Hailee didn't know what to say when she saw this scene… she really didn't expect that a scene like this was really real and not something she saw in a painting masterpiece by a professional painter.
How come? The sky is so blue and clear, and the sea with rolling waves, brought surfers who were trying to ride it.
Some made it through the waves, some fell, but everyone seemed to be having a good time there.
This island was not open to many people, but it might be because Ramon, who was deliberately not exposing the island too much as he wanted to maintain the calm that this island radiates.
Knowing Ramon, that might happen.
However, from several faces that were around, Hailee knew that some of them were important people who occasionally appeared in the media and this was proven when some of them greeted Ramon by nodding at him. But, seeing Hailee was there and how Ramon responded, their greetings were very formal. Of course, they got this man's message clearly, which indirectly said not to bother him and his wife.
And most of them understood the implied message.
However, there was a man who was quite slow at reading the situation, he came over to Ramon and greeted Hailee as well.
"Congratulations on your marriage," said the man with a happy smile on his face. He even stretched out his fist and punched Ramon's shoulder. A fellow male greeting, which Hailee often saw Ian do.
Hailee knew this man as the son of a top artist who had long since left the cinema industry; Daryl Black, and Jasper Black is his son.
In fact, Jasper's career wasn't so bad either. It's just that the many scandals that covered him with many women, weighed down all his glorious accomplishments.
And not too long ago, Jasper was involved in a scandal with a married woman, which resulted for this man to be hunted by many journalists, but suddenly he disappeared and could not be found.
And it turned out that Jasper Black was actually hiding here ...
"Hello, I guess you know me," Jasper showed off a charming smile as he stretched out his hand to Hailee, which the girl greeted with the same smile.
But, seeing how Ramon glared at her innocent hand which was shaking hands with Jasper's, Hailee hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Somehow, Ramon's sharp gaze always scared her a little, even though this was not the first time Hailee saw Ramon directing such a deadly glare at her.
"So, you are honeymooning here?" Jasper stood in front of the two of them, blocking the way and trying to have a conversation that Ramon didn't need right now. "The few people who have been to this island always say that this is a paradise on earth and I agree with that, no wonder that this is a private island, Mr. Tordoff."
"Hm," Ramon responded curtly. Didn't want to get Jasper to get another idea of unnecessary questions. "If you don't mind, you can step aside. You are in my way."
The sentence was spoken politely, but also had a very harsh meaning and made Hailee widen her eyes a little.
It was the most forward expulsion Hailee had ever heard of and it was nicely packaged in a formal manner.
Hm ... quite interesting to learn. Maybe someday Hailee can use it on someone too...
Jasper immediately moved aside when Ramon finished saying this and threw Hailee a grin, which made her husband grab her hand as they walked away from there.
When they had been away, Ramon turned to one of his bodyguards and said, "This is the last time he is on this island."
It simply meant that Jasper would not be able to get to set a foot on Crestgold again. Ramon owned this island and troubled artist would never visit this place again, regardless of the good relationship between Ramon and Daryl.
After all, his father had also given up on his son who did not know the rules.
"Hey, aren't you being too cruel?" Hailee asked, tugging on Ramon's sleeve for the man to pay attention to her.
"Cruel?" Ramon frowned. "This is my private property, why can't I do what I want?" He asked his wife back.
And Hailee just shrugged while hugging Ramon's arm. "You look sexy when you are pissed off."
"Should I be annoyed all the time then?" Ramon asked, but his tone softened as Hailee hugged him and laughed cheerfully.
The wind from the beach hit their faces as it played with Hailee's long hair.
Currently, Hailee is wearing a plain white shirt coupled with jeans and sneakers. A simple and perfect combination for the activities they are going to do now.
"Where are we going?" Hailee asked, turning her head toward the beach that was getting farther and farther away.
At first Hailee thought Ramon was going to take her out on the beach, because last night he said he would teach her surfing, but they passed the beach and climbed up the cliff on the other side of the white house they were staying in.
Luckily Ramon had told Hailee to wear comfortable clothes, so she didn't have so much trouble walking this far.
Ramon didn't answer Hailee's question and instead smiled knowingly.
After ten minutes of silence, finally Hailee couldn't help but ask again. "Hey, where are you actually taking me?"
They had already climbed too high and since Hailee had not been exercising in a long time, their trip this time was enough to make her breathless, as for Ramon, he looked like he could do this all day long.
"You really need to exercise and stop lazing around," Ramon commented on Hailee's physical strength when they had to stop again, just so Hailee could rest for a few moments.
"Where are we really going? Why is it so far?" Hailee sighed heavily and tried to stand up straight. Sweat had already soaked her shirt and made her feel uncomfortable, especially since the sun was so hot.
For Hailee, whose daily activities were almost always filled with light activities, this kind of activity really drained her energy.
Ramon should have told Hailee in advance that they were going to go hiking, so that Hailee could exercise beforehand.
Well, at least she wouldn't be this embarrassing...
"We will be there soon," Ramon said simply, crossing his arms over his chest and looking at Hailee impatiently.
"You said that a few minutes ago," Hailee grumbled. At this moment, she wanted to retract her thoughts from a few hours ago, which said; there would be nothing to displeasure her with, for the fact that she was currently not at all happy.
"And a few minutes ago you were only walking for a few metres." Ramon raised his head and nodded toward the place, where Hailee had stopped a few minutes ago. "I can even still see where you stopped from here."
Hailee then followed Ramon's gaze and frowned because what this man said was true.
It sucks!
"I am thirsty," Hailee grumbled with a frown.
Hearing that, Ramon could only sigh and give the drinking water bottle he was holding to Hailee and let the girl finish it.
"Now can we start walking again?" Ramon asked. "We will not get to the destination if you keep stopping like this."
Hailee then gave the empty mineral water bottle to Ramon, which Ramon gave to one of his bodyguards again.
"I am tired, I feel like I can't walk anymore," Hailee sulked while kicking the pebbles under her feet. "I don't want to walk."
"We will not arrive if you refuse to walk," commented Ramon. He really had to reward himself for being so patient with Hailee.
Prior to this, if there was something that made Ramon feel unhappy or displeased with his wishes, he would neither have persuaded nor had the patience to deal with it.
Especially when it came to communicating with someone, Ramon would simply leave them be.
But, not with Hailee, even when the girl looked sulky, Ramon was surprised to find that he didn't feel angry at all.
If Hailee was someone else, then Ramon would definitely leave her there.
However, what Ramon did was just the opposite. This man seemed to have turned a hundred and eighty degrees and had extra patience.
Perhaps, it was also the result of months of training after dealing with the mood swings of Hailee that almost never failed to surprise him.
"I am dead tired," Hailee sulked again when Ramon was about to pull her up for another hike.
Seeing that Hailee really seemed like she really didn't want to take another step, Ramon could only squat down in front of her. "The place is not far away."
"Then what are you doing squatting in front of me?" Hailee asked, looking at Ramon's broad back. Looks like it's a pretty comfortable place to lay her head down, Hailee thought.
"Actually I wanted to drag you down, but because I was too good I didn't," Ramon said. "Come on up and we can finish this quickly."
"Sigh!" Hailee snorted and climbed onto Ramon's back, draping her arms around the man's neck. Right? Putting her head on Ramon's shoulder was so pleasant… even so, Hailee didn't voice it out loud. "If you really want to carry me, just say so. There's no need to praise yourself like that!"
Ramon then stood up effortlessly, with Hailee on his back and under the disbelieving gazes of the four bodyguards following them.
"If you don't want to, you can go down and back to the house," Ramon told Hailee. "But for sure, you will miss the amazing moment later."
"I really don't want to be carried by you, but because my leg hurts and you are forcing me, I can't help but obey," Hailee argued again and made Ramon laugh.
"I don't remember forcing you," Ramon answered lightly.
At this moment, it could be said that the two of them looked like a good match flirting with each other.
And the rest of the trip was filled with their small talk until they got to where Ramon wanted them to be.
At first, Hailee thought she was going to see something extraordinary… maybe hundreds of white roses again and a place for a romantic picnic, considering that this place was quite supportive for doing that.
However, Hailee forgot that Ramon would not possibly use the same trick twice and what she saw was much bigger than any of her expectations.
"Where are we going?" Hailee asked wide- eyed to her husband who was standing next to her smiling and kissing her hair softly in a whisper.
"What I want to show you can only be seen from up there."
Hailee didn't know what to say when she saw this scene… she really didn't expect that a scene like this was really real and not something she saw in a painting masterpiece by a professional painter.
How come? The sky is so blue and clear, and the sea with rolling waves, brought surfers who were trying to ride it.
