    Chapter 745 The Tense Atmosphere Between Two Men


    The banquet hall was filled with the scent of perfumes and the murmur of conversations, but it fell into a


    brief silence due to the arrival of Cayden and Avery. This was followed by a wave of uproar, almost


    drowning out the music flowing through the luxurious hall.


    The banquet was filled with handsome and beautiful celebrities. However, a pair as perfectly matched


    as this man and woman was a rare sight. The moment they appeared, they captured the hearts and


    breaths of many.


    The man''s short hair was as dark as ink, and he was dressed in a pristine white tailcoat. His tinum


    cufflinks, iid with diamonds, were incredibly exquisite.

    And then there was his ck silk tie, which entuated his tall and slender figure, making him look


    even more handsome and upright.


    The man before her wore amon tailcoat with such elegance. Particrly, his radiant eyes, deep as


    the sea and cold as ice, exuded an intimidating aura of royalty that instinctivelymanded respect.


    The beautiful woman holding his arm, with her bright, kind eyes and gentle demeanor, was like a


    delicate flower glistening with dew.


    She was not overly adorned with extravagant essories. Her jet-ck hair was simply held up with a


    butterfly hairpin. She wore a white, light chiffon skirt, which entuated her fair and delicate skin,


    reflecting a radiant and lustrous emerald-like color.


    With every move she made, Avery resembled a butterfly poised for flight, simply captivating to the point


    where one couldn''t look away.


    On the second floor, Wilson''s gentle and warm eyes were fixed intently on Avery, who was holding


    Cayden''s hand. His gaze held a hint of gloom. Cayden? Ha!


    Suddenly, he put down his wine ss, looked straight at Evangeline, and asked a seemingly random


    question. “Evangeline, have you ever been in love with someone?”


    Her fair skin was tinted with a faint blush of pink. Looking at Wilson, her eyes were filled with infatuation


    and admiration. “Yes, I have loved. Not just liked, but deeply loved.”


    Wilsonughed, anguid and captivatingugh. His casual demeanor was rxed and elegant, like a


    refined gentleman. “So, tell me this. What does it feel like to be deeply in love with someone?”


    With a passionate tone, she said, “When you love someone, they be the only existence in your


    eyes. Everyone else merely serves as a backdrop. Your whole heart will be lost in him. You will miss


    him every minute and every second, longing to see him anytime, anywhere. When you see him, your


    heart flutters like a frightened deer. When you can''t see him, it feels like your heart is being torn apart.


    That feeling is both sweetly blissful and filled with a thousand sorrows.”


    As she spoke these words, she gazed deeply into Wilson''s eyes, a misty haze spreading across her


    pupils.


    Her heart was firmly tied to the man before her, yet he was unaware. Or perhaps he did know, but


    being such a shrewd man, he wouldn''t waste his attention on a mere pawn.


    Evangeline was never a reserved woman. If she wanted something, she would do everything in her


    power to get it. However, she didn''t dare to reveal her true feelings to Wilson, fearing that it would


    rupture their rtionship. She felt she didn''t even have the right to stay by his side. She would rather


    maintain this rtionship of mutual use than expose her deepest secret.


    Wilson gazed at the delicate and graceful figure downstairs. His thin lips curled up in an almost


    imperceptible smile. “You''re right. Every time I see her, I feel exactly as you described...”


    The elegant smile on his handsome face was like a ray of dancing sunshine, yet it was for another


    woman, piercing Evangeline''s heart.


    Biting her lip, Evangeline said softly, “Wilson, you... I''m feeling a bit unwell. Could you stay with me for


    a while?”


    Wilson was a gentleman, so heforted her gently, “Stay calm. My esteemed guests have arrived. I''ll


    go down to greet them first, and you should join uster. After all, they are your ''friends'' too. Of course,


    if you''re really not feeling well, you should rest upstairs first.”


    Evangeline endured the difort within, along with the tears threatening to burst from the corners of


    her eyes.


    She nodded gently, appearing knowledgeable and sensible. “I''ll rest for a bit, then head downter.”


    Wilson gently touched her soft hair, a habitual gesture of his that seemed incredibly familiar, yet it never


    failed to set her heart racing.


    Wilson straightened his formal attire, and without a backward nce at Evangeline, who imed to be


    unwell, he descended the stairs. His steps were light and brisk, like a badger-bird in flight.


    Evangeline''s fingers were deeply entwined in the hair he had just caressed. Her forcibly held-back


    tears began to roll down, wetting her face that pretended not to care. Avery... That woman not only


    stole my identity, but she''s also a used woman who''s already been married. She even has three kids,


    and yet she has the audacity to seduce Wilson, who''s not married. She''s simply shameless! I''ll pursue


    my happiness! No matter what, Wilson is mine alone! No one can take him away! No one!


    With a warm and perfect smile on his face, Wilson walked past the chattering crowd and approached


    Cayden and Avery.


    He stared intently at Avery''s delicate face, but the provocation in his eyes was directed at Cayden. He


    extended his hand toward Cayden. “Mr. Moore, nice to meet you!”


    The strikingly handsome Cayden gave Wilson a slight nod, the former''s demeanor as cold as ice.


    Cayden made no move to shake hands with Wilson, and his tant disregard left Wilson somewhat


    embarrassed.


    Cayden squinted slightly, ncing at Wilson. With a strong sense of possession, he pulled Avery into


    his arms, dering his ownership.


    Wilson, who had always harbored improper thoughts toward Avery, also held inappropriate intentions


    toward Avery, which greatly displeased Cayden.


    The moment when the two men''s gazes locked, the air around them seemed to freeze into ice.


    Everyone around could feel the tense atmosphere between them. Avery really disliked Wilson''s tant


    staring. This man is a bothersome person. He almost drove me to the brink of copse with his


    relentless pursuit during the two years that Cayden was absent.


    So, upon seeing Wilson, Avery naturally felt a strong aversion toward him.


    And in that moment, Wilson was momentarily lost, captivated by her timid and lovable demeanor.


    After all, he was an elite who had been in the business world for many years. He quickly adjusted his


    mentality, secretly mocking himself. I''m long past the age of young love, but I always fail to manage my


    emotions well whenever I encounter this woman.


    Just as he was about to speak again, Roderick''s rough voice suddenly rang out. “Wilson, I''ve been


    looking for you for a long time. Hurry over here. I have something to discuss with you...”


    When Roderick saw Cayden, the former was clearly taken aback. His fierce brows furrowed deeply,


    and a dangerous, ruthless glint shed in his eyes.
