My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 64

THE MALE SINGER shouted using the microphone and greeted the guests. The band has also started playing. He had a clear, deep, beautiful, and genuine warmth to his voice. I smiled broadly at the guests’ applause while listening to it.

Carrick and Cindy also arrived, taking care of some guests.

My heart was pounding, and my breathing deepened as the night deepened and awaited the arrival of Lawrence.

Until we wake up to a familiar vehicle, I took a deep breath and tried to rest my nerves. Gradually the guests screamed as the door of his wrangler jeep opened.

Franco’s gaze was locked to me so intensely. He was wearing a black polo shirt with long sleeves and dark pants. My lips twitched when I noticed the clothes he was wearing. It was a cowboy outfit that is not suitable for tonight’s celebration.

“GOOD EVENING, MY lady,” he said in a smooth voice.

My voice got stuck from my throat as he stood only a few inches away from me. I don’t know how to deal with him even though people are looking at us.

“Franco, is that you?!” The voice of Carrick saved me.

“Yeah, bro!” He punched Carrick in the arms.

“What a big surprise! Where the hell have you been? You’ve missed my wedding!” he said as if sulking at the tone of his voice.

Franco glances over at me. He just let out a smile before answering. “Just busy with work,” he replied.

“I understand, bro! Anyway, did you meet Margaux?”

He looked at me again and smiled softly. “Yes, we already know each other,” he said with a raised brow.

“That’s great. You better meet my wife!” Carrick added again.

“Uh, come in to eat first.” I finally found my voice to speak.

I glanced at Carrick so that he could assist Franco himself. He only gave me a nod, then helped Franco into the hall.

I just followed them with my gaze towards Cindy’s direction. Only then did my nervousness subside. Franco is getting into my nerves. I feel like he will do something terrible.

“Excuse me, Ma’am Margaux. This is the party popper you asked me to bought,” Tanya called my attention.

I furrowed my brows when I turned my gaze to her. I do not know if I will laugh or will be angry because of the thing on her hands.

“Uh, please put it aside first. Thank you, Tanya,” I said and gave away my sweetest smile before turned her back on me.

I stared at the open gate for a few more minutes and periodically glanced at my watch. It was seven o’clock in the evening, but Lawrence was still missing. Once again, my heart pounded with various nervousness.

“Margaux, where is Clarence?” Julia approached me, and Santino agreed.

“He was just sleeping in his room. He was so tired from the trip, so I left him to Doris for a while.”

She pulled my hand and guided me to sit at an empty table.

“Who were you talking to earlier? He looks hot, huh?” Julia muttered excitedly.

Because of her question, my eyes immediately searched for Franco. And I found him chatting to Cindy and Carrick. He also talked to some guests who I am sure are also their relatives.
