Chapter 2

After my soul left my body, I witnessed the masked criminals who had killed me skillfully hiding my body away.

They had eliminated all traces of their actions.

The cruise ship's freezer was filled with ice cream.

In order to better conceal me, they informed the organizers of the cruise ship party that in celebration of the upcoming departure, there would be an ice cream party.

Upon hearing about the ice cream party, Nicole jumped up in excitement.

"That's great! I love ice cream..."

She was so excited that she lost her balance when she jumped up and almost stumbled.

Sebastian reacted almost immediately and rushed forward to catch her around the waist.

"You've grown up so much, yet you still act like a child.

If I weren't by your side, you would have cried if you fell."

Although his tone carried a hint of helplessness, it was full of doting.

As I floated around them, I couldn't help but be stunned by what I saw.

Sebastian used to speak to me with the same gentle tone a long time ago.

But I didn't know when it had changed.

All his energy and attention were shifted to Nicole.

In the past, I never believed in the saying, "When the ex cries, the current one loses."

But now, I had suffered a crushing defeat.

It was strange. I raised my hand and wiped the water off my face.

Why would a ghost cry?

I struggled several times, only to realize that no matter how hard I tried to float away, I couldn't escape from this cruise ship.

Perhaps it was because my body had been frozen, making it impossible for me to drift away.

Those criminals placed my body in the cold storage unit for over half an hour. Even my spirit was enveloped in the chilling cold.

I couldn't stop shaking, and frost slowly formed around my hands and feet.

It felt as if I had returned to the coldest winter three years ago.

In order to beg for mercy from Sebastian's enemies, I knelt in the snow for three days and nights.

Later, the other party was moved by my sincerity and spared him. They even provided him with partial financial assistance when his company faced bankruptcy, helping him make a fresh start.

After that, my legs started to suffer from coldness.

He held me in his arms with red eyes, knelt on the ground, and said devoutly, "Avery, I will never let you down."

On the thought of that, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I was already dead, and Sebastian remained unaware of it.

He continued to be immersed in the happiness of being with Nicole, laughing and talking together, unaware of the passing time.

The ice cream party attracted almost all the passengers on the cruise ship.

Someone suggested lighting up the dance floor.

All the young people who wanted to dance could choose their partners and join in for a dance.

Nicole and Sebastian were the last couple to go up.

She wore a cute dress, and her graceful dance moves made her look even more beautiful.

Sebastian held her tightly with one hand while his other hand lightly rested on her waist. They gazed lovingly into each other's eyes, their expressions filled with a hint of intimacy.

I recalled the past when Sebastian had physical contact with other women due to his social engagements outside.

I happened to see it, and we had a big fight when we came back.

I blamed him for not having clear boundaries with others.

After listening to my outburst in silence, he softened his tone and apologized to me, "Avery, I promise to be more careful next time. Without your permission, I will make sure not to touch any other woman, not even a handshake. Is that okay?"

But now, it seemed that all those promises he had made back then had been forgotten.

Or maybe he did, keeping his distance from any woman as promised.

However, Nicole was the exception.

They finished the entire dance together.

Then, thunderous applause followed.

The passengers below the stage praised them, saying, "What a lovely couple they are! They dance so well!"

"This young couple are so perfectly matched and loving. It reminds me of my husband and I when we were young!"

"I wish them to be together forever!"

Those words reached their ears.

Nicole blushed and looked up at Sebastian timidly.

At first, Sebastian was slightly taken aback, but he didn't offer any explanation. Instead, he smiled and silently acknowledged it, walking off the stage hand in hand with Nicole.
