Chapter 372 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

The airplane door put the ladders with red carpets down the way.

On the ground, hundreds of security men in black uniforms stood in two lines on either side of the road.

They all had their hands behind their backs. There was a respectable distance between their feet. As Leilani and Waylen passed by, they would put their feet together and stand on their backs.

It was probably their welcome ceremony.

One little boy and girl walked to them from the center of the carpet. They handed the fresh flowers to them.

“Welcome to B Country.”

Leilani held the flowers and looked down. They were pink Julie roses. They were Rebecca’s favorite.

“The people in B Country are famous for their hospitality, right?” Leilani saw an orchestra in the far distance like they were welcoming national leaders.

“They are as hospitable as open-minded.” Waylen smiled slightly. He held Leilani’s waist with one hand while holding the same Julie roses, and only they were blue.

“Who sends them?” Leilani knew Waylen would have a large number of bodyguards wherever he went. But she never saw them on such a large scale. Also, she took a look at their suits. There weren’t any Bamford emblems.

“Rebecca sent them, I assume.”

Was her family influential in B Country? From their security, Leilani could say they were as powerful as Bamford.

“Mr. Bamford,” A man in his 40s took a few steps. He had one hand in his chest and slightly bowed.

“Mr. Arlington was busy with business. He couldn’t be spared to come here. He sent me over to welcome you.”

He then turned aside and made a “please” gesture.

“The hotel and food were prepared. You must be exhausted from your long trip. Please have a good night’s sleep. If you want to see Miss Arlington, tomorrow would be fine too.”

Waylen didn’t respond. He held Leilani to enter a Lincoln limo.

“Are you tired?”

Leilani shook her head. She withdrew her look from outside the window. Waylen always had a way of putting her attention on him.

From what Leilani knew about Waylen, he meant much more than its literal meanings.

Waylen smiled with deep meanings. He locked his fingers with hers. Leilani became alert. Maybe instead of shaking her head, she should have nodded.

Leilani had to save her energy to refuse his excess urge to make love.

“I want to take you somewhere.”

Leilani didn’t know what Waylen had in his mind.

“Where?”

Waylen told the driver the address.

Leilani didn’t know B Country well. Leilani didn’t know where they were headed, even with the address.

The car stopped at a port. There was a seafood market nearby with a giant sign at the entrance.

Leilani was more confused.

“Waylen, are you taking me to the seafood market?”

Leilani failed to see the point.

“Don’t you like it?”

“Should I?” Waylen held Leilani’s hands. Leilani thought, upon entering, she would smell the thick repulsive aroma of seafood. After all, there were sorts of seafood in the market. The smell was imaginable.

But as Leilani walked in, she noticed the difference.

It was clean, unusually clean. It was not so much a seafood market than a SeaWorld park. The difference was that sea animals in the latter were not allowed for sale.

In this place, some licensed divers would capture whatever the customers liked. If the clients were interested, they could dive in and get the sea animals.

“What would you like?” Waylen held her hands to the blue passage. Above their heads on the cupboards were curved water tanks. The water with blue light shined down.

“Anything was fine?”Leilani was very fond of seafood. But she seldom had it since the pregnancy. It was not the ideal food for pregnant women.

“Only a little.” Waylen held her hands and kissed them.

“To satisfy your craving for seafood.”

Leilani didn’t know the majority of the names in the water tanks. She pointed at the Australian orange lobster.

“I want that.”

The lobster swung the clanks and put them together. Just imagine how hurtful it would be if getting clanked.

“Wait for me.” Waylen suddenly withdrew his hands and walked inside.

“What are you doing?” Leilani grabbed his sleeves.

“I shall capture you the lobster you asked.”

Leilani felt shocked by an electricity flow of love. Numb yet sweet, she also felt guilty when he had done too much for her. However, what she did for him was less than ten-thousandths of what Waylen did for her.

“They might clank you. Let the divers do it.” Besides, they were more professional.

Waylen held Leilani in his arms and lowered to bite her earlobes.

“If I can’t catch a lobster, how do I catch you? You’re much harder to be caught.”

Leilani’s ears were sweaty and hot. She could imagine how red her ears became.

“Wait for me! It’ll be soon!” Waylen asked Tinder to stay with Leilani, while he went to get ready, accompanied by security.

Leilani looked around for ferocious sea animals.

She found the sea creatures in the water tanks in the right were smaller in size; the ones in the left were relatively bigger. There were Emperor Crabs and other animals she couldn’t name.

Suddenly there was a giant shadow from Leilani’s left side. Leilani thought it was Waylen. She looked up and stepped back in shock.

It was a shark…

“Mrs. Bamford, where are you going?” Tinder watched as Leilani ran to find Waylen.

“Tell Waylen to stop diving! There are sharks!”

Tinder faked coughing.

“It’s alright. The sharks are trained to be not aggressive. They are just there for entertainment.”

“Are you sure?”Leilani still wasn’t assured.

“Just tell him to drop the idea. I’ll talk to him.”

But it was too late. Leilani heard water splashing. Waylen, with black scuba diving uniforms, got under the water with oxygen tanks.

Waylen wore scuba diving glasses and respirator on his nose. The uniform was tight, showing his well-built body.

Waylen waved at Leilani. She smiled at him and waved back. Then she pointed at the lobster.

Waylen put up three fingers and swam towards the lobster.

Waylen was tall and thin. There was a distinct grace when he swung his arms and legs.

Waylen soon located the lobster that Leilani pointed her fingers at.

Waylen swam over slowly. When he was an arm’s length with the lobster, he suddenly reached out. Unfortunately, it was the lobster’s domain. It reached faster to swim back and dodged Waylen.

Waylen swam to it again. When he reached out, it clanked Waylen’s fingers ferociously.

Fortunately, Waylen was wearing diving gloves on his hands. As lobster claws clamped him hard, he should feel some pain.

Leilani took a deep breath and watched Waylen catching the lobster and shaking the lobster in the tank.

She gave him a thumbs-up but did not relax. A considerable shark has swum to Waylen.

Leilani covered her mouth and pointed to the shark. Waylen turned his head and saw it too, and he was stunned.

The shark swam faster to Waylen, opening its mouth and revealing its sharp teeth.

Leilani panicked, patted the tank hard, and tried to distract the shark with sound. Holding lobster in his hand, Waylen swam forward. But the shark seemed to stare at Waylen, chasing him.

“Get the staff to save him.” Leilani slapped the tank hard, shouting at Robert.

She was scared that the shark would eat Waylen.

Robert was awkward about the play directed by Mr. Bamford. Would Mr. Bamford exile him if he revealed the secret now?

Thinking about it, he went backstage and pretended to call the staff.

At this time, there was a startling voice outside the tank, “Ah! Waylen! Watch out!”
