Shiela got lost in her thoughts while gazing into the vast stretch of the sea, thinking about all those things Andy had said. A sound of laughter made her turn around. To her amusement, Andy also glanced up and their eyes locked for a moment before both of them turned to where the laughter came.

Shiela could never fathom the absurdity of the situation, seeing how they could laugh together as if nothing happened. A few hours ago, Ryan was fuming in his disgust over Jullien's outrageous seduction, and now, he seemed to be basking in his adoration for her. Wasn't she sleeping as Andy said a while ago? Probably, Ryan woke her up. How could he afford to leave her alone after all? The thought of this tormented her again.
