Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1709

Anton had given up on saving himself as he broke down and cried in the vast open sea. He'd cried over his miserable life and endless misfortunes.

When his career collapsed and his relationship ended, he'd never thought about dying. But after being abandoned by a scam diving club while on a relaxing trip and being left to float helplessly in the ocean, the thought of taking his life crossed his mind.

The others tried to console him, but they were struggling too. They were drained and desperate, so none could carry him along. In the end, he was left alone in the vast empty sea.

Feeling his body temperature drop, he figured it might be better to sink into the ocean forever. If he died, he wouldn't have to deal with any of this anymore.

That was when Verus appeared to carry him back to shore and save him from unconsciousness.

When Anton woke up, his first reaction wasn't gratitude. Instead, he lashed out and questioned why Verus had saved him. The latter could've just let him die.

While Verus was yelled at in the face, he didn't get mad. Instead, he looked at Anton and asked, " You cried. Why were you crying?"

Anton, who thought he was done crying, broke down once more. He lay on the rough, sandy shore and sobbed like a child, crying over betrayal, heartbreak, and abandonment.

Then, he wailed that his life had no hope left and that he didn't even have an artist.

Verus listened for some time with a serious expression. Then, he concluded. "So, you want to die just because you don't have an artist?"

Before Anton could correct him, Verus lifted his chin. His well-defined face was full of pride as he declared, "Stop crying. I'll just be your artist."

Anton vividly remembered the way Verus stood under the dazzling sunlight with wet curls. His stunning face, coupled with clear and warm eyes, resembled an angel. An angel, who naively sold himself to Anton just so he wouldn't cry.
