Chapter: 1745
According to the tales, people who found the moonstone on Heart Island would live a smooth and happy life, and if it was true, Leia wanted to find it and give it to Renee.
�Of course! An islander here saw it many years ago. Although it�s very rare, it�s there,� Billy patted his chest and said confidently.
�What are we waiting for? Let�s go!� Leia couldn�t wait any longer and boldly suggested,
�Hey, why dont we go scubadiving instead? If we dive around five or six meters deep, we�ll have a greater chance of finding the moonstone.�
�Agreed.� Xavier raised his hand and said, �Snorkeling is fun and all, but we can explore more of the area if we go diving.�
�Same here. My lungs are pretty good, and I can hold my breath for a few minutes underwater.� Skylar raised his hand in agreement too.
He had earned the nickname �The Flying Fish� from winning many swimming matches, so naturally, he wasn�t afraid of underwater activities.
Santiago was the only one who remained silent throughout the discussion.
�What do you think, Mr. Dalton? Do you want to go snorkeling or diving?� Billy asked Santiago, who was frowning uncomfortably.
�I� I�ll go with whatever Lei wants.� Santiago was worried because he�d had a middle ear surgery before and couldn�t withstand strong pressure. If he went any deeper than five meters underwater, it might be dangerous for him, but he reluctantly agreed to it because he didn�t want to miss a moment with Leia.
He�d always wanted to hold Leia�s hand and watch the starry sky with Leia in the sea, so he�d have to do this sooner or later.
�Okay, let�s sign the consent forms since you�ve all agreed to it. Anyone who finds the moonstone will get a thousand points and enjoy a beach dinner with his or her crush!� Billy declared excitedly.
Leia rolled her eyes and grumbled, �You guys really know how to spike the view count.�
After that, they went to the diving area and changed into their diving suits.
The diving instructor explained, �As you all know, we use a buddy system when diving because anything can happen underwater. In case of an accident, our buddy might just save our life, so make sure your dive buddy is someone you�d trust with your life.�
Xavier glanced at Santiago and sneered, "Til see you on the battlefield.�
They had been fighting over Leia subtly, but this was the first time they would compete openly for her.
Dive buddies would rely on each other completely, and both of them wanted to be that person for Leia.
Naturally, Xavier wouldn�t lose such an important position.
�I want Skylar to be my diving partner,� Santiago ignored Xavier and said to the coach calmly. His words shocked both Xavier and Leia, Xavier even more so. JrNovels.com
