Chapter 424
The music at the ball was a distinctive waltz from the last century. Coupled with the perfectly synchronized dance steps of everyone on the dance floor, the scene was even more dreamlike.
The lights followed each pair of dancers, illuminating each person beautifully.
As the waltz began, everyone on the dance floor immersed themselves in enjoyment, showcasing their beauty with heartfelt smiles on their faces. Midway through the dance, the most passionate and graceful couples were followed by the spotlight. Everyone's attention was drawn to them. Among them, the most eye-catching couple were Lucy and Matthew.
Despite knowing how to dance, Lucy still seemed a bit awkward. She nearly stepped on Matthew's toes several times. However, Matthew gently guided her, pulling her closer to his chest.
"Matt... can you loosen up a bit? I'm afraid I'll step on your toes..."Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Lucy restrained her steps, fearing that she might accidentally jab her heels into Matthew's feet.
Although she had some close calls earlier, as the dance got faster and more intense, she found it increasingly difficult to keep up.
However, Matthew simply wrapped his arm around her waist and drew her intimately close to him.
As the final note of the music echoed, their dance came to an end. Lucy felt as though she had just survived a minefield.
Just as Lucy's healed ankles began to feel uncomfortable again, applause erupted from the crowd on the dance floor. Out of nowhere, the host approached her with a trophy.
"Let's congratulate the champions of the dance floor today, Mr. Leon and his wife, Lucy, who's also a Charleston princess. I think we all can agree that she's the star of the night!"
Lucy was taken aback, but she gracefully accepted the trophy. Juliana, Arthur, and Theodore congratulated her as well.
Theodore said, "Lulu, you danced wonderfully just now."
Lucy did not even consider the fact that she would be dancing when she altered her dress, so it was not particularly suited for it. However, she somehow managed to execute it gracefully tonight. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Feeling overwhelmed, Lucy still managed to express her thoughts, "Thank you so much for giving me this award today. Never in my life would I have thought that I would win an award for dancing." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Laughter ripped through the audience, and Lucy continued, "I actually learned this dance with my husband but we only practiced for a few days. I nearly stepped on his toes several times, so I felt quite sorry for him. I never expected that we would win this award together. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Thank you once again, everyone."
A genuine smile appeared on Lucy's face, and Matthew could not take his eyes off her.
True beauty was not enhanced by makeup, but through one's actions and expressions, drawing from the beauty within one's soul.
Truman watched Lucy and Matthew from below the stage, feeling even more desolate.
He was reminded of his old friend, who not only resembled Lucy in appearance but also in personality.
He needed solace for his wounded heart, and he thought that finding Lucy would heal his pain. Unfortunately, she had already found someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
