Chapter 1873
Finally, they synced up. As Ellen looked up, under the lights, she found that the man never took his eyes off her face. His passionate gaze was akin to the universe, capable of making one lose oneself staring into it.
Although Ellen was not a romantic, at this moment, she felt all warm and fuzzy inside, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
Suddenly, someone bumped into her from behind, making her hug Jared tightly. Ellen blushed furiously, but due to the dim lights, nobody saw it.
Just as she wanted to put some distance between them, she noticed that a big palm was pressing on her back, not allowing her to leave.
This made them seem even more ambiguous. Looking left and right, she was relieved that everyone was in the same position, which did not make them stand out. So, Ellen rested her face on Jared’s chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.
His rhythmic heartbeat was like a hypnotization session, making her somewhat drowsy. Lowering his head, Jared saw the woman in his embrace blinking her eyes from time to time. It was incredibly attractive… and sexy. Jared gulped, trying to control his emotions, as he seemed to be tortured by this dance.
Meanwhile, Ellen was acting naturally since she did not have any other thoughts. It might be due to her being slow to pick up romantic advances, so even when they were this close, she was still able to think of other things.
Yet, the man only thought about how to devour her later. After one dance, Jared could see that Ellen did not like this kind of event, so he brought her to eat dinner at an outside restaurant.
Ellen, who really did not like such occasions, inwardly sighed in relief after they came out. The neon lights and bustling streets she saw through the car window soothed her greatly.
Jared brought her to a restaurant. Since they were still wearing their outfits from the event, the waiters were shocked at their appearance, thinking whether they were a pair of eloped royals.
