My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

838 Chapter 837

The South family's boat was tiny, almost laughable against the vast ocean. Just watching it rock with the waves, Keira felt like a single strong wave might overturn it in an instant.

She kept her eyes fixed on the little boat as it gradually drifted toward the cruise ship they were on, coming to a stop just below it.

Without saying a word, she glanced at Matthew for confirmation.

He gave her a nod and said, "I'll show you how it's done, but only once."

With that, he leaped over the side of the ship and dove straight down!

Keira gasped, her breath catching in her throat.

She rushed to the edge to look down. The ship's deck was at least 30 feet above the water. Jumping from that height—if you didn't position yourself just right—would be like hitting concrete.

Matthew, however, dove like a pro. Hands out in front, his form was flawless, cutting through the water like an Olympic diver. He surfaced quickly and swam toward the small boat, where someone immediately threw a cloak over his shoulders.

Then, standing on the boat, he waved her over.

Keira hesitated.

Lowering her gaze, she couldn't help but feel a flicker of worry for Lewis.

They'd never talked about whether he could swim. What if he couldn't?
