Standing next to Elias, she took a deep breath and took a deep breath of the strong sea breeze along with cigarette smoke.
“I don’t like people who smoke.”
Elspeth frowned and took a few steps back. Seeing that, Elias waved his hand, fanning away the smoke along with the wind. “Wait a while, the smoke will be gone soon.”
The other girl was standing not far away, unwilling to leave. She simply just stood there quietly and watched them get along. Elspeth turned her head abruptly and saw that the girl hadn’t left yet. More importantly, the girl was staring fixedly at them. Elspeth couldn’t help revealing a smile and asked, “Elias, have you been flirting with that girl?”
“How would I know? I don’t know her very well.”
Elspeth smiled and stopped talking about the girl.
When the girl behind saw that only Elspeth looked back at her and Elias didn’t respond at all, she stomped her feet angrily.
“By the way, what did you call me here for?”
“I simply wanted to ask you some questions.” He leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. “Tell me, who exactly is Edmund, and why did you recognize me as him at first sight?”
In fact, his serious and stubborn appearance right now was exactly the same as Edmund’s. Elspeth couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing. She then reached out and wanted to find the phone in her pocket to show him Edmund’s photos. However, she found nothing. Only then did she realize that her phone might have been destroyed by seawater long ago. The ring on her hand too had long since become an ordinary ring due to being in seawater for a long time.
“Have you heard of the Winthrop Family from Damoria?”
Elias frowned, “The Winthrop Family from Damoria… I have heard of them a little bit, but I have never come into contact with them. I was born in Blaydal and I went abroad with my parents after that. What? Is there really another person who looks exactly like me in this world?”
“That’s right. Except for your tone and demeanor, everything else is exactly the same. Oh, no. That’s not right. Edmund has a mole at the corner of his eye, and he speaks more viciously than you.”
The more Elspeth looked, the more she felt that there must be an inextricable relationship between the two even if they had never met. Could it be that…
“Now, there are only two possibilities. First, I am actually a descendant of the Winthrop Family, or second, Edmund is a descendant of the Cole Family.”
Even though Elias was shocked to hear this, he still analyzed it rationally. “But judging from the current situation, I think the biggest possibility is that Edmund is my brother because my mother said that she gave birth to a pair of twins at the time, but unfortunately, one of the children died of a heart attack, leaving only me alive.”
These words set off a huge wave in Elspeth’s heart.
“It seems that it is really…” Elspeth murmured.
“So, do you have any plans?” Elias let go of the railing and walked toward her step by step. “For example, introduce Edmund to me?”
Elspeth nodded. “That’s for sure. When I return to Damoria, I’ll introduce you guys. Edmund will be so shocked he won’t be able to say a word.”
It might be a good thing to temporarily shut up that spiteful guy.
“Okay. It’s a bit cold after staying here for a long time. Let’s go back. I just asked the kitchen to make some food. Do you want to try it?”
Elspeth took a step back, keeping a reasonable distance from him. “No need. I’m not hungry now.”
“Don’t rush to refuse. The chef on my ship is an excellent cook. He just made some food, so come and taste it.”
A smile appeared on the corner of Elias’ mouth as he said that. He gently held Elspeth’s sleeve before pulling her toward the dining hall.
When Elspeth saw the dining hall, she was completely stunned.
