Jolene has been ignored all the way. She is unwilling to be left behind. "Mr. Gilbert, can I join you?”
Noel looks at her, "You can't swim, so don't go.”
Poppy takes a meaningful look at her. If Jolene goes diving... Poppy closes her eyes to block the vicious gaze in her eyes.
"Mr. Gilbert, you'll take care of me, right?” Jolene winks at Noel, but Noel ignores it. "Suit yourself.”
"Thank you, Mr. Gilbert." Jolene says happily, and tears a piece of grilled fish to feed him.
However, Noel pulls out his arm and pushes her away. "I can eat it myself!”
Although being rejected, Jolene doesn't lose heart, she smiles and nods, "Mr. Gilbert, be careful, this fish has many bones.”
“I’m not a kid!” Noel's attitude towards her has always been cold. In others' views, Jolene is just playing a monologue.
After dinner, the afterglow spreads on the sea, and several colors collide in the sky. It doesn't seem mixed, but shows a beauty of layers.
Poppy stands by the railing. Facing the sea wind, she looks far away at the sun and starts to think. She has always believed that the nature is the most powerful. The sea is vast. It is sometimes calm as a mirror, sometimes roaring waves.Poppy may be pacified by the power of the sea, and there is a rare quiet in her heart.
"It's a good choice not to go diving.” Kenny comes up to her from behind. His hands hold the railing.
"There are some things that you can't regret after you choose. Just like you want to see the colorful coral after you see the beautiful sunset, but it's impossible, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” Poppy says.
Kenny looks at her. Her face is calm, while her eyes are full of emotions, but it's difficult to distinguish.
"So sentimental?” Kenny knows from the beginning that she is not a simple girl.
Poppy smiles. She looks at the distant glow, and speaks nothing.
The others come out of the cabin and walks towards them. They have changed their diving suits and have all kinds of diving equipment in their hands.
Noel looks at poppy with a sad face. "Goddess, don't you really want to go diving?”
“Yeah.” She has done too many unnecessary things today.
Jolene grabs Noel's arm. "Mr. Gilbert, she don't want to go with us. Forget it!”
