Chapter 571
Chapter 571:
“Where are you going?” Robert asked at once.
“Someone asked me out,” Fernanda nonchalantly replied as she slipped on her shoes.
Robert paused for a moment, then his face lit up with a knowing smile. He turned to the relatives gathered in the living room and chuckled loudly. “Ha-ha! It must be Bobby! Ah, he truly cares for Fernanda!” Then he turned back to Fernanda and said with a wide grin, “Go ahead. Have fun!”
Fernanda stifled a smirk. She hadn’t expected the excuse to work so well. If she’d known it would be this effective, she would’ve used it to escape the house much earlier.
As she stepped out of the Dawn Villas’ gate, her eyes landed on the sleek black car parked by the roadside.
As she neared, the door opened from the inside. Cristian was leaning back in his seat, his fingers casually tapping his phone. The screen still displayed his recent chat with her.
“Why did you ask me out?” Fernanda asked as she settled into the passenger seat.
Cristian smiled and arched an eyebrow. “I missed you and wanted to see you.”
Fernanda blinked. “We just saw each other last night.”
“Exactly. It’s been hours since then, so of course I miss you.”
His reasoning, though cheeky, seemed oddly convincing to her. Cristian started the car without asking for her opinion on where they should go to have fun. Fernanda realized he had something planned.
“Where are we going?” she curiously asked.
Cristian shot her a cryptic smile. “You’ll find out soon.”
Fernanda assumed he was taking her somewhere casual, like a coffee shop or a quiet dinner. To her surprise, the car pulled into the airport. After they stepped out of the car, Cristian took Fernanda gently by the wrist and led her into the bustling terminal.
Fernanda blinked, her surprise evident. “Are you taking me on a trip?”

Cristian chuckled softly. “Something like that. Are you afraid I might do something harmful to you?”
“Of course not. You care for me,” Fernanda blurted out.
As soon as she said these words, her cheeks flushed. It felt too bold.
Cristian stopped in his tracks, caught off guard. For a moment, he just looked at her, his dark eyes filled with amusement and curiosity.
Then, he smiled, slipped an arm casually around her shoulders, and whispered into her ear, “After all the effort I’ve put into winning you over, of course I care for you deeply.”
Cristian straightened and continued leading her forward. To her surprise, he didn’t stop at a ticket counter or a gate. Instead, he guided her through a discreet VIP passageway. Moments later, they stepped onto the tarmac, where a sleek private jet awaited.
Once aboard, Cristian guided her to a seat and fastened her seatbelt. Ten minutes later, the plane took off. Fernanda gazed out of the window.
