BookToReadChapter 135
Joshua paused, frowning slightly as he glanced at her, before his gaze settled on Shawn standing behind Lillian.
With a playful tone, he teased, "Hey Shawn, where's your gentlemanly charm today?"
Lillian froze, disbelief written all over her face as she stared at Joshua. Shawn's expression darkened a bit as he
locked eyes with Allison's calm gaze.
Maybe Allison hadn't really moved on and was just pretending. If he helped another girl cross the river right in
front of Allison, would she get jealous? With that thought, Shawn reached out to steady Lillian, his voice gentle.
"Don't worry, Lillian, I've got you."
Lillian looked down, whispering through clenched teeth so only Shawn could hear, "What are you doing? | wanted
Joshua to help me."
Shawn replied, "And if he doesn't want to help, are you planning to stand in the middle of the river forever?"
"Well, | don't need your help."
"You said it," Shawn shot back, suddenly letting go of her hand.

"Ah..." Lillian yelped, nearly losing her balance and almost falling into the river. Instinctively, she clung tightly to
Shawn's hand, "Okay, just helpacross first."
Shawn chuckled, rolling his eyes to himself.
Once Joshua made sure Lillian was alright, he decided not to worry and continued on his way. The group walked
on, stopping every now and then, until evening set in.
The sun dipped low, painting the sky with vivid colors as birds made their way back to their nests. The horizon
was a masterpiece of the setting sun.
Brian was the first to stop at a spot with a great view of the sunset, capturing the moment with his camera.
Others followed suit, taking pictures of the breathtaking scene.
Sabrina, panting as she pushed forward with her walking stick, was caught candidly by Brian's camera.
Grinning mischievously, Brian said, "A new min 4K quality!"
Sabrina gritted her teeth. "Brian, delete it!"
"No way, this is too good to pass up. I'm keeping it for my collection."
Sabrina plopped down on a large rock, turning her gaze to the glorious sunset. "I'm too tired to argue. I'll deal
with you later."
Allison and Joshua reached the spot, the evening sun casting a warm orange glow over them, softening Joshua's
sharp features.
"What a perfect pair," Brian commented, snapping a photo of the couple bathed in the sunset's glow.
In the photo, Allison squinted slightly at the sunset, while Joshua stood beside her, his gaze focused and full of
adoration.
Brian showed the photo to Joshua "Look at your eyes, man. How does that poem go? On the bridge you look at
the view, that viewer on the tower looks at you,"
George chuckled, "Oh, quoting poetry now?"
Brian shot him a look. "Even someone like me, who preferred fun over books, knows that line. Don't
underestimate me."

Sabrina laughed, "People with little knowledge love to show off."
"Tsk," Brian retorted, "What are you talking about? Can't you show your brother srespect in public?"
Joshua, unfazed, smiled with amusement. "You've got a knack for photography. That's a great shot. Send it to me
later."
Brian held up two fingers. "This much."
Sabrina looked at him with mock disdain. "Are you really charging for photos now? You look like such a
businessman. It's embarrassing. Don't say you're my brother from now on."
Brian snapped back, "You hush. What do you know, little brat?"
Joshua wasn't bothered, his eyes sparkling with humor. "Two hundred thousand dollars?"
Brian shook his head. "This is a
once-in-a-lifetshot of you and Allie. You think it's worth just two hundred thousand? No way, two million! You
could project on the big screen at your wedding. Look at it the ambiance, the lighting-it's perfect!"
