Sophia had accidentally stepped into a little pit in the sand, so she had been startled and couldn’t help exclaiming loudly.
Arthur looked at the slender, mesmerizing girl under the dim lights, and he found that she was like a little pixie with her long hair fluttering against the breeze. Her skin-tight dress accentuated her slim figure, and her laughter was exceptionally crisp and melodious. She was just like a playful little child..
He stood under the railing and was shrouded in darkness. His long eyelashes masked the deep look in his eyes. The way he looked at Sophia was quite rare on his face, and he was fully focused on her.
There were rarely any women who could hold his attention for so long. Furthermore, he scoffed at wasting his
time and effort on any woman. Unexpectedly, though, this woman here seemed to have cast a spell on him and triggered something different within him.
As soon as he realized that he had been staring at her for quite some time, his generally inflated sense of self-esteem deterred him from continuing to behave this way.
He turned around and decided to head
back first.
However, at that moment, there was a loud yell from behind him once again, “Ah!”
The tide had come in suddenly, and Sophia, who had been strolling close to the shore, was swept into the sea by the large waves.
“Sophia!” Arthur instantly rushed toward the beach, and he ran with all his might toward the girl struggling in the sea.
“Stretch out your hand to me!” Arthur hollered at her anxiously.
She quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed his hand. Instantly, she felt a huge force drag her out of the sea. At that same moment, there was another large wave that swelled up and pushed her
forward. She felt the force and was pushed straight into Arthur’s arms. The mighty force caused her to stumble forward and push Arthur to the ground as she ended up atop him..
The seawater surged and hit both of them repeatedly. Fortunately, the danger had been averted, but this man, who was usually quite fastidious about hygiene, was now half-soaked in seawater and covered in sand. His thick, luscious dark hair was met with the same fate too.
As for Sophia, she was in a similar state. She was drenched from the neck-down and her dress was dripping wet. She was covered in sand and her long hair was dripping with water.
