After a fun-filled day at the beach, it was time for Stephen and Fiona to return to the cruise ship. Just a few steps away from the pier, a handsome brown-haired man and a blonde-haired woman in black suits approached them. Oliver greeted them respectfully, "Good evening, young sir. It seems like you had a lot of fun today." The blonde man, still wearing a life jacket after the jet ski race, smiled. "Yes, today was quite enjoyable for us." He held hands with Fiona as they headed towards the cruise ship to clean up and rest. He couldn't wait to take Fiona on an exploration of the islands around Cartmar Island using their new jet ski. Upon reaching the cruise ship, Stephen relaxed by taking a warm bath with the beautiful and graceful Fiona. In that moment, they massaged each other and joked around. However, their fun was interrupted when Fiona's stomach growled loudly. Suppressing his laughter, Stephen said, "Oh my, we were having so much fun that we forgot to have dinner!" The brun

John was on the verge of indecision. He realized his body was shivering, and he might not be able to withstand staying in the frigid ocean, colder than his body temperature, with the constant wind blowing on the beach.Joana's face conveyed earnestness in helping him. But he felt that if he were to heed Joana, it would mean he was surrendering, betraying the agreement he had made with himself.With a pleading expression, Joana said, "John, I beg you! Come with me! For me, your safety is far more important!"Joana's sincere plea touched John's heart. In his mind, he said, "Oh, Joana! Why are you being like this to me? You make me feel like I can't let you go!"Without John's consent, the blonde woman pulled his body. However, because John didn't react, it was clear that Joana's pull meant nothing to him. With a hint of annoyance, Joana shouted, "I will jump into the water if you remain stubborn!"John seemed enchanted, he was stunned by Joana's earnestness. He admired the golden-haired

When the frost formed in front of Joana's room door, a red-haired man in a black jumper suddenly appeared behind Joana. The man had a cynical expression as he said, "You must be looking for me. Yes, I slept here last night."Neither Stephen nor Joana said anything; they waited for an explanation from John.John opened the door wider and stepped out of Joana's room, facing Stephen directly. With his hands in the tight pockets of his training pants, John said, "Last night, I had hypothermia. She saved me by taking me to her room. I’m sorry for failing to fulfill my bet." John spoke truthfully and admitted that he still owed Stephen for the bet.Then he turned towards the blonde woman who looked like a golden-haired mermaid savior to him. "Also, please don't misunderstand! Joana didn't do anything to me except help me. What she did has nothing to do with her job as a saleswoman at Cartmar Beach's jet ski dealer."Stephen's gaze focused on Joana, who tried to remain calm, but her cheeks w

"Hi, Stephen!" Keyla's melodious voice sounded from Stephen's smartphone. He pressed the speaker button so that Fiona could also hear the model's voice clearly.At that moment, Fiona got up from the bed and hugged Stephen from behind, her soft cheek resting against Stephen's facial hair-covered cheek. Stephen glanced at Fiona with a smile. His left hand held the smartphone, while his right hand caressed Fiona's hand on her hand.Stephen greeted Keyla, "Hey! How are you? I heard from Raymond that you got drunk last night."The beautiful model was taken aback by Stephen's question, but she quickly composed herself and replied, "Yes, it's not as bad as you might think. I'm fine." Although deep inside, she felt angry and jealous. She didn't know why she could be so crazy in love with a married man. After all, there were many handsome, wealthy, and single men out there who were eager to date her.But in the end, she had to face reality and couldn't blame anyone because she meant nothing to

"Joana? Why did she do that? Does this damn man just want to play with me?" John wondered. John stared sharply at Stephen, wanting a further explanation. "Don't joke around! I don't want to make small talk with you!" Stephen did the same thing. He was clearly busier than John. "Do I look like someone interested in prolonging a conversation with you, huh?" He smirked sarcastically. The evening breeze blew stronger, causing shivers and a desire for warmth. Therefore, Stephen told Fiona to go inside the yacht first. The brunette woman complied immediately. Before going to the yacht, she said, "Don't take too long! I'll be waiting for you!" Stephen smiled warmly, seeing Fiona off. As it was only Stephen and John on the dock, John's mind was still wondering. If Stephen had forgiven him, then that meant he had nothing to do with him anymore. Also, Joana, it seemed like John had to meet her after this. She was his golden-haired mermaid who had saved him. Before Stephen completely left th
