Chapter 3
In the midst of the lively party, Nicole suddenly grabbed Sebastian's hand and pulled him outside, hiding in an inconspicuous corner of the party.
She took the initiative to tiptoe and gently rubbed her nose against his.
"What should I do? I really wanted to kiss you just now."
Sebastian was slightly stunned.
Then, he chuckled.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "If you want to kiss me, then kiss."
Without waiting for Nicole to take a move, he took the initiative and leaned down, pressing his lips against hers.
They embraced tightly, sharing a passionate kiss.
Their entwined tongue and passionate embrace made them appear as the most affectionate couple in the world.
Sebastian's breathing became increasingly rapid, while Nicole found it hard to catch her breath from the intense kissing.
She finally released Sebastian and giggled as she asked him, "Your wife is also on this cruise ship. Aren't you afraid that she will find out that you are having an affair?"
He smiled faintly, his tone full of doting.
"She's not important. Even if she died, I wouldn't shed a tear. But you are different..."
He hugged her and continued affectionately, "You are my life."
After saying that, Sebastian kissed her again.
For three whole days, he indulged in a sweet flirtation with her on the cruise ship, unaware of the passing time.
"I've heard that the moon looks especially beautiful from the cruise ship. Will you accompany me to see the moon tonight?"
He didn't hesitate at all.
"Sure."
Sebastian, with his first love, had just sat down to enjoy the view of the moon.
At this time, a piercing alarm suddenly echoed throughout the cruise ship.
Everyone was on alert, gathering together without knowing why.
"What happened?"
"The alarm suddenly sounded. Is there any danger on the cruise ship?"
After the alarm stopped, the staff on the cruise ship made an emergency announcement.
"Attention, please.
We have unidentified individuals on board this cruise ship. In order to prevent harm, we kindly ask all passengers to stay together with your companions and not to wander alone!"
Immediately afterward, the three-day ice cream party was called off.
The staff on the cruise ship had serious expressions as they conducted a personnel check.
People around realized something was wrong and started discussing it.
"Look at this situation, someone must have had an accident."
"I heard from my sailor friends before that whenever an ice cream party is held on a cruise ship, it's likely that someone has been killed and their body hidden."
Some timid passengers instantly shrank back in fear upon hearing this.
"Seriously? I'm easily scared, please don't frighten me!"
A sense of fear and anxiety enveloped the entire cruise ship.
Nicole frowned tightly, and she subconsciously moved closer to Sebastian's arms.
"What should we do, Sebastian?
Are we so unlucky?"
Just as I thought it was going to be a lovely cruise trip, something like this happens!"
Sebastian's gaze remained fixated on Nicole from beginning to end.
Seeing that the person in his arms was scared, he held her hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Soon, the staff on the cruise ship approached Sebastian and began asking questions while taking notes.
"Sir, are your family members all with you?" the staff asked.
Sebastian held Nicole's hand tightly and said without hesitation, "Yes."
The staff looked up at him hesitantly, repeating the question to verify once again.
"You have no other family members scattered, right?"
Sebastian nodded affirmatively.
Chapter 4
Witnessing that scene, a wave of coldness washed over me.
It turned out that from the beginning to the end, Sebastian had completely removed me from his heart.
Three days had passed, and he still hadn't realized that I was not around.
After the staff left, Nicole frowned.
"Sebastian, I haven't seen Avery in the past few days. Where did she go?
Could it be that she found out about us being together and got angry, which is why she's hiding and not coming out to see us?"
Upon hearing my name mentioned, the smile on his face gradually faded.
"She likes to cause a fuss unreasonably, and is probably just staying in the room by herself. She likes the quiet, so we don't have to bother about her."
Just then, a scream suddenly came from the distance.
"Someone’s dead!
She died in such a tragic way. Not only were her organs stolen, but she was also frozen in a freezer!"
That exclamation caused a panic.
The cruise ship staff rushed to the scene to maintain order.
It turned out that someone was running low on ice cream and wanted to sneak into the reserve refrigerator to take some ice cream secretly.
As a result, he found a body hidden inside the freezer.
The staff member said with a serious expression, "Everyone, please remain calm. The killer has disappeared, and so far, there is only one victim on the cruise ship.
We are still in the process of identifying the victim. If anyone has any information or can confirm the identity, please notify the family members for identification."
Due to the body being frozen in the cold storage unit, it would take some time to retrieve it.
Moreover, the body was covered in a thick layer of frost.
Many passengers approached to take a look out of curiosity but screamed in fright before quickly stepping back.
"We don't know her."
"Whose girl is this? She died so tragically!"
"She has been frozen in the freezer for three days, yet her family members haven't even noticed her disappearance. How heartless!"
When Sebastian heard those remarks, his face tightened.
He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally, he approached the freezer.
