Chapter 572:
The compliment caught Janice off guard, her eyes widening in surprise. Since when had he become such a smooth talker? Not that she minded.
“This swimsuit is also very unique, perfectly matching your style,” Aiden continued, as if plucking the thoughts straight from her mind.
“I had no choice. The swimsuits provided by the show were too ugly, so I had to make my own,” Janice said, spreading her hands in an exaggerated gesture of resignation that somehow managed to be both graceful and playful.
It was then that Aiden caught sight of Stephen standing off to the side. His expression darkened into a frown as he took in Stephen’s appearance. “Are you sure it’s okay to wear that?”
Stephen turned to Janice with puppy-dog eyes. “I trust Janice. If she says it’s fine, then it’s fine.”
The scene began drawing attention as other guests noticed the trio by the villa. But their gazes bypassed both Janice and Aiden, fixing instead on Stephen with undisguised amazement.
Stephen’s outfit had rendered them speechless, their faces a perfect tableau of confusion.
Stephen’s face remained the same handsome one—calm, composed, and yet somehow kind. Just seeing it brought a sense of joy.
But the real surprise was what he was wearing. A diving suit?
Yes, a full-on diving suit! All he needed was an oxygen tank, and he’d be ready to dive in.
Everyone stared, completely stunned by the sight, some even slapping their own faces as if trying to wake up from a bizarre dream.
The nation’s heartthrob, Stephen, was now dressed in a diving suit, hiding his strong chest and toned abs. It was as bewildering as seeing a supermodel in a parka.

Stephen could feel the weight of everyone’s confused stares. Even with his strong ability to handle pressure, he couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
“Maybe I should change back. Wearing this for the show feels so strange.”
“No way!” Janice shook her head, her gaze unwavering as she met his. “You need to keep this diving suit on until the show’s over. You’re injured, after all.”
Stephen felt a bit helpless, but he knew Janice had good intentions.
“But how do I explain this to everyone?”
“I’ve got it covered,” Janice said with a confident smile.
“Is Stephen hurt?” Aiden asked, confused. “Even if he is, he doesn’t need to dress like this, does he?”
“It’s a little complicated. I’ll explain later.” Janice gave Aiden a glance. She had already noticed someone approaching, likely intrigued by Stephen’s outlandish outfit.
Aiden nodded, sensing there was more to the story, and stepped aside without question.
“Janice, what’s going on with Stephen?” Maggie blinked, her curiosity evident as she studied Stephen. “Why is he wearing this?”
“Looks like he’s afraid of drowning since he can’t swim!” Daniel laughed loudly as he swaggered over. “Seriously, Stephen, how can someone as well-known as you not know how to swim?”
