Chapter 81: Heroine is Fishing

The sun was dipping low in the sky on the third day of their trip when Lucan and Maris returned to the hotel after enjoying a satisfying barbecue on the beach. The air was warm, carrying the scent of salt and grilled food.

Lucan, however, found himself feeling a bit sluggish. Perhaps it was because he had indulged too much at lunch, with the savory grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and the exotic fruits they had picked together. As a result, when they returned to the mansion for dinner, Lucan could only manage to sip some soup while Maris, with her ever-present appetite, ate heartily as usual.
