Chapter 207


    Bary’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he swam to the edge and got out of the


    water.


    He had said he wouldn’t look, and he didn’t.


    After getting out of the pool, he went straight to the shower, leaving Moira alone in the pool.


    Without Bary around, Moira felt less embarrassed. She quickly swam to the edge and got out.


    Her dress was wet, making it heavy and clingy.


    Standing by the pool, Moira watched the water dripping from her body. For a moment, she didn’t


    know whether to go inside or to the shower.


    But soon, Bary returned with a towel.


    He wrapped it around her and said, “Go inside now, don’t catch a cold. I’ll pick up the ss for


    you.”

    “It’s not…” Moira sighed inwardly. There was no point in exining further. Her embarrassment


    couldn’t be hidden.


    She nced at him apologetically. “Sorry, Mr. Covington.”


    For some reason, whenever she was near him, inexplicable things happened!


    Bary chuckled. “Sorry for what? You didn’t hit me.”


    Moira did not reply and decided to remain silent.


    Moira tightened the towel around her. “I’m going to take a shower and change, Mr. Covington!”


    Before she could finish her sentence, she ran off, leaving a trail of water behind her.


    Bary watched the white silhouette disappear, thinking about her alluring legs beneath the dress.


    His eyes narrowed, and he turned to jump back into the pool to retrieve the ss.


    Meanwhile, Rose had finished preparing dinner and assumed Moira was in her room. Just as she


    walked into the living room, she saw Moira running in, dripping wet.


    Rose was startled. “Mrs. Covington, what… what happened?”


    “I… went for a swim,” Moira replied, refusing to admit she had fallen into the water.


    “Wow! You two are so healthy! Swimming is great for exercise!” Rose eximed.


    Moira nodded without changing her expression. “Yes, swimming is a great exercise. I’ll take a


    shower and change, Ms. Graham! You can go home after dinner. It’s not early now!”


    Rose said, “Of course. Please go take a shower and change quickly. Don’t catch a cold!”


    Moira agreed and quickly ran upstairs.


    Half an hourter, Moira came downstairs after showering, only to notice the ss ced


    prominently on the central ind.


    Moira was speechless. He didn’t need to put it in such a conspicuous ce!

    Bary had already sat at the dining table. He wore a loose white shirt and ck trousers. His hair


    was still damp and tousled, giving him a more carefree appearance than usual.


    Moira took her seat across from him and epted the soup he offered. “Thank you.”


    Bary responded nonchntly, then nced at her. “Did you run into anyone familiar this


    afternoon?”


    Feeling a bit hungry and having just sipped some soup, Moira looked up at him and replied, “Yes, I


    ran into an unpleasant person.”


    She didn’t want to tell Bary about the encounter with Barbara. It would ruin her mood, and there


    was no need to spoil his mood either.


    Changing the subject, Moira said, “By the way, my father’s birthday ising up. I n to buy him


    a watch and have dinner with him.”


    “Okay, I’ll have Linden buy it,” Bary said casually.


    Moira said, “Oh, there’s no need. I’ll buy it myself. I’ll just…”


    Before Moira could finish her sentence, she heard Bary say, “Since you’re my wife, we can’t give


    your father an ordinary watch. It’s not easy to buy a collectible watch, so let Linden take care of it.”


    Moira was taken aback. “Isn’t that very expensive?”


    She did not have such a high budget!


    Bary looked at her amusingly. “Do you think I would let my wife pay?”


    Moira mumbled, “I don’t think that’s a good idea…”


    Bary added, “Isn’t it worse to deceive your father?”


    Moira was at a loss for words. “I’ll listen to you.”


    She would have to save up slowly!
