Annabelle responded with, “Who asked you to care?” She stubbornly chose to wear the dress anyway.Beauty is every woman's nature, and besides, she thought Kendrick didn't want her to wear the dress because it highlighted her figure. She didn’t want to let him feel possessive over something like that.From then on, the two of them were silently upset with each other as they made their way to the hotel.It wasn't until Kendrick helped adjust her earring that he spoke up, saying, “Still not talking to me? Did Annabelle force me to make up with you in such a way?”Annabelle blushed, and slapped him lightly, calling him a dirty pervert. That finally broke the awkwardness between them.Now, as they entered the venue, Annabelle still looked upset.Kendrick sighed inwardly and decided to completely soften his stance.Surrounded by so many men eyeing her, he felt an overwhelming sense of urgency. He didn’t want to upset his little wife and risk her being swayed by another man.He took her to a

While Julissa enjoyed her dessert, the engagement ceremony on stage officially began.She still hadn’t seen her best friend, Annabelle, and she felt a little disappointed.Now that the ceremony had started, it wasn’t easy to walk around freely. So, she stayed in place, observing the so-called high society engagement party.She didn’t know the couple getting engaged today, nor was she interested in the ceremony itself. The process was the same everywhere: the matchmaker spoke, the bride and groom greeted their elders and offered tea, and then exchanged tokens.Julissa couldn’t help but think—whether in high society or the common people, these secular rituals were pretty much the same. The only difference was the grandeur of the venue.As for the guests being so distinguished or refined? Perhaps a little, but there were definitely people who didn’t quite fit the high-society image.There were greasy men sneaking peeks at the women’s chests, some people who had already had too much to dr

When Julissa heard that voice, a smile immediately spread across her face. She turned and instantly forgot about the unpleasant moment.She turned around and saw Lucas standing in front of her."Lucas... ah..."Before she could finish her greeting, Lucas had already grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him. With his other hand, he supported her waist.In one swift motion, Julissa found herself in the middle of the dance floor with Lucas.The first dance was nearing its end, and the rhythm was relatively slow.However, Julissa, caught off guard by Lucas’s sudden move, had yet to get into the rhythm. He seemed to be deliberately testing her dancing skills, which made her steps a little awkward.She felt like she was struggling to catch up, her movements all over the place."Julissa, how long has it been since you practiced? Your little feet are all over the place." Lucas teased her.Julissa stuck out her tongue. "About a month, I guess..."Then, she frowned. "You’re the one with the c

As the second dance ended, Lucas supported Julissa’s waist and finished the dance with a graceful and smooth backward bend.The onlookers praised them, and some even clapped.However, through her inverted perspective, Julissa spotted a dark, somber face in the crowd.It was Scott, standing on the sidelines, watching her with an unreadable, gloomy expression.Julissa had no idea how long he had been watching, but a cold sweat broke out on her back. She felt like a schoolgirl caught skipping class by the teacher. Hastily, she straightened up and said to Lucas, “I should go.”Lucas, however, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in front of him, handing her his phone. “Save your new number.”During the dance, the two of them had been so focused, almost competing in their dancing, with barely any small talk.Lucas wanted to catch up and hear about her recent life.Julissa hurriedly shared her contact details, saying, “I really need to go. If I don’t, my boss will say something.”Lucas loo

Julissa raised a glass of champagne and said, "Mr. Howard, this is for you."She tilted her head back and drank the first glass in one go.Mr. Howard laughed heartily. "Miss Hickman is truly generous! I like this kind of girl!"Julissa dabbed at the wine on her lips and glanced carefully at the icy boss beside her.Just in time, she made eye contact with Scott, and she couldn’t help but shudder.Why did his gaze seem even more terrifying now?Could it be that he was worried she wouldn’t be able to handle three glasses?Though she was starting to feel a little dizzy, she could hold her liquor. A few more glasses wouldn’t take her down.Mr. Howard had already handed her the second glass, his smile wide as he said, "Miss Hickman, please."Julissa took a deep breath, accepted the glass, and was about to drink when Scott stopped her by gripping her wrist."Don’t force yourself if you can’t handle it.""I’m fine, CEO Nichols," Julissa reassured him in her mind. Since this was an important b
