At this moment, Stacey has already more or less recovered from the incident earlier. Her eyes were no longer sore and the effects of the Tear Grass had already died down.
"What are you cooking?" She asked as she hugged Roland behind the back.
"Just a simple seared steak," Roland replied while still focusing on the thing that he was cooking.
"It smells delicious," Stacey stated with an excited tone.
"Of course," Roland smiled with great confidence.
His cooking has already reached Level 1. Gordon was a top chef in a G-Grade City and even he was impressed by Roland's cooking.
Roland turned around to kiss Stacey on the forehead and then at her lips, "Are you alright now?"
Stacey nodded her head and told Roland that she was already alright.
"Anyways, since that Tear Grass is there then does that mean your plan for that Island will be canceled?" She asked.
"You mean, 'our' plan?" Roland smiled as she corrected her.
"Anyways, it's not canceled, just postponed." He added.
Stacey smiled, "How? Doesn't the existence of Tear Grass basically mean that the whole island is uninhabitable?"
"Yes, but I already have the solution to this problem so don't worry about it." Roland said as he hugged her on the waist tightly.
Hearing that, Stacey's eyes immediately lit-up. She was already confident and would basically believe everything that Roland says, and him saying that he already has a solution to this major problem that even the government was helpless of, could only mean that Roland's means were more formidable than the government.
His aura of mysteriousness just increased in Stacey's eyes, making her look at him as if he was a rare treasure that she doesn't want to let go no matter what.
She tiptoed and kissed Roland's lips deeply.
At the next moment, Stacey's hands were already before Roland's crotch, trying to squeeze it out of the dragon cave.
Her intentions and objectives were very clear, Roland also did not disappoint her, the two of them proceeded to do some quick exercise before they ate the seared steak that Roland had cooked.
After eating two kinds of 'lunch', Roland steered the yacht a hundred meters away from the island as he and Stacey decided to take a swim.
The whole purpose of this trip was for the two of them to solo each other and to relax themselves. The first goal and purpose were basically more or less completed, the second one will also be satisfied both of them gradually.
And just like that, with the two of them enjoying each other's company, four days passed in the blink of an eye.
Unknowingly, it was already the 31st day of the last month of 2030.
Tomorrow marks a new year and new beginning for everyone, including Roland.
The past will be forgotten as new memories will be etched as the new year progresses forward.
At this moment, Roland and Stacey were standing at the wide bow of Divine Destiny.
Far ahead of them was the well-lit and glamouring city lights of Brine City.
Brine City's lights were lit up in beautiful neon lights as everyone began their countdown for the new year to arrive.
Each holding a glass of wine, with Roland hugging Stacey from behind, a romantic scene unfolds around them.
Staring far ahead of them, Stacey and Roland also waited for the 31st day to end.
Checking the time, Roland and Stacey realized that there was only a minute remaining till the clock turned 00:00.
"Can we truly view the fireworks here?" Stacey asked with a bit of concern in her voice.
Sometime ago, Martin informed Roland through text that he would held a fireworks display in Brine Dock Site to celebrate the new year with his workers.
He invited Roland and Stacey to look at it and gave their opinion about the display since this was the first time that he would be doing such an event.
Roland and Stacey did not reject his invitation so they decided to return to Brine Dock Site to see the magnificent fireworks display that Martin was trying to show off to them.
Of course, they did not dock on the site for now as Roland stated that it would be better to look at the fireworks display from afar since one would be able to get the full view of them from afar.
Stacey also thought so, so they decided to drop the anchor on the current spot not far away from Brine Dock Site.
"It should be. If the location provided by Martin is accurate, that is." Roland said as his hand held Stacey's smooth belly.
Currently, the two of them were dressed formally.
Stacey with a gorgeous yellow dress with her belly a little exposed, and Roland with a dark blue suit.
Although no one could see their outfit right now, it was the thought that matters so none of the two was against the idea.
Like what has been happening these past few days, Stacey also kept on taking pictures after pictures of them being together.
"Hey, say cheese," she said as she once again pressed the camera's capture button.
Roland has already lost count at how many times Stacey had taken a picture of them together so he was already used to it.
Just two weeks ago, Roland was still camera shy when Stacey took their first picture together. Now, however, Roland would even smile confidently while looking at the camera directly.
His transformation in both physical and mentality during these past weeks was nothing but astronomical.
He has already changed a lot and has already transformed from the pathetic guy he once was.
10!
With his increased hearing, Roland suddenly began to hear the countdown of people on the Brine Dock Site.
"It's starting," he stated to inform Stacey.
Stacey smiled and nodded her head before she changed the mode of the camera from 'photo' to 'video'.
She turned the camera to the two of them as the countdown for the new year became louder and louder in Roland's ears.
3!
2!
1!
Happy New Year!
Following the loud shout, multiple lights immediately shot out to the air.
A second later, Roland and Stacey heard the sound of an explosion from afar.
At the same time, a sweet smile appeared on Stacey's face as she looked at the camera and then to Roland.
"Happy new year, my love!" Without waiting for him to respond, Stacey has already tiptoed to kiss Roland passionately.
The Ay-Phone 18's camera was in full working mode as it captured the moment of the two of them.
In their background was the glamorous scene of fireworks lighting up and exploding one after the other.
Roland did not shy away from Stacey's passionate show of affection. Both of them kissed each other deeply, and it was only ten minutes later that the two of them separated with rosy cheeks.
The year ended with them kissing each other, and another year also started with them kissing each other.
At the same moment they stopped their passionate kiss, the fireworks display also began to die down.
Martin had done his best to prepare the ten minute fireworks display to let Roland and Stacey have some memorable experience in Brine City.
What he did not expect was that his work was only made into a background by the two's deep kisses.
If he learned of this, it was a wonder what kind of reaction he would have.
However, one thing was for sure, Roland and Stacey's time in Brine City was something that they would not be able to forget in the years to come.
In the future, Roland and Stacey would recall their unforgettable time in Brine City.
At that time, both of them would also think of Martin as the hospitable fat-host tycoon of Brine City.
