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.

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!
