Chapter 1370
5:00 PM. The ski resort.
Blossom was still pestering Axel to teach her how to ski. She'd been at it all day.
The thing was, Axel wasn't even dressed for skiing. No gear, no intention of hitting the slopes, and he was clearly
ignoring her.
Blossom didn't mind. If he ignored her, she just kept at it, relentless.
Honestly, skiing wasn't even the reason she was here.
Chasing after Axel had made her shamelessly persistent.
If Axel glared at her, she'd just flash him a goofy grin.
If he rolled his eyes, she'd wink back, all flirty.
It wasn't until Axel's phone started ringing that she finally paused.
He stepped aside to take the call, and Blossom waited a few steps away, watching him like a fangirl staring at
her celebrity crush, eyes shining with admiration.
Whatever was said on the other end of the line, Axel's face darkened, the air around him turning even colder.
Blossom's brows knit together, worry written all over her face.
As soon as he hung up, she hurried over.

Axel didn't even glance her way. He just strode off towards Tarquin.
Blossom trailed after him like a puppy.
She was bundled up in a puffy ski suit and clumsy on her skis, wobbling along like a Benny's penguin.
Suddenly, a group of girls swooshed her way, barely slowing as they shouted, "Move it! You're in the way!"
Blossom panicked, her brain short-circuiting. She tried to dodge, but nerves got the best of her. She lost her
balance and went tumbling down the slope.
"Ahhh-!"
Her scream echoed, but the girls just laughed and skied away without a care.
They were after Axel too, but he'd shot down
their flirty attempts wit
enough icy glares to freeze a lake. They couldn't even get near him.
Sure, Axel wasn't exactly warm to Blossom either, but at least she could stick around him.
The other girls were jealous, always trying to mess with Blossom, but with Axel nearby, they didn't dare.
Now, seeing Axel distracted, they'd seized their chance-deliberately bumping Blossom, hoping she'd get hurt and
embarrass herself. After all, falling at a ski resort? Totally normal. No one would blthem.
Axel heard the commotion and turned. Blossom was rolling down the hill, shrieking the whole way.
His heart skipped-he started towards her, but a tall guy got there first, stopping Blossom's fall.
Axel couldn't hear what the guy said, but it was obvious he was checking if Blossom was okay.
Axel's frown deepened as he glared at the group of girls, his eyes icy cold.
They just giggled and disappeared into the distance.
"Blossom!" Elysia called, kicking off her skis and rushing over in snow boots.
Tarquin joined Axel. "What happened?"
"She fell," Axel answered flatly, not bothering with details.
Tarquin pressed, "Aren't you going to check on her?"
“Not my responsibility,” Axel said coolly.
Tarquin hesitated, then said, "That
guy seems really into Blossorn, He's

"Not my business," Axel snapped.
Tarquin sighed. "Hey, chasing after someone when you've blown your chance?
That's a rough road, trust me. Been there, done that."
Axel's jaw tightened. "I need to get to Mariana Land."
The subject change caught Tarquin off guard. He straightened, suddenly serious. "Why?"
