Alexander blushed and stuttered out an excuse, "I-I saw you were about to fall asleep, and I was worried you might catch a cold." He then whispered softly, "I'll let you hold me once we return."

Isabella had also come to her senses, suddenly feeling quite awkward. Why did I think / could hug him whenever I wanted?

Again, she habitually avoided the topic, "True, I might catch a cold. I'll go on up then."

Alexander didn't mind Isabella's response. After all, his situation was far from ideal.

He had merely held his wife for a moment, yet his entire body was already filled with a restless heat. He thought he was used to it, but due to their extreme closeness, he ultimately lost control.

The unfamiliarity of the luation left him awash with embarrassment as if he had done something disgraceful. Fearing that Isabella would discover what happened, he had no choice but to avoid her hastily. Fortunately, he calmed down after a while.

-When Isabella returned to the lounge chair, she didn't need any assistance from the staff. Alexander had

arranged everything perfectly for Isabella, ensuring she could lie down and rest comfortably.

Then, they saw others asking Deborah where Elaine had disappeared.

Deborah also couldn't contact Elaine, so the crowd eventually steered toward the topic of a love triangle.

Zendaya most likely wanted to avoid suspicion, so when Alexander and Isabella were not around, she stood with the service staff.

Only when the couple left the pool did she start servicing others.

The way everyone looked at Zendaya had undoubtedly changed. Although Zendaya was aware of it, she didn't let it bother her much. She simply focused on her own work, not uttering unnecessary words. Although Isabella and Alexander were aware of the situation, they couldn't disclose that Elaine was in the midst of handling a very important matter,

My dad has several mistresses, and my mom has her own outlet for venting, too. Yet, our family remained harmonious. Zendaya's an orphan, so she's a perfect candidate to be my mistress. Moreover, Zendaya is typically well-behaved and always knows her place. It's clear she understands the disparity between our statuses and knows that a future between us is impossible. That must be why she's so insecure and eager to leave me. Her behavior today is also unusual, as if her personality drastically changed after being provoked.
