334 The swindler

The car halted on the roadside. They were still in the northern part of the country and the places they passed were as beautiful as White Falls Village.

There was a scenic waterfall near the road where they stopped.

Alex turned the ignition off and climbed out of the car when Abi looked at him, surprised.

"Alex?"

"Since we're here, why don't we spend the rest of the day in leisure and relax? It will be quite boring if we arrive at the palace too early," he told her. "Come swim with me, Abigail."

Abi glanced at the inviting water. The blue lagoon below the waterfall looked so clear and beautiful. It was hard for her to ignore its call.
