Big Novel

The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1427
They went to a clear area near the island for snorkeling based on their agreement last night. As they arrived at the island, Billy
explained, "This island is called Heart Island because it's heart-shaped, and thanks to its crystal-clear water, a lot of coral reefs
and tropical fish are visible while snorkeling. It's a breathtaking view, and if you're lucky, you might even find the special
moonstone of this island. Yes... it's the kind of moonstone that lights up at night that we thought only existed in movies."
"Is there really a moonstone here?" Leia became excited when she heard that, and couldn't wait to go snorkeling.
She'd heard that Heart Island housed oysters that made beautiful pearls that could be sold for sky-high prices, but the
moonstone Billy talked about had always been just a legend. 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.
