"You just realized that now? You’ve done things like this many tis.
By the way, do you rember the ti when Faye Townsend nearly drowned?"
Hunter Warren raised his brows slightly and smiled.
Roman Hughes sat up straighter: "I rember it clearly."
The two seed to recall the past simultaneously.
Faye Townsend said she wanted to learn to swim, and Henry Sullivan arranged to teach her at Hunter Warren’s hotel.
That day, Henry Sullivan, Roman Hughes, and Owen Lennon arrived first.
After the three had been swimming for more than half an hour, Hunter Warren brought Sebastian Sheldon along.
Seeing that Faye Townsend hadn’t arrived yet, Hunter Warren asked Henry Sullivan, "Wasn’t Faye supposed to be learning to swim? How co the main character hasn’t arrived?"
Henry Sullivan glanced at Sebastian Sheldon sowhat resentfully: "She’ll co after class. We ca early.
But how did Sebastian have ti today?"
Sebastian Sheldon, wearing a bright red one-piece swimsuit, nestled beside Hunter Warren and smiled shyly.
"Mr. Warren asked if I knew how to swim, and I said no, so he insisted on bringing along.
Sorry for bothering you all."
"No worries, the pool is big enough. You learn your thing, we’ll do ours."
Returning from another lap, Owen Lennon jumped to the edge of the pool and looked at the two of them.
Henry Sullivan said nothing and dived back into the water to continue swimming.
Faye Townsend appeared about ten minutes later and imdiately drew everyone’s attention, including Hunter Warren’s.
Not for anything else, just because Faye Townsend wore a floral bikini.
It was the first ti everyone realized that the seemingly slender Faye had such a great figure.
Even Henry Sullivan, who was always calm, was embarrassed to look away.
After all, she was no longer the little girl he had adored since childhood.
Dressed like that, no one could help but see her as a woman.
After she entered and saw Hunter Warren and Sebastian Sheldon swimming nearby, her face stiffened.
Henry Sullivan beckoned to her: "Girl, you’re late."
Faye Townsend gritted her teeth: "Am I? I knew I’d be late.
After class, I went to buy a swimsuit. How is it? Beautiful, right?"
Faye Townsend said as she turned around in front of the group.
Roman Hughes clicked his tongue in amazent: "If I say I want a nosebleed, will you hit ?"
"No, I’ll just kick you into the pool." She turned to Hunter Warren: "Hunter, you brought Sebastian along too?"
Hunter Warren, looking at her, didn’t dare to let his gaze drop even half an inch, keeping it locked on her face: "Yes, Sebastian can’t swim either. You can learn together and see who learns first."
Sebastian Sheldon sat by the pool, blushing: "Faye is so smart, she’ll definitely learn first."
Faye Townsend shrugged: "I also think I’ll learn first, Sebastian, let’s compete today.
The loser has to treat everyone to a al."
"This..."
Hunter Warren patted Sebastian’s shoulder: "Accept the challenge, it’s alright, I’m an expert."
Sebastian Sheldon nodded.
Faye Townsend turned to Henry Sullivan: "Brother Henry, it’s not that I don’t trust you.
It’s just... I’ve found so backup.
I’m afraid he can’t find the place, so I need to go out and get him."
Faye Townsend said as she turned to leave.
A short while later, she returned, getting into the water first to learn from Henry Sullivan.
But Henry could see that she seed distracted.
Because they were so distance from Hunter Warren and Sebastian Sheldon, Faye mumbled to Henry Sullivan: "Hunter is so annoying. Did he bring Sebastian to show off against ?"
"How could it be, Faye, keep your mindset straight. Sebastian is Hunter’s girlfriend now.
There’s nothing wrong with bringing her here."
"They aren’t married yet."
Henry Sullivan indulgently ruffled her hair: "Alright, if you stay unfocused like this, it’ll be hard to learn today. Do you want to lose?"
Faye shook her head firmly: "Of course not, I definitely can’t lose to Sebastian."
She practiced the movents on the side.
Outside the pool, a waiter brought in a boy in swim trunks.
Seeing the boy, Faye stood up and waved to him: "Austin junior, over here."
The boy walked up to Faye, blushing shyly: "Senior Faye."
Faye took his hand and led him to the poolside: "Let introduce everyone.
This is Austin junior, the head of our university’s Swimming Departnt.
He is also the champion of the National Collegiate Swimming Competition.
I invited him today to teach how to swim."
Roman Hughes teased from the side: "Wow, back in high school, Hunter was also a swimming champion.
Hunter, you’ve t your match."
Hunter Warren smiled confidently: "Good, that makes it evenly matched."
But when he saw the junior looking at a certain part of Faye, his face cooled a bit.
Faye took Austin’s hand to the poolside: "Let’s hurry up and start. Today’s competition with Sebastian is who learns first, teach well, and I’ll learn well."
Austin nodded shyly and started guiding her.
By this ti, Henry Sullivan, Roman Hughes, and Owen Lennon had jumped to the poolside to watch the fun.
Roman Hughes quietly said to Henry Sullivan: "See, the two young ones work well together.
They seem to be on good terms, that kid is grinning ear to ear."
Owen Lennon crossed his arms: "Hunter seems a bit off, look at that face."
Henry Sullivan grunted: "Serves him right for bringing Sebastian to annoy us."
Roman Hughes nudged Henry Sullivan with his elbow and laughed: "Oh, you feel it’s unfair for your little sister.
But honestly, with such a raw gem by your side, why not make a move?
If I were you, I would have long ago..."
"Shut up, not everyone is like you, all brawn and no brain."
"Wow, Henry, your insult skills have improved."
Owen Lennon watched the two banter and couldn’t help but laugh.
The exchange was short-lived as Austin exclaid excitedly: "Yes, yes, just like that, Senior, you’re swimming so well.
Wow, Senior, you have so much talent. Join our Swimming Departnt."
Everyone turned their attention to Faye and Austin, and sure enough, Faye was successfully swimming two or three ters in the water.
Faye stood up and excitedly clapped hands with Austin in celebration.
But Austin suddenly hugged her tightly: "Senior Faye, you’re amazing, congratulations."
Faye awkwardly pushed him away with an embarrassed smile and looked back.
Hunter Warren, with a cold face, cast her a sidelong glance and wrapped his arm around Sebastian Sheldon’s waist to lift her to sit by the poolside.
Sebastian, sowhat embarrassed, said: "Faye, I told you you’d definitely learn first."
Seeing the two’s intimate actions, Faye felt extrely displeased inside.
Austin said: "Senior, practice swimming slowly by yourself for a few laps.
This was just to get the gist, next ti you co, it’ll be easier."
"Alright, you go have so snacks by the poolside, I’ll figure it out in the water for a bit."
Austin was beckoned over by Roman Hughes.
Faye leisurely swam and stopped intermittently in the pool.
Hunter Warren and Sebastian also got out of the water with the group.
Everyone was eating snacks and drinking.
Only Hunter Warren occasionally cast glances at Austin.
Roman Hughes noticed Hunter’s intention, sipped so juice, and asked, "Austin, what’s your relationship with Faye?"
"She’s my senior from the sa departnt."
"Really, do many people at your school like Faye?"
Austin blushed slightly.
Roman Hughes half-jokingly said: "What, do you like her too?"
Austin beca bashful: "That’s normal, right? Over half the n at school probably like her."
Roman Hughes pursed his lips with a smile and looked up at Hunter Warren.
At this mont, Hunter’s expression wasn’t pleasant.
He focused on Faye floundering in the pool with a frown.
Sebastian offered him orange juice, but he didn’t notice.
Lost in his thoughts, Sebastian called to him softly: "Hunter, have so orange juice."
Just as she spoke, Hunter pushed her hand away and jumped into the pool.
The group turned to look, only to see Faye floundering clumsily in the water.
Everyone stood up and jumped into the water after.
Hunter lunged towards Faye, pulling her up as she struggled frantically.
With a firm grip, he held her in his arms and shouted: "Faye, it’s alright, you’re fine."
After being pulled ashore, it took Faye quite a while to co to her senses, then she burst into tears.
"I was so scared, I thought I was going to die.
I haven’t even married Hunter yet.
Dying like this, I’d feel so unwilling.
I don’t want to be a virgin ghost."
Faye’s cries were so pitiful that the n surrounded her, comforting her and completely forgetting that Sebastian was still there.
Hunter was even more excessive, holding her initially, gently patting her back to soothe her: "Alright, stop crying, it’s not that bad.
So many people here, we wouldn’t let you die."
After she cald down, he pointed anger at her face: "But with your skill level, if you dare join any swimming departnt, I’ll break your legs.
So you don’t end up scaring yourself with a swollen corpse."
Faye raised her hand and pinched him on the arm: "You’re older than , and you haven’t died yet, I’m not going to die."
Roman Hughes raised his eyebrows looking at the bedridden Hunter Warren: "Back then, were you scared when you saw Faye drowning?"
Hunter turned his head to look at him: "I knew I could save her, so I wasn’t afraid.
But I was worried she might join her school’s swimming club.
I feared if sothing happened again, I wouldn’t be there..."
"Actually, we all forgot that day, Sebastian was also there. As her boyfriend, do you rember when Sebastian left? I can’t quite recall."
Hunter remained silent.
Roman Hughes asked: "After Sebastian went abroad, I didn’t see you worried about her departure.
Instead, you seem to be always at odds with Faye.
You’re saying it was because of Faye that Sebastian left.
But with your capabilities, why didn’t you go after Sebastian back then?
