These bikinis dazzled her. Serena Sterling looked up at Leah Thorne. Leah suddenly came to this private yacht and was so close to her. Could it be... Leah already knows she is the real Serena Sterling? But, how did Leah know? At this moment, as if they had a psychic connection, Leah lifted her bright eyes and looked at Serena, saying casually, "I didn’t expect Caden to have grown up so much; I really didn’t care for him in vain. He actually still remembers me as his godmother." Could it be Caden notified Leah to come? It seems that Caden had already recognized her the night at the villa. Serena’s heart suddenly warmed; after all, he is her son, biological! Serena’s heart was much calmer. She fears nothing except the fact that the real and fake Serena might hurt her children. Now it seems her worries are unnecessary. When she’s in danger, her kids are already able to handle things on their own. Serena curved her red lips, then directed her gaze to those bikinis, shaking her head at Leah, "What if... I don’t wear them?" Leah pushed Serena in front of the mirror, "See for yourself, who’s the beauty in the mirror. You have the face and the figure; not wearing a bikini feels like such a waste. Besides, you’re only in your twenties now. Are you planning to wait until you’re in your nineties to wear one?" Serena couldn’t refute a single word. Leah is indeed the darling of fashion, a queen of merchandise endorsement; her level of persuasion is truly high. Leah picked out a bikini and stuffed it into her hands, "Wear this, go change!" Serena and Leah both changed into bikinis, applied a layer of sunscreen, made themselves look polished, and went outside half an hour later to play in the boat cabin. The wind at sea was cool and pleasant, many beauties in bikinis were playing on the deck, feeling the wind, taking beautiful pics, sipping champagne, and chatting with friends. It was a very leisurely vacation time. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net The arrival of these two instantly captured everyone’s attention, causing quite a stir. "Look over there, that’s Leah Thorne!" "Wow, what divine treat is this today, letting me see Beauty Thorne in a bikini!" "Who’s the beauty next to Beauty Thorne? That figure is just incredible." Leah picked for Serena a goose-yellow bikini, with no extravagant patterns, just the color of a newly hatched yellow oriole. Precisely because the color is too delicate, no one dares to handle it, but Serena’s skin looks like snow, her aura is enchanting and pure, as clear as the color she’s wearing, as the most spring-like shade, as pure as water. While Leah wore a floral bikini, being coddled by Justin Xavier, she’s a refined and soft young lady, and the vibrant patterns were effortlessly held by her, fully displaying her fiery charm. Whether it’s Serena from the south or Leah from the north, anywhere they go will make them the center of attention. But, both wore a thin chiffon cloak matching the bikini, not completely exposing themselves. Leah’s already accustomed to the attention, she pulled Serena to the front, "Serena, let’s stand here and take a picture, I want to post it on Instagram." Leah took out her phone, and Serena sweetly flashed a V sign to the camera. Leah posted on Instagram, and soon a few young gentlemen approached them, actively striking up conversations, "Beauty Thorne, what a coincidence to meet here. Who’s this beauty by your side?" Justin Xavier, Hayden Crawford’s good brother, also arrived at the private yacht. He held some red wine while chatting with a few promising young business talents. Those young business talents greeted him with enthusiasm and respect, Justin sipped his wine, his attitude somewhat indifferent. Beside Justin was also a pure and pretty young girl named Rose Alden, an adopted daughter taken into the Xavier family by Mrs. Xavier. She’s been living there ever since. Rose Alden was now 18, and her eyebrows looked very tender and naive. She wasn’t very accustomed to such occasions, sorting timidly behind Justin, her demeanor greatly resembled Leah from many years ago. "Brother Justin~" Rose called out to Justin. Justin remained indifferent and didn’t look at Rose. Just then, Hayden Crawford arrived. As Hayden came over, he handed his removed black suit to the waiter, wearing a black shirt and pants, exuding handsome and nobility. He walked over with his long legs and arrived beside Justin. These two men together, standing under the dazzling lights, were simply the most striking scenery. Justin casually looked at Rose and spoke, "Go back to your room first." "Alright, goodbye, Brother Justin." Rose obediently left. Hayden turned to Justin, "Is that Rose Alden your new sister?" "She’s forced onto me by my mom." "Mrs. Xavier is truly amusing; she still thinks her son only loves his sister-type girls. Seeing your heart has stayed with Leah but can’t be pulled back, she promptly adopted a daughter, and gave you a sister. Mrs. Xavier is really dedicated in trying to break you and Leah apart." Justin’s throat shifted, swallowing the sip of wine in his mouth, then he parted his thin lips, "You really like seeing my jokes?" Hayden raised his long eye tips slightly, leaking the maturity of a grown man, "Is Leah not upset with you?" Justin looked at Hayden, and these two men are top-tier gentlemen, wrapped in shirts and suits exuding an aura of restraint, but who could have guessed they’d be discussing women here. "She won’t be upset. She hasn’t replied to me for a long time now." Hayden, "...I sympathize with you." As soon as he finished speaking, a sweetened voice sounded at the ear, "Hayden Crawford, I’ve arrived." Hayden turned, and Melody Ashworth had arrived. Melody had already changed into her bikini, now eagerly looking at Hayden, even twirling around, "Do I look nice?" Women love to be complimented on their beauty, especially by the man they admire. Melody wore the bikini specifically for Hayden Crawford. Coincidentally, today Melody and Serena wore matching outfits; Melody was also wearing that goose-yellow bikini. Hayden glanced at the Melody beside him, then furrowed his heroic brows, like a sensation of looking at something irritating, "This outfit doesn’t suit you; it seems a bit like you’re trying too hard to look young." Melody, who was eagerly awaiting Hayden’s evaluation, froze entirely; his words of trying too hard to look young echoed in her ears repeatedly. Melody already possesses Serena’s exquisite little face, and she is young and charming, but sadly this goose-yellow color is extremely selective. Her skin isn’t comparable to Serena’s, nor is her aura; in the eyes of Hayden, who has high tastes and standards, she indeed seems to be trying too hard to look young.
