章 158: Rival

Tired out, the kids sat down beside Wendy on the bank.

When Leah said she was thirsty, Wendy removed the lid from the jug of water that she had brought with her earlier and handed it to her.

After the kids had drunk a mouthful each, Wendy found herself also feeling thirsty and drank a mouthful too from the jug.

Michael walked towards them, wiping the perspiration from his face with his hand.

When he saw them drinking, he realized that he was feeling thirsty too.

Noticing his gaze on the jug of water, Wendy passed it to him in silence.

Michael looked at the jug with suspicion.

It was the type of see-through jug usually used by people in the rural areas, nothing spectacular in design.

Since it had been in use for a long time, the glass had turned yellow with age, making it look dirty.

"I'm not thirsty," Michael said awkwardly.
