Elizabeth raised her hand and touched her lips. “Did you eat all of my lipstick?”

As Matthew looked at her luscious red lips, he thought the color looked even better than how it waspreviously.

With a slight smile, he wiped off the excess lipstick from the corners of her lips.

“Nope. You look even more beautiful now.”

With that, he got up and pulled her up.

“Let’s go out and have fun!”

While Elizabeth was still worrying about her lipstick, the man put on her mask for her.

“You really look gorgeous.”

Following that, he put on his mask as well. He just wanted to admire the beautiful woman in front of himall by himself.

It was only after hearing his words that Elizabeth stopped worrying.

She flashed him a shy grin. It had been a long time since she last played coy in front of others. Nowthat she was under

Matthew’s care, she felt she had become a little girl all over again.

Matthew held her hand and left the lounge with her.

The atmosphere was perfect inside the ballroom. Many were dressed up in all sorts of weird costumes,including nurses

drenched in blood as well as devils on stretchers.

It was an eerie sight, but it suited the spooky theme.

Elizabeth blinked her large eyes as she surveyed her surroundings. At a glance, she couldn’t tell whoeach of them was,

and she found this rather intriguing.

Just then, a group of people walked between them, and Elizabeth and Matthew’s hands were forcefullyseparated. Besides

that, she was even pushed forward by the group and kept walking for some distance.

When she finally managed to stop in her tracks, she turned around and tried to look for Matthew. Yet, atthat moment, the

lights dimmed.

Nicolas flew down from the floor above them. He looked dashing in a black tuxedo and a vampiremask, and it was as if a

real Dracula had appeared before them.

The crowd erupted into applause. After he landed, the spotlight only focused on him while a fewhelpers undid his

harness.

Meanwhile, everyone had started inviting those around them for a dance, and the ballroom instantlyturned into a dance

With that, she could only take a few steps back and retreat from the dance floor.

She stood by the side and watched as the couples danced. The music was lively, and all of them werehaving a great time.

As Elizabeth still couldn’t replace Matthew, she had no choice but to move toward the edge of the ballroomand walk a big

round in search of the man.

After one round around the ballroom, there was still no sight of him. At this, she heaved a sigh

Before they entered, they were made to surrender their coats and bags at the entrance, and theyweren’t allowed to bring

their phones in either. Because of that, replaceing someone in such a circumstance was akin to replaceing aneedle in a haystack.

She gently bit her lip as she raised her head and scanned around. Every now and then, a few grimreapers and devils

Fortunately, she hadn’t brought Abby along. If the girl had seen all of this, she would have beenfrightened out of her

After a while, she walked toward the bar counter nearby and decided to stay there for the time being. Ifshe still couldn’t

replace Matthew, she would then make her leave.

He was the reason why she came here in the first place, after all. Besides, she had already handedNicolas’s gift to the

butler here.

In addition, she wasn’t very interested in such parties.

Right then, a man sat down beside her. As the lights were too dim, she couldn’t tell who he was in hisblack costume and

light–colored mask.

“Are you alone?”

His voice was deep and melodious. Elizabeth glanced at him and gently swirled the wine glass in herhand.

“Nope. I have a partner.”

Although she had rejected him straightforwardly, the man had no intentions of leaving He simply raisedhis wine glass and took a sip.
