She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 109

The Pierces had already taken to the center of the dance floor. Miles asked Quinn if she knew how to dance.

She shook her head. "No."

The last time she danced, Ethan had guided her through every step, accommodating her so she wouldn't look entirely clumsy.

Miles wasn't surprised. To keep the Pierces convinced, he had to endure a full dance with her, no matter how reluctant he was.

The ballroom was a sea of glittering lights as the gentlemen pulled their partners onto the floor.

Miles followed suit. Swallowing his impatience and distaste, he took Quinn's hand and placed his other hand lightly on her slender waist.

"Just follow my lead. I'll guide you."

The warm contact seeped through her dress, brushing against her skin. In the past, her heart would have raced, her cheeks flushing with shy excitement.

Now, all it brought was a wave of discomfort.

Looking up at the impossibly handsome man before her, she coolly lowered her eyes.

To play the part of the devoted husband for the onlookers, Miles had no choice but to patiently guide Quinn through the steps.

His movements were gentlemanly and elegant, but his expression was locked in a frozen, detached mask.

He forced a perfunctory smile onto his lips, exclusively for the benefit of the Pierces.

Only Quinn could see the utter coldness and distance in his eyes.

She didn't care. She had taken his money and was simply executing her end of the bargain. They were both just actors on a stage.

She met his disdainful, mocking gaze with complete indifference, matching his steps as best she could while allowing him to hold her waist.

With their bodies pressed close, faint echoes of her old feelings flickered from the depths of her memory, but they failed to stir any real emotion in her heart.

Miles's gaze inadvertently swept over her features. He had never truly noticed how delicate and refined her profile was.

Her eyes were deep and clear, her plump lips looked soft and inviting, and her elegant profile was breathtaking.

He had never realized this woman was hiding such stunning beauty beneath her usual plain exterior.

A subtle, intoxicating scent of lotus drifted into his nose, slowly melting away his irritation.

It forcibly reminded him of that night, of holding her soft, pliant body as they slept.
