After all, Ashton was the one who brought Rachel here. Without a word, he stood up and headed in the direction which Rachel had left.
Standing behind me, Nora poked fun at me. “To be honest, you’re the most magnanimous woman I’ve ever met, pushing your husband to another woman. You’re really a genius!”
Meanwhile, Armond had sauntered toward the tent. I tilted my head and stared at her. “Shouldn’t you go to bed now?”
Her brows drew together as she glanced at Armond. At the same time, the man was looking right back at us with a solemn gaze.
Nora’s face flushed scarlet immediately. “How about sleeping in the same tent? I’m sure you won’t be able to fall asleep alone. Let me keep you company, okay?”
I broke into a fit of giggles. Giving her a sideways glance, I said nothing.
Her cheeks turned beet red as I eyed her suspiciously. “Stop overthinking. We’ve never done it before. Our relationship is as pure as it can be,” she explained hurriedly.
“I didn’t say anything. Why are you in such a hurry to explain yourself? Besides, didn’t Armond end up bleeding the last time?” I shrugged and said with a grin.
Pausing briefly, I raised my voice. “Could it be that Armond couldn’t get it up?”
“Cut the nonsense and go to sleep.” With that, she ran into a tent.
I chuckled at her reaction. Looking in the direction which Ashton left, I became a little worried.
If anything happened to Rachel out in the wild, Ashton had to be responsible for it.
After standing there in silence for a moment, I heaved a sigh and went back to my tent. Nora had already arranged the sleeping bags and hid herself under a blanket. “Hey pretty, spend the night with me.”
Amused, I went speechless for a second. “In this state, you need Armond more than ever. It’ll be romantic and thrilling under such a beautiful night sky.”
The woman tried to hold back a laugh while looking at me. “Scarlett, you’re so dirty-minded.”
With an innocent look, I asked, “How am I dirty-minded? I did nothing at all.”
The woman under the blanket stopped bantering with me and asked, “Honestly, aren’t you worried about Ashton now?”
I froze for a second before asking, “Why should I be worried?”
Blinking her eyes a few times, she added, “Right now, Rachel and Ashton are alone in the wild. The man is dashing, while the woman looks charming. Aren’t you worried that they might give in to the temptation?”
I laughed. “I think I should worry about their safety instead.”
“Hmph!” She nestled in the sleeping bag to find a comfortable spot to sleep.
