Loving A STRANGER Chapter 397

Dinah couldn't sleep again. She sat in the blanket, staring at Stephen with her jaw laid in her palm. "What can we do or visit for fun in the Maldives?"
"No idea." Stephen pulled out a magazine and started to read it.
"I think it's fun enough to be with Kylie," Dinah said to herself.
Stephen's sight stopped for a few seconds, then kept on reading. When he just turned a page, Dinah stopped him. "Wait for a second!"
Stephen gave her a glance, then got rid of her hand. "Get a magazine yourself if you want to read."
"Kylie is in the poster on the page!" Dinah stopped him once more.
Stephen didn't get rid of her hand this time, and his sight followed Dinah's hand falling on the huge color page in the middle of the magazine.
If Dinah didn't tell him, he couldn't recognize the person standing at the corner in the poster was Kylie.
Kylie was in a silvery gown, and her long, soft hair was half hanging behind her, and half slipping down her shoulder like a black waterfall.
Kylie was the youngest person in the crowd, but she was still very noticeable.
Seeing the dimples at the sides of Kylie's lips, Stephen's eyes became gentle.
"You have sharp eyes," he said.
"Of course! Kylie and I are close friends." Dinah pointed at the woman standing next to Kylie. "See? This is the Best Actress Sally, but Kylie is as noticeable as her."
"Yeah." Sally nodded.
Dinah suddenly remembered something and asked Stephen, "Did you read the news?"
"What news?" Stephen's sight was still on Kylie in the poster.
"Um." Dinah licked her lips and said in a low voice, "Ethan proposed to Kylie."
"I know." Stephen seemed calm and kept on reading the magazine.
Seeing he was calm, Dinah was relieved. "I'm glad that you can accept it."

Stephen threw the magazine to her and stood up. "I need to use the washroom."
Dinah made a face. It seemed it wasn't easy for him to accept it.
When Stephen walked to the washroom, he stopped a stewardess. "Could you please sell the magazine on the plane to me?"
"Do you mean Extreme Luxury?" the stewardess said with a smile. "No problem, I can send you a brand new one."
"Thanks," Stephen said.
After the plane landed, and the passengers were all off, the stewardess found the magazine she sent Stephen was placed still on his seat, but the poster in the middle was missing.

Kylie arrived at the Maldives seven hours earlier and flew to the island by a private helicopter.
Looking down at the blue sea from the high air, Kylie was in a better mood than ever.
"Can you go diving with me? I heard there are many beautiful fishes here." Kylie pulled Ethan's hand for his agreement.
"We need to ask for the doctor's opinions first. If it's OK, I'll go with you." Ethan's hand fell on her belly.
"The water pressure is very high during diving. Generally, it's not recommended for pregnant women to dive," Director Keys said with a serious look.
Kylie flushed in embarrassment, looking at Ethan, but Ethan accepted it with a calm face. "I think it's fine to dive in a shallow place."
Lucas had a slight fear of heights, but he didn't have much reaction when he was on a flight because he couldn't look down. However, the helicopter tilted all the time, and he was scared, clasping Faith's hand along the way.
Faith couldn't get rid of his hand and said in annoyance, "Couldn't you be a real man?"
"I'm afraid I can't now." Lucas shut his eyes.
Kylie gave them a glance, then smiled. "Faith, why don't you lend him your shoulder?"

At this moment, Ethan made an order to the pilot to speed up my headset.
The helicopter made a sudden tilt, and Lucas clasped Faith's hand with greater force. Luckily, they were all wearing a noise-proof headset, so nobody heard Lucas's loud screams.
When the helicopter hovered over the island, Kylie was surprised to find that the shape of this island turned out to be like a gourd.
"Wow, it looks like a gourd." She smiled.
"We can stay here as long as you like. There is everything on this island," Ethan said.
"Great." Kylie leaned in his arms and asked all of a sudden, "Will it affect your work?"
"Don't you know there is a thing called video meeting?" Ethan gave her a glance with disdain.
Kylie pouted, then continued to appreciate the beautiful view.
The helicopter landed in the middle of the island, and there were two cars parked there to welcome them.
"Lord Ethan." Two well-trained bodyguards opened the car door for them with great respect.
Ethan supported Kylie getting in a car, and the rest shared another behind them. About 20 minutes later, they arrived at a three-story building complex.
"Are we home?" Kylie stretched out when she got out of the car. It was really tiring after transferring to those modes of transportation all the way here.
"Yeah," Ethan said, then turned to the housekeeper. "Clean the guest rooms on the second floor. We have several guests staying here."
"Yes, Mr. Parker," the housekeeper said. When he helped them move baggage, he kept glancing at Kylie.
Ethan then remembered he hadn't introduced Kylie yet. "Oh, this is Mrs. Parker, do whatever she wants."
The housekeeper was greatly surprised, then bowed to Kylie in excitement. "So nice to meet you, Mrs. Parker!"
Kylie gave Ethan a side glance. "Shouldn't you tip him?"
The housekeeper had never heard anyone who dared talk to Ethan like that, but Ethan didn't seem annoyed at all and even gave the housekeeper five hundred dollars without hesitation. "Take good care of Mrs. Parker."
"Of course, Mr. Parker." The housekeeper took the money with two hands.
Ethan took Kylie's hand, walking inside. "My cards are all bound to your mobile phone. Each bill will be shown on your phone in the future. Darling, you have the right to check my bills."
"Really?" Kylie looked up at him. "Very well!" Kylie was satisfied. She kissed on Ethan's cheek and left an obvious lipstick print there.
The housekeeper turned his head aside at once and held a deep admiration for this, Mrs. Parker.
When Mr. Keys noticed the lipstick print on Ethan's cheek, he pretended that he didn't see it and followed the housekeeper walking to the second floor, whistling.
Faith supported Lucas, who was vomiting along the way, and missed the small detail but followed Mr. Keys stepping upstairs right away.
"I want to walk around." Kylie held Ethan's arm with a smile when others were all gone.
"Don't you want to have a rest?" Ethan rubbed the back of her waist.
"It's so beautiful here. I want to have a walk around here before I take a rest." Kylie acted cute before Ethan. Ethan agreed and guided her walking around in the villa.
There was a large vegetable patch and a large wine cellar with lots of collector's editions of red wine behind the villa. On flat ground, several meters away was placed much fitness equipment. It seemed to be a gym.
"Did old Mr. Parker acquire this island?" Kylie asked.
"Nope." Ethan smiled. "It's a birthday gift I sent him to his birthday party this year."
Kylie laughed. "You're really an economical man. You knew old Mr. Parker was going to send this island to me!"
