Chapter 97

The entrances to the men's and women's pools were separate, yet the pools themselves were merely divided by a fence.

Though the men and women were out of each other's sight, their voices carried over clearly.

When Evelina and her friends entered the women's section, Jasper's orders of fruit juices, wines, and snacks began to be served.

Evelina had barely touched her food on the flight from Eastmere to lreah.

Upon their arrival, Jasper, worried she might be hungry, had thoughtfully arranged a selection of her preferred snacks.

These treats were freshly prepared, emphasizing healthiness and taste.

"Everything I love is here!" Florrie exclaimed, her eyes lighting up in excitement at the sight of the treats.

With a cake in each hand, she munched away gleefully. "Uncle Jasper used to say it was too much hassle before, claiming the chef was always too busy. But now that Evelina is here, suddenly the chef finds the time?"

In a light-hearted tone, she teased Evelina, "It's clear my uncle prefers his sweetheart over his niece!"

From behind the bamboo fence, Jasper's laughter resonated. "Even surrounded by all these treats, you're still complaining?"

With a mischievous grin, Florrie stuck out her tongue.

Evelina gently cleaned the crumbs from Florrie's face, smiling warmly."Don't rush. I promise, whenever l have something good to eat, you'll always have your share."

Florrie's grin widened. "You're the best, Evelina," She then called out over the fence, "Uncle Jasper, take note! Happy wife, happy life. You should try to keep pace with Evelina."

Despite not having responded to Jasper's advances, Evelina found herself blushing at the sudden reference to them as a couple.

In an attempt to quiet Florrie, Evelina quickly pushed a piece of cake into her mouth.

Taking the comment to heart, Jasper responded earnestly, "Understood."

As Evelina's cheeks grew even hotter, she wished she could hide underwater.

Both Florrie and Kristina giggled at Evelina's visible discomfort, enjoying the rare sight of her flustered state.

Aurora entered at that moment.

A world away from the timid girl in the changing room, she slipped off her robe by the pool with quiet confidence.

Honestly,her figure was impressive-fit, yet curvy in all the right places.

"Have you seen enough?" Aurora asked with a scornful look, catching Kristina's gaze as she stepped into the water.

Kristina had a good figure too, though her chest was on the flatter side.

Stung by Aurora's derisive look, Kristina retorted sharply, "Why would I waste my time looking at you?Evelina's the one with the stunning figure, looking just as good in or out of clothes, every curve smooth and flawless."

She then called out louder for all to hear, "Mr, Russell, you've truly captured a gem in Evelina."

Despite her usual confidence in her figure, Aurora was taken aback by Kristina's harsh words, her expression contorting in frustration.

From the adjacent men's pool, a low chuckle was heard. "Evelina's beauty and physique are merely the tip of the iceberg of her qualities." "Exactly," Florrie chimed in enthusiastically.

Trying to lighten the mood, she puffed up her still-maturing chest and joked, "Kristina, do you think I could look like Evelina if I work at it for a few years?"

Kristina responded with genuine laughter, "Keep eating well, and you might stand a chance."

Their laughter filled the air once more.

Meanwhile, Aurora sat apart from the group.

Kristina and Evelina exchanged meaningful looks, having discreetly checked Aurora's skin for any signs of tattoos but finding none.

Now, they pondered their next move.

Should they attempt to remove her remaining clothes, her bandeau and shorts?

And what if they still found nothing?
