Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 142 A Kiss In The Sky

"What is it?"

With his arms wrapped around Annabel tightly, Rupert fixed his eyes on her beautiful face, full of expectation and nervousness.

"Rupert, my answer is yes,"

Annabel whispered in his ear.

"I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you."

After a pause, she looked up at the man in front of her with affectionate eyes.

Her cherry-red lips parted and she added firmly, "In sickness and in health, 'til death do us part."

"Annabel, I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time."

Rupert's expression softened.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips against Annabel's, kissing her gently.

A spark was ignited deep inside him, making him feel restless.

"Anna..."

Pulling her even closer, Rupert kept whispering her name, deepening the kiss.

The two hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately.

Waves of pleasure washed all over Annabel's body.

She had never felt like this before.

It was a strange feeling, but she liked it.

When staring death in the face, Annabel finally realized what was in her heart.

She was willing to be with this man.

Even if he still had Candy in his heart, so what? Now that she understood what she wanted, she wouldn't let anyone get in the way of her relationship with Rupert, not even Candy.

She wanted him to love her wholeheartedly, and she was determined to make it happen.

Even if Candy showed up again, she wouldn't accept defeat.

The two kissed each other passionately amidst the sea of clouds.

All sense of panic and fear was instantly dispelled.

Annabel forgot where she and Rupert were.

They were too immersed in the romantic moment that they forgot that they were still falling from the sky.

After a while, the passionate kiss finally ended.

"Annabel, I'm very happy,"

Rupert whispered, resting his forehead against hers.

After waiting for so long, he finally got the answer he wanted.

Finally, Annabel was willing to be true to her heart.

The intimacy between them just now made her ears turn a little red.

She leaned against Rupert's chest, panting slightly.

In fact, she would've given him her answer sooner, but she couldn't ignore the fact that he still had Candy in his heart.

Why couldn't she own up to her feelings sooner? But Rupert didn't have the time to worry about that now.

At present, their lives were still hanging by a thread.

They were in the middle of a crisis.

Holding Rupert tightly, Annabel gulped and looked down.

The thick clouds made it hard to see what was down below.

But she guessed that they must've been over water.

"Rupert, what should we do now?"

Annabel asked worriedly.

Rupert looked at her reassuringly and answered, "Don't worry.

We'll find a way out of this."

"Okay..."

Annabel nodded.

Now, she just wanted to feel protected.

As long as she was with Rupert, she wasn't afraid of anything.

They slowly descended.

After a while, they could see the situation below.

As expected, they were headed towards the sea.

Looking at the vast sea below, Annabel frowned deeply.

This was the worst-case scenario.

Nature was their worst enemy right now.

"Rupert, we're going to land in the sea."

Annabel pursed her lips tightly.

"Without food and water, we'll survive for only a day—two, at most.

What're we going to do?"

Rupert also frowned as he looked at the vast expanse of water below them.

"I packed food and water in the bag.

Hopefully, a boat will pass by soon."

Before he jumped, he had done the best he could to prepare for the worst.

He took out his phone from his pocket, but there was no signal.

"Well?"

Annabel craned her neck to look at the phone in his hand.

Rupert shook his head sadly.

"No signal."

Rupert tried to send their location to Finley, but it was futile.

Disappointment flashed through Annabel's eyes.

Rupert put his phone back and sighed.

Holding her tightly, he still said, "No matter what, as long as we're together, we'll be fine."

She could feel the warmth of his palm on her skin.

It was as though he was sending his strength to her.

Just then, a thought occurred to her.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

Rupert asked in surprise.

Annabel carefully took off her necklace and held it up in front of Rupert.

The necklace was a gift from her grandfather on her sixteenth birthday.

At the time, Leonard had said to her, "Anna, I had this necklace specially made for you.

Although it looks ordinary, it might be very useful."

Confused, Annabel took the necklace and studied it curiously.

"What do you mean?"

With a smile, Leonard pointed at the pendant on the necklace.

"Take a closer look at this flower."

"Okay..."

Annabel looked at the little flower on the pendant, but she still didn't understand what was so special about the necklace.

"It's a tracker, and the flower is the switch.

If you ever find yourself in danger, press the button and I'll come and save you."

"Wow! Amazing!"

Since that day, Annabel wore the necklace, but she didn't take her grandfather's words seriously.

After all, there were very few people in this world who could make her in danger.

She had never tried to use it.

But now, perhaps it could save their lives.

Unfortunately, Annabel didn't know if it would work at sea.

However, given the circumstances, she had no other choice but to at least try it.

Annabel explained to Rupert, "My grandfather gave it to me when I turned sixteen.

He said I could use it to ask him for help if 1 was in danger.

I hope it works!"

"It's worth a shot."

Rupert looked at the necklace in Annabel's hand.

At first glance, the necklace looked ordinary.

But when Annabel pressed down on the flower, the necklace suddenly began to glow with a green light.

At first, it was shone bright green, and then it deepened bit by bit, gradually turning dark green.

"It worked!"

Annabel eyes lit up at the sight of the glowing pendant.

At the same time, she couldn't help but worry a little.

"I hope Grandpa receives our distress signal..."
