Chapter 704 Susan's Intentions

Randall turned around and saw Susan in the middle of the river. He panicked and jogged towards the riverbank.

Susan had rolled up her sleeves. Other kids were playing by the water, some even had their clothes off and were wearing floaties. But Susan didn't stay in the shallow area;

she went to where the water reached her knees.

"Susan!" Randall rarely shouted, but he did now.

Susan flinched at the sound of her name. She turned to see Randall standing by his shoes on the riverbank. "Randall."

"What are you doing?" Randall extended his hand. "Come here!"

Susan stood her ground, not wanting to move. "Randall, I want to play."

Randall's voice grew stern. "If you want to play, do it in the shallow area. What are you doing over there?"

Susan's dress was already wet at the hem. She clutched the fabric and softly said, "I don't want to come up."

Randall was about to take off his shoes to go after her when Vera shielded her eyes from the sun and ran over. "Susan, come to the shallow area. It's too deep there."

"I want to catch fish."

"If you want fish, I'll buy you some. Come up here. What if there's a strong current that sweeps you away?" Vera waved her hand, urging Susan to come back.

Susan looked at the water around her legs but didn't move.

Randall took off his sneakers and socks, rolled up his pants, and waded into the water. "Do I have to come in and get you?"

Seeing Randall come in, Susan quickly headed back to the shore. "Randall, don't come in. I'm coming up."

Once in the shallow water, Randall grabbed Susan's hand. "You always need a scolding! Why did you go in there? There are only students and kids playing here, no fish."
