After getting changed with Japanese yukata, the two of them came to the intersection dividing the hot spring ponds for males and females.
Rolling his eyes, Cole wrapped his arm around Amber's tender waist, "Baby, how about we take a mixed bath?"
Amber smiled at him and nudged him with her elbow.
"Ouch!" Cole covered his stomach, looking painful, "Baby, how can you hit me?"
Amber squinted at him, "You deserve it. Taking a mixed bath? Dream on!"
Cole stood upright right away, defending himself, "What's wrong with that? We are a couple."
"A false one." Without paying attention to him, Amber put the bath towel on her shoulders, lifted the curtain with two large-sized letters “Female” on it, and walked in.
With no one inside, it was quiet.
Taking off the bathrobe, Amber wrapped herself up with a white towel covering her upper body to her thighs only, walking into a pond for a single person.
The water was so hot that her whole body turned red. She moaned a few times in comfort.
At that moment, the sliding door of the entrance was opened. And someone walked in.
Amber looked up. Through the swirling vapor, she saw the face of the one coming.
It was Makenna.
Amber frowned. The resort was good. The only flaw of it was that it was too small, making her bump into the one she disliked with ease.
Makenna didn’t expect to see Amber here as well. Feeling stunned for a while, she smiled, saying, “Ms. Reed, here we meet again!”
Amber didn't want to bother with her. Nodding her head, she got up, intending to leave.
As soon as she stepped out of the hot spring pond, Makenna's voice rang again, "Ms. Reed, I just arrived. And you want to leave. You don't want to see me, right? At worst, we were classmates and roommates at college."
Standing in the pool, Amber grabbed the bathrobe and covered her chest, saying with slight ridicule, “Ms. Gardner, you're funny. You always thought that I rubbed you the wrong way back in the university, right? And you dislike me even more now.”
Makenna leaned on the edge of another hot spring pond and looked at Amber with a light smile, "Then, Ms. Reed, do you want to know why?"
Amber sat back in the pond, "Tell me. I want to know how exactly I have offended you to make you treat me like this!"
The two of them were separated by a hot spring pond for a single person, staring at each other from a distance.
"You know. Right from the moment you entered the dormitory, I had an inexplicable sense of crisis. I always felt that you would steal something important from me."
Makenna pinched her nails fiercely into her hand, adding, "Sure enough, you took advantage of my car accident during the coma and snatched Jared. The way you see it, will I let you go?"
Sensing the hatred in her tone, Amber wasn’t disturbed, looking as calm as ever, “Whether you believe it or not, I didn’t snatch Jared away from you when you were in a coma. Back then, you told me in person that you and he were siblings.”
It is because of this that she had asked Jared to marry her.
Otherwise, no matter how much she liked Jared back then, she, who was proud, would never have done that.
"You don't need to explain this to me. You can't deny the fact that you had been with him for six years.” Makenna bit her lips and looked at her.
Amber moved her lips, intending to say something. Her cell phone by the side of the pond rang. The caller was Cole.
"Hello?"
"Baby, are you done? "
"Almost done. " Amber nodded.
Cole urged her, "Then come out quickly. I heard there would be a fireworks feast later. I'll wait for you at the sightseeing deck."
Amber fished a towel aside with one hand and wiped the hot sweat from her face, "Okay, I'll take a shower and come out."
After hanging up the call, she got up and walked out of the pond. As she walked by the pond where Makenna was, she paused, saying, “Ms. Gardner, from our conversation just now, I know that you will continue to set me up with a lot of tricks. It is okay. Feel free to come at me. I will take them all!”
