Chapter 886 When Will She Taste Freedom?
To Bianca, that young girl was innocent, carefree, and perhaps a little too naive.
She could not bear to see Nina being embarrassed, so she blocked Daphne's hand and asked her,"Are you really Percy's younger sister?” "Of course. Don't you think that I look like Percy?" The girlsmiled brilliantly like the starry sky.
She looked like an angel.
Bianca carefully studied Percy and Daphne's faces. Other than the face, there was no similarity at all.
Percy's eyes were thin, almond-shaped, and had an exotic charm to them. On the other hand,Daphne's eyes were round like a cat's eyes and had a glint of mischief in them.
Most importantly, what differentiated Daphne from her elder brother was her warm, sweet, and innocentdemeanor, unlike Percy, who seemed like the devil.
No one would have realized that the cold and ruthless man would be related to the adorable young girl.
"Welcome back to the Zephyr, Ms. Daphne."
Several servants stood neatly in a row and greeted Daphne.
Daphne was used to such scenes. She nodded at them and went back to pester her elder brother. "Letme tell you about the countries I've visited, Percy..."
Percy began to patiently coax Daphne. It was the first time that Nina had seen the man's gentle side.
"Did you come back yourself, or did Pierre bring you back?" "Pierre brought me, of course. He's busyflirting with women now, and he doesn't care about me anyway. Why don't you talk to him about it,
Percy..."
Nina shuddered involuntarily when she overheard their conversation.
'Pierre is here too! What should I do if I meet him?'
Nina had been distracted ever since she knew that Pierre was also on board the Zephyr.
When Percy brought her to his private quarters, she found the courage to ask him, "Why did you bringme along?" "Don't forget your status. As my partner, you should know what to do. I don't have to teachyou." "You've already told me, and we've already signed a contract. Our time together ended a fewdays ago..." "But I'm addicted to you, Nina. You're as endearing as a rose. Can't I have you for a littlelonger?" 'Addicted?
'To me?'
Nina's eyes opened wide in surprise and stared at Percy uneasily.
Before she could ask him what he meant, he lifted her in his arms and placed her on the handrail.
"What... what do you want?"
Nina was afraid of water. She would feel dizzy whenever she looked at the sea.
A flock of seagulls glided through the air around her. Appearing sporadically among the clouds.novelbin
The silver waves crashed onto the ship, and the droplets that scattered through the air sparkled likediamonds.
Nina was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty. She did not know how to swim, and all she could dowas hold on to Percy's shirt tightly, in case she fell overboard and became the sharks' next meal.
"Don't be afraid. Try to enjoy the beauty of the world with your heart. You don't have anything to worryabout with me next to you."
A smile appeared on Percy's face. He pulled her face away from his chest and forced her to look at thehorizon.
Nina's fear subsided a little when she saw his encouraging gaze and the seemingly mocking smile onhis face. She grunted reluctantly, gradually loosened her grip, and began to look around her.
The ship had sailed out of the port and into the open sea.
The ship's bow sliced the sea into two and formed waves as it moved forward.
The horn sounded proudly, as though nothing in the world could stop the ship.
As the ship sped across the waves, the entire world seemed to spin around one's feet.
"Aaaaaaaaa! Aaaaaaaaa!"
Nina cupped her hands around her mouth and began to yell at the sea, pouring her suppressedemotions into her voice.
That was the first time she had released her emotions. It was a cathartic experience.
Percy's arms were around her waist. He seemed indifferent to Nina's changing expressions as sheyelled.
The man's profound gaze fell on her delicate face. No one knew what he was thinking.
About ten minutes later, Nina's voice was almost hoarse. She leaned backward and fell on his chest.
Once, she had dreamed of being able to spend a day at sea with the man she loved.
However, the man beside her now was not one that she loved.
They were neither lovers nor friends, even though they had made out in bed with each other. That wasa purely financial transaction that fulfilled each other's needs.
"When will our contract end?" The couple seemed intimate as their skin touched, but Nina's words wereas cold as ice.
Percy glanced at her. His heart continued to thump rhythmically.
Suddenly, he pinched her lower jaw hard as though threatening to crush it." Why, do you want it to endso that you can look for another rich man?"
Nina's heart sank, and she closed her eyes in agony. The comfortable sea breeze had becomecountless sharp knives that dug deep into her heart.
"I don't get it, Mr. Mallory. You should have been able to get any woman you want with the amount ofwealth and influence you have. There are so many beautiful women in the world, and I'm the mostunremarkable one. I don't know what makes me so special to you. We've been together so long, andyou should have been bored with me. Aren't you going to get yourself someone fresh?" She roared.
She had always understood that they were from different worlds.
To him, her status was as low as dust. A plain woman like her would not have been able to captivate aman of his status, and he would not be satisfied by one woman.
Nina was tired of her current life.
As she grew in age, she began to desire a normal life like Bianca or Sue. They already had asignificant other and children. Whenever she hugged those children, she did not want to let go. Shewould also like to be a mother and enjoy marital bliss...
However, she was nothing more than a pet in a cage to Percy!
She was almost losing her mind. When would the man give her the freedom she deserved?
