Chapter 435: The Astonishment


    Florence walked to the man and offered her hand politely.


    “It turned out we are all friends. Mister, I’m Phoebe’s bestie. You are also my cousin, then.”


    Subconsciously, she didn’t want to call him rence, which sounded like a fake name.


    rence reached out his hand gentlemanly, shaking hands with Florence.


    However, he suddenly tightened his fingers and wrapped Florence’s hand in his palmpletely,


    naturally pulled her closer to him.


    He lowered his head slightly and said in a deep and ambiguous tone, “Whatever you like.”


    His flirt made Florence’s heart hammer.


    This man was...


    With a blushed face, she shook his hand off, but she felt overjoyed as if a flow was blossoming in her


    chest.


    She was quite certain that he was Ernest.


    Although she didn’t know what happened to his face so it looked so different, Florence felt that her


    empty heart had been filled as he came to see her in such a method.


    It turned out that he had never wanted to give up on her.


    Noticing that his sister and rence were looking at each other so affectionately, Stanford felt so


    awkward and ufortable.


    Although the purpose of holding a banquet tonight was to let Florence make more friends with other


    excellent men, and Stanford wished that she could have a crush on one of them, he had never


    expected that she would have a crush on a man so soon and seemed that she had fallen in love with


    him so deeply.


    It was less than half an hour when they met. Stanford couldn’t believe that the man had almost won his


    sister’s heart already.


    They didn’t know the man’s background and personality at all.


    “The banquet is still going on. It’s not proper for us to stay here. Let’s go into the hall,” Stanford


    suggested.


    As he spoke, he walked over to Florence, aiming to pull her.


    However, when he reached his hand, a small hand was put in his palm.


    Feeling the soft and tender skin, Stanford stiffed suddenly.


    Phoebe stood in front of him and said with a bright smile, “Mr. Fraser, you’ve taken me from City N


    thousands of miles away from here. I’m so tired. Besides, I dressed up and put on delicate makeup


    purposely. You should invite me for a dance no matter what so that my effort won’t be in vain.”


    Her words implied that Stanford had owed her a big favor.


    Stanford’s mouth corners twitched. As a wise and decisive man, looking at the woman’s cunning smile,


    he couldn’t utter any word to retort her at all.


    Florence inwardly praised Phoebe.


    Since Phoebe could pull Stanford away for a dance, the chance that she could be with rence alone


    would ur.


    She had a lot to talk to rence.


    In secret, Phoebe blinked at Florence.


    With a smile, she said, “Flory, my cousin is also good at dancing. You are not busy now. Why don’t you


    dance with my cousin as well?”


    Dance? With him?


    Florence looked at the man, feeling a bit nervous.


    rence stared at Florence deeply.


    He reached out his palm gracefully and said in a gentle tone, “I’m looking forward to it.”


    Florence blushed slightly, feeling so sweet.


    Steadily, she raised her hand and put it in his palm, “I’m not quite good at it. Please don’t mind.”


    “I can teach you patiently.”


    The man smiled. Naturally, he took Florence’s hand and walked into the banquet hall.


    They looked matched when standing together as if they were lovers in love for a long time.


    Stanford looked at them with aplicated feeling. He felt ufortable as if something was stolen


    from him.


    “Mr. Fraser, let’s dance, too.”


    Phoebe looked at Stanford, smiling. Pulling his big palm, she shook it.


    It wasn’t until then did Stanford notice that they were still holding hands.


    His expression changed slightly, shaking off Phoebe’s hand.


    He said in a cold tone, “Let’s go.”


    After finishing his words, he immediately strode towards the hall.


    Looking at the man’s cold figure from his back, Phoebe curled her lips. Stanford was way too arrogant,


    wasn’t he?


    It was always said that gaining a man’s heart was quite easy, but Phoebe believed that she had to


    climb ten mountains before winning Stanford’s heart.


    “Hey, Mr. Fraser. Don’t walk so fast! Please wait for me...”

    Phoebe didn’t give up, trotting after him.


    In the banquet hall, men and women were socializing, quite lively.


    A few couples were dancing in the center of the hall. It was harmonious.


    Taking Alexander’s arm, Victoria was talking to the guests in front. From time to time, she looked


    around the hall.


    She asked in confusion, “Have you seen Stanny and Flory?”


    “After the opening dance, I didn’t see Flory much. Stanny also disappearedter.”


    Alexander shook his head, looking a bit worried.


    “Has anything happened to them?”


    They held this banquet to celebrate his birthday nominally, but it was held for Florence purposely. Even


    if she was too down to participate, Stanford would keep an eye on her and let her stay.


    However, both their kids had disappeared from the hall. They couldn’t help but get worried.


    Victoria frowned. She asked, “Shall we send someone to look for them? I feel quite uneasy.”


    “Okay. I’ll send someone,” Alexander agreed with his wife immediately. He waved his hand at the


    bodyguards and wanted them to look for their children.


    Right then, an uproar was raised in the banquet hall.


    All the guests looked over at the dance floor.


    “Wow, they were so good at dancing!”


    “Who are they? Are they lovers? When the two couples appeared, others'' dances looked less


    attractive.”


    “Look, that girl’s dress. She was the one who danced the opening dance earlier. Is she the daughter of


    the Fraser family, Florence Fraser?”


    People’s exims and discussions attracted the Fraser couple’s attention.


    Alexander and Victoria immediately looked over at the dance floor, only to find Florence and Stanford


    were dancing with their partners.


    Stanford was dancing with a woman in a red dress, passionately and enthusiastically. They moved


    quite fast, so stunning.


    However, Florence was dancing with another man rtively slowly and gently. Their steps were flowing


    charmingly.


    The atmosphere between Florence and her partner was full of ambiguity and romance.


    Looking at them, the onlookers felt as if they were watching a romance pantomime, quite touched.


    The Fraser couple was astonished by the two dancing couples.


    Alexander took several nces at the woman who was dancing with Stanford. He looked as if the sun


    rose from the west.


    “Who’s that girl? We should ask her toe over and get to know herter. It’s been so many years.


    This is the first time I see him dancing with a woman so harmoniously.”


    Alexander couldn’t help but smile so delightfully. Suddenly, he had a hunch that he would soon meet


    his future daughter-inw.


    However, Victoria stared at Florence, looking at rence up and down sharply.


    “Who is this man? I haven’t met him before, have I? Why is he dancing with Flory? Look at their


    atmosphere. It’s quite different.”
