Chapter 411

With that one glance, their delicate faces flushed with a rosy hue, and they shyly lowered their heads. Their minds started to wander, and their hearts were

palpitating wildly.

They knew Jack could play basketball and was agile, but they never expected his physique to be this perfect.

Feena couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to touch Jack's muscles.

The gunshot wound on Jack's shoulder only left a faint mark, so the ladies didn't notice it.

"The wind is getting stronger. Get into the cabin!"

Jack thought about it and suggested, "The two of you should stick together. That way, you can keep each other warm."

The night had slowly fallen. The tides were high, and the wind was strong.

Jack noticed the ladies were scared, so he said, "You can go to sleep. I'll watch the night."

Someone needed to steer the boat in such strong winds and tides, and it was a job only Jack could do.

Thanks to the transformation in Jack's body, he had become incredibly strong. This level of cold wind was nowhere near enough to affect him. This text is hosted at find⸺novel.net

The ladies felt inexplicably assured at Jack's instruction.

Jack was the kind of man who could give women a strong sense of security. Even though they knew they had to wait until the sun rose to navigate, they stopped moving around, entered the cabin, and kept each other close to keep warm.

Feena and Phoebe wrapped their arms around each other tightly. Feena couldn't see the expression on Phoebe's face. She listened to the waves crashing and felt a calmness she couldn't explain, knowing Jack was here to protect her.

She couldn't sense any fear, but she was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

It was late in the night. Feena tiptoed cautiously, observing Jack quietly.

The night was dark, but with the help of the starlight, she could clearly see Jack's face.

He was focused, effortlessly steering the boat through the rough waves.

Although the boat seemed insignificant amidst the towering waves, Jack still tried his best to keep the boat steady so that she and Phoebe could rest peacefully. Feena couldn't help but feel for him.

Wouldn't he feel cold?

After all, he was shirtless and had to face the piercingly cold wind. However, Jack's posture remained upright. He wasn't shivering, and it was as if he was unmovable.

Then, was he feeling lonely?

They were surrounded by the vast sea, endless and boundless, as if swallowed by eternal darkness.

No one kept him company. How could he not feel lonely?

Feena's mind wandered to the artificial lake at Alnewgo University. She mustered the courage to confess her feelings then, but eventually, she didn't.

Without her knowing, a lot of time had passed by.

Suddenly, a large wave crashed, and the boat violently shook. Jack swiftly stood up, trying his best to steady the boat.

"I'll keep you company," a gentle voice sounded in the dark.

Feena stood up, the gentle breeze carrying her fragrance toward Jack. She walked over and sat beside him. In the darkness, her eyes shimmered like stars. They were breathtakingly beautiful.

Jack was taken aback. "The wind and waves are too strong. You should head back to the cabin."

Feena shyly shook her head. "I can't sleep. Aren't you cold?"

Jack shook his head. "I'm not! The night is really dark. It'll scare you."

Feena courageously shook her head and said, "I'm not scared."

She wanted to tell him she wasn't afraid because he was here, but the words hanging at the corner of her mouth never left it.

It turned out that she would become so shy once Jack became someone she cared about the most.

Jack was surprised by her response. "You're pretty bold."

In reality, Feena was timid, but she felt safe with Jack around.

However, she didn't explain herself.

Feena switched topics, asking Jack about his school life and relationship with his girlfriend.

When she mentioned Bella, a gentle glint lingered in Jack's eyes. "We're doing well."
