CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 343: SHE KNOWS THE WAY BETTER

Landon Sutton walked out of the bathroom, and Shannon Quinn blurted out at him, "Always taking advantage!"

At first, Landon Sutton didn’t understand why she was grumpy again. It wasn’t until he saw the notebook in her hand that he realized.

He sat on the bed and instructed her, "Beloved, come here and blow-dry my hair."

Shannon Quinn replied, "Do it yourself!"

Landon Sutton gave her a glance, "Why are you becoming more disobedient?"

Shannon Quinn tidied up her bag and walked over, blowing on his head a few times with her mouth, deliberately spitting a bit.

Landon Sutton stood up with a look of disgust, covering her mouth with his hand, "Be naughty again and I’ll spank you."

Shannon Quinn grinned mischievously and took advantage of his unguarded moment to slap his butt, "No elasticity at all."

Landon Sutton retorted, "Who taught you to be bad? Just like a tomboy."

Shannon Quinn said, "You taught me!"

Landon Sutton said, "You don’t learn the good stuff."

The first day, they set off to the place she mentioned, the love stone.

Initially, Landon Sutton thought only she would be so obsessed, but when they arrived, they found a queue of people waiting to touch the stone. There was even a photography group offering to take photos and print them for fifty bucks each.

Shannon Quinn held the printed photo, looking at the picture of the two of them touching the stone.

She managed a smile, but it looked a bit silly, while Landon Sutton’s serious expression clearly showed he had been coerced into taking such a photo.

She handed the photo to Landon Sutton and teased, "Look how awful you look, the picture’s so ugly."

Landon Sutton glanced at it and said, "It’s you who lowered my attractiveness from the side."

Shannon Quinn immediately retorted, "Nonsense, I’m obviously the better-looking one!"

Landon Sutton snorted disdainfully and headed toward the beach.

As Shannon Quinn looked at the photo again, she grew more dissatisfied, thinking she came all this way for the love stone, yet the photo didn’t capture any sense of happiness.

After pondering, she caught up with Landon’s pace, saying, "Honey, can’t we take another one?"

Landon Sutton refused, "No."

Shannon Quinn shook his wrist, "Look at this picture! It seems like we’re going home to get divorced after the vacation."

Landon Sutton glared at her, "Shut your mouth!"

Realizing her words weren’t auspicious, Shannon Quinn quickly said "Oops" twice and began to act coy, "Honey~"

"Handsome Landon~"

"Hottie~"

"Sweetheart~"

Seeing that it wasn’t working, Shannon Quinn used the ultimate trick, "Daddy!"

Landon Sutton paused, looking at her with a mix of anger and amusement.

Seeing a reaction at last, Shannon Quinn grinned foolishly and said, "Let’s retake it! Smile a bit."

Landon Sutton still didn’t agree and walked to an empty beach chair to sit down.

Shannon Quinn glanced around, saw both seats beside him were taken, and sat down by his feet, asking, "Can we?"

Landon Sutton pointed with his chin to a nearby drink stand by the shore and said, "A little thirsty."

Shannon Quinn immediately caught the hint, eagerly asking, "What would the boss like to drink?"

Landon Sutton adopted a lordly demeanor, lounging on the chair, "You decide."

Seeing him act all arrogant, Shannon Quinn wanted to pounce on him and beat him up.

Her heart was displeased, but her mouth said nothing.

She got up and took two steps toward the stand, then doubled back, holding her hand out to him, "Give me money."

Landon Sutton peeked at her from under his sunglasses, "Me?

Shannon Quinn said, "I didn’t bring any money."

Landon Sutton asked, "Then why carry a bag?"

Shannon Quinn replied, "It looks good!"

Landon Sutton continued, "Where’d the money come from for buying hair accessories earlier?"

Shannon Quinn stomped her foot angrily, "Cheap!"

On her way back after buying the drinks, Shannon Quinn saw several girls surrounding Landon Sutton. Each had a seductive figure, and from afar, she heard a bikini-clad girl ask him, "Sweetheart, I think I’m lost."

Landon Sutton lazily lay in the chair, glancing at the speaking girl through his sunglasses without speaking.

The girl continued, "Can you tell me how to get to your heart?"

"Haha." Shannon Quinn couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Such a clichéd pickup line was still being used to flirt.

But for Landon Sutton, who was conservative and not into trendy online stuff, this might be the first time he’d heard such a line, and Shannon Quinn was curious about his reaction.

He sat up looking left and right as if searching for something.

He saw her approaching with a cup of juice and pointed at her, saying seriously to the girl, "You can ask her; she knows the way."

The girl glanced at Shannon Quinn, then understood, flashing an embarrassed grin before hurriedly leaving with her friends.

Shannon Quinn walked over with a grin, teased him, "What kind of flower are you? So good at attracting attention."

Landon Sutton replied, "Don’t you know what kind of honey you brewed yourself?"

Shannon Quinn rolled her eyes and shoved the juice into his hand.

Landon Sutton asked, "Why only one cup?"

Shannon Quinn sassed, "Each cup costs eighty bucks, man, and that’s the cheapest."

Landon Sutton leisurely sipped, "Didn’t see you being so frugal when spending my money."

Shannon Quinn said, "That’s not my money, why should I be frugal?"

Landon Sutton abruptly pushed the straw toward her mouth, "Too sweet, not tasty."

Shannon Quinn grabbed the juice back with a smile, "You didn’t want to drink it, don’t blame me for not getting you one."

Landon Sutton could read her intentions; she purposely bought something she liked. How could he bear to watch her longing gaze as he drank without giving her a taste, yet didn’t want to let her have it so easily, "Go get me another one."

Shannon Quinn took a sip and said, "Get it yourself."

Landon Sutton commented, "Seems like you don’t want to retake the photo."

"..."

Shannon Quinn asked, "What do you want to drink?"

Before Landon Sutton answered, Shannon Quinn suggested, "There’s a signature cocktail there called Blue Beach; it looks good, do you want it?"

Landon Sutton lazily nodded, "Okay."

Shannon Quinn held up three fingers, "Three hundred eighty per cup."

Landon Sutton replied, "Alright, go buy it."

Shannon Quinn said, "No money."

Landon Sutton asked, "No money, yet taking photos? They’re quite expensive."

Shannon Quinn glared at him, reluctantly got up, thinking she’ll settle this account when they get back.

To take a photo, Shannon Quinn served Landon Sutton like a lord, massaging shoulders and legs, persuading and coaxing him until finally, she got her wish and retook a photo of them touching the love stone.

Though Landon Sutton’s hand formed a heart in the photo at her request, the result looked pretty good. He came across as quite cute in the photo, but when facing him in person sitting across from her, Shannon Quinn’s hands itch with the urge to hit him.
