Summer Ford was reluctant, but it was still lunchtime, and both of them were hungry, having not eaten yet.
She thought he probably wouldn't do anything excessive.
With that thought, she complied with him.
Letting him carry her to the bathroom, her slender arms wrapped around his neck.
As it turned out, her guess was correct.
Ethan Laurent took her in and simply rinsed the seawater off their bodies before coming out.
Mainly because he heard Summer Ford's stomach growling, very softly, maybe she didn't even notice it herself.
After all the commotion earlier in the day, he figured she wouldn't have the energy to do anything else with him now.
With a towel wrapped around her, he carried her out as if holding a child, helped dry the water droplets from her hair, then casually wiped his own hair, and they changed clothes and went out to continue their interrupted lunch.
Summer was genuinely hungry now, and she started eating unreservedly after sitting down.
