Hansel’s expression eased a little at her words. However, the next moment, he heard her say, “You are also none of my business.

“It’s late now. If you’re still going to act up, I’ll call the butler and get him to send the guards over.”

Hansel wasn’t done. “Mimi-”

“I’ll count to three. One, two…”

Miranda took out her phone and

ked on the call interface. She only

had to dial “one” for the butler to come immediately.

Hansel wasn’t willing to give up, but there was nothing he could do.

Before he left, he said, “I’ll come again tomorrow.”

Some distance away, Ingrid watched them from the restaurant balcony. Her expression was unidentifiable in the dark.

The next day, Winter returned only when dawn broke:

Miranda poured herself a glass of milk and took a slice of bread. She had just taken a few bites when she heard the password lock beep.

Winter had changed into a new dress and was humming away cheerfully.

Seeing the sandwich on the table, she walked over and ate one. The bread was toasted to a fine balance of crisp and softness. She reached

out for another.

Miranda sat across from her. Seeing that Winter was in a great mood, she commented with a smile, “Seems like you had a great night.”

“That’s for sure. It’s been some time since I met such a brilliant partner

for a fling.” When the topic was brought up, Winter had an indescribable. expression.

It seemed she was reflecting on or, perhaps, savoring the recollection. of what happened last night. “He had both a strong waist and great abs. He’s just perfect.”

The younger man whom she had a fling with was from Hosbren. Hist looks were impeccable.

Besides, given the culture in Hosbren, the citizens there were particular. about fitness. Winter was sure that those abdominal muscles she touched last night were the real t

It had been a long while since she had such a compatible partner.

To her surprise, he hadn’t left when she woke up in the morning. His smooth skin was covered in red marks she had left, and he had puppy- like eyes. She almost lost her cool at that sight.

Thankfully, she still had some reason left in her and remembered she made an appointment with a deep diving coach. It wasn’t appropriate to stand the coach up, so she hurried back.

“Didn’t I tell you the day before that I made an appointment with a diving. coach? We should make a move around 10:00 am.”

Marvedis‘ waters were clear and deep blue. There were specially developed diving spots where they could see fishes and coral reefs. around 100 feet below the surface. It was one of the main attractions of

the island.

Miranda had heard of it before coming. She was slightly scared when she thought about the feeling of suffocation and the pressure she might feel. However, her fear was overcome by her longing for and curiosity about the ocean. So, she agreed to try it with Winter.

Dave Turner, the coach they made an appointment with, had a good

reputation around that area. He was humorous and patient. Seeing that his clients were two gorgeous ladies, he was even more considerate.

Before they started, Dave explained step–by–step what they should look out for, including common hand gestures they would use underwater. He also showed them how to use the diving equipment.

Besides that, Miranda and Winter had to go through basic training before going underwater.

Winter had gone deep diving bre, so she knew all these by heart. Miranda was more attentive as I was her first time.

She sometimes made mistakes when learning the hand gestures. Dave would pat her arm, saying, “Hey, you’re too tense. Relax. You’ll feel the charm of the ocean through diving.

“Imagine this. The underwater world is fascinating, and now you get to experience it without anyone bothering you. How enjoyable that would be.“
