Michael spoke up with a well–timed compliment, “Great job!” 

Spotting Emily pushing Ethan away, Andrew lost his 

enthusiasm and turned back to watch Nancy’s piano performance. 

As for Ethan, when he saw Emily’s hand resting on Alexander’s 

his expression darkened, but he remained silent. 

arm, 

After Ethan left, Emily attempted to withdraw her hand from Alexander’s. 

However, in an instant, Alexander tightened his grip. 

Turning to look, Emily found Alexander looking at her with tear–brimming eyes. 

Amid the bustling crowd, his focus was solely on her. 

Leaning down, Alexander said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve come a long way towards you. Every time, I tried to convince myself to give up. But just now, you took my arm voluntarily.” 

After a brief pause, he flashed a confident smile and declared, “Emily, you’re mine now. You can’t run away.” 

His smile was like a spell, making Emily feel as if she was being pulled in.

What was Alexander up to? Emily couldn’t figure it out and didn’t dare to trust his words.

In this world full of uncertainties, believing him might only bring her pain. 

Even though Emily managed to avoid Alexander, she could sense his eyes following her. 

The dance commenced, and Michael, Ethan, and Andrew swiftly found their dance partners. 

Standing in the crowd, Emily was approached by some, but she just smiled and showed no inclination to join the dance. 

Meanwhile, Alexander stood nearby, silently accompanying her. 

Despite the noisy and festive atmosphere, Emily felt like an outsider. 

Nancy, on the stage, was like a star, attracting numerous gazes and holding everyone’s attention. 

It was just as Andrew had said, Nancy was outstanding and could succeed anywhere. 

Well, it seemed true that this statement held water. 

Unable to bear the feeling any longer, Emily decided to step outside for some fresh air. 

But as she turned around, a shrill scream pierced the air. 2/6

aside his dance partner and dashing through the crowd towards the stage. 

On the stage, Nancy seemed to have been struck by something that fell from above. She lay motionless on the ground. 

Ethan leaped onto the stage and scooped Nancy up in his arms. Andrew and Hugh also rushed onto the stage, calling out anxiously, “Nancy?” 

Carrying Nancy off the stage, Ethan instructed Andrew and Hugh, “Guys, go start the car outside right away.” 

The two nodded and hurried towards the door. 

As they passed by Emily, a gust of wind blew her 

way. 

Alexander quickly shielded her behind him, worried she might get caught in the chaos. 

A cloud of worry enveloped the group as Nancy’s situation took a turn. Without hesitation, they scurried off, their steps hasty and full of concern. 

Amid the chaos of the unexpected turn of events, Harvey stepped up like a true gentleman. He smoothed things over with the unsettled guests, skillfully quelling their unease. Then, without a second thought, he leaped into the car bound for the hospital. 

With the host of the event gone, Emily found herself in a bit of a limbo. There was simply no reason left for her to stick around. 36, with a soft sigh, she pivoted on her heels and made her way48

Just as she was about to leave, Alexander strode up to her with an air of determination, then grabbed her hand firmly. “Let me give you a ride home,” he declared, his voice brooking no argument. 

Emily didn’t put up a fight. She just let him lead her to the car. 

The drive back was filled with an awkward silence. Alexander kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, not uttering a single word. 

Emily was completely in the dark about what was going on in his head. She decided it was better not to pry and just let the silence stretch on. 

Finally, the car pulled up in front of the Carter Manor. As Emily reached for the door handle, Alexander’s voice, laced with a hint of hurt, broke the stillness. “Why’ve you been giving me the cold shoulder?” he asked. 

Emily froze, her hand hovering over the door. She stared at him, her eyes wide with confusion. 

Alexander couldn’t bear her blank look. He turned his head 

away, mumbling, “If it’s because of what I said earlier, forget about it. Pretend I never opened my mouth.” 

The fear that his words might have scared her off gnawed at him. The mere thought of her pulling away sent a pang through Alexander’s heart. 

Head over heels for her as he was he’d never force her into something she didn’t want.

Emily was taken aback by his confession. It wasn’t that she was avoiding Alexander; she just didn’t have the courage to dive back into the deep end of emotions. 

She gazed at him for what felt like an eternity, then finally 

spoke, “Alexander, you’re an amazing guy. How about we just be friends?” 

Alexander’s eyes widened in shock. His jaw tightened, and he said firmly, “Then I’m not taking back what I said.” 

Emily was left speechless for a moment. “You…” 

Staring straight ahead with a steely expression, Alexander commanded, “Get out of the car.‘ 

A bit frustrated, Emily still attempted to reason with him. “Come on, Alexander, don’t be so stubborn.” 

With a half–smile playing on his face, Alexander turned to look at her. 

Reaching for the ignition, he teased, “Sweetheart, if you’re not getting out, are you planning on coming home with me?” 

Panicked, Emily quickly pushed open the door and stepped out of the car. 

Alexander watched her stand on the sidewalk. He rolled down the window and said gently, “Go inside. I’ll wait till you’re safe 

16:48 Before I leave.”

The playful glint in his eyes was replaced by a look of tenderness. It was clear how much he cared for her.

But Emily was still wary. His mood swings made it hard for her to trust his feelings. 

She gave him a small wave and turned to walk into the Carter Manor. 

Alexander watched her disappear inside. Then he leaned back in his seat, rubbing his temples wearily. 

In the quiet of the car, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He was about to light one when he remembered that Emily hated the smell of smoke. With a sigh, he put the cigarette away. 

Around her, all his boundaries seemed to melt away.
