Chapter 428:
“Forget it, you're not destined for Daniela. Just make it work with Joyce.”
Alexander's grip on the glass grew even firmer as he turned his gaze to Joyce.
At that moment, Joyce, holding a glass in hand, was laughing loudly with her friends, displaying none of the poise
expected of a refined lady.
Meanwhile, Daniela stood elegantly under the soft lighting in a light blue gown, engaging confidently with
executives. Her lively demeanor drew the attention of every man present.
In contrast, Daniela, born into wealth, seemed worlds apart from the less polished Joyce.
Alexander's face grew even more somber at the thought. As the evening progressed toward the opening dance,
led by Daniela, the moment to select a dance partner arrived. Alexander, hands now free from his pockets, fixed
his eyes hopelessly on Daniela, wishing to be the chosen one.

Yet, a faint hope flickered in his heart, filled with nervous anticipation. He clung to this unlikely possibility.
However, his faint hope was dashed when Daniela, microphone in hand, announced Cedric’s name, drawing the
crowd's focus.
Disappointment engulfed Alexander, momentarily stopping his heart.

onlookers.
His hand tensed by his side, reflecting the turmoil within. Even after the dance concluded, his emotions
remained in disarray.
Watching Daniela beam with joy on the dance floor, he was reminded painfully of their past together, and deep
regret welled up inside him.
Compelled by a mix of frustration and yearning, he brushed past Joyce, who blocked his path, and approached
Daniela with determination.
“May | have this dance?” he asked, his tone commanding.
At that, Cedric intervened, positioning himself protectively in front of Daniela, his expression darkening with
hostility.
Alexander's head spun with reckless abandon, oblivious to the curious stares piercing through the crowded room.
He extended his hand towards Daniela, his voice laced with a hopeful desperation.
“Would you grantthe pleasure? It's merely a dance.”
Cedric’s complexion turned ghostly.
“Alexander, don’t provokeinto violence right here! You're her husband. Do you realize the whirlwind of
rumors and trouble your invitation could spawn for Daniela?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander was fully aware.
Yet, at that moment, he couldn't care less. He yearned to dance with Daniela, a desire so fervent he felt he'd pay
any price for just one dance.
“Sorry, I'm not looking for another dance partner tonight,” Daniela responded, her voice steady and unwavering.
She offered an apologetic nod, but her expression remained resolute, devoid of genuine regret.
“Why?” Alexander pushed, unwilling to let the matter drop.
Daniela didn’t bother with another reply. Instead, she tugged on Cedric’s sleeve and said, “Let's go.”
