Nancy shook her head. “Ah, it’s nothing,” she said.

As the banquet was nearing its end, Harvey finished toasting everyone and returned to their table. 

Standing behind Ethan, he gently patted Nancy on the shoulder and whispered, “Sir Wilson asked me to give you something.” 

With that, he handed a small box to Nancy. 

Nancy took the box, surprise evident in her voice as she exclaimed, “Ah?” 

Harvey explained, “It’s from Ethan’s grandpa.” 

Nancy was taken aback. Could it be that Matthew already knew about her? 

Was he giving her a gift to show his approval of her relationship with Ethan? 

Noticing Nancy lost in thought, Harvey told her, “Stick with Ethan. He’s a good kid.” 

Hearing this, Nancy was more convinced that Matthew must know about her and accept her. 

So, she replied sweetly to Harvey, “Mr. Pitts, don’t worry. I’ll definitely stay with Ethan.”

Harvey nodded with a smile. Looking around at the people at

table, he announced, “There’ll be a dance later. Have a good time before you head back.”

To liven up the atmosphere, Michael replied loudly, “Sure, Mr. 

Pitts.” 

After Harvey left, Kyrian checked his watch. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up. 

After saying goodbye to Alexander, Emily, and Michael, he left. 

He had to go back to be with Tommy, so he couldn’t stay long. 

Soon, the banquet ended, and Harvey arranged for someone to lead the guests to the ballroom. 

When they entered, they were all stunned by the opulence inside. 

Drinks, cocktails, fruits, pastries, and snacks were all laid out. 

There was also a light show, a stage, and a grand piano. 

Impressed by the grand setup, Michael turned to Emily, extending his hand. “Emily, may have this dance?” he asked. 

But before Emily could respond, Alexander swatted Michael’s hand away. 

Michael shot Alexander an annoyed look. “So petty,” he grumbled. 

Meanwhile, at the sight of the piano on the stage, Nancy was 6:45

Ethan was about to ask her to dance, but before he could speak, Nancy pointed at the piano and asked, “Ethan, can I play the piano to liven things up?” 

The words that were about to spill from his lips were swallowed back by Ethan. All he could do was tell Nancy, “Sure you can. Just do whatever you like.” 

So, Nancy lifted her skirt and walked gracefully towards the 

stage. 

When she reached the piano, she turned back and smiled. 

That smile was not only for Ethan but also for Alexander. 

Nancy thought playing the piano was her forte. She hoped this skill would make Alexander take more notice of her. 

So, proposing to play the piano was not only to add to the fun but also to catch Alexander’s eye. 

The loss of his dance partner dampened Ethan’s enthusiasm for dancing. However, as he pivoted around, Emily came into his sight. 

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Ethan made his way over to Emily. 

Standing beside her, Alexander eyed his approach with palpable wariness.

Upon reaching Emily, Ethan extended his hand, his voice husky 3 he asked, “Wanna dance with me?”

slender, and well–defined–a truly attractive hand.

Alexander, standing nearby, didn’t impose a decision on Emily. Instead, like Ethan, he awaited her response with bated breath. 

The hesitation on Emily’s face stabbed Alexander’s heart like a needle. He slowly curled his fingers into a fist, his nails digging deep into his palm. 

He was convinced that Emily wouldn’t say no to Ethan. 

After all, her love for him had been so profound. 

Ethan, for his part, was equally confident of a positive reply. 

They were still legally bound as husband and wife, regardless of the recent events. 

Michael and Andrew also cast curious glances, eager to see which way Emily’s choice would swing. 

After a few seconds of silence, Emily finally reached out her hand. 

Michael’s brows knitted together in a frown, a mix of annoyance and concern etched on his face. 

Andrew, seeing this, was already concocting ways to tease Michael. 

Alexander shut his eyes as he witnessed Emily reaching for 

Ethan.

With that, Emily turned around and looped her arm through Alexander’s. 

The touch on his arm jolted Alexander, and his eyes flew open. 

Looking down, he saw her hand resting gently on his forearm. 

This time, it was her own volition, 

Alexander’s heart was suddenly a tempestuous sea, stirred by waves of emotion. 

It felt like a dream, too beautiful and surreal to be true.
