Chapter 42

The moment Aurelia turned on the tap, water gushed out from the seam of the shower head like a fountain.

She was caught off guard and could not react in time. Leslie instinctively raised his hand to shield her, but it was too late. In just a few seconds, they were both thoroughly drenched. Aurelia squinted her eyes and struggled to turn off the tap. She then turned to see water droplets on Leslie’s hair.
