Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 176. Faithful Husband

Philip jumped into the water. As fast as lightning, he swam and hugged his wife. “Baby? You okay?”

Barbara coughed as her head came out of the water. After scooping her face, her red eyes trembled at Philip.

“Sharks…. There are sharks near us, Phil. Why are you going into the water? Come on, get out of here.”

Barbara tried to turn the kayak over with her little strength. Instead of helping, Philip cupped her cheek with one hand. “Hey, look at me. Don’t panic, okay?”

“How can you not panic? We’re swimming with sharks, Philip!”

Barbara’s eyes were full of horror. When a fin appeared again, she immediately hugged him tightly. She broke down sobbing.

“Philip, I don’t want us to die. We just got married. There are sti many things we have to do.”

Philip rubbed Barbara’s back. He whispered like a mother com her child. “Don’t cry, Babe. Don’t be afraid. It’s not a shark.”

Holding back a sob, Barbara looked at Philip. “Not a shark?”

“Yeah, didn’t you see it when it jumped out just now?”

Barbara shook her head. “My eyes were closed earlier. I was too

scared to look.”

“It’s black. Are there black sharks?”

While biting her lips, Barbara shook her head. Her eyes occasionally glanced to the side, checking to see if any fins were approaching.

“If that’s not a shark, then what is?”

“Orcas.”

“Orcas?”

Philip nodded. “Killer whale.”

Barbara widened her eyes. “Killer whale? Killer?”

She pushed the kayak again, trying to turn it over. “Come on, Phil! Help me! Why are you staying still? Don’t let the whale kill us!”

“Babe….”

“What?” Barbara turned her head. A rising fin broke the water behind Philip. After a blink, the creature jumped again.

“Philip!” Barbara quickly hugged her husband. Her body jolted as the whale made waves. It’s like they were pushed away.

“Oh, what should we do? It’s like we could be swept away. Or worse, the whale will eat us! Philip!”
