Elena threw herself around with one hand taken by Hayden and then put her hand back onto his shoulder. She asked as if she didn't understand Hayden's words, "What do you mean?"
"Elena, I'll be straightforward. You and Jared rushed over to us to switch partners with me when all dancers were spinning, right?" Hayden looked down at her with a gloomy face.
Elena smiled, "Alas, you are such a smart boy, aren't you? I have to help Jared. He is my cousin. I should help him to woo the girl he loves."
"But it's not fair to take her away from me in such a despicable way," Hayden pushed her away and stopped dancing.
His move made Elena almost fall down on the ground. But she wasn't annoyed, Instead, she giggled, "I don't think so. You are not Amber's boyfriend, so it's a fair competition, but Jared got me as his helper. And, Hayden, I think you know they love each other. Otherwise, Jared wouldn't have succeeded in taking Amber away so easily."
If Amber did not love Jared, Amber wouldn't have followed him. She might have even given Jared a slap on face.
But Amber didn't do anything to resist him. She followed Jared the moment Jared took her.
That meant Amber did want to go with him.
Hayden also knew it.
He turned to Jared and Amber, who had already started to dance nearby. Then he clenched his hands into fists and said reluctantly, "I know they love each other, but…"
"If you know it, why don't you give up?" Elena interrupted him, "I know you love Amber. But she doesn't love you. You don't have to be obsessed with her. You will probably end up witnessing they getting married again. You should let her go."
Hayden lowered his head.
He knew she was right.
But he had no faintest idea to give up.
After all, it was the first time for him, a famous playboy, to fall in love with a girl.
Elena took his arms and said, "That's fine. We can talk about this later. Let's dance. The song will finish soon."
"No, I won't. I'm not in the mood for dancing right now. Maybe you can dance by yourself, Elena." Hayden shook her hand off and left the dancing floor
Then he walked directly towards the exit.
Staring at his back, Elena stuck her tongue out towards him and then murmured, "Alas, I hurt the
heart of an innocent boy. Now I feel I'm guilty. I've done a lot for you, Jared."
On the other side, Amber calmed down and tried to pull her hand off Jared's.
But Jared's hand looked as if it were pinned on hers. She just couldn't pull her hand off.
ae he also held her hand quite gently. Though she couldn't pull her hand off, she didn't feel her hand urt.
"Get off from me, Jared!" Amber frowned and warned in a low voice.
Jared looked at her, "Don't struggle. I haven't recovered yet and I can only use one hand. If you keep
struggling, my arm may get displaced."
"Then you deserve it. Why would you come to the dancing floor with one arm still in the sling?” Amber
had an angry look at him.
Jared lowered his eyelids, "Sorry, I feel like dancing all of a sudden."
He couldn't stand to watch Amber dancing with Hayden.
But he couldn't walk over to them and force Hayden to leave Amber, which might ruin his
grandmother's birthday party.
Her face changed a bit and she could not look into Jared's eyes when she said, "What are you talking
about? Who's jealous? How could I be jealous?"
