Chapter 269 - Do you believe in time travel? (1/2)

”F*ck it!” Wren exclaimed as if he had forgotten about his slightly throbbing head and muscle aches. He dashed towards Seraphina like a kid with the intention of getting back at her.

He added,”You want to play? Let's play!” The moment he got his feet in the ocean, he kicked the seawater towards Seraphina's direction, splashing her already doused body. Though she managed to avoid the majority of the strike, some water still spattered on her. Yet, Seraphina grinned even more and without a second's delay, she accepted the war Wren started.

”Oops.” Giggling, Seraphina teased Wren even more who was now soaking wet.

”You brat!” Grimacing in annoyance, Wren didn't back down even though he was slower and was being deluged from Seraphina's constant water splashes.

Watching the two play like kids, Rex, on the other hand, observed them with his inexpressive yet exquisite front. Shifting his gaze from Wren's annoyed expression and Seraphina's slightly flushed and bright face -- his tensed shoulders relaxed.

For a moment, he felt he had made the right decision bringing these 'kids' to unwind. Recalling the occurrence last night, both of them were drunk without a thought in the world nor the current danger lurking just around the corner.

[The real occurrence last night]

Though she was drunk, Seraphina was still able to talk to him. He actually never intended to head to the ocean if it wasn't for Seraphina's mumbling.

”Hey…”

Rex: ”...”

”Stop talking.”

Rex: ”I'm not talking.” Rex flatly responded without turning his attention from the road.

”Don't shout.”

”...” Rex was rendered speechless by Seraphina's drunken state. Alas, he soon understood that she wasn't talking to him but to herself -- or to be precise, to her demons. He understood more than anyone as a former soldier.

”Rex, they kept on shouting… it's tiring to listen.”
