NovelOnlineChapter 126: Connor was already irritable from a restless night, and Marissa's teasing only worsened his mood. He felt on the verge of losing his temper. But deep down, he knew he had no real reason to be upset with her. It was his choice to be near her while she slept, and she hadn't done anything wrong. It was his own lack of self-control that was to blame, not her After a brief silence, he muttered, "You little fox." Indeed, she hadn't actively tried to drain his vitality, but her allure made him willingly give it up. Each tthey were together, she seemed radiant while he appeared worn. If not a fox, then what? Clearly, Marissa had misunderstood him. Before he could say anything else, she raised her hand and said, “I understand. I get it. Mr. Daniels, you're about to tellto leave again, right? I'll go now. You don't need to say it." Marissa had noticed Connor's mood swings every tshe slept next to him. She was used to it by now, so she planned to avoid him. With that thought, Marissa got out of bed and started to leave Meanwhile, she pondered what could have troubled him while she slept. She had only asked him to sleep beside her, not to guard her. He looked so worn out that anyone would think he had been battling ghosts all night gvlnovsis where magic happens Yet, things were unfolding differently this time. Marissa hadn't finished putting on her shoes when she heard his voice from behind, saying, "I didn't tell you to leave." After a brief pause, Marissa finished putting on her shoes, then turned around and asked, "By the way, didn't you mention you had something important to tellyesterday? Tellnow." Connor made an effort to stabilize his emotions and replied in a steady voice, "I'm planning to go on a trip on the Sunrise in a few days. You should stay in Biebert. I'll leave Domenic here. If you need anything, he can assist you." Marissa, puzzled, asked, “Amiri has put a bounty on your head. Why are you still going out? It's safer for you to stay in Biebert right now." Connor responded, "It's precisely because of Amiri's provocation that I need to go. Hiding isn't my style. I've heard that Amiri will be on the Sunrise soon. I want to confront him directly." Marissa nodded to acknowledge she understood. The head of the Daniels Group was a prominent figure on the international stage. The whole world was watching the conflict between Connor and Amiri unfold. If Connor showed any cowardice, he would beca laughingstock. Initially, Amiri had sought a truce. But because of Connor's firm stance and his intention to eliminate Amiri, the situation had escalated to desperate measures Connor was a decisive leader. His decision to confront Amiri meant he likely had a strategy and all necessary preparations in place. Still, Marissa was deeply concerned for Connor's safety. She felt she needed to keep an eye on him for her own peace of mind After a brief silence, she requested, "I want to cwith you." She had plans to be on the Sunrise anyway. It would be better for her to attend openly as the wife of Biebert's wealthiest man rather than sneak aboard in disguise. Plus, it would be less expensive But Connor looked puzzled. "Why do you want to go there?" "I want to broaden my experiences. I've heard the service on the Sunrise is top-notch. I've never had the chance to enjoy it." "If it's about having fun, I can take you another time. I have serious business this time. It wouldn't be convenient to have you with me." "Just focus on your business. I can entertain myself. You won't need to worry about me." "I'm concerned for your safety. I'm dealing with Amiri on this trip. I might not be able to look after you properly." "I've heard that nobody dares to break the rules set by Paul, so as long as you bringaboard the Sunrise, I'll be perfectly safe." Seeing Connor still hesitant, Marissa continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to take me. I can go on my own. We can even act like we don't know each other on the cruise ship." Seeing her determination, Connor said helplessly, “I can bring you, but you must promise to stay put and not wander off."
