Mr. Carter Sr.'s words put Emma Johnson in an awkward position. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, she hadn't wanted to be the center of attention at this party, but in front of everyone, she couldn't refuse Mr. Carter Sr.'s request. Ethan Carter frowned slightly, his complex gaze fixed on Emma. He realized that he couldn't refuse Mr. Carter's offer, so he had no choice but to agree.
As the music started, the lights in the hall instantly dimmed.
Ethan walked slowly towards Emma, extending his hand in a gentlemanly manner, and Emma hesitated for a couple of seconds, half-heartedly placing her hand on his shoulder.
Olivia Brooks stared at the two men dancing together on the dance floor, her fists clenched in anger, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment, her fingernails embedded in her flesh, but she didn't realize the pain. "Emma, what a bitch." She was so angry, she wished Emma would disappear from this" world forever!
Ethan's big hand fell on Emma's waist, he had mixed emotions in his heart, there is no denying that in the light, the woman's body is fascinating.
Ethan's eyes couldn't help but fall on her delicate face, and Emma deliberately avoided. meeting his gaze, wanting to end the dance quickly!
Mr. Carter Sr. stood happily off the dance floor, watching the scene with satisfaction. It's obvious what he's thinking, and Olivia can't help but feel the old man's emotions.
"I have to say, Ethan and Emma look pretty good together." Someone in the crowd whispered.
"I heard that Olivia and Ethan are a couple, but why don't they have the opening
dance?"
"That goes without
without asking, it must be because Olivia doesn't fit the old man's vision."

The murmurs behind her made Olivia feel a surge of anger, and her heart had to sink hard. She took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions.
Even though she was on the verge of being consumed by anger, she was at the Carter's house, Mr. Carter Sr.'s birthday party, so she didn't dare to snap! Olivia blamed Emma for all her resentment.
Ethan looked down slightly, and Emma's delicate face came into view, the woman's distinctive scent constantly assaulting his senses and drying out his mouth and tongue.
Emma's performance today had truly amazed him, Ethan had never realized that she was so good at dancing before. Now it dawned on him that despite living with Emma for three years, he still knew very little about her. Ethan's breath hit the tip of Emma's ear, and she couldn't help but think of that night, her face instantly flushing.
As the music drew to a close, the dance finally ended, and the crowd applauded, Emma, seemingly avoiding suspicion, immediately broke away from the hand that was gripping her and walked down the aisle.
Olivia gave her a disdainful glance, and when Emma passed her, Olivia stretched out her leg and tripped her without warning; Emma wasn't paying attention and almost fell, but Ethan was quick to help her. Emma's mind went blank and she almost made contact with the ground!
The two of them look at each other, and the atmosphere is frozen in this moment.
"Ethan," Olivia called out through clenched teeth and a pout, and they came to their senses.
