He quickly glanced at Charlotte, knowing that if he continued to evade, he would probably end up sleeping on the floor tonight.
Joe made up his mind and decided to pick up one of the shrimp and eat it. Before choosing the shrimp, Joe thought that seafood, even if eaten raw, should be the safest option. But when he really ate the shrimp, it was the first time that he knew what regret was. It was fishy, bitter, and astringent. All the flavors that chefs usually tried to eliminate were fully embodied in that shrimp. “How does it taste?” Charlotte eagerly asked Joe. Joe clenched his fists tightly but managed to force a smile on his face. “It tastes great.” “Really?” Charlotte was skeptical. She reached out to take one to try, but Joe
quickly grabbed her wrist. Charlotte looked at him and instantly understood. “Is it really bad?” Joe neither confirmed nor denied, but he solemnly said to Charlotte, “You better not eat it.” Charlotte knew that her cooking skills weren’t great either. Seeing Joe’s response, she didn’t insist anymore. She felt sorry and wanted to apologize to Ben and Anna, but when she lowered her head, she realized that the two kids had already disappeared, with no intention of tasting the food she had made. Charlotte was speechless. Having confirmed her lack of talent, she decided to stop torturing herself and
handed over the cooking area to the professional chef. Soon, the chefs brought out plates of visually appealing and aromatic barbecue, making one’s appetite soar just by looking at them. As for the plate of barbecue cooked by Charlotte, it had long been abandoned in a corner by someone. Even Charlotte herself couldn’t be bothered to spare it a glance. The sky gradually darkened, and the large, round moon hung in the sky, casting a silver layer over the nighttime sea. Seeing Charlotte complaining about eating too much, Joe took her hand and walked along the beach to aid digestion. Hand in hand, they listened to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, feeling completely relaxed. “The moon is so beautiful tonight,” Joe glanced at Charlotte, his deep affection in his eyes more captivating than the vast sea. Charlotte stopped in her tracks, and Joe looked at her with confusion. With a gentle smile, Charlotte suddenly reached out and hooked her hand around Joe’s neck, kissing him passionately. Joe was momentarily stunned but then willingly deepened the kiss. The shimmering moonlight fell upon them, adding a touch of sensuality to the ambiguous atmosphere. It wasn’t until both of them were breathless that Joe released her, and they smiled at each other. After walking for a while, Charlotte looked up and saw the nearby forest. “Have we gone too far?” Charlotte suddenly turned around, realizing that they had unknowingly gone far from the villa area. Joe frowned as well. Although they were the only ones on the island at the moment, there was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be any other dangers.
He held Charlotte’s hand and spoke gently, “Let’s go back first.” Just as they were about to turn back, Charlotte’s gaze landed on a certain spot deep within the forest. That spot resembled a small hill, slightly taller than the surrounding trees, but it wouldn’t be noticeable unless one got closer to the forest. Charlotte frowned and looked at Joe, “Is there a flicker of fire over there?”
