Chapter 747 - Defense (2)

Vincent took a glance at Jaquan, "Armando has no reason to do this for Jaquan, unless... he also needs to ask Jaquan for a favor."

"What is it?" Emily was confused.

"We will know only when he comes ashore," Vincent said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Collin couldn't help but look at Vincent. He had heard of the legendary name of Vincent but had never met him before. Now, he believed the stories. Vincent was much more thoughtful and smarter others. Jaquan was lucky to have such a brother.

Jaquan, the lucky one, had already brought his people and ran outside. Suddenly, someone on the ship shouted, "Behind!"

Hearing that, the crowd ran back along the deck, passing through a long passage which seemed to be endless. Janessa stumbled to catch up. As soon as they arrived, they heard the man on the ship shout, "He has circled around, go back! Go back!"

Everyone had to run back again, and the sound of panting echoed in the entire passage.

They returned to where Armando had jumped down and waited for a while before they saw Armando climbing up with a rope. He was drenched and had worn nothing but an underwear, which Janessa had picked up and placed on his bed last night.

Armando went ashore and saw Janessa standing in front of him. He was about to kneel down on one knee when Janessa rushed over and slapped him.

The crisp sound of the slap shocked everyone present.

"Are you crazy?" Janessa was trembling with anger, "Armando, why do you jump down? Are you good at swimming? Can you give up your life for your friends? Have you lost your mind?"

"Don't cry." Armando wiped her tears. He was cold out of the sea. His fingertips were cold as ice and chilled Janessa.

She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her face. She could not help but cry out loud, "You madman! You almost scared me to death... lunatic..."

Armando hugged her, "I'm sorry... sorry... Don't cry..."

Jaquan patted her on the shoulder and then draped the only clothes he had over her body.

Janessa was still trembling from fear. Armando picked her up by the waist and carried her back to the room after greeting the others.

They were no longer in the mood to make fun of the new couple. Some went to the third floor to watch movies, some went to drink, and some stayed in their rooms.

Emily, Sydnee, and Christy were chatting about the previous episode.

Sydnee exclaimed, "I was also worried about him. We are in the middle of a sea! He is really bold!"

"I think he is confident, so I am not too worried." Christy said calmly, "He knew martial art and seemed to be good at swimming."

"How can you see that?" Emily asked.

Christy looked at her and said, "From his breath, gait, and figure. Take an example, I can hear Mr. Ferne's breathing from here, but I can't hear my brother's, because he has been trained to breath long and steadily. Moreover, his back is straight at any time. And the muscles on his arms. If he can't swim, it will be a waste of his muscles."

Emily followed her line of sight and saw that Ferne and Noah were talking. Ferne laughed heartedly while Noah only smiled.

"What are they talking about?" Sydnee asked curiously, "Look, Mr. Ferne is laughing happily."

"No matter what they talk about, Mr. Ferne is very happy to be with my brother anyway." Christy blinked.

Emily did not know what to say.

Nor did Sydnee.

Vincent and Trevor stood on the deck, chatting. But Collin, Korbin, and Roger, who came to join them, could not understand a word.

Dorothy was smoking at the side. The sea breeze was strong on the deck. She had only taken a few puffs before the cigarette was blown away. She lit two cigarettes and smoke together.

"That's not what we meant." She took a puff of her cigarette and looked at the sea, "If he is willing to jump, we should stop him. After all, this is just a test of sincerity. We are happy for Emma's marriage. If we make her lose her husband, Deon would chop us and throw us into a fire."

Korbin did not speak.

Roger smiled, "What's the big deal? We will explain to Emma latter when she comes out. Isn't it a big day today? Why does everyone have a long face?"

"She won't come out, right?" Korbin said with a frown.

"You bet?" Dorothy turned around and pointed to a direction, "Isn't she already out?"

People on the deck all turned around.

They saw that Emma and Jaquan had already changed their clothes. Next to them was Armando, who had changed into a suit, and Janessa, who had changed into a skirt. Janessa had also redone her makeup, but her eyes were a little red.

She walked to the crowd and said, "I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions just now."

"It's fine. We should ask for forgiveness." Dorothy apologized on behalf of Korbin, "Korbin looks cold, but he means well. He was just joking with Jaquan. We didn't expect... he would be really so bold."

Roger waved at Armando, "Bro, have a drink with me. I really admire you!"

"No," Armando said lightly.

"Come on!" Roger had never been rejected before. He thought that Armando was just shy. He took Armando to the dining area and took out a few bottles of wine.

Janessa hastily walked over, "If you want to drink, I can drink with you. He is not good at drinking."

Roger was surprised, "Your pair is really interesting. Good, drink! One is a real hero, and the other is an iron lady. I am impressed! Cheers! When you get married, you must invite me! I like you!"

Janessa didn't reply and finished the alcohol in one gulp.

Seeing she drink quickly and urgently, Armando knew that she has not really recovered from the shock and fear. He silently poured himself a glass of wine and slowly drank it up.

After finished the bottle, Janessa found that there was a group of people on the deck. She waved to the crowd. "It's boring if we just drink. Let's play games."

Ferne, who was chatting with Noah, spat out the drink in his mouth.

"Mr. Ferne, come on." Janessa raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously at him.

Ferne was silent.

"Be a real man!" Janessa shouted.

Ferne was provoked.

The next second, he came and sat down on a chair. But soon he got cold feet. He whispered to Noah, "Bro, save me later."

Noah responded in a barely audible voice.

Ferne was relieved.

Randy, Ferne, Jaquan, and the others did not know Janessa well enough. They only knew how good she is at tongue-lashing, but they did not know that she had another side.. She would adamantly defend her loved ones.
