Rowan was still just a young lady at heart, so meeting Andrew in public still made her feel a little shy. Chantelle tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. “Andrew, why don’t you two talk over there? I’ll wait here. We still have plenty of time.”

Andrew gave her a wry smile. “Alright then, wait for me. I’ll be back soon. Ms. Maddock, this way, please.”

Rowan gave a soft hum, and the two of them walked into the airport’s VIP lounge. As soon as the curtain was pulled shut, she threw herself at him.

“You were leaving without even saying goodbye. Andrew, are you trying to be a heartless jerk?”

Her sweet breath hit his face as she scolded him fiercely.

Andrew wrapped his arms around her delicate waist and hurried to calm her. “Easy now. Weren’t you going to talk about Onyx Serpents and its development?”

Rowan huffed coldly. “I wouldn’t waste such precious time talking business with you! Andrew, how long will you be gone? When are you coming back?”

Andrew replied, “I really can’t say for sure. Do you have something going on?”

Rowan wrinkled her cute nose in protest. “Nothing specific, but what am I supposed to do when I miss you after you’re gone?”

Andrew smiled. “Then come find me in Chetvine.”

Only then did Rowan break into a smile, looking breathtakingly beautiful. “That’s more like it. At least you have some conscience! Quick, we need to hurry!”

Andrew looked puzzled. “Hurry with what?”

Rowan’s face flushed red. “Make out, of course! I just got together with you and experienced how wonderful dating can be. And now you’re about to leave, so naturally I need to make the most of our time!”

With that, she leaned in to kiss Andrew.

As a man, Andrew certainly could not refuse such a wonderful opportunity. So, he reached out with his strong hands, pulled her close, and in her soft gasps and moans, he kissed her deeply.

The two kissed for several minutes before slowly pulling apart.

Rowan could barely stand, relying completely on Andrew’s support.

“You’re such a jerk!” She wiped her mouth, completely satisfied.

Andrew looked down at her and smiled. “They say you’re born of winter’s essence, which is supposedly great for martial arts cultivation! How about I experience that for myself?”

Rowan’s face turned bright red. “In your dreams! Andrew, don’t you think things between us are developing pretty fast?”

Andrew shook his head. “Not at all. I actually think we’re going too slow. By now, we should have already been intimate several times!”

Rowan’s cheeks grew even redder. “Is that all you think about?”

Andrew smirked. “Don’t tell me you don’t think about it too?”

He gave her a playful squeeze, making her body squirm as she laughed breathlessly.

“When you come back, or when I come to find you, let’s sleep together!” she whispered softly in Andrew’s ear.

Then, she let go of Andrew and straightened her dress.

Andrew pinched her soft cheek and smiled. “If you run into any trouble in Gabo Creek Province, go find Mr. Keller Senior. Or you can go to Serenity Villa and find the others. Got it?”

Rowan nodded. “Yeah, I know. Andrew, I want to call you ‘honey’ too, just like Chantelle and Lauren do!”

Andrew winced, but seeing her pitiful expression, he eventually gave in. “Fine, go ahead and call me that. They’re going to find out about you sooner or later anyway.”

Just like that, the two walked back as if nothing had happened.

After waiting another ten minutes or so, it was finally time to board. Andrew wheeled his luggage while Chantelle and Natasha followed, and the three boarded the plane.

Agatha and Rowan stood there smiling and waving goodbye to the trio.

The moment they boarded the plane, Chantelle asked curiously, “Madam Vostokoff, didn’t you think Ms. Maddock seemed a bit off?”

Natasha nodded in agreement. “I noticed it too. I couldn’t tell if Ms. Maddock had internal injuries or was just feeling unwell. When she was standing there, it felt like her legs were constantly trembling. And her face was way too red, almost like she’d just been pulled out of the water after nearly drowning.”

Chantelle quickly agreed. “Yes, yes, exactly that!”

Andrew broke out in a sweat as he listened to them chatter. Rowan’s legs were trembling because of him, and her flushed face was from their kiss.

He thought, ‘Lord, have mercy, what a mess!’

The plane took off, and three hours later, Andrew would be landing at Terror Town’s airport.
