Chapter 142

• It was past six in the morning. The sun had risen as the car traveled along the coastal road of Boljoon. They had already passed Eli Rock and were now on the straight, paved road beside the blue ocean. The waves gently lapped at the shore, and Lamech could smell the moss on the rocks.
• He occasionally glanced at Azora, who was staring out the window. She hadn't spoken since getting into the car back at the mansion. He hadn't forced her to talk and let her enjoy the beautiful scenery they were passing by.
• Now, as the soft rays of the rising sun hit her hair, he couldn't help but smile. Although he wanted to look at her longer, he couldn't take his eyes off the road for too long. He contented himself with stealing glances at her through the rearview mirror. It seemed she hadn't noticed what he was doing over the past few minutes.
