Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Have You Ever Resented Me?
Arthur Sutton walked Janelle Tollman all the way to her room door and softly asked, "Tomorrow morning... do you want to watch the sunrise together?"
Janelle paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "...Sure, when I was searching for travel tips today, I saw people saying that Serenea’s sunrise is beautiful."
Arthur nodded, "Then get some rest early, you’ll need to wake up early to see the sunrise."
"Okay, then... goodnight."
"Goodnight."
After closing the door, Janelle took a deep breath, and the smile on her face became more relaxed and carefree.
She also started to look forward to tomorrow.
Early the next morning, when Arthur came to knock on the door, Janelle was already dressed up, with makeup on, clearly having been up for a while.
Seeing this, Arthur smiled and said, "Looks like you’re ready."
Janelle explained with a dry laugh, "...I couldn’t sleep well in a new place, so I just got up."
Using this to cover up the true reason she got up early due to excitement.
Arthur had an expression that seemed to understand without saying, "Seems like we can have breakfast before we go. I originally planned to have it after watching the sunrise."
Janelle: "I’m fine with anything, I’m not very hungry yet."
She paused and suggested, "How about we walk there? I checked, it’s only two kilometers away, and the morning air is nice..."
"Whatever you say, shall we go now?"
Janelle immediately went back in to grab her phone and purse, "Let’s go."
Arthur once again took the initiative to hold Janelle’s hand, and Janelle was momentarily surprised but quickly returned to normal.
She felt that their relationship was developing faster than she imagined.
Arthur seemed like someone who was not very skilled at romance, yet he always managed to touch her heart with small details.
Watching the sunrise by the sea seemed to symbolize romance. By the time they reached the seaside, there was already quite a crowd, including many young couples.
People in love are never stingy in expressing their feelings, whether through words or actions.
Perhaps influenced by such an atmosphere, Janelle quietly slipped her hand around Arthur’s arm.
"It seems there’s a bit of fog today, the view might not be as good."
Whether Arthur noticed or didn’t care, it made Janelle feel relieved. She shook her head with a smile and said, "It’s okay, the beauty of ambiguity is still beauty."
Arthur turned his head to look down at her, the orange-yellow light of the sunrise outlining her facial features with exceptional softness.
This face, which had appeared countless times in his dreams, he had imagined in various scenarios, but seeing it in person was more breathtaking than any face he had ever imagined.
"Janelle..."
Janelle averted her gaze from the sea and looked at him with slight confusion.
"Have you ever... hated me? My appearance changed your life, if none of that happened, maybe you wouldn’t have gone through so much hardship."
Janelle stared blankly at him for a while, thought seriously, then shook her head with a smile, "No hatred, but I was cautious around you."
Arthur: "Cautious?"
Janelle nodded, "Because when you first appeared, I thought you were strange. I could sense you didn’t come to my shop just to buy perfume. After finding out about the child, I worried if your approach was to take the child away from me. To be honest... even this time when I came to find you, I was worried about that."
Arthur suddenly chuckled and asked her, "This time you came to find me? Didn’t you say you were here to see friends?"
