Amelia said that she would think of a plan, but she couldn't think of a good plan. It was just that in the afternoon, she deliberately called Ruby and Noah to go to the hot spring together.
"Let's go over there. Landon mentioned it's more quiet there."
Noah asked, "Aren't we here to have fun? Shouldn't it be lively?"
He dyed his hair back to white, making him look like a cool protagonist in cartoons.
"Are the few of us not lively enough? I've prepared games. Let's play them together later."
"Not bad. It's like a family gathering." Noah raised his eyebrows. However, he froze when he saw Ruby's exposed shoulders because the towel dropped.
There was a red mole on her fair skin, making it look obvious. He was taken aback, but he quickly withdrew his gaze.
When Noah looked over again, Ruby had put the towel back on. When he lowered his gaze, he noticed that her legs were long and slender. It was rare to see such beautiful legs.
"Noah?" Amelia said a few things, but upon seeing that Noah didn't respond, she called out his name again.
Noah snapped back to reality. Then, he realized what he was thinking about moments ago. He thought that he had gone insane.
"What were you thinking about? You were so focused." Ruby raised her head with a faint smile as always.
Noah looked over. The woman this proper and by the book really wasn't very interesting. She was beautiful and smart, but her personality seemed a bit cold.
Kieran had such a personality. No wonder Kieran didn't fall for Ruby. If they were in a relationship, life would be boring.
Noah smiled. "I was thinking that I plan to announce my retirement after the international competition this time."
Ruby was shocked. "Why are you retiring when you're so good at it?"
"Why are you going with her? Don't disturb them."
Noah glanced at Amelia, but she behaved the same as usual. Like the rebel she was, she grabbed Lila's arm and left.
In the room, only Noah and Ruby were left. The atmosphere became hot. Her face was slightly red. "Let's have a dip in the hot spring first. They should be here soon."
"Alright. You should have a dip in the hot spring first. I'll go and get some fruit for you. It'll be hot in a while. Having something cold will be more comfortable." Noah nodded and didn't think much about it.
Amelia put her ear on the door. She couldn't hear anything happening inside. She muttered, "Is the soundproof that good? Are they not chatting?
"Let's forget about it. You should go and look for Uncle Kieran. I'll go and hang out with Landon. We'll meet up again in an hour."
Lila nodded before going next door to look for Kieran.
