Chapter 140
Her eyes felt a momentary warmth as she turned her head to see the tall Kenneth standing right behind her.
His black leather shoes glistened under the fireworks, and the slim black suit pants perfectly matched the sweater she had prepared for him.
It was a gaudy burgundy sweater, but somehow, it looked exceptionally good on him.
"What? Did you pack a men's sweater in your suitcase for some other guy?" His words carried a clear threat-if she dared to say yes, that guy wouldn't have a chance.
"It's for you." She just didn't expect Kenneth to actually wear it..
Kenneth took a few steps forward and tied the scarf around her neck.
Under the fireworks, they stood facing each other, their eyes filled with the fireworks glow and with each other.
Ophelia asked, "Does Milagia allow fireworks?"
Kenneth frowned and thought, 'Is this really what she should be asking now?
"Of course," replied Kenneth.
"Okay." Ophelia replied.
Just as her lips formed a pout, Kenneth bent down and captured them with his.
Under the dazzling fireworks, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to deepen the kiss and savoring her
essence.

She joined the guild at a young age, being one of the rare girls who stayed. Every mission she undertook was A-Class. She thought, 'How can I not measure up to her? How can it be?'
She practiced fighting against the air alone until she was completely exhausted, her hair drenched with sweat, yet she refused to stop.
Probably due to the jet lag, Ophelia found it hard to fall asleep early.
When she went downstairs to get some water, she noticed the lights were still on in the gym and saw a tall, lean figure practicing strikes repeatedly.
She threw on a jacket and walked into the gym alone.
Melanie keenly sensed being watched, gradually halting her movements. Seeing it was Ophelia, she awkwardly looked away.
"Practicing this early, without warming up your muscles properly, makes it easy to get injured." Ophelia mentioned casually, though she actually quite admired Melanie.
Melanie remained silent. The next second, as she jumped off the ring, a sudden snap echoed in the spacious gym. Melanie twisted her ankle, and the sharp pain almost made her lose balance. 1/3

Ophelia raised an eyebrow, wondering if her words had jinxed Melanie.
Melanie still kept quiet, walking normally to grab some water and drink it, though her face turned slightly pale.

Melanie squinted slightly, unable to read her. "You don't love Kenneth at all," she said with certainty.

Melanie looked at the person in front of them, eyes filled with mixed emotions. "Do you think just because Kenneth loves you, you can act fearlessly?" "What else would I do?" Ophelia replied.
Ophelia thought, 'Isn't there a song lyric that says those who are favored act fearlessly?'
"You..." Melanie was speechless. The bottle in her hand was crushed, and she watched as Ophelia walked over to the shooting
range.
She expertly assembled the machine gun and, once ready, aimed at a target over a hundred meters away shooting.
With three shots, she barely hit the bullseye.
Melanie sneered disapprovingly. "Looks like shooting isn't your strong suit."

Ophelia asked, "Is this a rifle? It's my first time using this type of gun."
Melanie frowned. "Who are you trying to fool? You can even put it together; how could this be
your first time?"
"I watched you put it together yesterday."
Melanie was taken aback by her words. She thought, 'How can someone learn to assemble
it just by watching once?'
She remembered that the first time she shot a rifle, she couldn't even hit the third ring. She thought Ophelia must be lying.
Ophelia walked around the venue, taking a look at the areas she hadn't visited yesterday. Soon, the people at the base gathered to begin their training.
Ophelia went back to the villa at the rear, snuggling into Kenneth's arms like a little squirrel.
Kenneth held her tight, messing up her hair as he ruffled her head. She still carried the cool air of the mountain. "Where did you go?"
"Just looking around. When are we going back?" She was already missing Lisa's dumplings.
"If you had to live here in the future, would you get used to it? I'm not planning to stay with the Sinclair family for too long." Ophelia stared at him, wondering if he felt the same way. She thought, 'Has he also completed his revenge?' She remembered in her previous life, after Kenneth divorced her, he returned to Milagia, but at that time, she wasn't aware of the Sinclair family's situation.
Seeing her silent for a moment, Kenneth didn't ask further. "Whenever you want to go back, you can go back. The decision is yours, my dear wife"

Kenneth's deep voice carried a touch of morning huskiness, sensually whispering in her car. He held her closely, kissed her forehead, and said, "I want to introduce you to an elder today. Would you like to come?" Ophelia thought, 'Is he really asking for my opinion?' In her memory, Kenneth was very decisive, rarely asking her opinion. So of course, she had to go. The elder he wanted to introduce her to was likely significant to him.
She had heard from Lisa before that after his mother passed away, a friend of his mother took him abroad. He was probably taking her to meet this person.
They got up, tidied up, had breakfast, and changed clothes.

They dressed almost the same; Kenneth was tall and straight, Ophelia slender and tall, perfectly matched when standing together.

This time, Kenneth drove himself with Ophelia in the passenger seat. As they drove out of the base, yesterday's scene played out before them again.
"Should we go buy some things?" Ophelia thought they couldn't visit the elders with nothing.
"It's all set." Kenneth thought she always had a lot to worry about.
Kenneth drove with one hand while gently ruffling her hair with the other.
On the way, he answered a call. A mature and steady woman's voice came through the phone. "Where are you

Forty minutes later, the car drove into the estate. Compared to Kenneth's place, this one made her feel homier.
now?"
As soon as Ophelia got out of the car, she noticed the difference in temperature; it was definitely warmer here. Kenneth took a few gifts out of the trunk, holding them with one hand while grasping Ophelia's small hand with the other. Together, they walked into the villa.
