Chapter 1408
“Sorry.” Madeline apologized before quickly bending down to pick up the hat and handed it back to her.
The moment she looked up, Madeline realized that the woman was wearing a large pair of sunglasses that covered more than half her face.
Despite that, Madeline could not help but be stunned as she took in the woman’s features.
“It’s alright.” The woman took the hat back and smiled, then turning to walk to the beach.
Madeline glanced at the woman’s back mindfully and fell silent for a few dazed moments.
“What are you looking at, Linnie?” Jeremy wrapped an arm around Madeline’s shoulder. “Let’s go back to the hotel.”
“Did you see that woman’s face, Jeremy?” Madeline followed Jeremy but turned back to take another glance.
It may have been a coincidence, but the woman turned around to look at Madeline as well with an intrigued smile on her face.
“I have no interest in looking at any other woman who isn’t you, Linnie,” Jeremy replied curtly.
Madeline felt like she had been fed a spoonful of honey, but her heart seemed to grow inexplicably unsettled.
Although, the unsettled feeling quickly vanished under the man’s sweet and gentle words.
The hotel Jeremy booked was grand and had a large swimming pool of its own.
Thinking back to how she had jumped into the river without a second thought to retrieve the reagent, Madeline decided that she would learn to swim no matter what.
At least that way, she would be able to save herself if a similar occasion ever occurred.
Under Jeremy’s kind guidance, Madeline managed to learn the basic foundations of swimming that afternoon.
