"Just how rich Nubia's family is," Jess said as she stood at the foredeck, looking at the remote island their touring boat was heading toward.
"It's just a small island, though. That's what Nubia-senpai said when I asked the same question before."
Unthought as it was, Jeff's remark earned him a questioning glare from Jess as she glanced over her shoulder.
"You've been on the island before with Nubia?"
Despite already approving of being in a relationship with Nubia, Jess still couldn't help but feel envious of the time Jeff and Nubia spent together during high school, and annoyed by the fact that Jeff had ignored and avoided her during those years.
Sensing Jess's sour mood worsening, Jeff embraced her to calm and restrain her at the same time. After all, Jess was still glaring at Cindy from time to time, clenching her fists in irritation.
"That bitch is stalking you for real, idiot."
"Just ignore her for now, Jess."
