Chapter 20

ผู้เขียน: Flower Sock
"But—" Anathea wanted to say that now wasn't the time to expose her status.

After all, the last thing she needed was more unnecessary trouble. The abduction incident still haunted her, and she never wanted to go through anything like that again.

"No buts!" Isabel cut her off without hesitation. "Anathea, you can't back down. Just think about it—you're gorgeous, you've got an amazing figure, and you carry yourself with absolute grace and elegance. That other woman is nothing compared to you!"

Before she could continue, the sound of a gentle piano melody floated through the air.

In the center of the garden, a woman in an elegant sky-blue gown sat at the grand piano on a stage surrounded by blue roses.

Her slender fingers danced effortlessly across the black and white keys, each note forming a melody so mesmerizing that it seemed to take on a life of its own, wrapping around her before drifting outward.

The beautiful rhythm resonated through the crowd, captivating everyone who lis

  • Why the Crocodile Tears?   Chapter 492

    "What's wrong?" Anathea let Gregory go and looked at his neck. She noticed a wound where a shard of glass from the champagne tower had cut him."It's nothing," Gregory said, covering it with his hand. "It's just a small scratch. Nothing serious."Anathea nodded. "Oh, take care of it yourself, then. I'll leave first."He grabbed her hand again, looking at her with a pleading gaze. "Actually, it still hurts a bit. Really."Anathea said nothing.His expression made her recall that rainy night when Gregory held her waist and begged her not to leave in his hoarse voice, saying she was the only person he had left in this world.For a moment, a ripple passed through Anathea's eyes. She turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.Gregory's eyes darkened. He'd lost his calm today, especially when Anathea agreed to dance with Thomas.He couldn't hold it in any longer as he'd rushed to where Anathea was after putting on his mask. Just as her hand was about to touch another man's, Gr

    Gregory noticed Anathea's instinctive resistance. A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared."I should be the one asking you that," he retorted, his tone remaining calm."There are several changing stalls here. Why are you changing in the public area?"Anathea was stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.This… was a public area?But there were curtains, and she hadn't seen any changing stalls.Gregory raised his hand and pointed at the standing screen.Anathea glanced over hesitantly. Sure enough, the changing area was behind the screen. She let out an awkward cough as she walked in that direction, hugging the dress.Gregory watched her back. Or more specifically, he looked at the spot not covered by fabric.Her waist was slender. It seemed that over the past three months, she had been taking better care of herself. She no longer looked all skin and bone but had filled out slightly. Her fair skin, under the light, glowed with a faint rosy sheen.

    With the mask removed, that familiar handsome face appeared before her eyes in this foreign land. Anathea felt as though she was in a different timeline."Gregory…" she murmured.But she couldn't care about anything else as she frowned upon seeing the back of his suit soaked through with champagne. "Are you… alright?"Gregory didn't respond. He simply looked at her, reaching out and removing the mask from her face.Only when that stunning face appeared before him, safe and unharmed, did he slightly curl his lips and release her. He then blocked the cameras from the media.As he turned to the side, his fingertips accidentally brushed the ends of Anathea's hair. He rubbed his fingers lightly, not quite ready to let the feeling go.However, he only said, "As long as you're alright."With that, he turned and left.Juliana and Emory rushed over. When they saw Gregory soaked in champagne, they both gasped."We're terribly sorry, Mr. Sinclair. We never expected something like this to

    Anathea's champagne-colored gown, adorned with scattered rhinestones, shimmered brilliantly under the lights. The man before her stood tall and straight in a perfectly tailored black suit. The dark- and light-colored outfits complemented each other exquisitely. The softness and elegance paired with striking handsomeness instantly drew the attention of those around them.Even the spotlight automatically tracked to the two of them.With her hand in his, Anathea twirled to the rhythm, the hem of her dress flaring out like a champagne-colored rose. She was like a unique bloom among the 200 thousand pink roses."It's so beautiful." Evangeline couldn't help but sigh with admiration.Her dance partner suddenly pulled her by the hand toward the champagne tower."What's wrong?" Evangeline asked in confusion.The other person didn't answer. He only continued to lead her in that direction.But Evangeline was so captivated by Anathea's dancing that she stayed rooted to the ground.In the

    Gregory froze for a moment, and Louie raised his hand to point at the figure standing in front of Anathea in the distance. "If I'm not mistaken, that's Anathea's assistant, right? I think his name is Thomas."Gregory didn't speak. His gaze fell on the two people standing unusually close to each other, and he narrowed his eyes slightly."It's so cold. Why did the temperature suddenly drop?" Louie rubbed his arms and quietly moved away from Gregory. "If you're not interested, then just stay here. I'm going first, okay?"With that, Louie immediately went on the dance floor.A figure wearing a cool-toned mask appeared in his line of sight. Louie paused and glanced at the woman who had just appeared in front of him.She had long, golden, wavy hair. The delicate mask revealed a pair of beautiful dark green eyes that were shimmering under the lights. She was a typical beauty.The woman was also observing him.Meanwhile, the sound of a melodious violin began to play. Louie didn't thin

    Evangeline was grinning so wide she could barely close her mouth. She whispered to Lena, "Did you hear that? Ms. Doyle and Mr. Smith just praised our team as the most professional one in front of all the media!"That was a massive walking advertisement. The effect of the publicity was off the charts.Lena nodded repeatedly, looking at Anathea in admiration. She knew it—Anathea was the best!With one hand in her pocket, Giselle nudged Anathea's shoulder with her own. "Be honest, where did you manage to get so many pink roses on such short notice?" she asked unhurriedly.Hearing that, Anathea simply curved her lips. "There were never any pink roses. They were all the white ones from before.""What?" A flash of surprise crossed Giselle's eyes.Evangeline was stunned for a few seconds as well. But upon observing how the rose stems had turned from green to red, realization dawned on her. "You used the color absorption technique?"Anathea nodded slightly. "I added red dye to the wat
