To his surprise, Flossie Wright hooked her hand around his neck, pulling him under the water. She was always agile in her moves, using both fists and feet, but Glenn Hutchinson was, afterall, the captain of the special forces. He was not someone to be easily defeated. Thus, their struggle turned into a rather even match.
It was obvious that Glenn Hutchinson wasn’t utilising his full strength.
Her sight was momentarily obstructed by her hair floating randomly in the water. This brief interruption disoriented Flossie Wright for a moment. By the time she reacted, Glenn Hutchinson had seized her wrists, leaving her with no chance to retaliate.
Flossie Wright ground her teeth in frustration as she perceived Glenn Hutchinson’s somewhat provocative stare. She shot him a disgruntled glance.
She didn’t realise that her irritated demeanor was remarkably contrasting to her usual calm self. Her cheeks slightly puffed due to holding her breath, her narrowed eyes filled with disgruntlement, and her mood being openly displayed. Seeing her in a mood to literally tear him apart appeared somewhat ’cute’ in Glenn Hutchinson’s view. Of course, had Flossie Wright known that he considered her ’cute’, she would definitely not have willingly surfaced with him.
The water they were brawling in wasn’t too deep. They surfaced within a moment. The two of them, dripping wet and practically clinging to each other, Flossie, having expended nearly all her energy during the struggle, gave up and propped her arm onto Glenn Hutchinson’s shoulder, using his strength to stay afloat.
Having held her breath for too long made her lungs uncomfortable. Breathing deeply the fresh air, she noticed Glenn Hutchinson so casually holding her waist, throwing her a relaxed look, nonchalantly asking, "Are you satisfied now?"
Flossie Wright narrowed her eyes, while the fury at the bottom of her eyes disappeared in a flash. Her piercing gaze swept over Glenn Hutchinson’s deep-set face.
She seemed alright on the outside, but she involuntarily tightened her hand that was hanging in the water.
She actually fought him...
So childish!
"Did I upset you?"
Grabbing his collar, Flossie Wright’s gaze was more scrutinizing now. If Glenn Hutchinson failed to give her a good enough reason, chances were she may get into another brawl with him.
He appeared out of nowhere and that would have been it, but why did he pick a fight with her for no reason?
Knowing what Flossie Wright was alluding to, Glenn Hutchinson’s countenance gradually turned serious. He met Flossie Wright’s gaze confidently, yet his heavy brow betrayed him, "Why would you jump from such a height?"
Though he had hinted Flossie Wright to jump, he thought she knew her limits and would prioritise her safety. He didn’t expect her to be reckless enough to plunge from a spot over forty meters high.
Flossie Wright was somewhat bewildered, gradually relaxing her hand that was resting on him. Yet her waist was still wrapped by his arms. She furrowed her eyebrows, responding indifferently, "Thrill."
No one knew her abilities better than herself.
She wouldn’t die if she wasn’t fated to. Even if she miscalculated and died, it was none of his business.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt his grip around her waist tighten. The next moment, Glenn Hutchinson was abruptly leaning close. Their distance was mere inches apart, even their breath seemed to intermingle. His imposing aura was overwhelming, intensifying the chill in Flossie Wright’s eyes.
"We’re in the forces," Glenn Hutchinson uttered slowly, his composed tone yet striking deep within her soul. His deep, dark eyes seemed to peer right into her heart, as if they could absorb her very soul. Though, he involuntarily softened his expression, "You need to start considering others."
