Chapter 1415
After all the accidents and unexpected incidents that had occurred, Jeremy was now exceptionally careful.
Even more so when Madeline was concerned. He simply refused to slack off.
Opening the door, they were met with a smiling server in his uniform.
“Dearest VIP customers, there will be a masquerade party atop our hotel’s terrace in an hour. Our esteemed guests are welcome to join if they wish. Here are your invitations, and I hope that the two of you will leave with unforgettable and happy memories during your stay here.”
It turned out this was what it was. Madeline took the invitations. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The server smiled politely and turned.
Both Madeline and Jeremy had come here to have fun, so there was no reason for them to miss out on such an activity.
However, Madeline found herself shocked to know that Jeremy knew of such an event and had even prepared their outfits. He even helped Madeline into the impressive black long gown he had specially chosen for her
Watching Madeline standing in front of the full-body mirror, Jeremy went up to hug her from behind. His words were heavily weighted with jealousy. “You look so beautiful, darling. I really don’t want any other man to see such a mesmerizing side of you.”
Madeline met the man’s gaze in the mirror with a smile before she lifted her hand to pat the man’s handsome face lightly. “What are you jealous of? I’m yours anyway, aren’t I?”
“Is that so? I don’t think I believe you. Unless you kiss me.”
Madeline found herself easily giving in to the man’s coquettishness.
She turned without hesitation and pecked Jeremy’s lips thrice. “Muah, muah, muah. Happy now, Your Majesty, King of Jealousy?”
The man immediately broke into a smile. It was one that only ever appeared in front of Madeline.
A cool wind blew that midsummer night.
Everyone understood the rules of the masquerade party and kept their true identities hidden. Under the fantastical lights, people let loose and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
No one cared who the other person was for all that mattered was to have fun.
However, Madeline and Jeremy were different as they knew who each other was. They only attended to enjoy the atmosphere and had no plans to converse with strangers, let alone rave on the dance floor.
The music started and Jeremy pulled Madeline to the center of the dance floor.
Madeline used to be clueless, but she was now skilled in basic ballroom dances.
However, Jeremy did not only plan to dance ballroom with Madeline. Holding her in his arms, the two danced freely in the center of the dance floor. At this moment, they only had each other in their eyes.
After a while, Madeline felt hungry, so they both went to grab some food by the bar table.
