Chapter 229
Renee looked down and saw her foot on top of Julian’s. Her face burned in embarrassment and she mumbled awkwardly, “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.*
‘You’re dancing with me. If you’re not paying attention to me, who are you paying attention to?” Julian asked her casually.
Renee stepped on Julian’s foot out of anger this time, and hissed, “Why did you have to say that? I’m already in a tough spot here!”
Wasn’t it obvious? Of course, she had been focusing on Stefan. She felt like a thief prying into other people’s business when Julian called her out like that.
After a while, the song came to an end, and the lights went out.
Julian suddenly let go of Renee’s waist. He spoke just loud enough for Stefan and the others to hear them. “Since we aren’t good dance partners, why don’t we try exchanging partners?”
*What?! Exchange partners?” Renee sputtered, but before she could react, Julian started walking towards Shirley. He reached out to her. “Shall we dance?”
“I…” Shirley’s cheeks turned red as she looked at Julian, who resembled Stefan. She was flattered by the attention. They were both extremely attractive men, and each had their own unique traits – it was honestly hard to choose.
Shirley instantly replaced Renee as the most envied woman in the bar.
Suddenly, Stefan spoke up. ‘I think exchanging partners isn’t a bad idea.”
After that, he let go of Shirley and walked up to Renee, staring deeply into her eyes. “Let’s dance.” From NôvelDrama.Org.
Although Renee wanted to refuse, she subconsciously put her hand in his.
The music that came on next was known as a freestyle waltz.
Renee’s dancing wasn’t too bad. Almost like a conditioned reflex, she straightened her spine, and she and Stefan began dancing effortlessly.
This actually wasn’t the first time they had danced the waltz together. Although they didn’t like each other, they danced very smoothly together. From afar, they looked like a match made in heaven.
The waltz was a relatively romantic dance, so their bodies were practically melded together. They could even feel the other’s warmth.
Renee’s nose was near Stefan’s chest, and she could smell his unique peppermint scent. For a moment, she indulged in it. ‘Mr. Hunt, are you feeling lonely? We divorced not that long ago, but you’ve already moved on to a college student?”
Renee immediately regretted asking him. As his ex-wife, she was in no place to ask him that question.
Stefan, meanwhile, was enjoying dancing with Renee under the spotlight.” How do you want me to answer that?” He asked slowly.
‘I don’t really care.” Renee pretended to be indifferent. “The girl looks quite naive, so I just felt sorry for her. If you want to play around, I suggest you try with someone on your level. Don’t hurt her, or she’ll be scarred for life.”
“She is certainly naive, just like you were four years ago…” Stefan murmured, looking down at the woman in his arms. He tightened his grip around her waist and studied her face intently. “So, have you
not moved on?”
