Chapter 25: Chapter 25

"I've booked a room." Alexa showed the staff the suite room booking ticket.

"Ah, yes, Miss. This is an exclusive suite. This way please." The staff was shocked to see the ticket and immediately showed her the room.

By seeing the special ticket, the staff treated her special. The ticket was specially ordered by one of the share owners of the Dream Cruise travel agency. So the staff wouldn't dare offend her. Knowing that she was carrying a small child, one of the staffs also came to take over the kid. But she gently refused.

On her way, the male staff explained various things. It is explained that this cruise ship has 13 decks. All the facilities needed during a holiday can be found here, even holiday participants will feel like they are at home. He also explained that a playground was also provided for parents who brought their children.

Other advantages such as malls, sports venues, swimming pools and five-star restaurants are on every deck. Everything was explained in detail by the staff until they arrived at a high class room which was almost as spacious as an expensive apartment.

Without meaning to, she saw Ray and his girlfriend in front of her, exactly two rooms from hers.

Her expression darkened.

"Miss, can I deliver food directly?" asked the staff kindly one last time.

"No need ..."

"Mom," Fillo woke up suddenly.

"Ah, maybe you could make me some snacks and a bottle of milk," Alexa said finally.

Then the snacks that came were not what she had expected at this time.

There were many things unfamiliar to her eyes, but she had at least seen a dessert like that at Jane's wedding party. Apart from dessert, the waiter also provided children's packages, such as meat and cheese sandwiches attached to small flags depicting sheep. The flag was edible, because it was made from chocolate bars.

The waiter came out after serving a lot of 'snacks' at the table, and politely withdrew.

Inwardly she grimaced. She had never received honorable service like this in her life. Just because she agreed to have Jane prepare for this holiday, she didn't know that her best friend would give her a VIP ticket.

What a waste of money.

If she doesn't succeed in making Ray and Hailey break up with this expensive sacrifice, she will throw herself into the ocean.

She took a sip of the milk that the ship's waiter had provided, after making sure that it was the soy milk that she asked for, she gave it to Fillo.

"It's still afternoon outside, do you want to go for a walk?"

Fillo's little head nodded.

It is said that on this ship, passengers can see the sunset from the best spot at the end of the afternoon. If they want to see it, now is a good time.

This was her first time on a cruise ship, although Dream Cruise pamphlets were provided in every hotel room, but the small paper only showed a general display of each deck. That didn't explain much. It said, if you want to know the complete parts of the ship, visitors can look at the chart next to the reception desk on deck 7. This chart showed the sections of the ship per deck.

After Fillo finished his milk, Alexa took him to deck 13, bringing the remaining dessert with her. Her room was on deck 9, so they had to take the elevator to the top deck.

"Fillo, when you're upstairs you can't leave without Mom's permission, okay? Understand?" She reminded the kid again.

She didn't want the incident at the supermarket last time to happen again, which made her unable to prevent the meeting between father and son.

This holiday only lasts a week.

At least, she would take a day to pamper herself and Fillo; forget about that bastard Ray for a moment.

However, when she arrived at deck 13, it felt like the situation was not that easy.

Fate seemed to have tied the two together because without realizing it she saw Ray and Hailey also there—at a special table with an abundance of five-star luxury food, which looked as if it would serve 11 football players at one table.

Finally, she was forced to take a different route so as not to be discovered by that man.

"Fortunately, this place is busy and we are wearing hats. Other people won't easily recognize us."

Alexa muttered indifferently, as usual Fillo would respond by looking at her without saying anything, but she was used to their way of communicating.

An empty chair caught her attention and she immediately took over the place. Her position was facing the other way, so she was sure Reay wouldn't recognize her even if he looked.

"You can't eat chocolate anymore. Your teeth will hurt." She put the dessert she brought on the table. "Chocolate just for Mom."

If people didn't know, that words sounded like she was selfish towards her own child. In fact, what actually happened was because Fillo had weak health since he was little. She really regrets this because when she was pregnant, she was mentally unstable, which made her careless and fall, and ultimately had to give birth to her son prematurely.

From when Fillo was little to this big, he even had a number of food allergies. He can't consume too much sugar, he is also allergic to cow's milk, so she really has to limit everything.

In the distance she suddenly saw Hailey leaving the dining table in a hurry. Her expression didn't look good, but Alexa didn't pay much attention to it.

Just a few moments later, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

On the other side of the place, Ray stared blankly at the food on the table after Hailey suddenly left.

"Bring this food back. It's cold."

The servant standing behind him was shocked. "But—"

Ray's expression was cold, as if he couldn't be touched carelessly, but his tone was very low as he said, "I will pay for everything, don't worry."

Unintentionally at that moment, it was as if Ray was looking at Alexa when she looked back. She hurriedly pulled on her hat and turned around, hoping Ray didn't actually see her.

A few moments later, several servants set up a dining table that stretched across the middle of the area. Prepare all the food and announce that it can all be taken for free. Hearing this announcement, whether rich or poor, people would instinctively feel tempted. Several people immediately gathered at the table.

Almost all of this food was luxurious food from the grand restaurant on deck 12. Several servants pushed rotating food trolleys due to the large number of visitors.

Alexa called one servant. "Why is there suddenly free food? This is a cruise ship service?"

The servant politely explained, "No, Miss. This was specially paid for by Mr. Ray Sanders for everyone here."

The dish was neither heavy nor light, suitable to be eaten while relaxing and enjoying the sunset for a while. She laughed awkwardly, whether she should enjoy the food or not.

"Wow, he must be filthy rich. What a waste of money," she said.

Her tone sounded a bit sneering, but the servant had been well trained in maintaining their expressions, so he remained friendly in his attitude.

"There are packages for children too, Miss. I see you brought your child."

"Huh?" Alexa was dazed.

Her head turned to look around her. The balcony was very wide and there were all kinds of people from every city, but most of them were lovers. If there are families on holiday, very few bring their small children. It seemed that on the balcony, Fillo was the only one who could get the child's package.

She panicked, then glanced at Fillo, confirming that the little boy was in complete disguise.

No! Ray couldn't have found her so quickly, right?

No way. This must not happen before she succeeds with her first plan.
