Chapter 630 Deserves To Be Doted On

He's draping a towel over me on this sweltering day devoid of a refreshing breeze because he's afraid I'd catch a cold?

Sighing softly, Gwendolyn intertwined her hands and cradled her head, embracing the decision to not expose him.

Ten minutes later, the previously lively and bustling main swimming pool was cleared, and all the guests were relocated to the smaller pools.

For those who were hesitant to depart, the generous owner provided a full refund, essentially granting them a complimentary time of leisure.

It didn't result in any loss for the guests, but the swift clearance of the main pool left many with waning enthusiasm.

The speedy clearing of the pool was noticeable to many residents of Turlen, and they could discern the presence of an influential figure among the two couples. Yep, we can't afford to offend them.

Cedrick concluded the massage for his beloved wife with a sense of accomplishment. "How about we head for a swim now, Gwenny?" he proposed. Gwendolyn raised her heavy eyelids, almost surrendering to the blissful massage that had left her feeling drowsy.

Meanwhile, the man tenderly removed the towel, carefully turning her over and embracing her in his

arms.

Gracefully striding toward the pool with his long, muscular legs exposed, Cedrick carried his wife with pride and gently lowered her into the water.

In those fleeting ten minutes, the pool water had been swiftly replaced by the diligent staff, ensuring its pristine clarity.

The heat that lingered on her body dissipated as she immersed herself in the refreshing water. A sense of pure bliss washed over Gwendolyn, and she beckoned to Inez, who was still sulking on the lounge chair by the poolside.

"Come over here, Inez. How about we play a round of water polo?"

In response to Gwendolyn's beckoning, Inez swiftly rose from her seat and gracefully lowered herself into the water, her hand delicately gripping the railing. Without casting a single glance at Kieran, who was engrossed in peeling grapes, she immersed herself in the pool.

"Come join us, Kieran!"

Kieran, being sufficiently tactful, finished the last grape, wiped his hand clean, and joined them in the

Water

Fueled by lingering resentment, Inez chose not to team up with Kieran, which resulted in Gwendolyn partnering with Inez, leaving the two gentlemen on the opposite side of the net.

As the game commenced, both men displayed their gentlemanly manners, allowing Gwendolyn the honor of serving the first ball.

She toyed with the ball in her hand and playfully addressed her brother, "You know me, Kieran. I ranked among the top three in national water polo competitions. If I were to defeat both of you, would it be considered shameful for you two? Well, I hope you won't perceive it as an unfair advantage or as me taking advantage of newbies."

Kieran paused, slightly startled.

Among the Harris siblings, it was Treyton who had been the standout in water polo, even earning a second-place ranking nationwide.

On the other hand, Kieran had always been dedicated to his studies and the pursuit of medicine, leaving him completely unfamiliar with the sport.

He couldn't help but feel a tinge of embarrassment, knowing that he was about to face another potential defeat in front of Inez.

Just as he was thinking. Cedrick quickly picked up the conversation. "Darling, it appears that you haven't had the pleasure of witnessing my water polo skills. How about we have a friendly competition and make a little wager?"

On the opposite side of the net, Inez chose to maintain her silence, knowing well that she was a novice in this game and not adept at playing.

Judging by their confident posture, it was clear that Gwendolyn and Cedrick were skilled players. I'd better not put myself on the spot by provoking them!

A charming smile tugged at the corners of Gwendolyn's lips as she asked, "All right. What do you want to bet?"

In a deep and alluring tone, Cedrick proposed, "If I win, I'd like for you to grant me a one-minute underwater kiss."

The other three individuals in the pool were momentarily taken aback, recognizing Cedrick's knack for seizing opportunities to his advantage.

Though Kieran felt a touch of bashfulness, he couldn't help but share in the anticipation of the underwater kiss mentioned by Cedrick. Joining in, he added, "I'll wager the same as Cedrick."

Gwendolyn glanced at the two men on the opposite side before settling her gaze on Cedrick's handsome face. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile as she spoke.

"As for the exact terms of my wager, I haven't quite made up my mind. But, Mr. Jenson, you should be prepared. If you happen to lose, you must be willing to accept whatever punishment or training I propose" Any punishment or training?

Cedrick's back tensed, and the smile on his lips faltered ever so slightly.

In a pool in the capital of Turlen, right before Kieran and Inez, Gwendolyn couldn't possibly be suggesting....

His mind started to wander down a mischievous path, causing his handsome face to flush with a tinge of red and his cars to burn.

Sensing the man's prolonged silence, Gwendolyn deliberately cleared her throat, bringing his wandering thoughts back to the present. "Are you chickening out. Mr. Jenson? Afraid to take the bet?" she teased. Cedrick didn't consider his actions as a sign of cowardice; it was more about being cautious.

He cleared his throat with a hint of uncertainty and asked, "What kind of punishment are we talking about? Is it... going to be quite severe?"

Gwendolyn's twinkling eyes exuded a mischievous charm as she playfully raised her voice, "Didn't I mention that I haven't decided on the specific punishment? But rest assured, it will be something truly unforgettable, guaranteeing that you, Mr. Jenson, will forever remember this trip to Turlen."

Cedrick's jaw tensed as he found himself caught in a difficult predicament.

In the presence of Kieran and Inez, he felt the need to maintain his pride. Taking a deep breath, he reluctantly responded. "Very well. In order to win this bet, I won't go easy on you, Darling."

"I don't need you to," Gwendolyn retorted with a hint of pride.

Subsequently, the attention in the pool shifted toward Inez as she was the only one who hadn't declared her wager.

After careful consideration. Inez voiced, "I haven't decided yet. Why don't we just start the game? We can figure out the wager once someone wins. It's just a game after all, and I won't ask for anything too harsh as a punishment."

And so, the impromptu water polo match began.

Cedrick had never mentioned the fact that he had always been a skilled athlete. From his childhog military days, he had always excelled in sports, particularly water polo.

Winning seemed to be second nature to him, and he was determined not to accept anything less thin victory in this match.

Given the contrasting physique and strength between the burly soldiers in the military and the petite stature of Gwendolyn and Inez, it was apparent that the two women would face some physical challenges during the match.

To make it fair, they decided to play for a total of seven points.

In the first three rounds, Cedrick genuinely didn't hold back and steadily secured three points for his

team.

During the fourth round, due to Inez's lack of skill and experience in the game, she didn't contribute much.

However, Gwendolyn's determination soared, enabling her to push through despite her waning stamin and win one point.

Noticing his wife struggling to catch her breath, Cedrick couldn't bear to see her exerting herself so much.

He realized that the match had been quite unfair for Gwendolyn and Inez from the beginning.

Deliberately, he opted to serve with just one hand, subtly going easy on them.

Gwendolyn managed to secure three consecutive wins on her side. However, each victory was hard-fought and took a toll on her energy.

If the match turned into a grueling back-and-forth battle, the disparity in stamina would become

apparent, placing the women at a disadvantage.

Gwendolyn had to give her all to secure those three points, while Cedrick effortlessly secured his three points, showing no signs of fatigue.

The tension heightened as they approached the final point, the ultimate decider of the winner.

Despite that, Gwendolyn found herself hesitant to serve the final ball. Deep down, she sensed that Cedrick's water polo skills far surpassed her own, and she suspected that he'd intentionally conceded the previous three points.

Gasping for breath, she mustered the determination to challenge him. "Cedrick, this is the last point, and you better not hold back. If I am to win, I want to win fair and square. If my skills are no match for yours, then I'm willing to accept defeat."

"All right. Whatever you say, Darling," the man replied with a tender smile.

Upon receiving his response, Gwendolyn lifted the ball and propelled it toward the other side of the net with a swift and graceful trajectory.
