Chapter 464 - CHANCES: PART III

Elizabeth was in her room changing into her swimsuit. At the same time, her phone was dialing as she tried to call someone. 

"He-hello?"

The voice of a half asleep person finally answered the call. 

"Jackie, did I wake you up." 

"Hmm, it's fine. Is something wrong?" 

"Jackie, by chance did I meet someone named Cris?" 

"Cris, Cris who?" 

"Ah-" Elizabeth realizes that she does not know the man's last name. "I don't know his last name." 

"Well, when we were in university we had. Also, during our travels as well." 

Jackie started mentioning different people and describing them. However, none of them fit the man she was with right now. 

"No, none of them sounded like him."

"Him? Wait, babes where are you?" 

"I'm just in my private beach house. I just had a strange thought that maybe the guy in my dream's name was not Yun Shen but maybe Cris." 

"Hmm, anything else you can tell me about him. Maybe I can help. My fiance's best friend is a CIA."

"Well, I don't know much. But his name is Cris. He has relatives here in China and I'm sure he's part of the top family."

"Oh, that won't be hard then. Since you were away, I've been attending quite a lot of social gathering and I'm sure I'll find out who he is. Just give me some time."

"Thanks, Jackie, sorry to wake you up again." 

"It's not a problem at all. Take care babes." Jackie ended the call with a yawn as Elizabeth sat in her bed to think about things. 

"It won't be long then…"

Jackie is a party person and one of the most desired ladies in high society. Plus, she engaged with someone who not only can boost their reputation, but is closely related to their business as well. 

Outside…

Everyone was busy arranging everything. They brought out tables, beach chairs and even built a canopy with a beach bed. 

Cris watched in amazement how pampered the girl is. 'This pampering surely is the reason why she ran away. They are just too much.'

It annoyed the man how much they treated the girl like a child. But, in the end, she is the only child of one of the richest families in the world. He should not judge them when he too was in the girl's position before. 

"It seems everything is ready." 

Finally, the moment of truth. 

Cris already expected the girl would be wearing her beachwear. In which he eagerly anticipated to see. 

Elizabeth went over to the canopy and noticed the sudden change in Cris expression and asked. "Is something wrong?" 

"Nothing." Cris shook his head and acted as if nothing indeed happened. 

However, the girl already noticed that something was wrong. Even if the man was able to keep a straight expression, his body language was unable to hide his true feelings. After the man saw her, his shoulder suddenly dropped which could mean he must be disappointed by something. This made the girl curious as to what could be so upsetting. 

Elizabeth checked herself unwittingly and wondered if her body had gained some weight or does she look skinny making her revolting to look at. But the more she checks herself out, she notices no flaws at all. In which she concludes; the man must indeed be searching for the girl then that he is so in love with her that even she can make him drop. 

That is correct. 

If the man was indeed truly a man and not a faithful one. He would not say just nothing. He would have said; 

Man, you look beautiful.

Wow!

Just beautiful.

Normal men comment when they see an attractive girl and Elizabeth is one. 

Cris was indeed impressed by the girl's flawless body, perfect skin tone and well shaped body. Those features of the girl did not disappoint him at all. However, seeing the girl so flawless just proves she was not the girl he was looking for. 

If Elizabeth was the girl he was looking for, he would expect her to have at least some marking. He last saw in his dream before he left that the girl was in danger. Since the dream showed such a horrible scene, he thought surely she would have not come out of such a situation without any scar or markings. 

'So, it's not you then.' Cris said to himself disappointedly with a bitter and regrettable smile. He had high hopes, but of course the chance that the girl in his dream and the girl in front of him could be the same was slim. 

Just because both of them happened to have disappeared all of the sudden and reappeared does not mean they are one. 

"I'll be going for a swim then." Elizabeth said as she felt like the situation between her and Cris suddenly turned awkward for no reason.

The man started being quiet and distant towards her as if she did something to him when she hasn't. 

"I wonder what happened to him." She wondered as she took a deep breath before diving into the sea. 

Cris watches as the girl takes a deep in the sea. He couldn't too look hopelessly at her. 'Seems like I'll be heading home soon then.'

Since his mission to find out about the girl has already been solved. There was no reason for him to stay and instead continue his search in the city. He has now shown no interest towards the girl and only thinks of her as a pitiful person for being cagey despite how beautiful she would be if she could fly. 

Elizabeth enjoyed her time by the sea, she was finally able to calm herself and relax. She been concern about the man's identity, but seeing his reaction earlier, it made her conclude that the man will indeed not bring her any harm. But, it made her curious what the girl looked like for him to be so inlove with her that he won't even glance at her. 

"She must really be beautiful." She wonder whilst floating by the sea. As she stared at the bright sun, her eyes squink as she could not look at it. "She must be like the sun to him them. So bright that even I can't look at her."
