Chapter 570 - Dock

Janessa was awakened by the nightmare. She turned over and sat up. Just as she was about to drink some water, she saw Armando sitting on the opposite bed with his eyes open. Seeing that she had woken up, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The relationship between them was not very good after they came back from the trip. Janessa had never intended to talk to him after they came back. However, something happened to Vincent and Emily. They were busy rushing back and forth from the hospital to the police station. It was inevitable that they needed to talk, but neither of them mentioned anything about the trip.

Janessa did not mention it because she wanted to maintain the relationship with Armando, which meant to be his aunt. Armando did not mention it because he knew her answer.

For such a long time, Janessa was trying to avoid staying with him in the same room. She was worried about encountering the same thing last time. Armando had proved to her little by little from all sides that he was not a child. He grew up and was an adult. He was now mature physically and psychologically.

He was meticulous and considerate in taking care of people. Janessa had been with him for many years and had long been used to handing over everything to him. She only needed to focus on enjoying. Now that when she looked back, the child had long been independent. His shoulders were wide and his arms were strong. That night, she bit until her teeth hurt. But she only left a bloody mark on his arm.

His silence was very annoying. Janessa gave him a slap, but she could not turn around and leave like she did when she had broken up with Warren. Armando was her relative. No matter how long she wandered outside, she would see him when she came back.

But who would sleep with their relatives?

She forced herself not to think about those things because she had no idea what to do.

Right now, she was able to sleep because she knew that he would be here and watch her.

Janessa suddenly felt that she was too selfish. She selfishly occupied him and all sorts of things he had given her. She regarded this as kinship, but Armando did not think so.

She should stay away from him, but she couldn't do it. Also, she couldn't accept him. In this dilemma, they even did that kind of thing.

This made her feel a headache.

"You had a nightmare?" Armando walked over. He took a bottle of water, opened it, and handed it to her.

Without her instructions, he did not dare to get too close to her for the time being, nor did he dare to sit on her bed.

"Yes."

Janessa drank some water, picked up the pillow, and placed it on her back. She said to him, "You sleep. I'll play with my phone for a while."

Armando looked at his phone. It had only been four hours, and he asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Janessa shook her head.

Armando thought about it and lay down on the pillow, but his gaze was still focusing on Janessa.

Janessa turned on the phone and pretended not to see it.

The photos of Sissy on Weibo were still trending. It had been several months and it was still hot.

Janessa clicked in and took a look. Many people in the comments had personally gone to that place. They said that they had walked the path that their male god had once walked on. Some people planned to gather more money to build a bridge for the children over there to go to school. Some people took pictures of the children there. The comments section was filled with pictures.

There were also children holding up a whiteboard with the words "Uncle! We love you!" on it.

Janessa clicked into the photos taken by Sissy and saw the photo that she posted later. The man was sitting on a stool, and the light of the fire made half of his face red. He looked very focused and gentle at that moment.

She read the following words over and over again.

"He is making supper for his lover."

She put down the phone and looked at the opposite bed. Armando was facing her with his eyes closed. His hair was longer. His facial features were not outstanding among others, but he had his own characteristics. He looked honest but stubborn. When he listened to people talk, his eyes were focused and eager. He was silent and did not speak a lot, but he was very soft-hearted.

When Janessa came back this time, she went to his shop once. Ever since Sissy had posted that, his shop became popular. Many guests came because of his reputation. The message wall was filled with photos and messages.

She stroked the photos of different styles and saw them shining in the warm water. She felt that her heart was gently touched by a hand.

No one had ever been so serious about every word she said. Even Warren had never done this.

Janessa was moved, but whenever she thought of the name "Armando", she would think of the Mosby family, Benson, her brother and sister-in-law. She would think of their faces.

Armando was her nephew.

This was a fact that could never be changed in this lifetime.

...

The next morning, the train finally arrived at the station. After they met up, Kamron took them to the dock.

It was only two o'clock in the morning. There were many people at the dock. Some of them were going down to the sea and some were bringing back the goods from the sea. The seafood at the dock had been cleaned up and prepared. A burst of fishy smell was strong. Emily got out of the train and felt a little dizzy. When she smelled this, she went to find a trash can and vomit.

Janessa almost couldn't stand it. Fortunately, Armando took the oranges from his bag, peeled them, and gave the peels to a few women. Emma was fine, but Jaquan and Ferne couldn't stand it. They took the orange peels and sniffed them. Then, they held their breath and walked forward. Later, they lowered their heads and sniffed orange peels. Then, they walked forward again. They had been doing this all the way.

After a long time, Kamron, who was leading the way, stopped in front of a ship. This ship was pitch black. If it was night, no one would be able to tell that it was a ship. Other than the white sail, there were almost no other colors. Moreover, the other ships all had code names on them or their manufacturing company. Only this ship didn't have anything on it, and there seemed to be no one on the ship. It was quiet.

Kamron turned around and reminded them, "Remember. In order to ensure safety, everyone put on the wig after boarding the ship."

They nodded.

Only then did Kamron step forward. He had just put down his walking stick not long ago, and he was still walking unsteadily. Bodyguard Tom helped him up the ladder. The others boarded the ship one by one.

"The ship will sail at five o'clock. We will arrive at our destination at ten o'clock. You have five hours to rest. Also, remember to wear the wig."

"Where's the captain?" Janessa asked. As she looked at the cabin, she wanted to go to the driver's seat to take a look. There was no one on the deck anyway. She didn't see any signs of the crew.

"The captain and the crew will only come at 4:30." Kamron looked at his watch and said, "There is no food on the ship, but only raw seafood."

"Then what do we have for breakfast?" Ferne asked.

"There's a restaurant twenty minutes away from here. We can order some dishes there." Kamron said, "However, the dishes taste very bad."

Tom pulled open his suitcase and took out a few canned food and bread that he had prepared beforehand. He gave them to a few women and said, "I've brought these."

"Did I tell you to take them out?" Kamron glared at him.

"But we still have to take them out for breakfast later. I've saved some for you." Tom said as he took out another canned food and bread and handed it to Kamron.

Kamron was left speechless.

"Why didn't you tell us in advance?" Ferne wanted to punch Kamron in the face, "Do you want us to starve?"

Kamron was speechless. "When we got off the train, didn't I say that if you want to eat, hurry up and eat something. And there was nothing to eat over there. Why don't you listen to me?"

Armando, who was silent at the side, suddenly opened his backpack. It was filled with snacks, peanuts, melon seeds, and dried peas, as well as apples and bananas.

Kamron was shocked. "Do you think you're here for a vacation?"

"No, I'm just used to it," Armando shook his head.

When Janessa heard this, she felt quite upset.

Every time Armando came out with her, he would always bring a lot of things. She never thought about how tired it was to bring those things. She only knew whatever she wanted, he could always get it for her like magic.

However, it turned out that he had only filled his bag with all the things she liked and waited for her to speak.
