Seeing that she wanted to go, Jonathan naturally agreed.

of them went back to get their swimsuits and then headed to the pool.

T community was full of properties bought up by wealthy people as investments, so the Occupancy rate was low.

As a result, the massive swimming complex was empty–just the two of them.

Estella thought the quiet was nice.

She looked over at Jonathan and teased with a smile, “Mr. Bennett, you’ve kept yourself in great shape.”

Jonathan’s frame was tall and lean. In clothes he looked slim, but without them, he was all toned muscle.

With her eyes lingering on him like that, he suddenly felt uncharacteristically self–conscious.

actually embarrassed to have her looking at him?

Estella couldn’t believe it. Was this ma

Her mind drifted to the actor Gustin..

People always said that for a man to stay appealing, he needed to avoid coming off oily, keep that sense of boyish youthfulness, and–best of all–carry a little shyness about romance and a touch of insecurity about his looks.

Well, today she’d just seen it firsthand.

Estella asked him, “You’re not suddenly regretting coming to swim with me, are you?”

Jonathan didn’t look at her. Not even once.

“Of co

se not.”

Estella teased, “Then why won’t you look at me?”

Jonathan jumped into the water, his tone firm. “Didn’t we come here to exercise? Let’s get started.”

Estella laughed and followed him in.

He really had only come to swim with her seriously.

In that moment, she understood why she always felt so safe with Jonathan.

Because he was such a serious, upright man.

She never had to worry about him taking advantage of her.

In fact, she could even tease him a little.

Monday at noon, Estella was getting ready to go out for lunch with Selene.

On the way, Selene mentioned she was thinking about signing up for a boxing class.

Selene said, “Do it! I just started seeing this younger guy, met him through boxing. I can recommend him to you. And let me tell you, his muscles are pretty damn nice, haha.”

Estella’s mind flashed back, unbidden, to Jonathan at the pool–his physique, fit and impressive.

Her cheeks grew warm.

Selene laughed, “Why are you blushing? These days men can’t wait to show off their abs every chance they get. You must’ve seen tons of those clips online. Don’t tell me you’re still shy, haha…”

Estella gave a helpless smile.

She wasn’t shy.

It wasn’t like she had never seen a truly fine body before.

Taking Selene’s advice, Estella really did sign up for a class and began learning.

After two weeks of training, she felt she had grown another step forward.

One afternoon, she went out to eat with Selene again.

Suddenly, they ran into Kevin.

Estella hadn’t expected him to still be hanging around. She looked at him coldly.

“Mr. Chunk, missing the feeling of me beating you up?”

Kevin licked his lips. Remembering that day when she had thrashed him, he didn’t feel humiliated at all. In fact, he thought Estella had been thrilling–more exciting than any woman he’d ever known.

He smirked. “That’s right. I was thinking, maybe you could pin me down again and hit me

some more. I won’t even fight back this time.”

He was already plotting. This time, he’d take away her weapons first. Maybe slip something into

her drink.

Estella gave a cold laugh. “Mr. Chunk, you really are pathetic.”

evin was thick–skinned. “What’s wrong with that? Chasing a woman isn’t about saving face. So

it if I act shameless?”

Selene could tell instantly that he was some spoiled rich playboy.

Seeing him pestering Estella, she frowned. “She already said no to you. Didn’t you hear her?”

Kevin brushed it off. “A persistent man always wins the woman. How do you know she won’t be moved?”

Selene threw up her hands. “What a ridiculous superstition. Why do so many men treat that kind of nonsense as gospel and cling to it for thousands of years?”

The truth was simple: unless a woman liked a man, she wouldn’t keep seeing him.

If she refused, that meant there was no chance.

Selene wished she could etch that truth into the brains of all those average, self–deluded men.

Estella told her, “Don’t bother with him. Let’s

go.”

Kevin’s eyes roamed over Estella, his tone dripping with arrogance. “Estella, do you understand? If you’re with me, your life will be completely different.

“Right now, you’re carrying a bag worth less than a thousand bucks, wearing clothes that don’t even have a brand name anyone’s heard of. You don’t own a house, you don’t own a car. And you think that by working hard, you’ll eventually live rich?

“You’re wrong. The world’s wealth is held by a tiny handful of people, and it almost never trickles down.

“If you want to fight like a man to build a life, then until you’re old, you’ll never succeed. But if you’re with a wealthy man, it’s completely different.

“That’s the shortcut. I can give you the best life. You’ll have the world’s top designer bags, clothes, and jewelry. You’ll have houses and cars.

“And if you want to start your own business, that’s even easier. With just one word from me, whichever company you want to acquire–you’ll have it.”
