Seeing how Louis lead that lady into the dance floor, Manon turned her head and looked out the window, a slight arc of mockery appearing at the corner of her lips. What was she being so sentimental about? They had agreed that they were just in a contrate l relationship, so it was normal for him to dance with someone else, right?
Thinking this, Manon unconsciously looked at the pair dancing gracefully in the dance floor, feeling a bit at a loss. Look at them, they were so compatible. Watching them dance, Manon inexplicably felt a bit jealous and uncomfortable. Just as she was about to invite someone else todance, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her. The fingers were long and distinct, and the palm was broad, as if it could directly wrap around her small hand.
Manon slowly lifted her head to look, and saw that it was Nicholas Gray , the young master of the Gray family, who had just greeted her. "Miss Anderson, may I have the honor of dancing with you?" He held himself with low posture, neither humble nor overbearing, his starry eyes shining with anticipation as he looked at Manon.
Listening to his words, Manon slowly looked towards Louis, whose gaze had been fixed on the woman in front of him, the two of them still talking and laughing. Placing her hand in Nicholas palm, Manon smiled slightly. "Of course, Mr Nicholas"
The two of them walked towards the dance floor, just as a song ended and two couples stepped down, leaving the dance floor much more spacious. Manon kept her eyes on Nicholas the whole time, not even glancing at Louis.
Seeing the two of them dancing together, Louis eyes darkened. Alexxy was the first to notice his change, her eyes showing a trace of coldness, but her face still had a warm smile. "Louis, what are you thinking about?"
Coming back to his senses, Louis withdrew the coldness in his eyes. "Nothing."
As the music started, there were only two couples left on the dance floor, Louis and Alexxy , and Nicholas and Manon . Louis looked at Manon several times, but she didn't respond, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her.
Manon hadn't danced for a long time, so her movements were a bit stiff, but Nicholas didn't mind at all. He comforted her in a warm voice, "It's okay, , you're doing great, really."
His eyes were sincere, and his words were full of sincerity. Manon slowly relaxed as she looked at him.
On the other side, Louis face didn't look .
Alexxy clearly noticed Louis distraction. She glanced lightly at Manon beside her. Her appearance was indeed exquisite, and she was a beauty. She heard that she was also the CEO of the Anderson group family, young but with great means.
A cold light flashed in her eyes. Alexxy looked at Louis. However, Louis was the person she had set her sights on long ago. Even if he married Manon, so what? Louis had not made it public,and it was estimated that the two of them were only in a contract marriage.
With this in mind, Alexxy approached Louis a little more as the music became more intense. Her body was almost pressed against Louis.
However, Louis didn't care. The two of them were partners and friends. Alexxy had always been generous in front of him, saying whatever she wanted. Moreover, this was dancing, and some intimate actions were normal.
Manon caught this and her eyes trembled. She turned her head and stopped looking at them.
Nicholas who stood in front of Manon easily caught her expression. He looked at Louis with a playful look in his eyes.
Before Louis looked at them, Nicholas lowered his head and whispered, "Manon, will you be my girlfriend? I really like you."
In the face of Nicholas's direct and sincere words, Manon's breath suddenly stopped. She looked at Nicholas and raised the corner of her lips, then took advantage of the change in position to wave the hand with the ring in front of Nicholas, "Sorry, I'm married."
A mysterious look flashed in Nicholas eyes. He said, "But , I don't care. I like you as a person. Does it conflict with being with me whether you're married or not?"He paused and suddenly smiled, "And , no one from the Louis family appeared at your wedding with Louis, right? You two are just in a contract relationship."
Nicholas lowered his head, and his lips lightly brushed against Manon's ear, ambiguous and unclear.
Manon lowered her head and smiled lightly, "It seems that Mr. Nicholas information is not very accurate."
Nicholas looked at her, waiting for her to continue, but Manon closed her mouth and didn't say anything more.
On the other side, Louis had been keeping an eye on the two of them and didn't miss the scene just now. His eyes seemed to be flickering with sparks as he approached them with Alexxy . As the music changed, he pulled Manon to his side and pushed Alexxy to Nicholas.
Manon was still trying to react to the situation when she found herself facing Louis. She looked at him with a hint of surprise and confusion, "Mr. Malcolm, what are you doing?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Louis voice, thick with warning, rang out. He looked at Nicholas with cold eyes, "Mr. Gray, Manon is my wife. Please don't overstep your boundaries."
Upon hearing this, both Nicholas and Alexxy were stunned. Nicholas was the first to regain his composure. He looked at Louis with no hint of fear, but a smirk on his lips. "Is that so? But I've already told her that I don't care about that."
He even looked at Louis provocatively, "Mr. Malcolm, I don't believe you have the right to restrict her from her own freedom and what to do
Hearing Nicholas words, Louis eyes turned cold, and his aura slowly became low. Seeing this, Manon pulled his hand and looked at Nicholas seriously, "Mr. Gray, you're right, but my happiness is not with you. My happiness is my husband."
As she spoke, she slowly tightened her grip on Louis hand.
Seeing this, Nicholas smile froze for a moment before he regained his composure and said, "Okay, I understand."
He then took Alexxy hand and left Louis side.
Alexxy had a gloomy expression on her face, and her mind was filled with Louis words, "Manon is my wife." She had been by Louis side for so long, but he had quietly gotten married without telling her. She had thought that he had a plan, but now he had openly admitted Manon's identity. How could she bear it?
Although Nicholas was dancing with Alexxy , his mind was always on Manon. He had even wanted to switch dance partners with Louis several times, but he was unsuccessful.
Louis held Manon hand, and the two of them danced a beautiful love song together in the dance floor, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Nicholas watched their tacit dance moves and slowly stopped dancing, leaving Alexxy there as he left the dance floor.
