Chapter 5

Author: I Hate Peppers
Joy’s mind went blank.

During that time, Samuel deepened the kiss, and he called out a name hoarsely, “Yelena…”

So, he was drunk and thought she was Yelena?

Joy snapped out of her daze and hurriedly shoved Samuel off of her before she ran out.

Fortunately, he did not chase after her.

The next day, after Joy left the guest room, she saw Samuel approach her with a scowl.

“Why was I in your room?”

The impatience and suspicion in his voice made her pause. When she saw that he did not remember anything that had happened last night, Joy wanted to tell him, but Samuel interrupted her coldly, “Did you get me inside? Joy, I already told you that it’s impossible between us. Besides, I’m about to get married. Haven’t you given up?”

Joy was stunned before she ducked her head and said nothing.

There was no need for it. Her love for him was a crime. To him, no matter what she did, she was in the wrong.

When he saw her tear up and say nothing, Samuel’s breathing deepened for a bit. He wanted to go over when a gentle voice called out from outside. “Samuel!”

Yelena walked in. Just as she was about to throw herself into his arms, she suddenly saw something, and her smile froze. “Why is your lip broken?”

He instinctively touched his lip before he gave Joy a meaningful look. In the end, he said, “It’s nothing. A mosquito might have bitten me.”

Then, Joy no longer had any time to talk with Samuel alone. He was busy with Yelena while she was busy practicing.

One day, while she was repeatedly practicing a difficult move, Helen suddenly brought Samuel and Yelena over.

“Everyone, please stop for a moment. I’d like to introduce you to Yelena Jones. She’s a dancer Mr. Foster brought over. Please welcome her.”

While everyone clapped, Helen looked at Joy, who stood at the outermost layer of the crowd and said, “Joy, you’re the lead dancer. Please teach Yelena.”

After the introductions, Helen respectfully brought Samuel and Yelena over for registration.

The moment the doors swung shut, the dancers started talking.

“Didn’t Yelena audition for our dance troupe in the past and failed? Heh. She’s really Mr. Foster’s fiancee, alright. With just a word from him, she managed to join.”

“To think that we fought tooth and nail to get into the dance troupe. We really can’t compare to her.”

Those words of jealousy kept spilling out of the dancers. In the distance was Joy, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor. She looked into her own reflection, and her mind drifted for a moment.

No one else knew Samuel more than she did. He was an aloof man with principles, and he cared about obeying rules the most. Even though he was a man of great power, he never abused it before.

For the first time ever, he had made an exception for Yelena. By the looks of it, he really loved her.

From then on, Yelena joined the dance troupe, and Joy became her instructor.

Due to Helen’s instructions, Joy taught Yelena seriously, but Yelena refused to listen. Not only was she not serious when learning how to dance, but she looked for all sorts of excuses every day to not join practice so that she could leave early.

On one instance, before Joy could stop her, Yelena disappeared, so she could only call out to her through the window, only to see Samuel pick her up.

They shared a deep kiss before they went into the car.

Joy did not stare at them for long. She calmly shut the window and continued practicing.

    The words of truth made Samuel shut his eyes slowly. All the other words he wanted to say became lead on his tongue, and bitterness spread in his mouth.Suddenly, he remembered how Melea had been unable to sleep at night all those years ago due to fear.With a teddy bear in hand, he would sit beside her bed and tell her bedtime stories.At the end of his story, he would put the teddy bear by her pillow and say softly but firmly, “I’m the same as this bear and will always protect you. I won’t ever hurt you. You’ll always be the most important person to me.”Delight flashed in Melea’s eyes, but she soon looked down. “You’re definitely just saying that to make me happy.”“I’m not. Let’s make a pinky promise.”“Okay. If you actually hurt me in the future, I won’t talk to you anymore!”Tears fell from his eyes, and Samuel looked at the woman before him.But she had started walking down the mountain.“Melea!”Melea paused for a moment, but she did not turn back.Even so, Samuel re

    The sun started rising, and the fog in the mountain where the church was located started rolling in. Thick bundles of clouds mingled with the fog and made the path up blurry.Melea and Solomon slowly walked up the stone path and headed to the church at the top of the mountain.Not far away, they heard the church bells ring.The church had a tall old tree, and the stone path was covered in moss. As the wind blew, leaves fell and let out crisp sounds. The bells that hung off the eaves trembled.Melea sucked in a deep breath and sat on a stone bench in the corner while she watched Solomon look around like a curious child.It should have been beautiful, but Samuel’s arrival ruined it.‘Seriously, he just refuses to leave me alone.’ That was Melea’s first thought when she saw Samuel walk over to her.“Melea, can we talk?”Perhaps Martha’s words left an effect on him, because he knew that he had been too impatient.Melea did not actually want to talk to him, but then she remembered

    Yelena was already displeased when she heard what Samuel said, and when he yelled at her, she decided to stop hiding.She stepped out of her hiding spot and went over to grab Samuel’s arm, but Samuel avoided her.She gritted her teeth and looked over at Melea. After sizing her up, her eyes landed on Melea’s legs, and she said, “Our dance troupe originally got an offer to perform at the Graham family. Practice was going well when our leader suddenly came over and told us that the performance was canceled.“I asked, and it’s because you don’t want to see other dances because you can’t dance anymore. Seriously, if you can’t watch other dances, then don’t. Why did you have to cancel the performance? You caused so many people to be unable to get any money from this gig. You’re still as selfish as ever!”“Quiet!”“Shut up!”The men shouted at her. Samuel even slapped her despite her being pregnant. Yelena fell to the ground, and her stomach clenched in pain. “Ow! My stomach!”Melea

    Samuel was stunned by the question. He opened his mouth.But what was he going to say? Was he going to say that he only realized his feelings after she left and wanted to mend things with her?As for Yelena, he could chase her away after she gave birth. In any case, they had never collected their marriage certificate.He gulped and stared at the woman standing behind the two men.It had only been half a year since they last met, but her dull eyes were already full of life. It seemed like she lived a much better life than when she was at the Foster family.“Melea, I’m sorry. I should never have treated you like that.”“I thought that I didn’t like you, but after you left, I finally realized that you’re the one I really like. Yelena was just a tool for me to make you mad. Could you give me another chance?”He was like a husband who had finally realized that he had done wrong by his wife for years and was asking for forgiveness.Unfortunately, Melea was not a wife who was waiting

    In the past, Yelena would have scoffed at the idea, but at present, she had to come. If she could gain the Graham family’s favor by teaching the dancers this particular dance, perhaps her status in the Foster family would climb up a bit.With that thought in mind, she straightened her back and shouted, “The leftmost one, raise your leg higher!”While practice was in full swing, their leader suddenly came in with a long face and clapped. “Stop practicing! Go home now!”The dancers looked at each other at a loss. Their leader’s sudden outburst had been unexpected. Even Yelena stood up and headed over to the leader. “Practice was going smoothly. Why would you suddenly tell us to stop?” The leader felt furious when she saw Yelena, but due to her status, she could only say coldly, “How would I know? The Graham family sent someone over to tell us that we don’t need to practice anymore. They’re canceling the performance!”Those words were like an explosion that immediately caused the da
