Chapter 1046
Ollie’s face was as red as a beet. All the guys in the room were too damn good–looking.
There was beautiful Chloe next to Mr. Harper. She knew she was no match for her and didn’t even dare to step into their relationship.
Ella’s uncle was also quite a catch, but he just got engaged to someone else.
Then she kept her eyes on Seth for a bit. The guy was so handsome that it was almost unfair to the other men.
His aloofness, that elegance combined with a hint of playfulness, made him look like a mischievous gentleman, constantly drawing the attention of women.
Other men’s aloofness was absolute, not giving women a chance to approach them. But Seth was different. Although he was aloof, he seemed to still harbor affection for women.
Although he currently had a universally acknowledged beauty by his side, there had been times when he openly dated other women, and his scandals kept emerging one after another.
He was always generous to women; even when he rejected them, it seemed to be done with a hint of gentleness.
He perfectly embodied the term ‘playboy‘. But the more other men tried to imitate him, the more women wanted to keep their distance. Seth was always gentle, but also always cruel.
He was ruthless, breaking up without a second thought, no matter how heartbroken or pained you were.
What a menace!
So, he’d better get married soon. Otherwise, one day, if she lost control and became one of the unfortunate women by his side, what then?
The room fell silent for a moment. Kane, who was drunk as a skunk, glanced at Cicely across the table.
Cicely was still propping up her cheek, poking at the food on her plate that was no longer recognizable. A hint of playfulness emerged on her slightly red face.
Feeling the silence in the room and the gazes of everyone around her, she slowly put down her fork, and looked around at everyone.
Everyone was filled with confusion and embarrassment. They were all at a loss, their complex gazes focused on her. Even Danielle across the table was looking at her nervously and warily. She giggled softly.
“It’s these two who are getting married. Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Her tone left everyone in the room stunned for a moment. Kane chuckled.
“Exactly. I’m talking about Mr. Diaz and Danielle. What has this got to do with Cicely?” Ollie leaned on the table with her hands. Her face was flushed from the alcohol.
But no one was appreciating her state now. Ollie went on,
“Could it be that Cicely also had a crush on Mr. Diaz once and was one of the many beauties by his side?”
The room fell silent.
Cicely smiled lightly, “Pursuing beauty is a woman’s instinct.”
“Right, right, right! Danielle, you’d better keep a tight hold on Mr. Diaz. Don’t let us women who are easily swayed by good looks have a chance. Hurry up and marry him to prevent him from seducing other women! Cicely… am I right?”
Ollie sat next to Cicely, hooked her arm around her, leaning on her, staring at Seth.
He sat leisurely in his chair, holding a glass of wine in his hand. His eyes held a smile, making him look elegant, but there was also a
hint of coldness.
Cicely was feeling a bit dizzy from Ollie’s rocking, but still kept a smile on her face.
“Yes, yes, yes! You two hurry up and get married! We can’t wait!”
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Seth. The smile on his face grew, as did the coldness.
“Now all of P City… no, the whole country knows that Danielle is Mr. Diaz’s favorite. Since you spoil her so much, hurry up and marry her! So the guys in our school can finally give up, and we can have a chance to attract their attention.”
Danielle sat on the side, a blush spreading across her face.
Marrying Seth…
The thought was both reasonable and seemed so far away.
She turned her head to look at him. His handsome face still held a slight smile.
He was always like that. He was never stingy with his smiles, but not a single one was sincere.
Sometimes she would think, she’d rather see real anger on his face than this fake smile.
No one could easily see his true emotions.
She felt a chill creeping into her heart. She gave up her fantasies, sitting quietly by his side, creating a beautiful illusion, smiling shyly and happily.
Cicely was also all smiles. Her carefree laughter ignited a fire in Danielle’s heart.
Why?
Why was it that whatever she could never get, no matter how hard she tried, Cicely could get so easily?
Kane grabbed Ollie’s hand, pulling her away from Cicely.
“Really, after all the talk, it’s still about your own love life! Shut up!”
At a time like this!
Couldn’t you read the room?
Ollie turned her head to look at Kane next to her, “You hurt me! If I’m not dating the young hunks in school, should I be dating an old man like you?”
“Old man…” Kane’s face darkened, “You little rascal! Are you asking for a beating?”
“Rascal? You dare call me a rascal? I… I’m going to tell my dad! Let him come and teach you a lesson!”
The awkward atmosphere was slightly eased by Kane and soon returned to its previous liveliness.
Cicely propped herself up from the table, turning to Chloe, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Chloe reached out to hold her hand, pulling away the napkin in front of her, “I’ll go with you.”
“No need.” Cicely refused. Then, she leaned over, and whispered into Chloe’s ear with a smile,
“It’s a bit stuffy in here. I’m going to get some fresh air.”
Chloe noticed Cicely’s hand pressing hard on her shoulder.
She pursed her lips slightly, let go of her hand, “Be careful then.”
Cicely nodded, pushed her chair back, and walked towards the door.
