Chapter 624
Shane could not tear his eyes away from her the moment she reached the
edge of the pond. At that moment, the sight of Sarah’s figure alone was
enough to make him bleed from the nose. She had an exquisite figure
indeed. Her wet clothes clung close to her body, outlining her figure vividly in
all its glory. How could any normal man withstand that? In fact, upon closer
inspection, her facial features were mesmerizing as well.
He sighed internally and thought, My gosh! What day is today? How could so
many angels have descended upon the village?
“Thank you, Manuel! Cough-” While wringing her clothes dry, she thanked
him. However, she continued to cough and sputter in between. After all, she
did choke on some water earlier.
“It’s fine. You should be careful when taking care of Amy. After all, she isn’t in
the right state of mind. Her movement and actions are different from others.”
Although he did not witness the incident that happened, subconsciously, he
knew Amy was the one who dragged her into the waters. Otherwise, both of
them would not have slipped and fallen.
“Alright, noted… A–Achoo!” While speaking, she suddenly sneezed, splattering
his face with saliva and snot. “Oh no! I’m sorry!”
“It’s fine. Both you and Amy should get a change of clothes. Otherwise, it’s
easy to catch a cold on such a cold day,” said Emmanuel while wiping the
saliva and snot from his body.
“Alright. Do you have any suitable clothes at home?”
He was stumped by her question. It had been long since they returned home
for the festive season. So, how could there be clean clothes at home, let
alone finding one suitable for Sarah?
Roselynn glanced around subconsciously. Coincidentally, her gaze landed on
Shane. A–ha!
“Shane, come over here. Would you be so kind as to get two suitable–sized
clothes for these two ladies?”
Shane pointed at himself and said unwillingly, I didn’t push them. Plus, I don’t
have any women at home. Why should I be the one to run this errand? Where
on earth will I find one anyway?”
She did not let his words get to her. On the other hand, she strode toward him
and whispered in his ear, “They’re both single. Don’t you want to show them
“This cannot go on!” Roselynn felt the situation was dire. As such, she quickly
advised Sarah, “Sarah, you should at least take off your shirt. If not, you will
catch a cold later.”
“But…” Sarah looked troubled. It would be fine if there were only three women
here. However, Emmanuel was a man, so how could she remove her clothes
before him?
“I’ll head outside. You guys should lock the door and dry yourselves by the fire.
In a moment, I’ll ask Roselynn to bring the clothes here,” said Emmanuel as he
stood up immediately.
“But you will catch a cold if you do that, Manuel.” Sarah was worried about
him.
“Don’t worry. I have a strong body. I should be able to hold it out.” With that, he
left the house without a second glance.
On the other hand, Sarah continued to stare at his tall retreating figure with a
glint in her eyes. Only she knew what was flashing past her mind at that
moment.
