Then, she began to cough violently.
Olivier looked up and glared at Wendy before patting Gwenda's back, asking softly, "Do you want some water?"
Gwenda nodded.
Olivier kindly gave her a glass of water. Gwenda eagerly took a sip.
"Slow down."
Olivier took a piece of tissue and wiped away the water at the corner of her mouth.
It took a while for Gwenda to calm down. She smiled awkwardly and was about to respond to Wendy's question when the latter asked once more, "Olivier, isn't the water yours?"
...
Gwenda immediately started coughing once more. It felt as if there was a burst of heat rushing into her face, causing it to turn red. Her heart was beating fast too.
"Shut it!"
Olivier rolled his eyes at Wendy before leaning closer to Gwenda, rubbing her back. "Are you alright?"
His warm breath puffed onto Gwenda's ear and his low voice reverberated in her eardrums, causing her to feel a numb sort of pleasure.
Gwenda stiffened before shaking her head. Blushing heavily, she murmured, "I'm fine."
Seeing this, Melanie could not help but smile and said, "Alright, don't mess with Gwenda. She gets shy easily."
Wendy stuck out her tongue and smiled at Gwenda. "Sorry about that, Gwenda."
"It's okay."
Gwenda smiled back in return.
"Alright, alright, eat up. We'll be fishing at a nearby river later. Gwenda, do you know how to fish?"
"No,"
Gwenda replied in a small voice as she ducked her head and nibbled at the bun in her hand.
"Then, Olivier shall teach you. He loves fishing."
Melanie said cheerfully.
Gwenda bit her lip and glanced at Olivier out of the corner of her eye. "Okay."
...
Half an hour later, the housekeeper had prepared fishing rods for the four of them.
Sitting by the shore, Melanie and Wendy were together. So, Gwenda naturally ended up with Olivier.
