She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 475: Alone Moment

The soft firelight reflected on Kelvin's deep and handsome face. His long eyelashes curled slightly, giving his skin a honeyed hue.

His every muscle was full, strong, and beautifully defined, exuding a masculine sexiness that made Cheyenne couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Kelvin turned to look at her and saw that her eyes, like they could speak, were fixed on him. The admiration in her eyes was unabashed. This realization lifted Kelvin's spirits, and without being noticed by Cheyenne, his deep-set eyes shimmered with pride.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In the past, if someone complimented him for being handsome, Kelvin wouldn't have been happy, and he might have even felt annoyed by the vulgar words used to describe him. He had achieved his current success through hard work and perseverance.

While others were still worrying about their homework and enjoying their youthful love, Kelvin's life was filled with various forms of tutoring and extracurricular classes.

Just after he graduated, he changed into suits that didn't match his age and engage in complicated work.

And no one knew about the countless sleepless nights he suffered from stomach pains...

The world only saw his glamorous side, never knowing that he was just an ordinary man who occasionally felt tired. When countless women praised him with eyes full of admiration for his wealth and good looks, Kelvin would silently ridicule their infatuation and foolishness.

Before, he had also lumped Cheyenne into that category of women.

Now he realized how terribly wrong he was.

If he could use his handsome appearance to captivate Cheyenne, he would be willing to do it.

However, just as he was happily thinking about presenting his left profile to her, she withdrew her gaze.

She walked over barefoot from the blanket and sat down next to him, tending to the fire. She resumed her former icy and elegant demeanor.

Huh...

Was she no longer interested?

It hadn't even been a minute yet. Could it be that he had been too busy lately and his physique had worsened, causing it to differ greatly from before?

He remembered that when Cheyenne first saw his body, her face had turned red, and she had stared dumbfounded for about five or six minutes before snapping out of it.

Could it be because Cheyenne had also seen the men around her without their clothes!

Thinking of this, Kelvin couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Indeed, Cheyenne's grown up, and she's seen the allure of the world."

Sitting right next to him, Cheyenne, who happened to hear this confusing remark, looked puzzled. "What did you say?"

What allure of the world?

He awkwardly touched the bridge of his straight nose and coughed awkwardly. "It's nothing. Oh, by the way, I have almost finished drying your dress."

As he spoke, he handed the dress he was holding to Cheyenne, suggesting she could change into it tomorrow.

"Thank you."

Cheyenne accepted the dress, her emotions complex. Speaking of which, this dress wasn't even hers, it belonged to that green-masked man... Suddenly, her mind wandered to a winter day, when it was snowing, she went to the Zamora Villa to find Kate to go to school together.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Eddie, a gentle and warm-hearted boy, sitting by the heater, warming Kate's coat.

Eddie and Kate's parents had

passed away early, but Kate had a loving older brother who shouldered the responsibilities of a father and mother in her life, taking care of her daily needs. He was an empathetic and gentle older brother.

That scene was deeply imprinted in Cheyenne's mind, and she had even envied it to the point of tears... What was the point of having a father and a family if they were like hers? It was better to have none at all.

When she was lost in thought, Kelvin approached Cheyenne, handing her a can of beef and softly saying,

"Cheyenne, are you hungry? Havet

some canned food. There are also

wild berries over there, save just for you."

The wild berries were placed on a clean banana leaf, with glistening droplets of water on top, clearly washed with care. Cheyenne was moved once again by his thoughtfulness. She bent down, reached out, and took a bite of the wild berries. It was different from the fruit she had in the morning, this one smaller in size, green in color, and slightly sour in her mouth...

After dinner, Cheyenne folded a tree branch to use as a makeshift toothbrush and rinsed her mouth with seawater.

Squatting in the cold wind at the entrance of the cave, she brushed her teeth expressionlessly while...

The beef in the can was tasty, but the flavor was overpowering... And there were only four or five cans in total in the box, just enough for her and Kelvin to eat for one day. They couldn't just sit around waiting for death after finishing these cans.

Who knows how many days they would have to wait for someone to find them in this situation? People were scarce, and there was no way to communicate with the outside world. If they couldn't leave for their entire lives, would she and Kelvin be destined to grow old alone on this small island?

No, no, just thinking about such an outcome sent chills down her spine.

She still had a lot of things to take care of; she absolutely couldn't sit around and wait here.

Tomorrow, she would explore the island, see if there were any signs of human habitation or any place that could connect them to the outside world.

While Cheyenne leisurely brushed her teeth and washed up, Kelvin had dried her clothes and neatly folded them on the bed.

Compared to Cheyenne, who was filled with worries at the moment, he appeared more relaxed.

Having lived for almost thirty years, apart from a few relatively easier years during kindergarten, he had been busy every single day since gaining consciousness. Rarely did he have such leisure time, especially with someone he liked, where he didn't have to worry about anything other than the most basic needs for survival... Without any form of entertainment or activities, the two sat quietly together, feeling comfortable even without saying a word. Cheyenne, under the faint candlelight, casually polished the stone in her hand, intricately carving patterns with a knife.

Kelvin was afraid she might hurt her eyes, so he picked up a stick and poked at the fire, making it burn more vigorously.

Everything suddenly became bright, and when she turned to look, she saw him earnestly tending to the fire, and her heartstrings fluttered.

Finally, she finished shaping the originally angular stone into a smooth oval, burying it under the fire.

After the fire extinguished, she dug it out and wiped off the dust with a cloth.

This was the first time she was so focused on making these little trinkets; Kelvin couldn't help but curiously ask, "What is this for?"

"This is called a healing stone, used to treat your illnesses. You still have a slight fever and... your knee is hurting, right? If you put this on it, it will help."
