Chapter 1323
Stella turned to see Marshall smiling at her in the water not too far away. He wore a short-sleeved swimsuit, no longer concealing his scarred arms that he used to keep hidden under long sleeves.
The sudden change surprised Stella. She had always seen Marshall as someone who was a bit reserved. ‘It must have taken a lot of determination to make such change,’ she thought.
Stella was not one to hold back her praise, so she gave him a thumbs-up and said, “Looking dashing, Mr. Moore!”
Seemingly a bit shy, Marshall looked down, and his ears turned red.
Keegan’s eyes twitched upon seeing that. ‘Why the hell is he blushing?!’ He pushed Stella’s raised thumb back into the water and said, “I’m not done learning yet!”
His reaction left Stella at a loss for words. “You’re never gonna learn how to swim if you don’t get your breathing right, ” she said.
“The water keeps getting into my ears. It’s uncomfortable,” Keegan pouted.
“Then… You can just float around with your flamingo,” Stella said as she let go of him.
After that, she dove into the water and swam a few feet
away. When she resurfaced, she glanced back at Keegan with a smile and mouthed a few words before diving back down.
Marshall could see how exasperated Keegan was and focused his ‘Nice bird,” he commented before swimming after Stella.
Keegan was not happy. He glared at the pink flamingo and had an irrational desire to strangle it.
