Chapter 264 The Plan Began, Eradicating Fannie Completely
The next day, Hunter arranged for everyone to go diving.
The next day, Hunter arranged for everyone to go diving. Since Patricia was pregnant, she couldn't go into the water, so Hunter set up a lounge chair with a sun umbrella for her on the beach. Hunter found two divers for Fannie and Charles and personally took them diving. He stayed on the shore with Patricia.

Fannie had no idea the underwater world was so beautiful.
The microorganisms, corals, seaweed, and even close encounters with fish were mesmerizing.
Fannie, thrilled, refused to come ashore, playing for a long time.
She came up to change her oxygen tanks several times.
Hunter indulged her, allowing her to play as long as she wanted.
Patricia disapproved,. "You're spoiling pampering her too much,. sShe'll become spoiled."
Hunter, holding a coconut, sipped on the juice through a straw, unconcerned,. "When we're married, she'll be my daughter. A daughter is meant to be spoiled so that when she grows up, she won't be easily swayed by sweet talk from men." Anyway, it's just for these two days. Let Fannie have her last hurrah.
Anyway, it's just for these two days.
Let Fannie have her last hurrah.
The more he said, the guiltier Patricia felt.
"But Fannie towards you..."
Hunter knew what she was about to say and interrupted her,. "I believe that sincerity can move mountains. One day, Fannie will truly accept me. See, hasn't her attitude towards me improved a lot these past two days?"
But Patricia wasn't as optimistic as him.
Fannie was her daughter.
She knew her too well.
Once she was set in her ways, she was truly stubborn.
Not even nine bulls could pull her back.
They dived during the day, and as the afternoon neared sunset, Hunter had Jake drive them to the peninsula to enjoy the sunset once more. Hunter prepared ice cream for Fannie and Charles again. This time, he didn't buy as much as the day before, just strawberry and vanilla for Fannie and plain and chocolate for Charles. Since Patricia was pregnant and couldn't have ice cream, he bought her hot milk instead.

The four of them sat shoulder to shoulder on the rock, eating and watching the sunset.
At first glance, it felt like a family of four.
Even though it was their second time watching, Fannie and Charles were again deeply moved, and they couldn't calm down for a long time after returning to the hotel.
Hunter, with both hands gently ontouching Charles and Fannie's heads with both hands, said tenderly, "Sleep early tonight,. I'll take you out to sea to fish tomorrow."
Fannie had never fished before, but the thought of going out to sea excited her, and she jumped up,. "Yay, I've never fished before. Then, Hunter, you should rest early, too, so we can set off early tomorrow."
She was obviously warming up to him.
Hunter's eyes quickly flashed with derision.
"Alright!. We'll all go to bed early today, and we'll depart from the hotel at six o'clock sharp tomorrow morning."
Fannie tilted her head and playfully made an 'OK' gesture to him.
Hunter turned to Patricia,. "You're not well, and the sea breeze isn't good for you, especially if you catch a cold,. iIt would be troublesome. So rest well in the hotel tomorrow. I'll take care of the two kids."
Patricia had been active all day and was indeed exhausted. For the sake of the baby, she agreed to Hunter's suggestion.
"Then I'll leave Charles and Fannie in your care!" ."
Hunter pretended to be upset,. "If you keep being so formal with me, I'll really get angry!" ."
Hearing this, Patricia said no more.
Thinking of going out to sea to fish the next day, the two little ones went to bed early after their bath.
The next day, they woke up before dawn, went to the restroom to wash up on their own, and changed into the beach clothes they had bought at the diving beach the day before.
The beachwear was bright red with a few coconut trees printed on it, complete with hanging coconuts. The clothes were too large, giving the impression of children wearing adult-sized clothes. But the two little ones didn't mind. They packed their things, slung on their backpacks, and left with Hunter.

In the car, Hunter handed them a few photos.
"Pick a place,. wWhere do you want to go? The names and their features are on the back."
Charles and Fannie looked through them seriously, one by one.
"Emperor Island, Similan Islands, Coral Island, Honeymoon Island—"
"We went to the Similan Islands yesterday, which is more suitable for diving than fishing. Let's go to Honeymoon Island... it says here that if we're lucky, we might see dolphins on the way."
Hunter grinned and winked at him,. "We're really on the same wavelength,. I also think this place is more suitable for us to go fishing."
Then, he instructed Jake, "To to go to Honeymoon Island." .
Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Hunter took Charles and Fannie for breakfast first while Jake prepared the yacht.
He chose a seaside restaurant with a beautiful ocean view from the window.
Charles was eating breakfast and looking out at the sea when he suddenly felt an oppressive sensation from the horizon, where a. A layer of dark clouds seemed to be converging with the sea, creating a foreboding atmosphere. A sense of unease welled up inside Charles.
A sense of unease welled up inside Charles.
"Hunter, it looks like there are some big clouds over the sea,. iIt's not going to rain, is it?"
Hunter followed his gaze, then smiled,. "I checked the weather report,; there was no rain today.
Besides, what if it does rain? We can just take shelter in the cabin until it stops."
"But..." Charles wanted to voice his unease.
But Hunter didn't let him finish,
"But what? Don't worry,. nNo matter what happens, I'll make sure to protect you both."
Fannie, not too concerned, added, "Hunter's right,. aAs long as we don't see a tornado, we'll be fine. We've come all this way,; it would be a shame not to enjoy it."
Her words made Charles suddenly feel like he was overthinking it.
As A little rain was nothing as long as it'sit was not a tornado or a typhoon, a little rain is nothing.
With; with that thought, he stopped fretting.
After breakfast, Hunter and Jake took Charles and Fannie to the yacht waiting at the dock.
The yacht was three-storied.
Red, red and white in color, with sleek lines.,
Cclearly very expensive.
The yacht cut through the deep blue lake, leaving a white arc on the dark green water, stirring up waves.
Hunter took Charles and Fannie to the cabin, pulled out the pre-prepared fishing gear, and patiently taught them how to thread the line, how to bait, and what kind of bait would attract the fish in the sea—
Charles and Fannie were quick learners, and they couldn't wait to take their fishing rods to the deck. By then, the yacht had left the dock.
By then, the yacht had left the dock.
Surrounded by the vast sea, no mountains, no people, just their yacht on the broad expanse of water.
A hint of doubt crossed Charles's mind.
Just as the thought surfaced, Hunter spoke up,. "To make sureensure you have a great time, I've rented this area just for us. So today, it's only us, no one else to disturb us."
His explanation successfully fooled Charles and Fannie.
His explanation successfully fooled Charles and Fannie.
The two little ones stood on the deck, serious and poised, not looking not like beginners at all, but rather like seasoned fishermen.
After Fannie cast her line, she clasped her hands together and silently prayed.
"Little fish, bite quickly, bite quickly..."
Charles rolled his eyes at her.
Hunter watched the darkening clouds press lower and lower, a smile spreading across his lips. He was smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, chilling to the bone, his handsome face resembling a sinister devil.—
The plan was finally about to begin.
Soon, Fannie, the thorn in his side named Fannie, would be gone for good.
