Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 470: Slowly, the sun descended and vanished beneath the sea. Only a warm fusion of gold and red hues adorned the sky. The sea at sunset was enchanting. It was all so beautiful. Candice stood on the deck, captivated by the view. She had never been on a yacht or witnessed a sunset at sea, and its splendor surpassed her expectations. The gentle sea breeze kissed her skin, prompting her to tighten her collar. She had spoken her mind, and from this point, he should despise her entirely.

A bitter ache filled her heart, and no matter how stunning the scenery was, it couldn't erase the sorrow that weighed her down. In a blink, the setting sun vanished, and the sunlight waned, the entire process taking little more than ten minutes. As the sky darkened, an inky veil enveloped the tranquil sea. She sensed footsteps behind her. Candice knew it was Milton emerging from the cabin. He hadn't come onto the deck until now. She was certain he was furious. She didn't turn to face him, nor did she have anything left to say.

Milton walked onto the deck, where tables and chairs were arranged. He set a tray on a table. Candice stood at the bow, her long hair dancing with the sea breeze as the twilight glow enveloped her, making her appear delicate and vulnerable. The aroma of cheese and fresh basil wafted toward her, and she wondered where such tantalizing scents could come from at sea. Surprised, she turned to find Milton had brought her pizza, coffee, and dessert. Suddenly, she realized how hungry she was.

She hadn't eaten anything since the morning court session, and their intimate encounter had drained her energy. She felt famished. Mσгε υρďατεѕ ιη ɢαℓησνεℓѕ.¢σм Milton seated himself and gestured toward the table. Candice hesitated, but her hunger overpowered her desire to refuse him. She sat across from him. A freshly baked pizza graced the plate. Had Milton spent the twenty minutes before sunset cooking pizza and making coffee instead of stewing in anger? Did he make these for her? He slid a cup of coffee toward her. Candice peered at the cup to find her favorite mocha.

Milton had even artfully decorated the foam. She marveled at his refined taste and skill-he even knew how to decorate coffee foam. She took a sip, savoring the perfectly balanced blend of freshly ground coffee and sugar. Milton lifted his own Americano, the bitter liquid coursing down his throat, echoing the bitterness in his heart. Yet, he remained silent. Starving, Candice devoured two slices of pizza in silence. The mellow coffee and gentle sea breeze would have been heavenly if not for the tense atmosphere. . . . Message from Noah: New novels tomorrow, hope you like them dear readers.
