First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Stripping for Claire Shaw to See

On the sea, the luxury cruise ship Cupid was sailing.

Today, The Lockwood Group was organizing a company retreat, a five-day, four-night cruise trip.

Usually, Caleb Lockwood would not participate in such company retreats in the past years.

But this year was an exception.

The entire company knew Caleb was doing this for Claire Shaw.

"Serena, aren’t you going to change into a swimsuit?"

In the cabin, Claire Shaw had changed into her pink polka-dot bikini swimsuit, and asked Serena Jennings.

Serena and Claire were assigned to the same room this time.

Claire didn’t request to change rooms.

Serena also didn’t want to bring it up herself.

She wasn’t afraid of anything.

"I don’t feel like going right now," Serena replied.

"What a pity! The water park up there is really fun."

After Claire said that, she happily left.

Of course, Serena knew that the large water park on the deck was the highlight of the Cupid Cruise.

But she knew well enough that if she went, she would see Claire and Caleb flaunting their affection openly.

She didn’t want to watch.

Caleb was never someone who enjoyed water parks.

At least, in Serena’s memory, he wasn’t.

Back in college, when Caleb was pursuing her, she had mentioned wanting Caleb to accompany her to play in a water park.

Caleb refused.

Even so, she naively thought Caleb loved her at that time.

The afternoon sun was abundant, it really wasn’t a suitable time to keep herself cooped up in the room.

Serena hesitated for a moment but still went up on deck to sunbathe.

On the deck, the large water park was bustling with people, even though the cruise had only The Lockwood Group’s staff aboard, the pool was as crowded as dumplings in a pot.

Among so many people, Serena spotted Caleb at a glance.

In all the time since she and Caleb got married, this was the first time she had seen Caleb in a swimsuit.

Perhaps, as the CEO of The Lockwood Group, he was mindful of his position and didn’t want to be too bare in front of employees.

Today Caleb wore a set: a black swimsuit with swimming trunks.

Even without exposure, his physique was impressive beyond words.

Beside him, Claire was playfully splashing water at him with a smile.

Caleb was not to be outdone and picked up a water gun to retaliate against Claire.

Their playful and bantering interaction made them seem like a couple in the throes of romance to any observer.

Serena had never seen this playful side of Caleb before.

In their three years of marriage, it seemed their interactions were limited to the bedroom.

Was she too boring?

Or was it simply because Caleb didn’t love her?

Serena sighed lightly and turned to leave.

On the first day of the sea cruise, the evening event was a gala party.

Serena hadn’t prepared a new dress; she brought the one she had worn at the last annual party.

But it wasn’t the three-million-dollar dress from ZM.

That dress had wine spilled on it by Owen Warren, leaving a stain at the chest that was unremovable.

Back then, Caleb gave her a new one.

Serena had never been too concerned about dresses, she didn’t want to buy dress after dress unless necessary, so she brought the one Caleb gave her this time.

With the dress prepared, Serena went into the bathroom to take a shower and then blow-dried her hair.

When she came out, the dress was still hanging in the closet, but the skirt had been cut with a pair of scissors into a large gash.

Only she and Claire were in this room.

Serena hadn’t expected Claire to do something so childish.

In the banquet hall, the cocktail party had started.

Everyone from The Lockwood Group was there.

Except for Serena.

Claire, dressed to the nines, stood alongside the suited Caleb, they were the perfect couple.

Inside the Cupid Cruise, there was also an indoor pool, and Serena was swimming there now.

Unable to enjoy the water park and not able to attend the party, shouldn’t she at least be able to swim without being disturbed?

And so it was.

Serena couldn’t remember how long she had been swimming, when suddenly someone appeared in the lane next to hers.

The person had on a swim cap and goggles, and with her peripheral vision, Serena couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman.

The person was swimming freestyle.

So was she.
