Purple Summers really looked down on Alexander Summers when he acted like this, throwing a temper tantrum over such a trivial matter, acting all neurotic. It was embarrassing even to speak of it.
She took out her phone, pulled up a song to play, and asked Alexander, âIs this one okay?â
The music was soothing and melodious, and Alexanderâs thoughts became lively.
He had never danced with her before.
Of course, Nathaniel hadnât either, but she hadnât expected Gavin Graves to beat them to it. Indeed, Alexander had been careless, but fortunately, now he could make it up.
Alexander immediately pulled Purple to her feet.
The room was not as spacious as a dance floor, but with just the two of them, there was plenty of space to dance.
Alexander began to dance with Purple, holding her hand. He seemed a bit nervous, his palm slightly clammy.
Purple also became inexplicably nervous, her cheeks reddening as she said softly, âLetâs get one thing straight, weâre only dancing to this one song. You canât disappear for the entire event today.â
A dance lasted only seven or eight minutes, which was enough time for them to be sickeningly sweet together.
âQuit nagging and focus,â Alexander chided her.
His dance moves were a bit messy, far inferior to Gavinâs.
This was understandable. Gavin was born into a wealthy family and had often attended such events since he was young; naturally, he was a good dancer. On the other hand, Alexander grew up in the casino, with no one to teach him to dance. He had never taken the time to learn, nor did he have a female partner to practice with, so his dancing was quite bad.
Purple was stepped on twice by Alexander and said angrily, âYouâre not even dancing, youâre just taking revenge on me deliberately!â
Alexander retorted, âYou dance terribly. You should have moved back then, but you insisted on moving forward. Whose fault is it that you got stepped on?â
âI was just fine when I danced with Young Master Graves just now!â Purple complained angrily, âAnd Gavin even complimented me on my dancing!â
The moment Gavin was mentioned, Alexanderâs anger flared up, and he said unkindly, âHe has improper thoughts about you, of course heâd flatter you! Only a pig-brain like you would believe everything he says!â
âIf I have a pig-brain, then what kind of brain do you have? Is your brain filled with banana mush?! Filled with nothing but lewd thoughts!â
Purple viciously stepped on Alexanderâs foot!
Their dance became a complete mess, degenerating into a game of mutual foot-stepping. Alexander didnât want to step hard on her, but Purple was ruthless, stepping on him several times to vent her frustration.
However, although Alexander didnât want to step on her, he didnât mind doing other things, like kissing or caressing. He was always exceptionally good at these kinds of things.
He pinned Purple on the sofa and kissed her until she almost cried, then finally let her go with seeming reluctance.
âMaking such a fuss wearing such high heels.â He took off Purpleâs shoes, cradled her in his arms, and massaged her feet, noting the red marks behind her ankle. He added, âSee, this is what you get for dancing with other men. Does it hurt?â
Purple snorted, âIt doesnât hurt!â
âIt doesnât hurt?â Alexander looked at her with a cold laugh, a dangerous glint in his eyes, âThen shall we dance again?â
Purple pursed her lips and didnât say a word, curling up on the sofa, looking pitiful.
âWhatâs the point of dancing? Letâs not do it again.â Alexander kissed her affectionately, coaxing, âLetâs never dance again.â
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Zack Wallaceâs voice was cautious, âMaster Xander, the old master has arrived, we should go out and greet himâ¦â
Alexander frowned, gave Purple a kiss on her forehead, and then rose to leave.
Purple rested alone in the room for a while before getting up to tidy her hair and clothes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She noticed a wrinkle on the side of her dress and softly cursed, âBarbarian.â
After leaving the room, she didnât forget to go to the bridesmaidâs resting room to look for Sarah.
Sarah wasnât there, so Purple returned to the banquet hall on the first floor.
By this time, all the guests in the dance floor area had gathered in one place. At the high seat of the banquet, an old man wearing an old-fashioned mandarin jacket sat, while Sarah and Lily Howard were bowing and talking in front of the old man.
