Chapter 1291
Nicolas chuckled softly, “Miss, that’s not quite right. If Liam were looking down on her, he wouldn’t have come to this birthday party. Also, no one said you couldn’t catch the scarf for someone else, did they? Judging by Ms. Garcia’s expression, does she look down on me, unwilling to dance with me? If that’s the case, I won’t force her…”
Clair suppressed her emotions and smiled graciously, “Mr. Francis, you worry too much. I would be more than honored to dance with you.”
Nicolas smiled and extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner, “Please.”
Trisha cursed under her breath at the side. “You jerk, you’re just attracted by Ms. Garcia’s beauty, aren’t you? Shameless! You lose all principles at the sight of a beautiful woman!”
Celeste whispered, “Nicolas is blocking the dance for Liam”
Trisha was taken aback, and then it dawned on her, Does Ms. Garcia like Liam?”
Celeste said, “She seems to have a crush on him at the very least
Trisha fumed. “I knew it. She’s just using this as an excuse to get close to men.”
In the midst of their conversation, Liam had already approached and asked, “Shall we dance?”
Celeste glanced at him, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll step on your toes?”
Liam chuckled and whispered, “Tll match your rhythm.”
Celeste shot him a glance, then slightly raised her hand Liam immediately held it and led her to the dance floor.
When her hand rested on Liam’s shoulder, Celeste finally asked, “Do you still think I’m overthinking it?”
Liam laughed and leaned closer to her ear, whispering, “You’re always so sharp”
Celeste snorted, “What do you think?”
Liam seemed puzzled as he asked. “Think about what?”
“How do you feel about being the one the princess of everyone’s heart likes?”
Liam said, “I don’t feel anything special. In fact, it’s kind of a hassle. Even if we didn’t get back together, she should avoid getting too close to me
In Liams mind, Clair was almost a member of the Garcia family. Although she and Celeste weren’t blood related, they were legally sisters.
He and Celeste had been married, and now Clair liked him. In Liam’s view, this was incestuous.
In his mind, no matter how uncontrollable human emotions were, they should be kept within the bounds of law and morality
So he was actually somewhat annoyed at Clair’s crush on him.
Celeste was very satisfied with this answer. She then pretended to be magnanimous and said, “It’s just a dance. It wouldn’t have been a big deal if you had danced with her It wasn’t very nice of you to push the responsibility onto Nicolas.”
in Liam’s mind, she was only saying this because he had already declined. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to rest easy today. No, for the entire
month.
Liam was all like. “Let him deal with it. As long as you’re happy, I can’t worry about everyone’s feelings.”
Celeste was pretty chuffed with his answer
On the other side. Nicolas was slow dancing with Clair, his arm around her waist. But Clair kept sneaking glances elsewhere.
Nicolas followed her gaze and saw Liam chatting up Celeste.
He looked down at Clair, her eyes filled with heartbreak and bitterness
“Ms Garcia, do you find dancing with me that boring?”
Clair snapped back to reality, looking at Nicolas, “No, it’s just that you have a girlfriend, so dancing with you feels a bit stressful. I don’t quite feel free
Nicolas smiled back, “It’s just a dance What does my relationship status have to do with it? If you’re really that bothered, you should’ve picked someone else Both Liam and I have girlfriends, you know”
Clair was taken aback, took a moment, and then said, “I don’t get what you’re saying”
Nicolas kept smiling, “Look at Liam Does he look single to you?”
