The redhead gritted his teeth, furious with Stephen. He never expected Stephen to have such excellent jet ski skills. He wondered how Stephen could be so amazing. And more importantly, he had the money to buy two jet skis at once and dare to bet a significant amount that most people wouldn't.

"Oh, damn it! Who are you really, Stephen!"

John didn't immediately respond to Stephen's provocative remark. But now he was truly trapped by his own words. He regretted it inwardly.

"John? Are you okay?" Joana's melodious voice startled John. He didn't have any other choice now.

Reluctantly, John said, "I'm fine. Thanks for worrying. I'm just a little tired."

The redhead observed Joana, imagining if he had been the one to win the race that evening. "Joana, you would have hugged me immediately and wouldn't be shy about accepting my offer to go on a date! Unfortunately, Stephen ruined it all!"

Stephen's firm voice startled John out of his daydream once again, "So, have you decided not to fulfi

    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

    Fiona's focus returned to the dish in front of her. The Alaskan King Crab Leg Salad with Black Truffle Dressing was a delightful treat for her taste buds. Unbeknownst to her, luxurious dish after dish was served before her. All the food was made from the finest ingredients, with each portion costing no less than $10,000. So, during that dinner, Stephen had spent a total of $234,000, more than the amount of the bet he made with John. Money was truly no issue for him. "Today we're being extravagant for dinner!" Fiona smiled faintly. Stephen's eyebrows raised. "Extravagant? There's no such thing as extravagant for you. You deserve the best of what I have!" Fiona's cheeks blushed, and she said, "Thank you for the dinner. I'm truly impressed." Fiona's expression of gratitude and thanks warmed Stephen's heart. He became even more enthusiastic, and they engaged in a lengthy conversation. After Fiona started to look sleepy, Stephen invited her to their room. Stephen embraced Fiona and sa

    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

    Fiona muttered softly, "Damn it! Why do journalists create news like this?" Her chest felt hot, and she wanted to run and tackle a journalist, then smash the camera that was the source of her frustration.In her heart, she said, "That cheap woman must be very happy with this news!" Then she sighed in annoyance.The door to the room opened, and a handsome blond man approached Fiona, who was sitting on the balcony.

    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

    When Stephen and Fiona arrived at the Jet Ski hangout spot, a security guard greeted Stephen. He warmly responded to the greeting and asked for his assistance in opening the Jet Ski hangout garage and retrieving his two Jet Skis.The security guard agreed to Stephen's request, saying, "Please wait a moment!" He then walked towards the garage.After the security guard left, Fiona embraced Stephen's arm. With her eyebrows raised, she asked, "Stephen, you're not going to make me ride that black magenta Jet Ski alone, are you?"The blond man smiled, realizing the concern on his wife's face, and calmly replied, "No. I will ride with you for a while. After that, I will teach you how to ride your own Jet Ski." Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.A few moments later, a black and gold Jet Ski was positioned at the shore. Stephen and Fiona were also ready with their safety gear. Stephen hopped onto his Jet Ski and started warming up the engine.Stephen signaled Fiona to sit behind him with a hand

    "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

    After the intimate conversation with Fiona ended, Stephen picked up his phone again, preparing to make a short clarification video about his relationship with Keyla Fox. Fiona sat next to Stephen as he touched the smartphone screen. With enthusiasm, Fiona asked, "Where are you going to make the video?" The blonde man shrugged and replied, "I think either in this room or on the balcony. Which one do you think is better?" Fiona thought for a moment and then said, "This yacht ship is too luxurious, Stephen. If you make a clarification video showing the surroundings of the yacht ship, it will raise many questions. I think it's better if you make the video on the balcony with the sea in the background." Fiona's suggestion made sense. Stephen still didn't want to reveal his identity, so the easiest way to make the clarification video without leaving the cruise ship was to film it on the balcony with the sea in the background. Stephen and Fiona moved from the bed to the balcony. After S

Let's go there." They walked together towards the Ferris wheel. However, suddenly Falla rebelled in Fiona's embrace and started crying. Fiona gently comforted her baby, "Falla, what's wrong?
