Chapter 435
“Susan, drop the fish!” Natalie yelled.
“Oh!” Susan threw the fish behind her.
The eel immediately turned to chase it.
Susan collapsed onto the sand, on the verge of tears.
Oh my god… that was terrifying. Danger was everywhere.
First, she cut her foot on a seashell, and now she was being chased by a moray eel.
That eel was insane, chasing its food right onto the shore.
Marshall ran over with a bucket and helped Susan up, watching as the eel devoured the fish.
He was shocked. Was it this… dangerous even on the beach?
“Holy crap, Susan, it’s not even safe on the sand. I think I’ll skip fishing. We can just wait for the finished product. Getting bitten by an eel would be no joke.”
Susan was scared too. That had genuinely terrified her.
“Mr. Spencer, for safety’s sake, let’s just fish from the yacht. That eel almost jumped out of the water and bit my face. It was horrifying. Let’s get back to the boat,
quickly.”
Susan was so scared that her eyes welled up as she looked at Marshall.
Seeing her tearful face, he felt a pang of sympathy. “Okay, okay, we’ll go back to the boat. I agree, that was terrifying.”
The two of them carried the lobsters back to the yacht.
Sean shook his head with a smile. A single moray eel had scared them both off.
Sean loved fishing. He stood casually by the shore, and soon after casting his line, he got a bite. He excitedly reeled it in and saw it was a grouper. He grinned.
Ah, if only he could come here to relax once a month, it would be perfect.
He couldn’t even remember the last time he’d had a proper night’s sleep in the past two years.
Meanwhile, Sebastian swam in the ocean the whole time.
He watched as Natalie brought up fish after fish, waiting by her side to collect them.
In that moment, Sebastian felt a sense of relaxation he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
He hadn’t felt this at ease in ages.
Coming here had been the right decision. At least they weren’t at each other’s throats.
“Phew…” Natalie surfaced, holding a large cuttlefish. “Sebastian, quick! This one’s huge. We can stir-fry it tonight.”
Seeing so much fresh seafood, Natalie was so excited she forgot she was supposed to dislike Sebastian.
She was here to relax, not to fight.
Sebastian looked at her flushed face and smiled. “Natalie, don’t you want to take a break?”
Natalie shook her head. “No, I spotted another lobster den. I want to get them first.”
With that, she plunged back into the water.
Sebastian watched her joyful figure, a smile playing on his lips.
A gentle look filled his eyes as he watched her swim happily.
After hours of diving, Natalie was finally exhausted.
She came ashore and looked at the dozen or so pieces of seafood she’d caught She turned to Sebastian “Sebastian I’ll sell you ten of these for a million dollars. Don’t forget to send me the money.”
Natalie took off her goggles,
revealing faint red marks around her
eyes. Sebastjan frowned. “Alright.
have Sean transfer the
money wher
We get back. I’ll add another hundred
thousand if you take care of dinner tonight.”
Hey, who would say no to more money?
Having money was great.
As the saying goes, only a fool turns down good money.
“Deal. We’ll handle dinner. I’m going to take a shower and a nap. I need to go out
again tonight to catch more fish.”
Natalie walked lightly back to the yacht.
Sebastian watched her go, then glanced at his injured arm. His
expression darkened she bally”
didn’t care about him anymore.
Before, if he’d so much as gotten a paper cut, she would have fussed over him for ages, using only the best medicine.
