Chapter 329 - Superyacht (2/2)

”Because we didn't tell her early enough so that she can come in person. She said that she will make Jeff pay for this.” Aiden finished in a whisper fearing that Jeff might come and overhear him.

Sarah laughed. ”That sounds like her.”

”How about your parents?” Aiden returned the question to Sarah.

”Stella is happy. Edward is unusually supportive.” Sarah rubbed her chin as if she is trying to understand some mystery.

”Heh... you should hear how much he is praising Jeff.” Sophia explained. ”Ever since he found out how much money he got from our little operation, Edward is a different man.”

”I don't think it's the money.” Sarah shared her conclusion. ”Edward accepted Jeff before he found out information on profits. I remember that on Monday Edward said some very nice things about Jeff.”

”Oh, yes...” Sophia remembered. ”I think you are right.”

Few minutes later, Jeff and JoAnna joined. Both of them had foolish grins on their faces, and JoAnna's face was so red that it reached her ears. No one needed to ask why they got delayed.

Six of them spent the afternoon on the yacht, chatting, swimming and playing games.

Three sisters spent more than half an hour in the lounge area on one of the decks just looking at JoAnna's engagement ring and discussing it. The ring is made of white gold, with pink gold details, and has one majestic heart shaped diamond which is surrounded by smaller round shaped diamonds. The ring is sparkling brightly in the sun, reflecting rainbow colors all around it. The whole sight is very impressive.

Seeing how much Sarah and Sophia admire the ring, Aiden and Felix felt that Jeff set a high bar for them. How are they ever going to compete with this? They both felt ache in their hearts.

Jeff on the other hand, was very proud of himself. Looking at JoAnna happily showing off something he got for her, gave him a sense of big accomplishment.

Later in the evening, it was time for them to get back.

”Anna and I will come back by sea.” Jeff announced while embracing JoAnna. ”We are in no rush to go back.” He looked at JoAnna and his gaze deepened. JoAnna blushed when she felt Jeff's grip on her waist tighten.

”Just don't forget about tomorrow morning. We have plans. Camping, remember?” Aiden reminded Jeff and JoAnna.

Seeing that Jeff nodded, Aiden turned to Sophia and Felix. ”You two? Fast by air or slow by water? We are leaving shortly.” Aiden held Sarah around her waist.

Sophia was interested to explore more areas of the yacht. There is a spa area with a luxurious massaging table she was interested in, but Felix spoke first. ”We fly.” Sophia gave him a disappointed look and he explained. ”I want to visit my sister and talk about that mystery boyfriend.”

”What mystery? You met him.” Sarah chimed in.

Felix froze. ”What?” He does not remember meeting any boyfriend material for his sister.

”Jeff's assistant, Steve. He is the one who escorted us to the rooftop garden, and he was with us during the proposal.” Sophia explained.

Felix was still frozen. 'Yes, Jeff's assistant.' He introduced himself briefly before escorting them up. After that Steve left them and didn't show up on the rooftop until Jeff and JoAnna came. Sophia was so excited about the proposal that Felix got carried away with her and forgot that Bridgette's boyfriend is Jeff's assistant.

Felix forced a smile and tried to sound casual, ”Ah, it seems I was too happy for the newly engaged couple to notice him.”

Felix turned to Sophia and said with an unusual urgency, ”We need to go back so that I can talk with Bridgette.”

”OK”, Sophia reluctantly agreed, sensing that Felix is acting strange. But she was not happy that she does not get to try that massaging table.
