Anathea hadn’t expected Gregory to be here.
“Grandma called and asked me to come,” said Gregory tonelessly, te scanned her casually, but paused when he noticed the swimsuit she was wearing. His eyes narrowed.
His piercing gaze unsettled Anathea 11 didn’t take a genius to figure out that Gregory thought she was doing this on purpose, just like what she’d done at the Sinclair residence.
However, she had no idea why he was here. If she’d known, she would’t have come in. She didn’t want to have anything to do with him, let alone wear something skimpy to seduce hân.
Gregory watched Anathea standing motionless a few steps away. Then, he said calinly, “Corne here.”
She didn’t know what he meant and remained standing in place. Agathea considered whether she should grab her bathrobe and
“What? Are you trying to play that cat–and–mouse game you adore?” Gregory glanced up at her and asked snootily, “Anathea, don’t you have any new tricks up your sleeves?”
Anathea frowned. She didn’t like being misunderstood for something she’d never done.
In addition, this wasn’t Gregory’s personal pool. Everyone had a right to come here. It was a coincidence that she’d shown up here. It she left, it would seem like an admission of guilt as he’d seen through her ulterior motives.
Personally, Anathea believed that she’d behaved morally. She had nothing to hide. Why should she run away from him?
Thus, Anathea put her robe down and walked over to him, seemingly unbothered. She lowered herself into the warm water in the seat opposite his.
The calm surface of the water rippled because of her movements. The flower petals on the surface bobbed gently.
This was the rose pool, so there were rose petals floating on the surface of the water, complimenting Anathea’s swimsuit. It
made her look even loveller than she was.
Gregory’s eyes darkened as he studied her.
Anathea probably hadn’t noticed that the shawl covering her cleavage was stuck to her skin after it got wet. The translucent fabric clung to her curves, discreetly showcasing her figure. It looked subtly sexy…
In addition, she was sitting directly opposite him. He could see every little detail. Yet, she still insisted that she wasn’t doing so
on purpose.
Gregory’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
Anathea didn’t know what Gregory was thinking about, but she felt uncomfortable being in his presence. Thus, after forcing herself through five minutes of sitting there, she got up. “Right, I’m done. I’ll take my leave first. Take your time.”
Gregory didn’t offer a response, nor spare her a glance.
Anathea didn’t wait for a reply either. She got out of the water and stepped on the reflexology path. The cramping pain shot up through her leg and freshened her mind.
She walked behind Gregory to grab her stuff. Suddenly, she heard the sound of water splashing
Before Anathea had realized what was happening, she felt a hand around her wrist yanking her into the pool.
The warm
mwater enveloped her as she fell into the water, only managing to stabilize herself by leaning against the wall of the pool. She faced Gregory directly.

Through the mist, Anathea watched the stately figure before her. degory only had a pair of swim trunks on. His upper body was entirely exposed.
However busy he got, Gregory went to the gym without fall. While he definitely wasn’t bony, he wasn’t disgustingly muscular either. Anything more would be too much, while any less wouldn’t be nice. He was in that perfect middle, his figure perfect.
As Gregory had just exited the pool, his muscles were engorged, enhancing his defined abs. Water droplets dripped off his hair and splattered onto his neck, flowing to his collarbones before Tricling past his chest down to his alm.
