Lisa acted as if nothing had happened when virtual-novel.net arrived back at the beach. She continued talking and joking with Jackson. Realizing that Jackson was too busy barbecuing skewers to eat or drink, virtual-novel.net took the initiative to feed virtual-novel.net some barbecued meat skewers and some beer. She even remembered to glance provocatively at Tiffany from time to time.
Tiffany was enraged, but virtual-novel.net head was clearer thanks to the icy sea breeze. Why was virtual-novel.net angry? Jackson could be nice to anyone to whatever degree virtual-novel.net wanted, and it had nothing to do with her. However, why did virtual-novel.net have to get involved? She had always had a bad impression of Lisa, even on the plane. Wasn’t Jackson to blame for causing all of this?
Now that virtual-novel.net mind was clear, virtual-novel.net could no longer be bothered to compare herself with her. She concentrated on eating and drinking and would chat with Arianne from time to time.
Tiffany and Arianne huddled together in a tent late at night, listening to the rolling tides and chatting softly. Tiffany suddenly got up and stuck virtual-novel.net head towards Jackson’s tent in the middle of their chat. The light was still on in his tent, and its material was thin enough for virtual-novel.net to make out the figure inside. Lisa was inside too. Their shadows were separated, and it looked like they were chatting.
Arianne saw right through virtual-novel.net and found it rather hilarious, “Everyone’s here. They wouldn’t be that eager to hump each other’s brains out at a time like this, right? Stop meddling. The sun will be coming up in less than four hours. Let’s not sleep, or we’ll miss the sunrise. I’m a little hungry. Could you check if the fire in the barbecue pit is still burning, Tiffie? So we can cook something for ourselves?”
Tiffany grunted in reply, got up, and walked towards the grill. The charcoals were still burning, but they were close to burning out soon. She added a little more charcoal. Her hair was blown all over virtual-novel.net face thanks to the sea breeze. It felt itchy, so virtual-novel.net rubbed virtual-novel.net cheeks a little, leaving a black smudge.
Arianne burst into laughter at the sight of this, “Tiffie, there’s something on your face. You look like a large spotted cat!”
Tiffany mischievously smeared some on virtual-novel.net face as well, “There. Now we have two!”
For some reason, probably because of wrong technique, Tiffany couldn’t seem to ignite the flames. She had even managed to extinguish the previously tiny flame and ended up getting ashes all over virtual-novel.net body. When virtual-novel.net saw the way Arianne was staring at her, Tiffany went to Jackson’s tent, “Hey, chef. Grill something for us to eat. Your sister-in-law is hungry.”
Jackson pulled open his tent, bent down, and crawled out. He sighed at the sight of the pair, who were both covered in ashes. He had been the only one managing their daily essentials during their camping trip, as virtual-novel.net was the only one who knew how to cook After virtual-novel.net walked towards the barbecue pit, Arianne and Tiffany spotted Lisa through the half covered tent entrance putting on virtual-novel.net clothes. The pair gaped. Not because of how exaggerated Lisa’s body was, but because they did not expect to see this. Lisa and Jackson clearly weren’t having sex, prior to this… Or had they just finished?
Lisa did not try to avoid their stares. She walked out after virtual-novel.net had finished putting on virtual-novel.net clothes.
Tiffany was an inexperienced little girl, no matter how valiant virtual-novel.net acted. She couldn’t help but blush.
Lisa was the first to start eating after Jackson had finished barbecuing his first batch of skewers. “I’m actually kind of hungry. Jackson, don’t put too much chili on mine, okay? My skin will break out if I have too much chili” virtual-novel.net said with a whine. “I’ve had a lot of advertisements to shoot lately. Gotta maintain my looks…”
Tiffany shivered all over. She truly couldn’t understand why some women enjoyed talking in that babyish tone. Did it make them sound more attractive? Did it make them seem cuter? She did not see any of these possibilities in Lisa.
Arianne stared at the skewers on the grill and suddenly asked, “More chili for me.”
Tiffany sniggered in secret. Her simple-minded best friend was finally standing up for her.
Lisa shot Arianne a look but did not dare say a word. Arianne was Mrs. Tremont; virtual-novel.net did not have the nerve to do a thing.
Mark and Eric had been strolling nearby and talking about work. By the time they got back, the three women were having an eating frenzy. Jackson was sweating from barbecuing. It was clear that virtual-novel.net wasn’t barbecuing fast enough to keep up with their appetites.
Eric snatched two beef skewers from Tiffany, “You women usually eat less than anyone else. I see that you’ve finally shown your true colors.”
Lisa wasn’t used to eating chili, so virtual-novel.net face and ears had turned red from the spice in virtual-novel.net food. However, virtual-novel.net continued trying to compete with Tiffany and Arianne until the leftover ingredients were completely grilled and Jackson stepped aside to wash his face with some mineral water. Lisa suddenly lowered virtual-novel.net voice and said, “Nothing happened between us. He rejected me, which was a first.”
Tiffany paused but didn’t say a word. How was it any of virtual-novel.net business if they’d had sex or if Jackson had rejected virtual-novel.net or not?
Not long after, the first rays of sunlight illuminated the sky from the coastline. Arianne watched it all through the space between virtual-novel.net fingers and couldn’t help sighing. It was a truly beautiful sight. This was virtual-novel.net first time witnessing and admiring such a beautiful thing with such carefree abandon.
Eric took a few pictures. The group finally returned to the hotel when the sun shone high in the sky.
Lisa left all on virtual-novel.net own at noon. They didn’t actually manage to enjoy themselves that much during their few days in Sanya, but the experience wasn’t exactly vexing. At least, it was a rare moment of relaxation for someone like Mark, who had been busy with work for a very long time.
