NOVPUBChapter 1374: 647 Across the Ocean_2 Chapter 1374: 647 Across the Ocean_2 The design of this cargo ship fully imitates that of a passenger ship, with each level using steel bulkheads, it has strong water tightness, and it can withstand greater loads and water pressure than a regular cargo ship.
Even in stormy seas, the ship’s ability to endure bending and torsional stress is better than that of passenger ships.
It can be said that this cargo ship represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship in Rinto Group Shipping.
Aubree Groove’s room is at the deepest part of the first level, it’s a suite and very spacious, with a magnificent view of the bright blue ocean from the rear window.
Aubree stared silently at the horizon for a while when a knock sounded from outside the door.
“Come in.”
Leandro Alvarez walked in, carrying a food box in his hand.
“Mistress, I’ve brought your lunch.
...
Master McKay mentioned that there are foods you avoid.
I took the initiative to choose dishes for you, see if you like them.”
“Thank you.”
Aubree gestured at the opposite side: “Please, sit.”
Leandro cautiously sat down.
What Mistress did not know was that Master McKay, fearing her dissatisfaction with outside food, had deliberately arranged for a chef from the Rintos to board the ship.
Aubree opened the food box; it contained four dishes—stir-fried mushrooms with choy sum, braised eggplant, plain enoki mushrooms, almond tofu, and a sweet clear soup with snow fungus.
“In the future, you don’t have to make separate meals for me.
I’ll have the same as you, just pick some vegetarian dishes.”
“But….”
Aubree glanced at him and Leandro immediately respectfully replied, “Yes, Mistress, I understand.”
Then, Aubree had her meal slowly.
She normally does not talk while eating, and Leandro dared not speak either.
Aubree wiped her mouth, stood up with the food box.
Leandro immediately offered to take it, but Aubree casually said, “I am not a pampered rich mistress.”
Leandro quickly withdrew his hand, watching in astonishment as Aubree walked into the bathroom, the sound of running water echoing from within.
Leandro thought to himself, this mistress really is different from your average rich young mistress.
She possesses an indescribable aura.
Although her demeanor typically seems distant, it leaves one with a sense of deep comfort, making one want to remain by her side indefinitely.
It’s a kind of tranquility that brings peace to the soul.
It’s as if, in the midst of this vast sea, his heart has found a place to call home, no longer feeling lost or aimless.
Soon, Aubree came out with the cleaned food box and placed it on a table nearby.
She said to Leandro, “Take a seat. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Let’s discuss our travel route.”
Leandro instantly put on a serious face, sat down, and pulled out a highly detailed marine map.
It identifies everything clearly, from large islands to small reefs.
“How long until we reach Beverley Island?”
After some thought, Leandro replied, “Given our current course, it should take us about three days.
For this journey, we specifically chose a time with good weather, so there should be no unexpected incidents.
We should arrive at Beverley Island at the scheduled time.”
Aubree nodded, her finger hovering over a spot near Triangle Bay on Beverley Island, “Take note of this place.”
Leandro’s face turned serious, “Miss, are you worrying about the rampant piracy in this area?
They love to plunder merchant ships, and with our conspicuous departure, I fear we can hardly avoid them.”
The beautiful young lady seated before him curled her lips into a slight smile.
A ray of sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating her and causing her to shine brilliantly.
For a moment, Leandro was rendered speechless.
“If they come, then let them.” Her voice was light, but it radiated an inexpressible courage.
As Leandro left, Aubree said to him, “Bring him over.”
Leandro stiffened slightly, then nodded and left.
Shortly after, a lanky young man stood at the entrance of the room.
At that moment, Aubree was seated on the edge of the bed, sipping tea, with a magazine before her.
The young man paused, croaking hoarsely, “Aubree.”
Aubree turned her head, smiling, “Long time no see.”
Yes, it’s been a long time.
The man gave a bitter smile and walked in.
“I thought you’d forgotten me!” He was afraid that this sentence would cause a misunderstanding, but it seemed as if she didn’t care at all.
She gestured to the other side of the room: “Take a seat.”
She poured a cup of clear tea in front of him.
“I promised to help you find your mother, and I won’t break that promise.”
It appears that he had simply overthought things.
The man exhaled lightly, taking a seat opposite Aubree.
“I did quite a bit of investigation earlier.
The seas down south are not peaceful; pirates are rampant.
Our journey…”
“The cargo ship that the Rintos lost has something to do with these pirates.
If they don’t look for me, I’d be looking for them.” Aubree spoke lightly.
