Chapter 116: Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Good Times Natatorium was one of the more well-known swimming pools in Channing.

There were indoor pools, outdoor pools, kids pools, and a few VIP rooms with private pools.

When Nathan and his family arrived at the natatorium, the first thing they did was head to the store to buy swimwear.

Though the swimwear there was generally more expensive, but there were plenty of choices.

Nathan and Queenie found something for themselves but Penny couldn’t find anything to her liking.

Most women would have chosen something sexy; but for Penny, the more conservative it was the better.

Even her usual sleepwear were those that covered everything.

She was embarrassed just thinking about wearing swimwear in front of Nathan, so she was determined to find the most conservative piece.

Yet there were barely any, so she just gave up and chose one.

Nathan had reserved one of the VIP rooms. The pool there wasn’t too big and was just slightly larger than an indoor hot spring. It was the perfect size for a small family.

Once Nathan, Penny, and Queenie changed into their swimwear, they all got into the pool.

Queenie had a float around her, and she was overjoyed playing around in the water.

On the other hand, Nathan grinned at Penny who looked as shy and as nervous as a young bride. “Honey, I just realized how good your figure is.”

Penny blushed but she enjoyed Nathan’s compliment while she replied demurely, “Oh, come on. It’s not that great.”

Nathan grinned, “You’re slender and tall. And it looks like you have quite the ideal body measurements.”

Ideal body measurements?

Nathan explained that the ideal measurements for a woman was for the length of her body — that is, measuring from the neck to the feet — to be nine times that of the length of her head.

Nathan then grinned and offered, “Would you like me to measure you and see if you fit the bill?”

Penny’s face turned even redder and stuttered, “That’s not a good idea...”

Nathan laughed. “Why not? Come, let me measure you.”

Nathan used his hand to measure the length of Penny’s head, then moved down to measure her legs.

One, two, three...

Nathan’s hand gently moved up against Penny’s calf and eventually reached her thigh. Penny whispered nervously, “Nathan...”

The corners of Nathan’s lips turned upwards as he gently coaxed her to relax.

Just as his hand reached Penny’s thigh, her cellphone’s ringtone started blaring loudly.

Penny jumped to the side. “My phone is ringing. I should get it!”

Nathan let out an exasperated laugh. Who on earth is that?

The call was from Penny’s mother.

Leah had clearly been crying. “Penn, your father is in trouble!”

Penny gasped in shock and quickly asked her what had happened.

Leah sobbed, “Your father and I went out to do groceries. I don’t know how it happened, but we somehow collided with another car.”

Penny was so nervous that she almost lost her voice. “Is my father alright?”

Leah quickly assured her, “Your father is fine, so is the driver of the other car. But the problem is, the car crash had caused an antique that was in their car to break.”

Penny was relieved to hear that no one had been hurt. “Thank goodness everyone is fine. We just pay them for the broken vase.”

Leah sobbed even louder. “We can’t afford it! They said that the antique is a porcelain vase from the Yuan dynasty and it’s worth around two hundred million!”

“They were really aggressive! They’ve grabbed your father and have threatened to kill him if we don’t pay them back.”
