Chapter 154
Aveline didn’t know what he was up to, so she picked up the small lamp. The faint light emitted by the lamp swayed with Owen’s footsteps, but it illuminated her surroundings.
She was led to the kitchen, where Owen tied on an apron and quickly prepared the ingredients, mixing rice with beaten eggs, peas, and bacon for fried rice.
The man was tall and slender, and under the illumination of only a small lamp, he effortlessly chopped vegetables and flipped the pan.
The flames leaped up, licking the bottom of the pan, and the fire danced on his metallic mask. Aveline thought of Alexander from the past.
Even in the middle of the night, whenever she was hungry, he would get up and cook a bowl of noodles or fried rice for her.
Soon, the fragrant fried rice was placed in front of her, and Owen even arranged it nicely on a plate.
“Go ahead, no matter how long you have left to live, I hope it’s longer than you can imagine.”
With tears in her eyes, Aveline lowered her head and ate the fried rice bite by bite.
The caring of a stranger was like a blue whale, opening its huge mouth and swallowing her, temporarily making her forget the unfortunate betrayal.
Owen’s well–defined fingers gently rubbed her head. “Even if there’s only one day left, live it well.”
“……Mm.”
The following days were simple and happy. Aveline accepted Owen’s mission and gathered the children on the island, teaching them how to read.
Jamie would playfully pull the cat’s tail on the side, and when she finished class, he would follow her like a little tail, opening his arms happily and saying, “Mommy, hug.”
At first, Aveline would correct him and tell him to call her Auntie, but after a while, she got used to it.
“Sweetie, let Auntie take a look. Did you fall again? Look at your little face.”
Aveline gently wiped his face, and Jamie giggled and even kissed her face.

“Miss, can you tell me why airplanes can fly in the sky?”
“Miss, can people really dive into the sea? Won’t they suffocate?”
“Miss Anna…”
The children on the island were all very friendly towards her. Aveline had already planned that they had been living on this island for many years, like illegal residents.
The first step she needed to take was to submit documents to apply to purchase this small island, to prevent others from destroying their original way of life under the pretext of development.
The second step was to authenticate the identity of everyone on the island.
The third step was to develop the island, providing security for the residents, at least to be in line with modern society, with water and electricity, and to transport the children to the mainland for school.
Having found a purpose in life, she felt that living was not so difficult.
As the New Year approached, Owen specially went out to buy things.
Jack and Tyler had been waiting eagerly by the shore, watching him return with a boat full of goods. Jack and Tyler jumped for joy and happily carried everything home.
Besides some supplies, there were even fruits, snacks, and even diapers and milk powder.
Aveline was a little surprised. “Why did you buy these?”
“So you don’t have to change diapers at night.” Owen handed her a package. “These are for you.”
Aveline glanced at it and blushed. It was a set of intimate clothing, and inside, there was also a set of facial skincare products and hand cream.
This man, though silent, was more attentive than anyone else. He even deliberately asked her about the medicine she usually took before leaving.
“Take a look, are these the ones?”
“Yes, thank you.”
Owen turned around awkwardly. “Thank you for what? I’m just giving you some interest in advance.”
