Chapter 437
Sitting next to the dance floor, Isabelle refused to let her guard down even for a second, even though
she couldn’t see John and Sophia very well from the flickering lights which shone down on the dance
floor.
Now, she couldn’t understand John and didn’t know what he was trying to do anymore. Is he trying to
create an image that he’s an affectionate person?
Still, he didn’t need to do that because they had gone to great lengths to make the news of the divorce
public.
While the flickering lights were hurting her eyes, a woman on the dance floor who knew her came over
and invited her to dance along. “Miss Bailey,e and have some fun. Look how much everyone is
enjoying themselves. It’s boring to sit over there by yourself.”
Usually, Isabelle wouldn’t mingle with these people because she didn’t like crowds, and such a scene
always annoyed her. However, it was different on this day, so she smiled at the invite. “Alright. I’m
tempted to join when I see you guys having so much fun,” she said. Lifting the hem of her dress, she
went to the dance floor.
Of course, the women couldn’t be dancing like the men who were shaking their heads wildly, but
everyone knew how to dance. Besides Sophia, probably everyone else on the dance floor wereBelonging to N?velDrama.Org.
socialites from well-to-do families who had learned etiquettes and everything rted to socializing.
Naturally, dancing was also a part of it.
The moment she was on the dance floor, she slithered toward John and Sophia’s direction. She saw
that they seemed to be engrossed in their own world, undisturbed by others around them as they
ballroom danced to their own rhythm, not even noticing that she was just standing right next to them.
However, when the lights hit their way, she could see an impatient look on Sophia’s face, while John
was beaming the whole time, appearing genuinely happy.
Fueled by the excitement in this corner, more and more people gathered and danced around them,
killing Sophia’s mood when the dancing crowd began to build up.
However, John held her waist firmly and casually said in a normal tone, “Is Ian going to participate in
the talent show invested by Lorraine Jefferson?”
Stunned, she looked at him and asked, “How did you know?”
This was easy to find out, and it was even said that the preliminary name list for the show had already
been decided.
“It’s best for Ian to choose this path, actually,” he said with augh. “Since it was impossible for Sean to
retreat from his post in the Morgan Family, Ian would never be able to make it there.”
Sophia rolled her eyes at him. “Why are you so concerned about him suddenly?”
Flexing his hand on her back slightly, John pulled her deeper into his arms. “It’s not him I’m concerned
about. You are the one.”
A snort escaped her mouth as she said, “I don’t need your concern. Really. Because that’s just trouble
for me.”
What she just said was true, because every now and then, he would say something suggestive out of
the blue, which she didn’t know how to respond to.
Thus, she added, “Alright, I’ll shift the me on myself. Maybe I haven’t been proper enough with you
since the divorce, which led you to think that I might still have some interest in you. But I’m sorry, Mr.
Constance. I really don’t, and I can’t wait for us to stop contacting each other until the end of our lives.
Then, we can both live in peace.”
Without saying anything in reply, he merely stared at her. The whole while she was saying this, she
kept her gaze on him steadily. Her eyes were clear with nothing to hide, and her tone was calm and
neutral. This all went to show that she was honest and she truly meant it.
That made him uneasy and he sighed. “Let’s drop that topic and enjoy yourself today. A lot of people
from the media are watching us.”
