Furthermore, he is my man and your son-in-law. Don't pick on him, okay?" Yvette's voice was very soft when she said the last sentence so that only the two of them could hear it. Even tho
"Darryl!" When the storm came, Stella yelled for Darryl from the other boat; a worried expression had spread across her delicate face. "Hide in the cabin. Hurry! Grab onto something, and don't come out! The storm is coming..." Stella had grown up on Ice Fire Island since she was a child, so she was accustomed to the storms. "Got it!" Darryl responded loudly. "Take care of yourself." As soon as he said that, the torrential rain got even heavier. A gust of wind carried the waves toward the boat. The roaring wind drowned Darryl's voice. The sky had gotten darker, and it was almost impossible for them to see anything with the rain.The boat spun and rolled frantically in that violent turbulence in the rough sea.'Is that the power of a sea storm?' Darryl grasped the bolt of the cabin door tightly as he looked at the environmental hazard outside. He felt emotional. Darryl's home was in Donghai City. He had grown up by the seaside, but that was his first time witnessing such a te
The Empress relaxed after she got to breathe. Then, she got irritated when she saw the boat had been shattered into pieces. She stared at Darryl fiercely and said, "This is all your fault! Would we be so miserable if you didn't have to go to Ice Fire Island? Do you know what you have done?" They had been separated from Stella and the four Scope brothers, and their boat was a wreck. How could they get to Ice Fire Island? The Empress was afraid that they might die in that vast sea. That woman still had not shed her identity and still acted arrogantly. 'F*ck!' Darryl felt helpless with that accusation. He said dryly, "Well, I can't stop the rain, can I?" How could she blame him for things that were beyond his control? "Mother!" Yvette was also dumbfounded at her mother's behavior. She said, "How can you blame that on Darryl? Besides, I was the one who proposed we go to Ice Fire Island." She winked at Darryl, a sign for him not to continue with the argument. "Now that
