“Everyone will go up to the hot air balloon in a moment and play a game of truth. Mikayla will determine the punishment according to the degree of tacit understanding between each pair.
One of the punishments is bungee jumping 80 meters from here.
If you don’t want to jump, you can accept one of Mikayla’s punishments, which she’ll decide by herself.” This was the advantage of finding the treasure map.
No wonder Mikayla was so happy!
Joyce was not afraid of heights but seeing the bottom of such a deep cliff still made her heart tremble involuntarily.
When walking up to the hot air balloon, she could feel her legs shaking.
Besides the two professional explorers like Nathaniel and Miles, most of the others had the same reaction as Joyce.
Tristan was calm and steady, without much emotion.
The cliff felt bottomless, and the lush woods felt like an abyss. The feeling of being suspended in the air felt like they were stepping on the clouds, wobbly and extremely unstable.
Fortunately, the security measures in place were very solid.
Otherwise, Joyce would not even take a step! Joyce swore to herself that she would stay away from Nathaniel in the future! The cameraman did not follow them and only relied on the participants’ cameras and drones to film.
No one knew if Mikayla was really afraid or if she was faking it, but her face was pale as she held the railing and screamed. Her screams made everyone’s fear disappear in an instant.
“Are you afraid?” Tristan’s magnetic and clear voice came from the back. Joyce paused in her footsteps and denied it. “Of course not!” Tristan snickered from behind.
Joyce wanted to retort when she heard it, but she was not in the mood. Mikayla was on the verge of crying. “Mr. Beckett, I’m so scared…” ) Tristan only glanced at her coldly and did not speak.
Nathaniel could not help but speak. “Stop howling like a banshee! Our conversation will be inaudible if you keep yelling like that. Do you wanna dub all our voices?” Mikayla’s cries stopped abruptly.
Aside from Fabian, everyone else was rich and important people they could not afford to invite. Mikayla’s eyes were still welled up with tears as she said aggrievedly, “I’m just too scared…”
“If you really can’t stand it, just get the director to pick you up.” Miles suggested, feeling that this was most thoughtful for Mikayla, Mikayla sobbed and said, “It’s okay… I’ll just hold on…”
Fabian did not say anything and only looked out into the distance, The director’s voice came from the speakers in the hot air balloon.
“Mikayla, you can start now!” Mikayla took a deep breath, stood up, and took out the prepared placards. She looked at Tristan and Joyce.
“The first one is for Joyce. If you don’t want to answer, you can choose to bungee jump.” This was an obviously prepared question. Joyce raised her eyebrows. “Sure.”
Mikayla asked, “If you have to choose one of the four men present to be your boyfriend, who do you choose?” The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
The cold wind scraped their faces. “This is all arranged by the director… I didn’t come up with the questions…” > Mikayla looked at Joyce’s glum face and quickly defended herself.
Joyce chuckled and resumed her usual expression “I choose Fabian, of course.” She then looked at Fabian, who was next to her, and raised an eyebrow. Fabian was youthful, innocent, and simple, so he was the best candidate to be her boyfriend.
Tristan’s face darkened in an instant. His gaze gradually became cold and gloomy. Mikayla looked a little smug as she continued to ask, “What about your second choice?” “Miles.” Joyce glanced at the dumbfounded Miles and smiled gently. She quickly explained, “It’s just a what-if situation…”
Miles chuckled perfunctorily and did not take it to heart. The coldness in Tristan’s gaze became even more intense. His eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look at him directly.
The corners of Nathaniel’s lips twitched incredulously. “You chose Kavanagh over me?!” ‘Is my status in Joyce’s heart slipping that fast?’ Nathaniel thought. Joyce smiled at him.
“If she continues to ask, you’ll be next.” Nathaniel looked at Tristan meaningfully. ‘I’ m afraid Uncle Tristan doesn’t stand a chance, huh? He’s not even the third option…’
Mikayla’s face stiffened because Joyce had already said the third answer in advance. She looked at Tristan’s face, which had already turned so ugly and gloomy.
The chill in his eyes was so oppressive as he glared intently at Joyce, seemingly struggling to restrain his emotions. Joyce smiled.
“I don’t need to jump, right?” Mikayla immediately regained her composure. “No need.
The next question is for Mr. Beckett.” She looked at Tristan with some excitement.
“If you were to choose one of the two ladies present to be your girlfriend…” A smug triumphant light seemed to shine in Mikayla’s eyes.
After experiencing such an insult from Joyce, how could any normal man still choose her? There were only two women present, Joyce and Mikayla! As long as Mikayla and Tristan’s names appeared together, then she would not have come to this variety show in vain.
Before Mikayla could finish her sentence, Tristan looked gloomy as he said in a cold and restrained voice. “I choose Joyce.” After that, Tristan suddenly stepped forward to pull Joyce in his arms before anyone could react. He then leaned back… The crowd was in shock.
“Ah!!” Joyce could not help but scream as the wind whistled in her ears. Her body felt weightless as she plunged uncontrollably head-first down the cliff.
The man wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. Suddenly, her lips were covered with his warm and soft lips. She could taste a faint minty flavor, which soothed all her fears.
Her cries came to an abrupt end as all her fear and panic scattered in the wind. The man’s cold dominance and aggression were undisguised as he invaded every corner of her mouth.
Joyce gripped onto Tristan’s clothes tightly because she forgot that she was also strapped to the safety harness. She just clung onto him like he was the only life raft available.
She closed her eyes tightly and did not react until the man bit her lower lip in punishment.
The stinging sensation woke Joyce up.
Joyce suddenly opened her eyes and saw everything around her rapidly fading away. All she had was the rope on her waist and the man’s arm around her.
Her whole body felt very tense. The man’s face was so perfect, deep, and exquisite like a sculpture. At this time, her heart skipped a beat when she looked at Tristan’s inky eyes.
The cold wind pelted her face. When she almost reached the bottom of the cliff, the rope on her waist tightened abruptly.
The moment she bounced up felt so painful like her body was about to break in half. However, the man with her did not seem to feel anything.
The depths of his eyes were bottomless like the treacherous sea. The surface was calm, but a light breeze could set off huge waves in his eyes. Joyce’s face was pale as she bit her lower lip.
Her eyes were filled with panic.
She was not afraid of heights, but that did not mean she enjoyed falling from a 100- meter cliff.
Every second of the fall made her feel that much closer to death, and every nerve in her body was tense! ‘This jerk! How dare he?!’ After rising less than a dozen meters, the rope on her body was pulled away and they began to fall again.
Tristan saw the fear in her eyes and pulled her head in his chest gently as he could not bear to see her like this. He leaned close to her ear.
The wind was silent around him, and his voice was incredibly gentle. 1 “You will always be my first choice.”
OMG. I am so loving Tristan
