Chapter 328:
There was a trace of curiosity in Rupert’s eyes as he looked at the woman in his arms.
It seemed there was more to his fiancée than met the eye.
But he decided against asking her about it. It was better if Annabel took the initiative to tell him.
What he liked was her, not her identity or her family background.
And now wasn’t the time to think about these things. They were getting closer and closer to the surface of the sea.
Annabel craned her neck to look around and spotted a few small islands in the distance.
Her eyes lit up excitedly. Before she could tell Rupert what she had seen, he spoke first.
“Anna, look over there! It’s an island p>
“Yes!” Annabel nodded. “I was just about to point it out p>
Chuckling softly, Rupert whispered in her ear, “It seems we have a connection p>
As soon as he finished speaking, he playfully nibbled on her earlobe.
A wave of electricity spread from that spot, making her whole body go limp. Annabel’s cheeks turned as red as tomatoes. How could he still flirt with her at a time like this?
“Stop it.” She turned her head to look at the island in the distance.
If there was fresh water on the island, they would have a chance at survival. But she didn’t know how long it would take them to reach it by swimming.
Would the food Rupert packed be enough for them?
Would her grandfather receive her distress signal and save her?
Annabel was deep in thought when Rupert’s voice suddenly pulled her back to reality. “Can you swim p>
Step into new worlds with gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․çоm
“Yeah.” Annabel nodded.
Rupert took a life vest from his backpack and carefully helped her put it on. “We’ll swim to the island over there as soon as we hit the water p>
“Sounds like a plan,” Annabel answered lightly. Inwardly, she prayed they would be lucky enough to be spotted by a passing ship.
The two of them slowly descended. Soon, Annabel could see the white peaks of waves on the sea.
The sea looked boundless. The breeze blew and stirred up the water, the waves roaring at them ominously.
Seeing this, Annabel grew nervous again.
Although she knew how to swim, there were all kinds of dangers lurking beneath the surface.
“We’re about to hit the water. Hold your breath!” Rupert timed it perfectly. Just before they hit the water, he tied his life vest to Annabel’s and unfastened the parachute.
Holding each other tightly, the two of them plunged into the sea.
Instantly, salt water filled Annabel’s mouth, making her cough violently.
“Anna, are you okay?” Rupert turned to look at her worriedly.
