Chapter 451 Punting

Silas stopped himself from bursting into laughter. “Oh. I didn’t get enough rest!

Ellen heard this when she walked in with dishes in her hand, she chuckled and responded, “I knew it.

I’d be surprised if you had enough rest.”

At this moment, Gianna was rendered speechless. It’s his own problem! It has nothing to do with me.

Why is his mother looking at me like that?

Seeing the embarrassed look on Gianna’s face, Ellen proceeded to explain calmly and moderately, “Silas’s not good when it comes to sleeping in a new environment. Whenever we stayed here in the past, he’d always end up not getting enough rest. Gianna, please don’t overthink it.”

Gianna giggled, she did not overthink at all.

At this point, South winked and asked, “What’s fun here on the island?”

Silas responded, “There are all kinds of recreational facilities here like on the mainland-whether it’s water sports, powerboats, or motorboats. You can punt or even swim!”

South exclaimed happily, “Let’s go punting!”

“Sure.”

After they ate something, Brian stayed back to be with Ellen while Silas took the two to the resort.

Gianna did not feel good about this arrangement as it was a rare opportunity for Silas to come here to spend time with his mother, but now it seemed like he was taking the two of them on vacation.

“Silas, you can send us back later, so you can spend more time with your mother. I can bring South out on my own.” Silas frowned slightly. “It’s fine. It’s not like she’s alone. Can you please stop trying to push me away? You are my wife and child; who else would I rather be spending time with?”

As he spoke, he put his hand around her shoulder. “Stop thinking about it. We are on vacation!” Gianna did not know how to respond.

After a car ride and more than half an hour walking, they finally reached the resort.

She could tell that this island was very large and the available facilities were quite complete; it was no different from the high streets on the mainland-perhaps even better. Where they were right now was a place where you could get anything-food, entertainment, relaxation, and shopping. As long as one named it, one could definitely get it here. Meanwhile, knowing their destination, they headed straight to the theme park. Since South wanted to go punting, they went to the man-made lake in the theme park and hired a boat. To attract more customers, the business owners had placed many huge and colored balls on the lake-each signifying a gift.

Now that there was an element of competition, it would naturally attract more customers. Seeing the lake now, there were indeed several people punting

After the three got in the boat, Silas and Gianna were responsible for punting while South would use the net to catch the balls.

Even though punting seemed easy, in practice, it was a lot more difficult as Silas and Gianna could hardly synchronize with each other, so the boat ended up moving in a circle in its original spot. Then, South became slightly annoyed. “Are we just going to keep circling this spot?” Silas looked at Gianna before turning to the land. Much to his surprise, it seemed like they had managed to move a good distance away from the land this way “Should we find someone to teach us?”

Gianna sniggered. “Do we really need someone to teach us how to punt? Are we that bad?” South responded, “Follow my lead. Whenever I say ‘Go’, you’ll punt, and when I stop, you’ll stop too!” Silas and Gianna looked at each other skeptically. “Are you sure this will work?” South was unsure about his plan either. “Let’s try it then. I’ve played a game like this before. The boat will start moving in a circle when one person punts harder than the other.”

Then, South appeared professional as he began to command, “Listen to me. Go… Go…” Then, Silas and Gianna began to punt in synchrony, and the boat started to move forward. Eventually, all three of them got very excited, and South had found the secret to it, which was exactly like the game he played before. As such, he treated it as a game as they continued punting,

When they were about to make a turn, he would say, “Mom, you’ll stop punting for a minute while Uncle Silas continues!”
