Chapter 206
Moira knew that Barclay had a good figure, but she didn’t realize it was this good!
She watched as he approached her step by step and swallowed inexplicably.
When she realized what she had done, Moira’s ears turned red, and the blush spread from her ears to her cheeks instantly.
Soon, Barclay reached her, and Moira instinctively took a step back.
“Looking for me?” he asked while looking at her in the eye.
Moira glanced at his abdominal muscles and suddenly felt thirsty again. She quickly brought the glass to her lips and took a big gulp of water before replying, “Just taking a stroll.”
“Oh,” Barclay replied nonchalantly, then turned and jumped into the pool.
As the splashes reached Moira, some landed on her skirt and some on her feet.
It was refreshingly cool, unlike the scorching heat above her head.
Moira’s gaze followed Barclay as he swam, his freestyle strokes accentuating the muscles on his body.
Moira subconsciously touched her slightly protruding abdomen and flabby arms. Maybe… she should go for a swim too? Of course, not now.
Moira pretended to drink water while standing there for a while, but she unconsciously finished the water in the cup.
Feeling embarrassed, she returned to the villa.
Rose was surprised to see her. “Mrs. Covington, when did you come back?”
Just as Moira was about to reply that she had been back for a while, Rose added, “Mr. Covington seems to have gone swimming. You should inform him that dinner will be ready in twenty minutes.”
Moira replied, “Okay.”
Moira reluctantly returned to the poolside.
Barclay seemed tired, resting by the edge of the pool.
“Mr. Covington, Ms. Graham said dinner will be ready in twenty minutes,” she informed him.
Barclay looked up at her and said, “Okay.”
Moira felt a restrained desire in his eyes. She blinked and looked into his eyes again, finding them as cold as ever. Was it her imagination?
She did not overthink about it. Feeling awkward squatting there, Moira subconsciously lifted the empty glass to her lips, only to realize there was no water left. “Then, I’ll go inside first,” she said.
Barclay diverted his gaze and replied softly, “Alright.”
Moira stood up after crouching for a few minutes. Then, she felt dizzy but with nothing around to support her. Her vision blurred, and her hand instinctively waved, causing the glass to fly out of her hand.
‘Oh no!‘ Moira realized the glass had flown out, but she didn’t have time to think and instinctively tried to grab it.

When she missed the glass, she plunged into the water.
As the water splashed around her, Moira emerged from the water, her eyes meeting Barclay’s gaze directly.
Was she not supposed to be here but underwater?

After a moment, Moira suddenly realized that jumping into the swimming pool wasn’t the most embarrassing thing. The most embarrassing
thing was that she was wearing a dress today!
Her dress was a versatile piece, which could be worn either tight with a belt or loose without it.
She had worn it tight when she went out, but she found the belt cumbersome when she came back, so she had just taken it off.
So, her current situation was that her entire dress was floating up!
Obviously, Barclay noticed the problem too. “I won’t look,” he said.
Moira blushed. “Uh… thanks?”
She sighed inwardly, feeling utterly exhausted.
