Chapter 4 

Hearing the shout, Caleb finally snapped back to reality. 

Realizing that Nova was still thrashing helplessly in the pool, he frowned deeply. Just as he/reluctantly prepared to dive back in, another figure sliced through the water.- 

Nova was faking it, but her body was currently heavy and out of shape. The wild thrashing had genuinely drained almost all of her energy. 

Suddenly, she felt a pair of incredibly strong arms wrap around her, lifting her securely toward the surface. 

Startled, Nova turned her head and was immediately met with a flawless awline. He had sharp, attractive lips, a strong nose, and narrow, intense eyes. His long lashes fluttered slightly against his luminous skin. His cold, melancholic features looked like a masterpiece crafted by God 

himself. 

Alaric Langdon? 

Why was he saving her? 

n her past life, she had zero interaction with Alaric. He and Caleb had always despised each other, their relationship completely toxic. 

Right now, Alaric was still the unacknowledged illegitimate son of the Langdon family, while Caleb was the legitimate golden boy. As a result, Alaric was heavily ostracized at school. 

But who could have predicted that in just a few short years, this quiet, gloomy teenager would be exposed as the eldest son of The Garrison Family, the most powerful business dynasty in Harborview? 

Pushing down her shock, Nova allowed Alaric to set her safely on the edge of the pool. 

Standing nearby, Caleb immediately sneered at her. “Nova, if you can’t

swim, don’t try to show off!” 

‘Caleb, let it go…” 

Sylvie said the words softly, but her face twisted into an expression of ɔrofound grievance. 

Nova knew exactly what was coming. Just like in her past life, Sylvie was about to blame her for the accident. Moving faster, Nova scrambled over and threw her arms tightly around Sylvie. “Sylvie, thank God you’re okay! You completely terrified me out there!” 

‘I… I’m fine…” 

Caught entirely off guard by the sudden embrace, Sylvie choked on the accusations she had been ready to spew. 

A moment later, Nova pulled back, looking utterly heartbroken. “I didn’t <now how to swim, and I accidentally pulled you down when I lost my balance. I feel terrible. But Sylvie, please, next time, don’t just grab my waist underwater like that. It completely panicked me.” 

Hearing this, Sylvie’s sweet smile vanished completely. 

Everyone knew that grabbing a beginner’s waist out of nowhere in deep water was basically attempted murder. 

nstantly, the crowd began casting highly suspicious looks in Sylvie’s direction. 

Even Caleb’s brow furrowed slightly.

Sylvie desperately backpedaled. “It was my fault, it was an accident… I’m so sorry, Nova. I almost got you hurt.” 

Seeing a beautiful girl like Sylvie welling up with tears of guilt instantly melted Caleb’s heart. 

He completely forgot to question whether her actions in the water had been intentional.

‘You don’t need to apologize to her. She brought it on herself.” Caleb 

Julled Sylvie up and shot Nova a freezing glare. “If you can’t swim, stop being a burden to everyone else.” 

‘Caleb…” 

‘I’m taking you to the nurse.” 

Caleb wrapped an arm around Sylvie protectively, treating her like absolute royalty. 

Watching the scene unfold, Nova just let out a self-deprecating laugh. 

They had grown up together, yet Caleb unconditionally took the side of a girl he had only known for a year. 

Nova, oh Nova. You were completely blind in your past life to throw your entire existence away for a man like this! 

But thankfully, fate had given her a second chance to fix her mistakes. 

Caleb, in this life, you can keep your damn engagement!
