Chapter 746  I Hope You Mean It

Day Seventy-Eight…

~~*****~~

[ At Country F… ]

"Oh god! I feel so bored staying here and doing nothing!" Chantha complained as she turned off the television.

"Why are we here? Can't we just go back to Country M? Our Supreme Leader didn't explain to me about our task. Why are we here?" Chantha began questioning Axel who was busy preparing the ingredients for today's menu. Axel just stared at her silently. How could he explain to her? There was no task. Nathan gave them this trip so that Axel could confess to Chantha. He couldn't tell her that.

Subconsciously, Axel blushed at that thought. 'Damn. Why do I feel like the Supreme Leader is forcing me to confess? I don't think I'm ready for this.' Axel exhaled deeply.

"Just be patient. We might get instructions from our Supreme Leader later.'' Axel tried to avoid her question, focusing his attention back on the vegetables.

"I'm gonna call our Supreme Leader and ask him directly!" Chantha stubbornly said as she picked up her phone. She dialed Nathan's phone number. But to her disappointment, she just got ignored by him. Nathan was not answering.

"Sigh! Axel, why drag me here? I still have an unfinished mission. The parcel from overseas… I haven't tracked it yet. What if Monica has already gotten the package? Abigail's life will be in danger." Chantha expressed her concern.

"But Cherry is already working on it. She is the ideal person for this job," Axel retorted.

"Can you relax? Nothing bad will happen. Dave is there to protect Abigail." He tried to reassure her.

"Hmm. Does Veronica give you the antidote?" Chantha asked him again, still feeling uneasy.

Axel stopped slicing the vegetables and darted his gaze toward Chantha. "Our medical team is working on producing the antidote based on Veronica's formula in her journal."

"They should finish it already. We never know when Monica is going to use the poison. She is a psycho!" Chantha was riled up just thinking about Monica.

"Don't worry. I think Phantomflake threatened Veronica. Sooner or later, she will cooperate with us to bring Monica down."

Chantha could only sigh helplessly. She didn't know why she was overthinking right now.

"So aside from cooking, what are we going to do now?" Chantha asked, walking towards Axel.

"We can stroll around the beach. Since we are here, why don't we enjoy the beautiful beaches?" Axel suggested.

"That's great! I brought bikinis! Hahaha. I have been waiting for you to say that. I thought you would never mention the beach." Chantha didn't leave their hideout because she thought Axel would report her to Nathan. She needed to behave.

"Alright! I'm just gonna cook our food then we will head out to the beach!" Axel declared.

Chantha clapped her hands and jumped with joy. Axel could only watch her in amusement.

'Surprisingly, this woman is so cooperative and well-behaved today.' Axel thought to himself, smiling faintly.

As Axel continued cooking, Chantha prepared her bikinis. "Hmm. I won't allow him to spoil the fun. I'll bring him a swimming trunk too. Hehe!" Chantha mischievously said as she packed their things. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

An hour later, Chantha and Axel headed to the nearest beach. Axel was the one driving the car while Chantha enjoyed the scenery through the car window. This was their first trip together without doing an important mission.

Once in a while, Axel was stealing glances at Chantha, still contemplating what he should do. 'Should I confess now or not? Chantha is right. We can't stay here for long. We have a lot to do in Country M.'

With this consideration, he started assessing himself if he had the courage to confess his feelings today.

"Let's go for a swim!" Chantha invited him when they reached the beach. "You should change from this." She handed a paper bag over to him. It contained a swimming trunk for Axel. Surprisingly, she knew his size.

When Axel accepted Chantha's paper bag, she immediately removed her outer dress, revealing her sexy pair of floral bikinis. Then she ran toward the seashore.

Axel just stayed rooted in his spot, watching her retreating back. He observed that several handsome male tourists glanced at Chantha, drooling over her sexy body.

"Sigh. Even here… I have so many competitors," Axel mumbled as he noticed that Chantha was waving at those handsome tourists. "Will she even look at me?" His inferiority complex kicked in once again.

Axel marched into the restroom to change. His mind was still preoccupied by Chantha. After changing his clothes, he picked up the picnic basket containing their food. He searched for a perfect spot for them.

Chantha started swimming while Axel placed their picnic set under the coconut tree near Chantha's location. He sat there, silently keeping an eye on her.

"Should I do it or not? And how?" Axel was undecided.

He was still lost in his own thoughts when two ladies in their sexy swimwear approached him.

"Hi, are you alone? Care if we join you?" the blonde woman shamelessly asked Axel, smiling seductively at him.

Axel wasn't able to respond right away because he was a little bit shocked. "Actually, we are looking for a perfect spot. Unfortunately, you've taken this spot already," The curly woman joined the conversation.

"Since you are alone, we decided to join you," she added, not giving Axel a room for rejection.

Meanwhile, Axel remained silent, blinking his eyes. Though he didn't want their company, he didn't know how to refuse. "Handsome, please," the blonde girl leaned over as she begged, deliberately revealing her full cleavage to Axel.

Axel immediately looked away, coughing as he hid his embarrassment. The blonde woman seemed to be interested in him so she kept flirting.

But unknown to them, a lioness was now making her way over them.

"Excuse me, Bitches. Get away from my man!" Chantha suddenly showed up from behind, shoving away the two women who were flirting with Axel.

Axel: "..."

'Did she just say I'm her man?' Axel watched Chantha in disbelief.

Scared by Chantha's intimidating aura, the two women quickly ran away, leaving them.

"You can't even say no to them, Axel?" Chantha snarled at him, showing her frustration. "Don't you dare flirt with other women," she murmured through her gritted teeth.

Axel didn't utter a word. He just looked at her, still processing her words.

"Will you sit here for the whole day? Come! Let's swim!" Chantha didn't wait for him to reply. She grabbed his hand and dragged him up, leading him toward the sea.

They were near the water, when Axel finally broke his silence, stopping Chantha from taking another step. "Did you just call me your man?"

Chantha turned to look at him and nodded, "Yes. I did, so that they would stop bothering you."

"That's all?"Axel pressed further, trying to figure out the meaning behind her words.

Chantha let out a soft giggle. "Of course. That's the only reason. Why? Do you think there is something more to that?"

"Yes," Axel promptly responded, staring at her intently. "I hope you mean it," he added.

This time Chantha stopped laughing as she noticed Axel's penetrating gaze. She suddenly felt the tension between them. 'Eh? Why is he giving such an expression? What's wrong with him?'
