Chapter 184

A splashy swimming session had everyone’s cheeks aflame, except for Everard, who remained as nonchalant as ever, as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred beneath the waves.

It was only when Cordelia felt her lungs screaming for air that Everard released her, and the pair broke the surface, finally able to stand and speak.

Cordelia scowled. “You can’t swim?”

Everard nodded. “No, will you teach me?”

A silent rant passed through Cordelia’s mind. Figures, the guy’s all charm and no substance, a real pretty boy

“Really?” Cordelia hadn’t felt a thing since he’d sucked all the air from her lungs. “Is that so?” she asked, puzzled.

Everard’s eyes narrowed, about to speak, when Cordelia piped up, “Let’s try again. You give me air this time, and I’ll see if it works.”

“Sure.” Everard’s gaze held a hint of amusement, but he watched as Cordelia dipped back under the water, and he followed suit…

Half a minute later, they surfaced again, and Everard asked, “Did you feel it?”
