Chapter 1930: Sunrise at Sea

The next day.

Joyce woke up early because she had slept early the night before.

It was still dark, and a hazy gray color enveloped the entire tent. Only the light from the nearby camper van faintly illuminated the surroundings.

When she got up, Joyce noticed that Alisha was sleeping beside her.

With the faint light, she could see her surroundings clearly. Luther and Anderson were sleeping on another bed.

Anderson was sleeping soundly in Luther's embrace.

Fully awake, Joyce got out of bed and covered Alisha with her blanket. Then she went to Anderson's side and saw that his legs were exposed, so she covered him as well.

At that moment, Luther, who was usually easily awakened, noticed the movement. He opened his eyes and saw Joyce getting up, so he quickly followed suit and grabbed two jackets. Joyce walked out of the tent.

Suddenly, she heard a sound behind her and quickly turned around, surprised to see Luther.

"Did I wake you up? Why didn't you sleep a little longer? I woke up early because I slept early last night," she asked.

Luther walked up behind her and draped the jacket over her. "It's cool in the morning. Wear an extra layer. You're pregnant, you mustn't catch a cold."

"Okay." Feeling the warmth on her body, Joyce nodded. "I wanted you to sleep a little longer."

Luther took her hand. "It's alright. Look, it's getting bright. Let's watch the sunrise together. I've never watched the sunrise by the sea with you before."

Following his pointing finger, Joyce looked towards the east, where a faint light was emerging on the distant horizon.

The two of them walked hand in hand onto the beach.

The soft sand sank under their feet, with each step deeper or shallower, gradually extending into the distance.

"Come up here," Luther extended his hand to Joyce. "Watch your step, it's slippery."

Joyce clung to his arm and climbed up a small rock.

Luther embraced Joyce and they sat down on a protruding part of the rock, leaning against each other, watching the distant sunrise.

Before long, a red dot emerged at the far end of the sea, growing bigger and finally bursting out of the sea's surface. The splendid morning glow reflected on the vast sea like a red silk cut by fairies, decorating the ocean magnificently. Amidst the deep blue sky and the shallow blue of the sea, a touch of crimson morning glow was embedded, the sea waves rippling, forming a beautiful painting.

"It's so beautiful," Joyce exclaimed sincerely.

Being able to watch the sunset and sunrise with the person you love is one of the most wonderful things in life.

They embraced each other, enjoying the breathtaking sunrise together.

After a while, Luther carried Joyce down from the reef, and they both returned to the tent.

It was time to prepare for fishing at sea. Joyce went to the camper van to prepare breakfast, while Luther went to wake up Anderson and Alisha.

Although Anderson and Alisha were still not fully awake, they were immediately energized when they heard about fishing. Especially Alisha, who jumped out of bed and eagerly bounced around. "Big brother, hurry up and get dressed. I can't wait," she said.

With repeated urging from Anderson, they finally arrived at the camper van, washed up, and had breakfast.

Meanwhile, Luther's prepared yacht was already anchored and waiting.

Because the yacht needed deep water, it could only be parked in the middle of the sea. There was another small boat waiting for them on the shore.

The family arrived at the seaside.

Seeing the yacht ahead, Anderson exclaimed, "Wow, such a cool yacht! Where did it come from?"

Luther patted Anderson's shoulder. "Of course, it's mine. I've bought several yachts before, but I've never taken you all for a ride. This yacht is the smallest because we're going fishing."

"Ah, how much does a yacht cost?" Alisha was also surprised; she had no concept of money. But she knew it must be very expensive.

"What are a few yachts?" Luther found it amusing. They probably had no idea how wealthy he was. A mere yacht wouldn't even be worth a penny.

"Let's go," Joyce gently held the hands of the two children.

They first boarded a small boat, which took them to the center of the sea, and then they climbed onto the large yacht using a gangway.

The small boat was then hoisted up and placed on the side of the large yacht as a lifeboat.

With that, the boarding was complete.

The yacht slowly started and headed towards the deep sea. The azure blue sea, wave after wave. The yacht parted the seawater, forging ahead.

The sea breeze blew, refreshing their faces, carrying the salty taste of the sea. The morning sun scattered like golden fragments, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The beautiful scenery was exhilarating. Anderson and Alisha were absorbed in admiring the beauty of the sea.

Meanwhile, Luther prepared his fishing rod.

The fishing rod was long and fixed on the deck railing. Luther prepared the bait, cast the float, and a streak of white light slid along the parabolic trajectory, plunging into the sea surface.

"Can we catch fish like this?" Alisha looked on curiously, asking.

"Do you see those white floats on the sea? The ones that reflect light?" Luther pointed with his hand.

"I see them, those ones?" Alisha nodded.

"Yes," Luther pointed to the hand-cranked reel on the fishing rod and explained to Alisha and Anderson, "Observe the float. When it disappears beneath the sea surface, you turn the reel or press this button to reel it in. When the fishing hook comes up, you can see if you've caught any fish."

As he was speaking, Joyce suddenly accelerated the turning of the reel in her hand.

"Hurry, it seems like we've got a fish!" Joyce exclaimed in excitement. "How do we do it? Is this the right way? Hurry, if we're too late, the fish will escape."

Luther quickly set down his fishing rod and ran to Joyce's side, helping her reel in the line.

As the line tightened, the float emerged from the sea surface, followed closely by the fishing hook. Sure enough, two fish were bouncing on it in succession.

"Oh my, we actually caught two fish!" Joyce became even more excited. "Quick, let's pull them up."

Luther rarely saw Joyce with such a childlike smile. A smile played on his lips as he reeled in the fishing rod. Now, the fish they had caught were presented before them.

"One is quite big, weighing over two pounds. The other one is smaller but still over a pound for sure," Joyce was extremely happy. She never expected to be the first one to catch fish today. Anderson and Alisha also came over to take a look.

"They look so strange. What kind of fish is this?" Anderson asked.

"These fish look so ugly. Can we eat them?" Alisha also inquired.

Luther took the fish off the hooks and threw them into a nearby bucket filled with half a bucket of water, perfect for keeping the fish alive.

"I'm not sure. There are so many different fish species in the sea. Perhaps it's some kind of grouper. We'll ask the locals when we get ashore. They should all be edible."

At that moment, a crisp ringing sound echoed with the sea breeze.

"The alarm bell on the fishing rod is ringing. Let's see whose fishing hook is moving?" Luther pointed not far away.

Anderson and Alisha dispersed in excitement, each rushing to check their own fishing rods.
