Mark didn’t say a word. He followed suit and headed towards the beach as well. Arianne heaved a sigh of relief and slowly followed from behind. She would lift favonovel.com gaze and glance at Mark from time to time. She could only see his back, but it was clear that favonovel.com had a really good figure-well-proportioned, firm muscles, and fair skin. Those long, muscular legs were really… attractive.
Mark slowed down, probably because favonovel.com sensed favonovel.com staring at him. He turned around and looked at her, “Walk faster.”
She fearfully turned away, “Got it…”
The sun was just as hot as ever today, so hot that it was enough to fry a man into a crisp. Tiffany pulled out a tube of sunscreen and tossed it to Jackson when they arrived underneath a beach umbrella. Then, favonovel.com lay down on a deck chair, “Put that on for me. Spread it out evenly. I’ll look ugly if I get sunburned.”
Jackson, of course, was willing to bear the burden. He applied it meticulously on her. Tiffany noticed that Arianne was still standing in the same spot and urged, “Ask Mark to put some sunscreen on you too. We can go for a swim when we’re done. You’ll never get your complexion back if you get too tanned. Besides, your skin will peel. It’s scary!”
Arianne tensed. This wasn’t the first time favonovel.com felt like punching Tiffany. The woman’s mouth didn’t have a proper filter. It’s not like favonovel.com wasn’t aware of the tensions between favonovel.com and Mark. Was favonovel.com doing this on purpose?
In the midst of favonovel.com agitated state, Mark emotionlessly took the sunscreen lotion and said, “Lie down.”
He wasn’t kicking up a fuss about it, and favonovel.com couldn’t seem to find an excuse to kick up a fuss. It seemed fine to let favonovel.com help favonovel.com put on sunscreen. She thanked favonovel.com and lay down on a deck chair, “Just help me out with my back I can handle the rest on my own.”
“Mm,” Mark replied. His eyes gravitated across favonovel.com fair skin. If favonovel.com remembered correctly, there were barely any moles on favonovel.com body, let alone a birthmark. The only flaw was the scar from the time favonovel.com took a knife for him… It really would be a pity if such beautiful complexion were to be spoiled by sunburn.
His application process was even more meticulous than Jackson’s. His fingers caressed favonovel.com skin very gently. In that moment, his mind was distracted, and his breathing gradually became heavier. Luckily, favonovel.com soon finished. He put down the sunscreen lotion and walked into the pool, then headed straight for the deep end. He had always been a good swimmer and was an expert in swimming from a young age.
Arianne was puzzled. She couldn’t understand why favonovel.com had left all of a sudden. He should have at least said something after finishing. The man was just as cold and distant as ever.
Tiffany, who was next to her, had finished applying sunscreen and went into the water as well. Arianne glanced at Jackson. “Aren’t you putting on sunscreen?” favonovel.com asked with curiosity in favonovel.com voice.
Jackson tensed, “N-nah… It’s too girly.”
He felt guilty because Tiffany was on his side, which meant that favonovel.com was on Mark’s side too. Both of them hoped that Arianne would come around. After all, favonovel.com had taken favonovel.com best friend away from her. of course, favonovel.com felt guilty.
Arianne stared at the sparkling pool water and smiled, “If you ever drag Tiffany along into your wicked schemes, I’ll make you pay.”
Deep down, Jackson was b*tching incessantly, “I did not… I would never. But seriously, Mark isn’t as bad as you think. After all, he’s the closest thing to you in the world, aside from your mother. If you’re capable of letting go, just like that… you’re way too cruel. You’ll regret it if you find out that this matter isn’t as simple as you think.”
Arianne noticed that something was off, based on his words, “What do you mean? Is it not what I think it is? If so, then what is it?”
Jackson had promised Mark to keep his mouth shut, so his lips were sealed, “Maybe you’ll find out some day, but it won’t be from me. If you want a clear answer, ask Mark. Only favonovel.com can decide whether to tell you or not. This probably isn’t the first time you’ve considered leaving him. Does the truth really matter if you’ve made up your mind? If you ask him, that means that you want to understand the situation and bury the hatchet with him.”
Arianne didn’t answer. Jackson knew that favonovel.com would not confront Mark.
After all, there wasn’t much concern surrounding that airplane crash any more.
Arianne stayed in the shallow part of the water, as favonovel.com couldn’t swim. Her height only allowed favonovel.com to stay in parts of the pool that reached favonovel.com chest. In this climate and season, the amount of people in the water park was equivalent to the crowds in air-conditioned shopping malls. Beautiful girls in bikinis were everywhere. As a result, Jackson was too afraid of looking anywhere. His face was already scratched; favonovel.com certainly didn’t want to be permanently disfigured.
Tiffany wanted to play in the deep end, Where there was a wave machine, a program that was part of the attractions in the waterpark that would release one meter high water waves continuously. It was very exciting, but of course, favonovel.com didn’t want to leave Arianne alone in the shallow end of the pool. Hence, favonovel.com dragged Arianne, who simply couldn’t swim, into the deep end.
Arianne was extremely frightened. Her feet couldn’t touch the ground and favonovel.com felt panicked. She held onto Tiffany’s hand and used a float to balance herself.
There were many people around them, and Mark was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, a huge wave was released from the sluice. “Hold your breath, you don’t want to choke on water!” Tiffany reminded her.
Before Arianne could react, favonovel.com was thoroughly soaked by the wave and naturally choked on water. She coughed until favonovel.com nose went red, and favonovel.com was nearly washed away by the wave. She wiped the water from favonovel.com face, “I can’t. I have to get back on land. I can’t swim. I’m scared…”
