Chapter 356:

After changing into her swimsuit, Belinda wrapped herself tightly in a towel and descended the stairs at a reluctant pace. The backyard pool gleamed in the sunlight, and Lucas was already there.

Lucas moved effortlessly through the water, completing a few laps before emerging from the pool. The sunlight cast a golden glow over him, accentuating his tanned skin, defined chest, and firm muscles. Droplets of water glistened as they trailed down his body, making it almost impossible for Belinda not to stare.

Belinda didn’t move. Lucas arched a brow, his tone laced with teasing impatience. “Do you need me to go there and invite you personally?”

“Stay where you are! I’ll get in myself!” Belinda quickly said, stopping him before he could make a move.
