Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 125: Why didn't you guys continue

In the end, it was Katherine who became embarrassed first. She averted her gaze and mumbled, "So you were in Charlotte's room, huh? I waited the whole night for nothing!"

Last night, while Elijah was intensely focused on his "battle" with Charlotte, Katherine had mustered up the courage to quietly sneak to the door of Elijah's bedroom.

Knowing that Elijah would practice with Charlotte until late every night, she didn't knock but went straight into his bedroom.

She spent a long time building up her courage, sitting on his bed nervously, waiting for Elijah to return.

But she waited and waited until she eventually fell asleep on the bed, never seeing him.

Early this morning, she woke up to find the room empty and guessed that Elijah had probably slept in some other woman's bed.

She sighed with a hint of resentment but also felt a strange sense of relief.

Afraid of being discovered, she decided to sneak back to her room early.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Elijah, who wasn't even dressed!

"Did you wait for me all night?"

Elijah walked up to her without any embarrassment.

Instead, he focused intently on Katherine.

Her delicate face, without any makeup, still had traces of sleepiness, making her look adorably dazed.

Her pajamas were light, revealing her delicate collarbones and part of her chest.

This was one of Elijah's proud achievements; the pajamas he had brought back were anything but conservative.

"N-no! I have something to do, so I have to go!"

At the critical moment, Katherine became shy and wanted to run away.

Elijah didn't believe her. Coming out of his room early in the morning, dressed so lightly—even if there was nothing, he would make it into something.

He blocked Katherine, pressing her against the door.

Katherine felt a large something bump into her, making her body instantly stiffen, a blush spreading across her face.

"...Elijah..."

She called out his name shyly.

"I like it when you call me Elijah, honey!"

Elijah said with a chuckle.

Katherine blushed even more, obviously recalling her coquettish moments.

Just as Elijah was about to take it a step further, the door to Bella's room suddenly opened, and Bella walked out.

"??"

Bella looked at the two of them, utterly confused.

Elijah and Katherine were both taken aback, their expressions mirroring Bella's.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward!

"Uh... sorry for interrupting, you guys carry on!"

Bella quickly reacted, took two steps back, and closed the door.

Katherine also snapped out of it, struggling to break free and slipping out of Elijah's embrace.

"I... I'll head back now!"

In a flash, she was gone without a trace!

Elijah touched his nose and walked towards Bella's room.

The door wasn't locked, and Elijah walked straight in. Bella chuckled lightly.

"Why didn't you guys continue?"

"You scared her off. You owe me compensation!"

Elijah pulled her into his arms, letting her feel his tension.

"Hmph, why don't you go find whoever you were having fun with last night?"

Bella pushed against his body with both hands.

"But right now, I only want you!"

Elijah gazed at her passionately.

"Really? But I'm on my period right now!"

Bella said with a playful smile.

Elijah's expression froze instantly!

"Pfft!"

Bella found his reaction amusing and couldn't help but laugh.

No wonder she's been locking the door and not letting me in these past few days! Elijah's face showed a look of helplessness. Seeing Bella's slightly smug and carefree laughter, a thought suddenly struck him.

"Even if you're on your period, there are still other places we can use, right?"

Elijah said with a mischievous grin.

Bella's laughter stopped abruptly!

...

In the kitchen, Hannah, Lily, and Sophia were already preparing breakfast. It was unusual for Bella, who usually woke up early, not to be in the kitchen. Hannah found it strange, but Lily didn't seem to mind.

Elijah's back. It's normal for Bella to sleep in after spending some cozy time with him at night. Lily understood!

Sure enough, a little while later, Elijah and Bella came downstairs together.

"Sorry, I slept in today!"

Bella apologized immediately upon seeing so many people in the kitchen. Then she gave Elijah a sideways glance.

If it weren't for him insistently feeding her a nutritious breakfast, she wouldn't have been delayed until now.

"Today, you can take a good rest. I'll make breakfast!"

Hannah said, kneading dough with her hands.

"Alright, I'll help you out then!"

Sophia stood nearby, helping to pick vegetables. She watched the warm, harmonious scene, feeling a bit dazed.

Is this really the harsh world filled with zombies everywhere?

This island truly feels like a paradise.

If I could live here forever, maybe it wouldn't be so bad?!

On the other side, Elijah went out as usual to check on the morning training group.

Charlotte had somehow come out and was supervising Fiona, Grace, and Katherine as they exercised.

Katherine's expression turned slightly unnatural when she saw Elijah, causing her movements to become a bit awkward.

"Katherine, pay attention to your form!"

Charlotte immediately corrected her.

"O-okay!"

Katherine focused straight ahead and resumed her exercises earnestly.

Fiona, however, sneaked a funny face at Elijah. But as soon as Charlotte's gaze turned towards her, she instantly put on a serious expression.

Elijah smiled.

This girl is both timid and lively. It's completely at odds with her usual smart, wise, and elegant demeanor.

But it was this side of Fiona that Elijah liked even more.

After watching the elegant and captivating training of the four women for a while... uh, I mean their graceful postures, it was soon time for breakfast, and everyone headed back to the villa together.

After breakfast, Elijah told Fiona, Hannah, and Lily not to rush to the mall just yet.

He wanted to first take Sophia back to get her brother so Bella could treat him.

With the eight zombies under his control at the mall, there was no need to worry about the safety of the supplies.

If Elijah didn't go with them, the distance would prevent him from controlling the zombies, which could endanger Fiona and the others.

"In that case, why don't we all go together... to help out?" Fiona suggested.

Hey! Hey! You're revealing your true intentions! Elijah saw Charlotte giving Fiona a disapproving look and gave Fiona a "good luck" glance.

Fiona hesitated for a moment before adding, "We could take the yacht! We can wear swimsuits!"

Fiona had perfectly grasped Elijah's interests.

"Alright, it's decided then!" Elijah concluded decisively.

"If everyone leaves, the island's defense will be weak. Hannah and Lily can go, but Fiona should stay. I can give you some extra lessons," Charlotte said calmly.

Fiona's face fell, but then she straightened up as if remembering something.

"If I don't go, no one will be able to drive the boat!"

"Sophia can, right?" Charlotte looked at Sophia.

Sophia looked bewildered. "I think I can... probably..."

"Well then, it's settled!" Elijah pretended not to see Fiona's pleading eyes and said to Sophia, Hannah, and Lily, "Let's get ready to leave!"

"Fiona, come with me to the room. I need to check if you've forgotten anything I taught you," Charlotte said with a smile, leading Fiona upstairs.

"Fine, I'll go!" Fiona said resolutely, as if heading to her doom.

"Is Fiona going to be okay?" Lily asked worriedly.

"She'll be fine," Elijah said calmly. After all, it's just Charlotte checking up on her... uh, why do I suddenly feel a bit envious?

Elijah glanced at Hannah and Lily beside him. Once they put on their swimsuits, the view was definitely going to be pleasant! Mmm! Mmm! Elijah nodded to himself in satisfaction.

Soon, Elijah, Abigail, Hannah, Lily, and Sophia arrived at the dock. There were many yachts docked there, including a large, impressive one as well as medium and smaller-sized yachts. Sophia's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the yachts.
