A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327 Hypocrites

Jodie was sharp enough to notice the couple on the dance floor immediately. She was flabbergasted when she realized who the woman in Toby’s arms was. “Am I seeing things right, Mom? Why is Toby dancing with that woman?”

While entering the venue, Melissa constantly adjusted her clothing and checked on her appearance. On such a big occasion, she had to keep her image perfect. Hearing Jodie’s startled voice, she scolded, “Don’t you know where you’re at? Stop yelling. Is that how a lady should behave?! I swear you’re learning backward!”

On the other hand, Jodie was not in the mood to bother her mother’s lecture. Instead, she tugged on Melissa’s sleeves and exclaimed, “It’s Foxy! Toby is starting the dance with Foxy!” While saying that, she pointed in the direction of the dance floor.

The name ‘Foxy’ instantly attracted Melissa’s attention. She was initially going to scold her daughter again but instead looked in the direction Jodie pointed in.

Meanwhile, on the dance floor with a navy background, a couple in white was dancing elegantly. The man had long, elegant legs and a smooth and gentlemanly gait. In addition, the woman was tall with a slim, graceful frame. With the sound of the music and the man’s guidance, she moved with the lightness and agility of someone walking on clouds! Their seamless coordination attracted the amazement of the audience. Everyone found it difficult to peel their eyes off the couple.

Soon, Melissa’s gaze landed on the fox mask the woman was wearing. As an avid Foxy’s live broadcast fan, she was highly familiar with her mask! “No way! How could Foxy have any connections with Toby?” She felt her heart was being pounded as it thumped uncontrollably. Then, she quickly deduced, “Maybe she’s just wearing a similar mask.”

Following Foxy’s comeback, her mask was sold on major online shopping platforms and was said to be a best-selling item. Since tonight’s theme was a masquerade party, her fan must have bought a similar mask!

“Maybe it’s just his new girlfriend,” Melissa added another assumption.

Among the younger generation in their circle, the other men from other families were not as abstinent as her son, Leo. Hence, they tend to start new relationships very often.

“Really?” Jodie asked.

She wasn’t bothered whether the woman on the dance floor was Foxy. Moreover, she was fine as long as no woman lurked around Blake.

Nonetheless, Melissa was an exception because, despite her best efforts, she couldn’t shake her nervousness.

On the one hand, Amelie had officially announced her marriage to the president of Starlight Media, but her son only adored Foxy, who was the only person worthy of him.

Then, Melissa kept her attention focused on the woman who was dancing on the floor. After much deliberation, she still had no answers, so she brought Jodie to meet Alfred instead.

“Happy birthday, Mr. Walsh.” Melissa handed him a gift.

“Happy birthday, Grandpa.” Jodie also took out her gift.

Seeing that, Alfred chuckled in response. “Leo has already given me something. You really didn’t have to bring another gift.”

He used to be best friends with Warren Alston, Leo’s father. Hence, he had always adored the members of the Alston Family.

“We only have one chance to give you a present, and that is on your birthday, Grandpa. Just take it,” Jodie replied sweetly. Though she wasn’t exceptionally bright, she was pretty good at coaxing.

After hearing that, he chuckled in delight and told the butler to keep them.

After exchanging customary greetings with him, Melissa switched the subject. “What made you decide to let Toby lead the dance this year? You used to be worried that his girlfriends from casual relationships might ruin your family’s reputation, didn’t you?”

Hearing that question, Alfred propped his chin with his fingers and looked in Toby’s direction. “He is quite a flirt but never brings his girlfriend to my birthday banquets. He must be serious about this one since he brought her along.”
