After Richard and Amber moved away from the confrontation with Kayden, Richard couldn’t help but
feel a surge of concern for his wife. He turned to her, his eyes scanning her face for any signs of
distress.
“Amber, are you okay?” he asked. “That must have been tiring to deal with. I’m sorry you had to deal
with him on a day like this.”
Amber sucked in a breath, her face briefly disying a mix of emotions before settling into a
determined expression. She paused for a few seconds, gathering her thoughts, before responding.
“I have to admit, Richard, I was initially feeling a little intimidated,” Amber confessed. “This is such a
huge party, and everyone here seems so important and prominent in some way, so I couldn’t help but
feel a little out of ce. But seeing a useless bastard like Kayden at this party has actually made me
feel a lot better. It kind of reminded me that bastards also dress in suits and pretty
dresses.”
Richard chuckled at her blunt assessment, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. He extended his
hand towards her, a yful glint in his gaze. “Well, let’s not let a useless bastard ruin our
night,” he said. “How about we forget him and have a little fun on the dance floor? Would you like to
dance with me?”
Amber’s eyes lit up with excitement as she epted Richard’s hand. “Absolutely,” she replied, her
smile widening. “I’d love to dance with you.”
They made their way to the dance floor, their bodies moving in sync with the music. Richard’s hand
rested gently on Amber’s waist, while Amber’s arm was draped around his neck. As they danced, their
gazes remained locked on each other, the world around them blurring into the background.
Amber’s voice, filled with warmth, cut through the music. “Has anyone ever told you that you have the
most beautiful eyes?”
Richard chuckled softly, his eye’s crinkling at the corners. “Really?” he replied. “And what’s so beautiful
about my basic green eyes?”

Amber shrugged innocently, her smile not wavering. “As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing basic
about your features” she whitessed. “People would pay to have your looks, including those stunning
eyes of yours”
Richard chuckled again, genuinely taken aback by Amber’s sudden praise. “Are you drunk already?”
he
teased. “You’re not being normal right now.”
Amber yfully rolled her eyes, herughter echoing in the air. “I’ve only had one ss of
champagne. Richard” she protested. “So, I’m not drunk. I know exactly what I’m saying.”
As the music grew louder. Richard tilted his head slightly, catching the rhythm with a grin on his
face. He temporarily let go of Amber’s hand, spinning her around yfully before smoothly pulling her
back into his arms. His strong arms wrapped around her waist again, causing Amber to let out a
startled gasp as they briefly rested on her butt.
11 have to admit Amber, I’m struggling to believe that you think I’m all that attractive or whatever
you just said.” Richard confessed. “You said it yourself, back in the car after the wedding, that the
thought of kissing someone like me was unappealing.”
He hated the fact that he sounded petty, but since the statement she made that day had bothered him
a
lot, he decided it was time to talk about it and perhaps understand if she meant it literally or if there was
another meaning he couldn’t decipher.
Amber stared back at him, a puzzled expression clouding her features. She furrowed her brow, trying
to recall what he was referencing. “LI don’t remember saying anything like that,” she responded.
“What are you talking about?”
Richard frowned, feeling a surge of frustration mixed with self–doubt. He hesitated for a moment
before rifying his voiceced with a touch of disappointment. “You don’t remember telling me that!
Just a few weeks ago,” he said. “It bothered me. Amber. And I hate to admit it, but it kind of made me
feel like you didn’t really want to be around me.”
Amber’s eyes widened, realization dawning on her. She gasped in surprise before bursting into a hit
ofughter, unable to contain her amusement at the misunderstanding. “Oh, Richard,” she choked out
between pizzes. “I can’t believe you’ve been thinking about that all this time!”
Richard’s frown deepened, his face disying a mix of confusion and relief. “Wait, so you do
remember saying it?” he asked, his voice unsure.

Amber shook her head, herughter finally subsiding. “No, no, Richard. I don’t remember saying it like
that, but I do remember mentioning the word unappealing. Just not in a condescending way,” she
rified. “Trust me, I would never say something like that in that context. You must have
misunderstood me.”
Richard looked at Amber, his eyebrows furrowing as he tried to understand what she had meant by her
previous statement. “Can you rify what you meant, then? What was so unappealing about the idea
of kissing me?” he asked.
He genuinely wanted to understand her perspective so that he could finally stop thinking in the back
of his mind that Amber may be a little repulsed by him.

Amber let out a small sigh and rolled her eyes slightly before responding. “I didn’t say that you were
unappealing, Richard. I mean, I’d have to be blind or into women to think you’re unappealing.” she
exined. “I just meant that the idea of getting intimate with you…it didn’t appeal to me at the time.
Maybe I didn’t use the right words, but I just didn’t want to have to get used to being
intimate with someone again, especially not someone like you.”
Richard Estened intently, his mind racing to grasp the reasoning behind her words. He wanted to know
what had made her feel that way and what was going through her mind. But before he could delve
deeper into the conversation, the music abruptly came to an end, signaling the end of the dance. The
chatter of other partygoers immediately filled the air, making it difficult for them to continue their
conversation without being overheard.
Richard nced around, a restlessness building in him. He wanted a quiet ce where they could
have privacy and he could clear his curiosity. He’d suddenly remembered that he’d seen a nearby
room, so he’d gently tugged at Amber’s hand, silently urging her to follow him.
But just as they were about to slip away, a voice called out Richard’s name, halting them in their tracks.
Both Richard and Amber turned their heads, their eyesnding on Louis Vidal, who was making his
way towards them with a wide grin on his face. And as soon as Richard saw him, he let out a frustrated
sigh.
