Julie froze. The gloominess over her heart suddenly dissipated.
Kai was so brazen, so why should she cower at every turn?
Julie lowered her head and laughed at herself for worrying about nothing.
Nicole told her not to worry, but Julie did not understand until this moment that all the obstacles she thought about were just her overthinking the situation.
The sky was dark without a single star.
Ian begged Nicole several times before she agreed to attend a private party.
Thus, Nicole could only put off the dinner date she originally had with Clayton and got changed into a simple dress before she left.
The light and shadows were whirling around, and the lights were flashing.
Ian waited at the door and was freezing to death while waiting for Nicole, who arrived late.
He walked over with a sigh and opened the door for her.
"Milady, you're a full twenty minutes late!"
Nicole glanced at him lightly and retorted with a straight face, "Which lady doesn't arrive fashionably late?"
Ian was speechless.
If other women dared to make him wait for more than five minutes, he would never meet her again.
However, Nicole was an exception. Ian gave in to her since they were young.
"What kind of party is this?"
If it was a business party, Nicole would not be unaware of it.
Ian replied, "Lance's birthday. He has no acquaintances in West City, and I just met him a few days ago, so I came to join the fun."
Nicole stopped in her tracks as her expression changed.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?!”
"Why are you reacting like that?" Ian was surprised and continued, "Our Little Miss Quimbey isn’t even present for her fiance's birthday party. If we don't show up, that'll just be disrespectful to the Sheldons!"
Nicole paused and instantly had mixed feelings.
She really wanted to turn around and leave. 'Ian Carter is such a fool! How could he not understand what it meant if Yvette didn't attend her fiance's birthday party?!’
Nicole cursed him a million times in her heart. She then saw Lance coming out as he talked and laughed with someone.
When Lance saw Nicole, he froze slightly and walked over with a smile.
