    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 was


    previously.


    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 him


    all by himself.


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


    She shed him a shy grin. It had been a long time since shest yed coy in front of others. Now


    that she was under


    Matthew’s care, she felt she had be 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 herrge eyes as she surveyed her surroundings. At a nce, she couldn’t tell who


    each 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 forcefully


    separated. 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, at


    that moment, the


    lights dimmed.


    Nics flew down from the floor above them. He looked dashing in a ck tuxedo and a vampire


    mask, and it was as if a


    real Drac had appeared before them.


    The crowd erupted into apuse. After hended, the spotlight only focused on him while a few


    helpers undid his


    harness.

    partners for a dance.”


    Elizabeth frantically looked around in search of Matthew under the dim light. Unfortunately, it was too


    dark, and there


    were also too many people around


    floor.


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


    turned 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 were


    having a great time.

    As Elizabeth still couldn’t find Matthew, she had no choice but to move toward the edge of the ballroom


    and 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 they


    weren’t allowed to bring


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


    needle in a haystack.


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


    reapers and devils


    would appear in her surroundings.


    wits.


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


    frightened out of her


    After a while, she walked toward the bar counter nearby and decided to stay there for the time being. If


    she still couldn’t


    find Matthew, she would then make her leave.


    He was the reason why she came here in the first ce, after all. Besides, she had already handed


    Nics’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 his


    ck costume and


    light–colored mask.


    “Are you alone?”


    His voice was deep and melodious. Elizabeth nced at him and gently swirled the wine ss in her


    hand.


    “Nope. I have a partner.”


    Although she had rejected him straightforwardly, the man had no intentions of leaving He simply raised


    his wine ss and took a sip.


    Following that, he told the bartender, “Can I get one ming Rose for thisdy over here?”
