"Mr. Charles, what do you mean?"
At this moment, a middle-aged couple walked over quickly, and it was clear that they could have learned that Kieran was here and came here in a hurry.
The couple were panting slightly, which didn’t decrease their elegance and dignity. They cracked an ingratiating smile when they saw Kieran. It seemed that the couple was the host of this party.
Kieran glanced at Alicia and said,
"Miss Alicia reminded me just now that the party is accessible to whoever has a invitation card. Since I don’t have one, I'd better not bother you!"
Kieran was going to leave after the words, and Rachael followed him closely.
"It’s definitely not!"
Mr. and Mrs. Baron persuaded him to stay at once, but the couple only dared to stand seven or eight meters away from the man, not daring to get too close. At the same time, they glanced at Alicia with reproach, but they did not reproach her considering the presence of Marlon Redford.
Alicia was blue in the face, but she still forced a smile,
"Mr. Charles, I'm just kidding. You can go wherever you want without the need for an invitation card. Your presence is a great honor for us!”
"That’s right. It’s my honor to have you here!”
Mr. Baron flattered.
Kieran stood without saying anything. For an instant, there was deadly silence in the bustling party. Although Rachael stood aside without any expression on her face, she was extremely pleased. Because this was the first time in her lifetime that she had seen Alicia make a fool of herself.
The forced smile on Alicia’s face was frozen gradually. She clenched her fist and wanted to retort, but she dared not say a word.
Alicia turned to Marlon for help, while the man seemed to not notice it, as his eyes were fixed on me holding Kieran’s hand. Marlon suddenly stepped forward, pulling my hand away from Kieran, with extreme pains in my wrist.
"Since you're here, sit a little longer, otherwise Mr. and Mrs. Baron will be upset!"
Marlon said and directly pulling me away from Kieran and pressing me into the chair, not allowing me to refuse at all.
"Yeah. Mr. Charles may stay longer with Mr. Redford, and feel free to let me know if you need anything.”
Mrs. Baron said respectfully.
Kieran laughed:
"In that case, I'll bother you a little longer. I don't think Miss Alicia will mind it, right?"
"Of course not!"
Alicia's face had become blue.
Kieran sat down beside Rachael. The four looked at each other, without anyone saying a word. Rachael’s wrist was still hurting due to Marlon’s grasp just now. Then Mr. and Mrs. Baron tried their best to say a few words, and then left tactfully.
I was doubt suddenly whether it was right for me to come here today, especially in such an awkward situation, but I couldn't deny that I was really happy when Kieran embarrassed Alicia just now.
At thought of this, I looked at Kieran unconsciously. Although I didn't know why he had just done that, and why he had brought me here, I really appreciated him.
I had been always bullied since I was a child, and no one would ever stand up for me, even to say something fairly.
