Recap

Shayra woke up on the private cruise, her heart still fluttering from Mason's heartfelt proposal. She reflected on their journey, feeling the joy of their renewed relationship. The morning started with playful banter, as Mason surprised Shayra with breakfast. Their light teasing quickly turned into a spirited game of chase, deepening the bond between them.

With a teasing tone, Mason challenged Shayra, but she outsmarted him and hid in the wardrobe. When Shayra emerged, looking stunning in a new dress, Mason was momentarily speechless. They exchanged more playful banter, with Shayra taking the upper hand. Afterward, they enjoyed a cozy breakfast together before heading out to visit the famous Santorini volcano, Nea Kameni.

At the volcano, they took numerous photos and videos, capturing their fun moments. An older couple noticed their playful interactions and mistakenly assumed they were newlyweds. The older man offered Mason some humorous marital advice, leaving Shayra amused and Mason tactfully agreeing. After the couple left, Mason teased Shayra about marriage, making her blush. As they shared a tender moment, onlookers snapped photos of the adorable couple, ending the day on a sweet note.

Mason took a slow step towards Shayra, placed his hand on her waist, and whispered near her ear, "I haven't married anyone yet, but once my girl is ready, I'll marry her immediately."

Shayra's cheeks flushed red like a tomato. She wanted to retaliate, but words failed her, especially when she realized everyone was watching. Embarrassed, she hid her face in Mason's chest. Onlookers couldn't resist clicking pictures of the cute couple.

After visiting the volcano, Mason and Shayra went to a nearby restaurant for a heartfelt lunch. Mason, as usual, couldn't resist teasing Shayra. When some soup was left on her lips, Mason took pictures of her without her noticing. Then, he said, "Shayra, there's a bit of food on your lips."

Shayra tried to clean it but couldn't quite manage. Mason got up from his seat and offered, "Wait, I'll clean it for you." He bent forward and gently wiped the soup from her lips. Then, to Shayra's shock, Mason licked his finger.

"Mason, how could you lick it? That's gross, you know," Shayra said, surprised.

"No, it's not gross. Nothing about you could ever be gross," Mason replied playfully.

"Mason, I'm serious. You shouldn't do that, especially with so many people around. What if they saw you?" Shayra asked in a slightly serious tone.

"So what? Let them think whatever they want. I don't care about them. I only care about you, and that's what matters most to me," Mason said, his tone serious.

"Okay, let's finish lunch first, and then we can decide what we're going to do here in Greece and what places to explore next," Mason said, trying to distract Shayra from overthinking.

"Okay," Shayra agreed, focusing back on her lunch and forgetting the conversation.

Mason also stayed quiet, knowing how conscious Shayra gets when he's overly affectionate in public.

Once they were done with lunch, Mason went to the counter to pay the bill, telling Shayra he was going to the washroom. He knew Shayra would try to pay it herself if she knew. After paying, he returned to his seat.

Shayra called the waiter. "Can I get the bill?" she asked.

"Ma'am, the bill is already paid," the waiter replied.

"But I haven't paid it," Shayra said, confused.

The waiter wanted to reveal that Mason had paid, but Mason was signaling him not to. So, the waiter quickly came up with a story. "Ma'am, it's our 10th anniversary today, and you're one of the lucky customers whose lunch is on us. It's a gift from us to our luckiest customer."

"Oh, thank you! Please thank your manager for this lovely lunch," Shayra said, smiling.

"Of course, ma'am. I'll let the manager know," the waiter said and quickly left to attend to other tables.

Shayra and Mason left the restaurant and headed toward their penthouse to rest. On the way to their car, they stopped at a local market to shop for souvenirs. Shayra also insisted on shopping for Mason, as he only had dark-colored clothes. She took him to the City Centre and picked out bright-colored T-shirts and shirts for him.

Mason wasn't interested in shopping at all, but Shayra was stubborn. She didn't let him have a say in the matter and selected the clothes for him. Mason tried on more than ten different outfits, coming out of the changing room each time to show Shayra. She wanted to ensure the clothes she picked looked good on him.

Mason was tired, not enjoying shopping, but he tried his best not to spoil Shayra's mood since she was so enthusiastic. Once they were done, they left the City Centre with all the outfits Shayra had chosen.

As they were leaving, Mason saw someone familiar and suddenly wanted to hide. Shayra noticed his odd behavior and asked, "What's wrong, Mason? Our car is parked in the opposite direction. Why did you change directions suddenly?"
