章節 818: The Reunion (4)

On another small island, 

Ace and Alina sat on a beach close to each other while watching the beautiful sea sunset. 

Alina was leaning over Ace's shoulder with a blissful look in her dreamy eyes as if it was but a dream. Yet the sound of waves, cold winds brushing past her, and the familiar warmth she was feeling couldn't be any more real. 

"I missed you every day…" She muttered tenderly at this moment for the first time. 

Ace was enjoying this moment just as much as Alina and had a gentle smile on his face, "I as well, missed you. Thinking about you, wondering what you would've been doing, were you healthy and taking care of yourself. Now seeing you all grown up into a beautiful young lady, time really flies, hasn't it?" 

"It's been seventeen years, three months, and two days exactly since we'd been separated, so yes, time flies." Alina melancholically replied.
