Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 127

“I don’t want you to waste your precious time with me! You know what? I’ll stand where you can easily spot me! That way, you get to have fun while ensuring I’m safe!” It would be awkward to hang out around Zachary since he was a friend of Christopher, not mine.

He dismissed my suggestion and insisted on following me everywhere.

When I was about to suggest something else, Darius approached me and asked, “Care to join me for a dance?”

“M-Me?” I pointed at myself with my eyes widened in disbelief.

Darius replied with a bright grin, “Who else could it be?”

“B-But—” I looked at my hands and added, “I don’t think that’s possible.”

“It’s fine. I’ll hold your wrists.” Upon Darius’ insistence, I dared not reject further. After all, not only was he Christopher’s brother, he was also the mayor of Avenport. Rumor had it that he was about to rise above the ranks soon.

Zachary was against the idea. He asked, “Are you sure you want her to join you for a dance?”

“I’ll return her to you within a few minutes, okay?” Judging by Darius’ look, I was pretty sure he had misperceived our relationship.

Thus, I decided to play along with Darius and winked at Zachary. Coming to think of it, it was an honor to dance with the host. The moment I joined him for a dance, I could feel I had stolen the limelight.

Those who had been scowling at me since I showed up got their curiosity piqued because Darius was a married man. They must be wondering the sort of relationship Darius and I had.

Darius must have caught a glimpse of my scrunched-up face. “Can’t get used to it?”

I was impressed because he could guide me—a complete rookie—at ease. There were a few times when I almost stepped on his feet. However, he could evade it all while carrying on with the dance.
