Chapter 737
Clearly, Donald didn't bother being nice to him.
Pietro narrowed his eyes and asked arrogantly, “What? Are you looking down on me?”
“Of course not. I just happened to dislike orange juice.”
With that, Donald went over to join Jennifer.
It's natural for women to chat incessantly whenever they meet.
Donald didn't mind. They could chat all they liked while he enjoyed the hot spring and kept other men away from Jennifer.
However, Donald had just relaxed when Pietro took off his boardshorts to reveal his dark blue swimming trunks before he sauntered over to the ladies.
“Hello, gorgeous ladies. What are you talking about? Can I join you?”
Pietro wasn't standing next to Jennifer, but he was too close to Minnie which inadvertently placed him in close proximity to Jennifer as well.
Jennifer wanted to move aside, but she was next to a huge stone and couldn't move at all.
Right then, Donald appeared at the right timing.
He reached out and pulled Jennifer into his embrace, positioning themselves across from Minnie and
Pietro with a respectable two-meter distance between them.
Minnie gave Pietro an angry slap. “What are you doing here? We were trying to chat privately. Why did you come and interrupt us?”
Pietro said brazenly, “We came here to enjoy the hot spring, so it's not fair for you to exclude us from your conversation. Mr. Campbell doesn't speak much, and we don't have many topics in common.”
“Stop that nonsense. You're both of the same sex, so there must be something in common to talk about,” Minnie responded.
It seemed that she was chiding him, but she was actually defusing the situation on behalf of Pietro.
Pietro's blunt and ostentatious manner often caused offense to those around him.
However, Minnie had high emotional intelligence and would often diffuse tense situations whenever Pietro's direct words offended someone else.
Pietro directed his attention toward Donald and asked, “Do you enjoy wearing short-sleeved tops in the hot spring, Mr. Campbell? Haven't you noticed the odd looks people are giving you?” This remark disrupted the tension that Minnie had just managed to ease.
Other men were wearing swimming trunks with bare torsos, but Donald was wearing cartoon swimming trunks paired with a thick white short-sleeved top.
It wasn't against the rules to wear short-sleeved tops in the hot spring, but his outfit still managed to attract attention.
Calmly, Donald replied, “I'm not like you. An uproar might ensue if I were to remove my top.”
Pietro thought Donald was foolish because he believed that no matter how muscular Donald was, removing his short-sleeved top would not cause an uproar.
“What uproar? Are you scared people will take photos of you?” Pietro roared with laughter. “Don't worry, Mr. Campbell. My friend is the owner of this hot spring, and no one is allowed to bring their phones into the hot spring area. Come on, remove your top. Don't be shy.”
Pietro was pretty confident in his own body. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Having lived abroad for years, he followed strict foreign standards for his diet and training, resulting in a body that was more akin to a foreign bodybuilder's physique and was more perfect than most people in the country.
Pietro insisted on Donald removing his clothes because he was confident that Donald's frame was not as impressive as his own.
Donald could be muscular, but his frame was smaller than Pietro's, and therefore he would not look as good as Pietro.
Jennifer chimed in, “Darling, why don't you take off your top? You'll get to be more comfortable in the
hot spring too.”
“Okay.”
Since his wife had spoken, Donald had no choice but to cave in.
