A Journey That Changed The World.-Chapter 1031: Come Darling

Archer and Alexa continued eating while chatting about their days. The navy-haired woman commented with a big smile, "Would you like to travel to the hotel on the Thames? We can get a boat to the pier down the road."

"That sounds good. We never went on the river before I died," he replied while finishing the barbeque ribs the waitress brought.

While Alexa was eating, he went to pay for their meal, and when standing up, one of the rowdy young men barged into him. He was annoyed, but the man apologized, "Sorry, mate. I didn't see you there."

Archer shook his head and approached the restaurant counter, where a man stood behind, waiting to serve someone. The situation confused him as Alexa thought they would start something, but they seemed friendly.

Following that, the waiter looked up before speaking in a professional tone, "How can I help you, sir?"

"How much is the meal on table twelve?" Archer responded while watching more people enter the pub.

The man momentarily typed at a keyboard before turning the screen to reveal the total. "That will be five hundred and eighty-six pounds, sir."

Without a word, he lifted his phone and tapped to pay. The transaction went through smoothly, and after a brief nod of thanks from the waiter, he slipped his phone back into his pocket and returned to Alexa.

Soon after, the couple left the pub behind and walked toward the river as people finished work. Archer noticed people rushing toward the nearest tube station, causing Alexa to comment while watching them, "I hate the underground. The other travelers always barg you and are so rude."

He agreed with a nod as she spoke once again, "Do you want to get a hot drink? It's getting cold."

"Lead the way bosslady," Archer replied with a grin.

They walked through the city, admiring the lights and sights. Twenty minutes later, the couple arrived at the pier where the tickets needed to be bought. Alexa approached the booth and tapped her phone after ordering both tickets to Central London.

The fabric strained against her round behind and long, shapely legs. When Archer heard this, he grew curious, causing him to think, 'Is she taking us to a posh hotel? Well, I do want to make love to her.'

When thinking that, Archer shook his head to free them from the lewd thoughts before he questioned as she approached with a love-filled smile, "Where are we going, Lex?"

"There's a hotel on the river that I've booked a room for that overlooks the city," she answered. "Many of my friends from school told me about it and have been waiting for you to go."

Archer smiled when hearing this before kissing her. The young woman was caught off guard, but she quickly reciprocated. Soon enough, a horn sounded, causing the couple to break apart as Alexa spoke with a smile, "Come darling. Let's get a good seat; it will take twenty minutes to reach."

Following that, the duo stepped onto the clipper as she dragged him to the front, where they sank into the comfortable seats. He slumped down and closed his eyes as the engines roared to life, giving him a headache.

"That hurts,' Archer thought while holding his head.

He covered his ears before using Mana Manipulation to create invisible ear muffs to protect himself. Alexa looked at him worriedly as she spoke while checking him over, "Are you okay, Arch? Do you have a headache?"

When hearing her soothing voice, Archer spoke in a strained voice, "Sorry, my hearing is more sensitive, and I was caught off guard."

She giggled before kissing his forehead and speaking in a caring voice, "I'm happy you finally returned to me. Thank you."

He smiled after hearing her while turning to the window to see the city fly by as the clipper. Archer enjoyed the scenery as he heard Alexa continue, "I'm looking forward to spending the night with you, my love."

After that, the two spoke, and she questioned Archer about Thrylos. When he told her everything, including the landscapes and monsters, Alexa was shocked but happy that she could live in a fantasy world.

"When you return there, can I come?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course, you're; I'm not leaving you behind again," Archer replied, pulling her into a side hug. "We were separated before, but never again, Lexi."

The young woman beamed as she leaned up to kiss him again. Soon enough, he broke the kiss while speaking, "How long until we get to the hotel?"

Alexa beamed before answering with a knowing grin, "'I see someone can't wait to get little ol me alone; what are you planning?"

"This woman knows exactly what she's doing,' he thought before whispering into her ear. "I'm going to ravage you, Lexi."

She giggled, flashing him a cheeky smile, then turned back to admire the setting sun. Its soft pink hues spread across the city, casting a warm glow over the skyline as the light danced off buildings and skyscrapers.

As Archer soaked in the view, his phone buzzed. A message from Elizabeth lit up the screen. [I just got off the phone with the British Prime Minister. He said he and his team met you... in

mid-air?]

He chuckled when reading the text before replying. [They flew toward me, so I thought I'd say hello. Is everything okay?]

After texting back, Alexa spoke in a curious tone, "Is that Elizabeth Winters?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Yes. She's telling me that the world leaders want to meet soon," Archer revealed with a chuckle.

He told her about his helicopter meeting with the prime minister, shocking the young woman. Alexa shook her head before speaking, "Don't get involved with politics, Arch. They are all corrupt and out for themselves."

Archer nodded in agreement as they spotted the clipper docked at the pier. Glancing around, he casually asked, "What hotel are we staying at, Lexi?"

The navy-haired woman turned to him with a playful smirk. "The Shangri-La at The Shard," she replied. "We'll have the perfect view-and comfortable beds to fuck like animals."

Her boldness caught him off guard, but Archer couldn't help the amused smile as they continued toward the dock. Then, Alexa led him through the city until reaching their destination, a tall glass-covered building.

'I forgot about this place,' Archer mused as his previous life memories started unlocking.

Alexa grabbed his hand before dragging him inside and approached the counter where an older woman sat. The worker looked up with a professional smile as she spoke, "How can I help you two this evening?"

He didn't speak as Alexa stepped forward and showed the clerk her phone where their reservation was. Archer smiled as the woman replied, looking between them with a knowing smile, "Miss Davis. Welcome to Shangri-La, and I hope you enjoy your stay."

While Alexa spoke to the clerk, he looked around at their surroundings, which had an Eastern theme. It was well decorated and had fancy decorations dotting the room, which would have cost a lot of money.

Archer noticed dozens of people coming and going with security, which caused him to think, 'Are they celebrities? Seems so.'

While watching their surroundings, he noticed someone; the blonde woman was with Lily Hastings. She turned in his direction only to stop walking with wide blue eyes, and Archer quickly noticed all the attention she was getting.

He noticed her seductive body was jiggling in all the right places. Archer shook his head as she reached him and spoke in a friendly tone, "Hello again. I didn't get to introduce myself

before, but I'm Kelly Hawkins."

Archer smiled and asked, "Lovely name. What are you doing here? I thought you were with

Lily and the old man."

Kelly giggled before replying, "That 'old man' is the head of the Hastings family."

"All that doesn't bother me," Archer said casually, his indifference making the beautiful woman laugh even harder.

She locked eyes with him, her smile turning more playful. "Can I have your number, please?" she asked, her voice soft but confident. "I know we've just met, but I'd really like to get to

know you better."

Archer nodded, handing her his phone without hesitation. As she entered her details, he couldn't help but ask, curiosity piqued, "So, what do you do? You're attracting a lot of

attention."

Kelly looked at him with a strange expression, but when she noticed he was being honest, she smiled before she answered, "I'm an actress who works on films in the UK. I'm filming in

London at the West End."

"Oh, interesting," Archer replied as she gave him back his phone, causing the people around

them to start gossiping.

"Maybe you should come visit me on set one day," Kelly teased with a wink, but Alexa

appeared and grabbed his arm before Archer could respond.

Her smile faltered as she watched the blonde approach. Alexa leaned close to the blonde, her voice low as she whispered, "Be careful of this incubus, Kel. But it's good to see you." Kelly raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "How do you two know each other?" she asked,

her gaze shifting between them.
