[At the Engagement Party]

Amid the soft light and the concerto of the violin and the piano, men and women snuggled up toeach other to waltz.

Suddenly, everyone split into two sides to make room in the middle.

Patrick took his wife in his arms and spun into the dance floor. As they were both professionaldancers, their moves were beautiful and gentle, echoing the melody with the music. Christina's longblue fishtail dress swayed and moved as she danced, giving expression to incomparable elegance.The others stopped dancing and started to watch them.

In fact, even if Patrick didn't do anything, his upstanding figure, inherent dignity, handsome face,and doting eyes were enough to make all the women crazy.

Patrick had rarely attended cocktail parties over the years because he no longer needed to appear inperson.

It was a surprise to see him dancing at such a small engagement party today.

"Everyone's looking at you and stops dancing," Christina whispered to Patrick with her face leaningagainst his ears.

Just as everyone was amazed at the perfect couple, Christina said something to kill the buzz at thistime, "That's great. They won't step on my skirt. Patrick, you're gonna lose!"

Christina made a bet. If anyone stepped on her long skirt, she would lose; on the contrary, Patrickhad to go to the island as she told.

Ever since he was a child, Patrick had always been the center of attention wherever he was. Besides,he had voluntarily stepped on the dance floor this time, so naturally, everyone gave the way tothem.

Everyone was staring at Patrick.

Christina also looked stunning today - she wore a low-key blue diamond fishtail dress with a longhem, which was as fairy as a goddess. However, there were too many beauties in this world.Compared to Patrick, the only grandson of the Hopkins family, even if Christina was the youngmadam of the Hopkins family, many people actually didn't fall for her.

As a matter of fact, many people looked forward to their divorce every day.

The women present all wished that they could stand next to Patrick instead of Christina

"Patrick, you can't be so despicable. Don't step on my skirt!"

Only the two of them understood each other's true thoughts at this moment.

Christina flung her skirt's long hemline to stop it from being stepped on by Patrick.

The long blue silk dress fluttered in the air, unfolding a very beautiful scene. At this moment, Patrickwas giving a faint smile and focusing his eyes on Christina the whole time.

Christina, on the other hand, was giving a slight frown and in a sulk.

"They don't seem to be just dancing.” After watching them for a while, Henry felt a little strange.Patrick and Christina both had very beautiful dancing moves, but their dances were a little weird.Christina was obviously retreating step by step. Patrick, who was clearly in a good mood, was tryingto step on her skirt on every move.

"Patrick is playing the game of cat and mouse with her."

Charles said, and then also led his girlfriend that was chosen by his mother onto the dance floor."What is Mr. Hopkins playing?” The woman who was wrapping her arms around Charles’ waistasked curiously.

Charles had always been very gentlemanly to women. He said with a handsome smile, "Maybe he isplaying some kind of game with his wife. Who knows."

(Patrick is playing games with his wife? That was astonishing news.)

The woman froze for a moment and then turned to look at Christina with mixed feelings.

(She is beautiful, but there are so many beauties in this world, why is she the one married toPatrick?)

At this moment, the unpopular granddaughter-in-law of the Hopkins family in the middle of thedance floor did something very out of line.

She jumped up and wrapped her arms around Patrick's neck, her long legs wide open and grabbinghis waist... This posture was really ungraceful.

Christina was opening her legs in front of more than a hundred people.

Everyone immediately became dumbfounded.

"Patrick, do you think you can step on the hem of my skirt like that?" Christina asked as she heldhim with both hands and feet like a koala.

Her clear and bright eyes sparkled with smugness and joy.

When Patrick met her eyes, he immediately let out a chuckle.

These two are really unscrupulous!

"Ouch!"

From the other side of the room came a sudden scream. Everyone turned around and saw that thewoman dancing with Charles suddenly danced like Christina in a very intimate and ambiguous way.She hugged Charles's head and put her long legs around his waist.

Charles was startled by her moves. The next second, he pushed her to the ground in fear.

The girl, who was a daughter of the Preston family, fell to the ground and cried out in pain.Perhaps it was too sudden, everyone paused for a moment. After a while, a friend of hers trottedover to help her up.

Charles also realized that his behavior just now was too rude. For the first time in his life, he said tothe woman awkwardly, "I'm sorry.”

The daughter of the Preston family was embarrassed as hell right now.

She just wanted to make things faster with Charles. Besides, Patrick and his wife also danced thisway. She didn't expect to be pushed away by Charles all of a sudden...

Who would think that Charles, who had dated countless women, would be so reserved?

Not only did Charles apologize to her in front of everyone, but he also held her to the side to take arest, and chatted with her gently and carefully.

So she was feeling less embarrassed now. Soon, everyone got over this incident and continued todance.

Only Charles was feeling annoyed.

(It is all Christina's fault. Why did she do such a crazy thing out of nowhere? Now how can I explainto my mother that I'm gonna change a girlfriend when I go home later. I am definitely gonna bepunished by her!)

Christina was focused on playing games with Patrick now and didn't notice anything wrong with heract. She often fooled around with Patrick at home, and he never said anything about it.

Seeing Charles instinctively push away the woman holding her with disgust, Christina immediatelyunderstood what had happened and jumped to the ground.

"Christina, you guys should go to the hotel!" Lucy walked over and teased.

"What are you thinking about?" Christina said stiffly.

"Patrick and I have been married for too long. We are just... having fun.”

Patrick would not take people's guesses, thoughts, or the expectations of those women for intrigueto heart.

However, when he heard Christina say they were "married for too long", his cold face flickered afaint smile. He took her arms and strode out of the dance floor to sit in the booth

Lucy immediately followed them. (Boss is such a badass who never cares about what other peoplesay about him.)

"Christina, you should take me to see a doctor.”

Lucy swung her left wrist, which was bruised and swollen.

Patrick glanced at her. Christina immediately said in displeasure, "I didn't do it. How can I beat you?""Your brother did it," Lucy said expressionlessly.

She pointed to the dining area on the south side. "I'm not sure if it's your brother or Derek. Youhave to take me to see a doctor anyway." Lucy now caught a chance to blackmail her.

When Christina heard the word "your brother,” she was even more agitated than Lucy.

She pushed Patrick's hands away and rushed towards the dining area almost murderously.
