When the airport broadcast announced that the flight was about to take off , Kenton saw a familiar figure also boarding , and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief . From both the back and the side , that person looked remarkably like Ariella , even the beige trench coat was almost identical . But wasn't she supposed to be here to pick someone up ? Why would she be lining up at the boarding gate ? Could it be that Ariella was leaving too ? Countless questions swirled in his mind , and for the moment , he couldn't find any answers . Just as Kenton was about to go and confirm whether it was really her , the person turned around and glanced in his direction . From the side , she did look very much like Ariella , but it wasn't her . He let out a sigh of relief . Marisa reached out and tugged at his sleeve : " What's wrong ? " Her voice carried a hint of concern as she followed his gaze , only to see the crowded throng . " Are you tired ? The boarding gate is just ahead . " " Maybe it's just a bit stuffy in the airport . " Kenton's expression darkened , a trace of barely noticeable panic flickering in his eyes . He withdrew his gaze and supported Marisa as they walked forward . When they reached their seats , he helped Marisa fasten her seatbelt , but he himself didn't sit down right away . For some reason , he couldn't shake the feeling that the figure really was Ariella . But wasn't she supposed to be picking up a friend ? How could she be waiting in line to board ? 06:11 Chapter 9 288 Vouchers Kenton convinced himself that he must have mistaken someone else for her . " You don't look well , " Marisa said worriedly , touching his forehead . Her palm felt a bit hot . " Are you feeling unwell ? Should I ask the flight attendant to bring some water ? " " No need . I'll get a cup of water . You just sit here . " Marisa watched his figure as he quickly walked toward the rear cabin , her brows gently furrowing . She glanced in the direction he had been looking earlier , but saw nothing except a few passengers stowing their luggage . Maybe she was just overthinking it , she comforted herself , her hand gently resting on her lower abdomen - this was her only leverage to hold on to this man . Kenton gulped down a large mouthful of ice water , but it did nothing to quell the restlessness churning inside him . He took out his phone and scrolled through the screen , but there were no messages at all . Logically , Ariella should have met her friend by now , even if she was late , but she hadn't said anything to him . She used to report everything to him - why was she acting so strangely today ? He kept replaying the moment he saw Ariella at the airport in his mind . Her expression had seemed unusual , so maybe he was just overthinking it . Kenton's agitation only grew stronger . When he returned to his seat , Marisa was already leaning back with her eyes closed , but she immediately opened them and reached for the warm water in his hand . " It seemed like you saw something just now ? " " No , " Kenton turned his head , pinched her cheek , and said slowly , " Maybe the flight delay was too long , I just zoned out a bit . " After all , he didn't want her to worry , especially now that she was pregnant . Seeing him deny it again and again , Marisa finally stopped asking . She just leaned closer to 06-13 Chapter 9 288 Vouchers him and said . " After the wedding , can we go to the seaside ? I want to take our first meaningful photo with the baby by the sea . " " Sure , whatever you want . Your happiness is the most important thing right now . " Kenton gently touched her belly , his tone full of affection . But his gaze drifted out the window again . He didn't know why , but there was a vague sense of unease in his heart , though he couldn't pinpoint where it came from . A day later , the plane landed at the airport in France . The hotel they were staying at had been booked in advance by Kenton's assistant , Scott Bower . It was located by the sea , and as soon as you opened the window , you could see the deep blue ocean . While checking in , Marisa fumbled through her bag for her passport , moving a bit slowly . The receptionist , a young man , glanced over her , noting that she wasn't wearing anything extravagant , and a barely noticeable sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth . " Please hurry up , ma'am . " He urged impatiently . In the bustling lobby , his voice quickly drew the attention of several people . Marisa's face flushed bright red . She didn't know if the receptionist was acting this way because she hadn't given a tip , but she just felt his attitude was truly rude . " I'm looking for it , " she bit her lip , her voice tense . " Why are you rushing me ? " " Marisa . " Chapter 10 288 Mouchers Chapter 10 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
