A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 383

Jack couldn't help how his heart somersaulted in his chest after hearing Phoebe's suggestion. It was a proposal that no man would turn down—to go on a trip with two generational beauties such as Phoebe and Feena.

Jack could already picture it—the wonderful image of having both ladies in his arms during the trip. Jack nearly started drooling at the delightful picture.

Even though butterflies were stirring up a storm in his gut, Jack reigned in his excitement and said, "Feena might not agree to the trip. She came to Euphoria for work after all."

Phoebe nodded in agreement. "She's usually swamped with work. But no matter how busy she may be, if she ran into her old classmates such as ourselves, I'm sure she would agree."

"That's good. I was already planning to go on a trip myself to see the sights and charms of this place," Jack said with a nod.

Even if they went on this trip as just friends, it would still be an unforgettable experience for Jack.

After finishing their meal, Phoebe didn't leave immediately. Instead, she strolled along the lakeside with Jack, enjoying each other's silent but comfortable company.

"What time is it?" Jack asked. "If you don't have other plans, why don't we hang out somewhere nearby?"

Truthfully, Jack wasn't ready to say goodbye to Phoebe. When he was with her, even the silence they shared was a precious experience.

Phoebe's smile was like the morning sun in spring, warm and bright. She lifted her wrist to check the time on her watch. "It's past 2:00 am. I'm free tomorrow afternoon so I can walk with you for a while longer."

Phoebe captured Jack's undivided attention when she lifted her arm and displayed her wrist. Wrapped around it was a watch that Jack was intimately familiar with. It was the same one that Jack had gifted to Phoebe when he attended her birthday party. Jack had spent all of his money on that watch. It didn't even cost more than 100 dollars.

However, she quickly regained her composure and explained, "This watch… I accidentally broke the watch I was wearing before. Coincidentally, this watch you gave me is waterproof, so I'm just wearing it for the time being. I didn't expect it to suit me so well."

Disappointment and relief came together in a storm of emotions in Jack's heart after hearing her explanation. He thought Phoebe had a special reason for wearing the watch, but it turned out to be just a coincidence. Even so, Jack felt appreciative that he got to see her wearing the watch he had gifted to her.

He managed to squeeze a small smile onto his face. "As long as you like it. I worried that it wouldn't be to your liking."

Although Jack was incredibly intelligent, he wasn't the best at reading between the lines. He didn't notice that Phoebe's answer was packed with layers of unspoken feelings.

Phoebe only smiled gently. She said nothing else. The two of them walked shoulder-to-shoulder along the street. None of them struck up a conversation. What they were thinking in their hearts was a mystery.
