Chapter 1229

Disdain and sympathy were written all over Niles’ face as he stared at

Ivan. ‘Man, your wife is flirting with her ex, and you just stand there and encourage her! Dafuq?*

Debbie pumped the throttle lever three times, and placed it slightly above idle. She turned the key and

waited until the engine caught. They stood there and chatted, letting her engine run for a few minutes.

This also gave Carlos time to check various gauges, and such. When they determined their engines

would run smoothly, Carlos and Debbie piloted their motorboats into position. They decided to make for

the remote coral reef and head back. Whoever hit the shore first would win.

It was time to Launch, and the excitement was palpable. Debbie’s motorboat went off like an arrow.

Water sprayed and hit Kasie’s face.

Kasie was in the water with Blair. This was not what she was expecting, and she sputtered and choked

a bit.

Niles burst out laughing when he saw this. Carlos, who hadn’t set off yet, turned to Look at Kasie

before starting the engine.

Then he looked at Niles in the rear-view mirror. He pointed his boat in such a way that Niles would also

get a faceful. Carlos’ motorboat launched as well, sending a spurt of water straight at Niles.

He was completely drenched, having been hit deliberately. He almost fell, and staggered for a couple

steps.

“Ptui!” He spat out the water in his mouth and stared angrily at Carlos’ retreating figure.

“That’s another one you owe me for, jerk!” he yelled.

Ivan picked up a clean towel and handed it to Kasie.

“Here, dry your hair,” he said softly.

Kasie was at a loss whether to take it or not. She tried to play it off casually, but she was still nervous.

In the end, she took it from him and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

Debbie was in a good mood. She grinned as she glided through the waves effortlessly. Carlos was

nowhere to be found, and she was probably going to win. She howled with laughter.

Hardly had her voice faded away when the roar of another motorboat came from behind her. She

Looked back and saw Carlos.

She got a little worried and leaned into the throttle.

But he passed her easily, waving and grinning as he did so.

Anxious, she yelled, “Hey! Carlos! Wait for me!”

When he heard that, Carlos chuckled and reduced speed. Now they were only a few meters away.

She sped up, trying to pass him, but each time he’d increase his speed so she’d fail. She pouted her

lips and grumbled, “Hey! What about ladies first?”

‘What? Ladies first? Seriously?’ Carlos was dumbfounded.

When he didn’t respond, Debbie felt dejected, so she eased up, and slowed the motorboat down.

“I quit.” They were now fairly far away from the shore. No one would know she was cheating.

Sighing helplessly, Carlos did the same, guiding his motorboat around to face her. He asked Debbie,

who was seething in anger, “Cheating, now?”

“Mmm hmm.” She nodded.
